Transcript of Rev Eddie Karim’s prayer:
Beloved the children of God must stand up and be seen. We are some twenty-odd days into this new year and five police officers have been shot.
One, 22 years old, lost his life. One, 27 years old, is clinging to life. Beloved, we have got to pray.
It’s time for the children of God to stand up and be noticed. It doesn’t matter what a person may perceive about the police department. Nobody ought to go to work and lose their life. We, as a people, have been declaring Black Lives Matter. I declare that Blue Lives Matter, All Lives Matter!
