It has taken me some time to collect my thoughts about the Ferguson decision and its impact on our nation. First, I want to extend my deepest sympathies to the family of Michael Brown. Regardless of the conversations taking place across the nation today, they lost a child. Last night protesters in Philadelphia marched peacefully through the streets to express their concerns. I am proud to have seen such a constructive demonstration. I am equally as proud of the professionalism displayed by the Philadelphia Police Department and their respect for the protesters’ right to peaceably assemble. There remains much work for us to do to as a city, a community, and as a nation to heal deep wounds that still exist. I urge all of us to take a few moments to reflect on the events that took place in Ferguson, Missouri on August 9th, and try to find compassion and empathy for those in pain.
