A rainy and chilly night was not enough to stop the movement as a community came together for Prayers and Patrols in the name of peace.

The family of TiKiya Allen came together Thursday night on Belle Isle one year after she was shot and killed while riding her bicycle outside of a friend’s house on Detroit’s west side.

DETROIT The outrage over George Floyds killing in Minneapolis has spilled over into violence around the country, but in Detroit, authorities and community leaders are working together to keep protests peaceful. From Detroit City Hall to the neighborhoods, people are making sure violence and vandalism is contained during protests. That success has a lot to do with the relationships police build with community leaders such as Maurice Hardwick, better known as Pastor Mo. Detroiters such as artists Trick Trick, Tray Little and Gabrielle Wilson all defended the city. You can hear from Bettison and Pastor Mo in Shawn Leys full video posted above.
