For some reason these are politically partisan events, by default. Republicans were invited but no Republican officials showed up.

State Representative Harry Lewis was asked to speak at one of these events:

With 3 witnesses present Harry said, “No”, he did not support the police community meetings.

When asked, "Why?'

Harry allegedly said, “Police think they cause trouble”.

Our local police chiefs, District Attorney representative at the meetings were asked if they said the meetings “cause trouble”. Their answer of course was, "no."

When Harry Lewis was asked, Who told you the forums cause trouble?” Harry would not answer.

Maybe it was these police:

Fraternal Order of Police union endorses Trump

I'm just guessing but I think the Tea Party racist extremist and now Donald Trump have the Republican Party in a headlock and cannot be "soft" on any hint that "Black lives matter." Even a black man like Rep. Harry Lewis can’t take that chance.

VIDEO Coatesville Community Day-Sergeant Ollis receives awards. Pastor "D" Rev. Derrick Johnson spoke

There was a highly informative, emotionally charged, coming together of clergy, police, law enforcement, educators and community at the Coatesville Community Day, August 28, 2016 at Abdela Park in the City of Coatesville.

You might say that Coatesville Police Sergeant Rodger Ollis was the 'Star', deservedly so.

The forum was the main attraction, for adults. There was also food.

Pony rides and games for children.

There were 3 other police/community forums held in the City of Coatesville.

For some reason these are politically partisan events by default. Republicans were invited but no Republican officials showed up.

I guess it's in the GOP "Black lives matter." category and out of bounds for Republican elected officials in today's Trump dominated Republican Party.

I think this event was brilliant and emotionally charged.

The forum was almost 3 hours long. I broke it down to a total of 49 minutes and 55 seconds here.

Please excuse the shaky parts.

I separated that video into 3 smaller parts:
