Daniel Miller INDIANAPOLIS (WISH)- - About a dozen motorcyclist gathered this morning for a rally for justice.
The group is helping raise money for the victims injured in the Officer David Bisard crash.
Just before noon Sunday, the motorcyclist gathered outside The Rock House near Keystone and Hanna Avenues on Indianapolis' southeast side. The group showed up to kick off a rally for justice.
"It just made since for us to do something like this," said organizer Teka Lepper.
The rally is to help support the families involved in the Officer David Bisard Crash. On August 6th, Officer Bisard hit Kurt Weekly, Mary Mills and Eric Wells on a motorcycle. Wells was killed in the crash.
"There's three people; one dead, two in the hospital, obviously haven't worked for weeks. Bills are racking up Nothing is being done from a city point of view to help them out so all of the local citizens are helping," Lepper said.
Cathy Nance and her husband Greg drove their motorcycles from Franklin. Nance said the accident has made her feel uneasy about riding her bike.
"Even when you're just riding, when you hear a siren now, its just like, you know, making sure where it's at," she said.
"I think it's a shame. If you or I were stopped and we were drunk and they took us and got a blood sample.. It wouldn't matter where they took us and if it were required, we'd go to jail over it," said Greg Nance.
Odis Long Junior didn't know the victims in the crash, but wanted to come out and help.
"I saw the accident that happened and people need to be aware what's happened," he said.
Teka Lepper said it's not about blaming IMPD, it's about finding justice.
"Not all of them are bad, but there is an issue to be dealt with right now and I don't think its being handled properly," she said.
The riders said they will continue to ride, until justice is served.
"I just really think something needs to be done; I don't think this needs to be swept underneath the rug," said Nance.
The group rode their motorcycles around the southside of Indianapolis and also made stops in Plainfield, Greenfield and Camby. A benefit concert was also put on at the Rock House after the ride with proceeds going to help the families.
