“We either fight it with hate and choosing sides, or we take that upper road and work together as one,” Mayor Bill Peduto.
Police Chief Cameron McLay did not attend the rally, but issued a statement to media later in the day. It read:
“The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police will be exercising extreme caution to ensure the safety of our officers as the nation is reeling from yet another incident in which police have been targeted in a shooting. There will be fewer single-officer units patrolling the neighborhoods of Pittsburgh as officers will be more likely to respond in two-officer units. Calls for service will be closely monitored to ensure proper backup. Every precaution will be taken to keep our officers safe. We appreciate the community’s concern and will not diminish our level of service.”
Grigsby said the solution to these issues will not come from government.
“These problems will be best answered when we pray and seek God,” he said.
