“Violence has never worked. Violence is not the answer. This is a comprehensive issue of distrust of police officers. We have to continue to work toward strengthening community and police relationships” says Holmes.
The pastors are also calling for more counseling, and the development of mental health programs, as well as more social services to ward off poverty.
