Peaceful Rallies Held Throughout The Tampa Community
Several peaceful rallies, meetings and discussions have been held throughout the Tampa community denouncing the injustices against all persons. The rallies were sparked by a rash of police shootings and police officers being shot around the country.
City Councilman Frank Reddick brought together a group of elected officials, community leaders and ministers to discuss the tone of the community. The Tampa Coalition of Clergy and Pastors on Patrol held a community discussion at Beulah Baptist Institutional Church.
