Crews were busy early Saturday cleaning up and clearing the damage left behind from Friday's protest in downtown Raleigh.

<b>RALEIGH, N.C.</b> — Protesters took to the streets for a second night in a row in downtown Raleigh, standing against police brutality toward the Black community.

The scene was more calm than Friday night, and no arrests were made. On Friday,<a href="https://www.wral.com/story/14-arrested-in-downtown-raleigh-after-protest-wake-co-building-deputy-memorial-vandalized/19259422/"> 14 people were arrested for violating curfew, and some were arrested for additional charges like resisting arrest. One person was arrested for assault on a law enforcement officer. </a>

For Friday and Saturday nights, the Mayor of Raleigh Mary-Ann Baldwin put in place a curfew for 10 p.m. Only about 20 people stayed out past the curfew on Saturday night.

After Friday's protests in Raleigh, Wake County Sheriff Gerald Baker sent deputies to assist police in downtown Raleigh to enforce that curfew.

"It sends a message that we are not playing tonight," Baker said. "We are serious tonight after what happened (Friday night)."

Raleigh's mayor and other city, business and faith leaders speak at the Shine the Light Vigil in Moore Square. They are asking Raleigh's citizens to step outside for a virtual vigil at 9 p.m., holding up a source of light in the name of peace and diversity and unity and using the hashtag #ShineRaleigh.

<p>died for that far. So many struggle for that reality. So really are fighting for that appearance. And we crave this time Oh, Lord, that you would bring it to pass, bring it into fulfillment that we will be able to celebrate and say, as Martin did some 57 years ago, Free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty. We are free at last, free from ISMs that destroy human life. And we have affirmed today that that black lives matter. And we also affirmed that all lives matter move in a mighty way. Let's just be a part of the journey that we continue and we lift up our prayer in the name of the Prince of Peace, My Lord and savior Jesus Christ and God, people said, Probably springs united. I would like everyone right where you are. Look to your left. Who do you see? Look to your right. You see, one was made in the image of the Almighty, whether it be black or white, with the Latino few or gentle that they were made in God's image. And because we are all made in God's image, we have found, and despite where we may have found ourselves in life. We never lost our values. And as long as we have Value Way should appreciate one another. So it doesn't matter whether you wear a police uniform, a firefighter uniforms or you used to be a former gang bang bang. Yes, What you have about And it is important that we understand that no matter who we are, no matter where we found ourselves a light no matter what dark crevices we have found ourselves, the light could dispel darkness. The light of Jesus Christ. The light of love can move out hatred, bigotry and all the ISMs sexism, racism, that ageism that seemed to divide us. And with that in mind, I'd like for you to value here with word of a father. Your people are still now. So, Father speak, Lord, because your people need you speak, Lord, because people need wisdom. Speak, Lord. Because your people Father, we need you to speak to the corridors of time. I speak to us in this time. Father. We're in trouble. The city is in trouble. The panels are in trouble.

In the midst of the chaos, the confusion, brutality in our time, I was reading in the Gospel of John on argument in the eighth chapter that led to the fact that there are two kinds of people. Children off the devil and Children off God. On this historic day, when we have many, many examples off ugliness, off meanness off mendacity, why not let each of us decide? We no longer want to be identified with the Children of the Devil way want to be identified as Children off God? What's the difference? Children are several, have the values off hatreds, tragedy this off green violence lives matter, say with may I am not a child of the devil. Children of God have love, respect they so find us compassion, mercy Love the body love of yourself and love of your neighbor in that light join me. Say I am a child of God on finally, this time is the Tyrod moment. I don't know what God is going to do, but I'm no God is not gonna let this home this past. So what I want you to do is to decide as Children of God will you repeat these words after me? And don't mind. I won't say anything. You don't want to say I have got a known right lord way. Wait. Just wait mode. Shape up after I will waiting way yielded and still so keep your eyes open. I don't know what God's going to do, but you know what you can do. You can decide whatever God is going to do with this epic making moment in the history of the United States. You want to be on God's sign. You want to be on God's side, Bring your boat. You want to be on God's side in the horrors passed through the streets. You want to be on God's side, Issues or raise makes you and that's where you are. If that's the case, then I go in prayer. Short prayer. In fact, you can play it with me. Lord Lord have done way. Secure the city of Ron as a tourist.
