People are coming together to clean-up downtown after a night of unrest in Lansing.
Hundreds of volunteers turned out to help clean the streets of Lansing following a night of violence and destruction.
Cathleen Edgerly, co-organized a community clean-up effort Sunday night, and was blown away by the response.
“Last night our downtown was hurting so to have this outpouring of love and support and really the community coming together to show their passion and their pride that they have for downtown and to turn some of those feelings of anger frustrations and hurt into something positive has been a beautiful thing to see,” Edgery said.
Sunday’s anti-police brutality protest started off peaceful, but did not end that way.
Mayor Andy Schor says he too is infuriated by the death of George Floyd, but violence will not fix the problem.
“We don’t stand for police brutality, our police officers yesterday re-affirmed their oath, they won’t stand for police brutality here in Lansing,” the Mayor said. “But at the same time people have to do that peacefully.”
