“We need more people in the community to say, ‘listen, this is our community, too.’ It’s not just mine, it’s not just the chief’s. We live here, just like they do, and they want to feel safe,” “I don’t know anybody who doesn’t want to feel safe. How do we do that? We need their help.” –Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan
