Even Russell Simmons came to support and talked about his involvement with the Peackeepers.
The Peace Keepers can serve as auxiliary police in neighborhoods where residents find themselves at odds with local law enforcement, founder Dennis Muhammad said.
“We’re coming from a community where violence is the theme of the day,” he said. “You attack violence with love. We’re coming with a message of love.”
