While demonstrations have been held across the country protesting the grand jury decision not to indict Ferguson officer Darren Wilson, a vigil was held in Suffolk Sunday to instead pray for change.
A group of Long Islanders gathered in Babylon in front of Suffolk's 1st Precinct to pray for better relations between police officers and the community.
Those who participated say they feel the grand jury didn't give justice a fair chance in Michael Brown's case.
Many who attended the prayer vigil said they were glad that Darren Wilson has resigned from Ferguson's police force. However, they said they feel it's just a small step in the healing process.
