It’s a prayer. She’s government. honestly, I don’t want to see my political leaders praying to anybody. I was raised catholic but you wouldn’t ever catch me participating at a professional event

You're gonna be pretty disappointed in just about any local government meeting you attend, in that case. Nonsectarian prayers are extremely common. Given the historical importance of the Black Church in the Civil Rights Movement and Black movements more generally, there is going to be a religious voice in the movement for police reform for a long time.

there is a huge difference difference between “not participating” and “being disrespectful.” she didn’t have to participate in the prayer, but the texting could’ve waited the one minute that it went on.
