ST. LOUIS (AP) — Two St. Louis-area mothers whose sons were fatally shot by police say unrest in places like Ferguson, Baltimore and St. Louis won’t stop until police work with, instead of against, the black community.

Toni Taylor and Alice Willis spoke at a news conference Thursday to show support for Baltimore demonstrators and call for communities to give blacks more input into police operations. The news conference was at the corner where Taylor’s son, Cary Ball Jr., was shot by two St. Louis officers in 2013. Willis’ son, Michael Willis, was fatally shot by a Jennings officer in September.

Taylor says young black men are dying at the hands of police at an alarming rate, but officers are seldom held accountable. Willis says black children shouldn’t have to grow up fearing police.
