Local Demonstrators Also Continue to Protest Recent Police Actions

By Monique Ward

Demonstrators and some of Toledo's top R&B singers let their voices be heard for justice his past Friday, December 12 at 4 p.m. on the corner of Erie and Jackson Street in front of the Toledo Police Station.

There was a "SING-ON AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY" in response to the recent tragic events that have been occurring across the country involving law enforcement. The group gathered peacefully to sing spiritual, uplifting and empowering songs before the officers of TPD and the community of downtown Toledo for almost two hours.
 

The songs chosen were “The Black National Anthem” by James Wheldon Johnson, “What's Going On” by Marvin Gaye, “Lean on Me” by Bill Withers and “This Little Light of Mine” by Harry Dixon Loes.

Demonstrators also protested on Saturday, December 13 in front of 13abc News in Toledo because, according to many news sources, ABC paid over $100,000 to the police officer who killed Michael Brown for an interview. There were over 50 protesters of all races in attendance.
