A group of black mothers stood together in Princeton today to express concerns about the well-being of their children, and say what happened to George Floyd is a daily concern for black mothers.

"I'm here trying to get my black mothers to come out before we have a situation like George Floyd or Breonna Taylor," says rally organizer Nakeisha Ammons.

The demonstration started outside the Princeton City Hall with mothers gathering together to pray. The event started off with a heartfelt and emotional speech by Ammons about the talk she had with her children at an early age about what to do when interacting with police.

The demonstration included prayer, eight minutes and 46 seconds of silence representing the time a Minneapolis police officer had his knee on Floyd's neck, and a discussion with Princeton police.

"When we are called to respond out, we have to go, that is our duty, especially if it's something that's a pressing issue like something that may be violent nature or 911 call or something like that we can't just pick and choose where we want to go," says patrol officer Jennifer Gering.

Police say proactive community relations are an important part of their department and invite community input to help improve their policies.

"We hear that you're feeling oppressed,” says Gering. “We know that they're feeling oppressed and that there are injustices in the world and we want to help that and we want to help change that."

Police say data on call volume and monthly reports are available through open public records. They say tracking callers is not always possible as some ask to be anonymous.
