The tragic circumstances surrounding the death of Mr. Crutcher are on the hearts and minds of many people in this community. It is important to note that despite the heightened tensions felt by all — which seemingly beg for an emotional reaction — our community has consistently demonstrated a willingness to respect the judicial process. It is the shared responsibility of all who have the ability to control their reactions to do just that. To the ministers of this community — all of your flock, regardless of their color, creed, ethnicity, background, social status, employment or neighborhood need the wisdom of your guiding hands. To the media — your community needs you now more than ever to be the objective messengers of the facts which report the truth. To the lawyers — it is our responsibility to demonstrate to our community the importance of adherence to the rule of law and the ethical standards which allow our courtrooms to be the source of justice. Officer Shelby, although now charged, is presumed to be innocent under the law until a judge or jury determines otherwise.

I do not know why things happen in this world as they do. We need to pray for wisdom and guidance on each of our respective paths. Each of us at the end of our days will have to account for our own actions. The only way I know how to walk my path is to pray every day to pray, and to serve my fellow citizen so that he or she may be lifted up.
