Mourner pauses at the casket. The police put on a uniform and put themselves in harm's way, so you have to respect the police for that. But they've lost that respect, and they're going to have to work to regain it.
Mourners comfort each other outside the church.
Ms. Braden came from Louisville with a group called Citizens Against Police Abuse. Citizens in that city have been protesting the deaths of several black youths shot by police in recent years. There's going to be more of this unrest until the powers that be really respond to the people of the community. People are becom ing more thoughtful about how we can really change things. You can't isolate yourself from what happened to Timothy.
