Description: New Brunswick, NJ - Retired Edison police captain Michael Palko sued the township of Edison, the township police chief, Thomas Brya, and other officials with political retaliation and age discrimination claiming that he retired in July 2013 after 35 years on the force because "Chief Bryan was gunning for him."
