SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Area interfaith groups met for an emotional procession to advocate for change Saturday. The procession of prayers, organized by Faith in Indiana, was in light of an independent special prosecutor’s announcement Friday that a former SBPD officer will not be indicted in the shooting death of Eric Logan on June 16, 2019.
Faith leaders in the meetings Saturday took issue, calling on Mayor James Mueller to follow through on proposed policies they said would start to mend trust with the city. Rev. J.B. Williams of Abundant Faith Family Ministry led most prayers in the procession, and backs what’s called the disciplinary matrix for first responders.
“This is one of the reasons why pastors are involved,” Williams said.
