Statement by Colonel Bradford Connor regarding the passing of Cedric Huntley

“Members of the RIPCA were saddened to learn the news of the passing of Cedric Huntley, former Executive Director of the Nonviolence Institute. A friend of law enforcement, Cedric worked tirelessly to bring people together to find common ground. His passion for teaching young people that nonviolence is the solution undoubtedly saves countless lives. The State of Rhode Island and especially our urban areas have benefitted from Cedric's lifetime of work.

"I hope everyone will remember his message when he said,   “I challenge each of you to act on your impulses to be kind by sharing and giving each day. One act of kindness per day can create an energy that will generate more energy which will lead to more acts of kindness. This is how we change the cycle. This is how we change the world.”

"On behalf of the Rhode Island Police Chiefs Association, I offer our condolences to Cedric’s family, friends and those whose lives he touched.”
