A
Hi
everyone
in
the
interest
of
time.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
we
get
started
promptly.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
attending
the
city
of
bellevue's
listening
session
here.
My
name
is
kevin
henry
and
it's
important
to
remember
that
we
hear
from
the
many
voices
that
make
up
our
community,
especially
regarding
the
bellevue
police
department's
use
of
force
policy.
A
B
Hi,
hey
kevin,
it's
great
to
see
you
here.
I
don't
know
if
you
all
recognize
kevin
henry,
but
he
pioneered
a
lot
of
the
diversity
work
that
we've
been
doing
at
the
city
of
valley
view
and
he
went
to
hawaii
and
he's
back
and
it's
great
to
have
him
back,
and
he
and
I
are
actually
co-chairing
a
washington
league
of
minority
voters
program
trying
to
get
the
people
to
vote.
So
I
we
couldn't
have
a
better
person
here,
working
with
us,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
for
being
here
tonight.
B
You
know
this
is
a
safe
space
for
you
to
be.
I
know,
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
different
opinions,
a
lot
of
different
experiences
and
a
lot
of
different
recommendations
and
that's
okay
and
it's
really
important
that
we
all
feel
comfortable
communicating
and
expressing
our
opinions
on
things
so
that
we
can
have
the
best
outcome
possible.
B
B
So
I
think
it's
great
that
everybody's
here
I
know
that
and
some
people
will
be
reassured
that
there
are
great
programs
already
going
on
and
other
people
will
have
great
ideas
of
how
we
can
do
things
better,
and
I
want
you
to
know
that
the
entire
council
was
unanimous
in
its
support
of
this
program.
We
are
anxious
to
hear
the
results.
We
have
a
great
consultant
that
the
city
manager
is
hired,
that
you
will
be
introduced
to
and
and
hearing
more
from,
but
we're
just
very
glad
for
this
process.
It's
a
long
time
coming.

meeting
but

you

A
A
A
A
A
Okay,
that
pool
will
stay
open
and
you
can
continue
to
participate,
but
we
need
to
get
to
introducing
the
facilitators
of
this
meeting.
The
city
of
bellevue
has
hired
an
outside
review
firm,
the
office
of
independent
review,
oir
group
to
lead
the
policy
analysis
and
these
listening
forms.
This
is
the
first
form
as
well
as
provide
their
recommendations
to
city
council.
A
C
Good
evening,
thank
you
kevin
for
the
introduction.
I
thank
you
mayor
for
leading
us
off
and
I
would
like
to
introduce
myself
to
the
group
again.
My
name
is
mike
giannako,
and
I
am
a
member
of
oer
group.
You
might
ask
who
oir
group
is
lawyer
group
is
a
group
of
police
reform
experts
that
have
been
working
on
police
reform
issues
for
close
to
20
years.
C
Now
we
come
at
this
from
a
civil
rights
perspective
and
background,
and
I
have
colleagues
with
me
on
the
call
as
well
that
I
would
like
to
introduce
to
you
as
as
part
of
this,
but
before
I
do
that,
I
I
just
want
you
to
know
that
one
of
our
responsibilities
is
to
take
a
look
at
bellevue
police
department's
use
of
force
policies,
and
we
are
doing
that
and
we'll
do
that.
C
But
we
felt
and
the
city
felt
that
it
was
important
as
part
of
that
process
to
be
informed
by
the
discussions
and
participation
involvement
from
members
of
the
bellevue
community.
We
don't
live
in
bellevue,
but
most
of
you
have
a
connection
to
bellevue.
So
it's
that
synthesis
that
symbiosis,
that
we
think
will
help
inform
us
based
on
your
perspective,
so
we
look
forward
to
hearing
from
you
all.
We
look
forward
to
being
able
to
consider
your
perspectives,
your
insight
and
your
experiences,
and
we
will
then
be
more
educated
as
we
go
through.
C
The
policy
review
that
we
have
been
asked
to
do
with
me
this
evening
are
two
of
my
colleagues.
One
is
julie,
rulin,
who
you'll
hear
from
for
in
a
minute,
but
julie
has
been
involved
in
police
oversight
and
police
reform
and
review
of
things
like
use
of
force
policies
for
again
close
to
20
years.
C
C
D
Yes
good
evening,
everyone
and
thank
you
for
for
joining
us.
I
I
am
hopeful
that
you
are
all
eager
to
raise
your
blue
hands
and
start
participating
in
the
discussion,
and
so
we'll
try
to
move
through
this
last
bit
of
business
sort
of
quickly.
We
certainly
understand
and
respect
brooke
if
you
could
go
to
the
next
slide.
That'd
be
great.
D
We
understand
the
passions
of
the
community
on
these
issues,
and
so
we
want
to
set
out
some
ground
rules
for
our
engagement
just
to
keep
the
discourse
productive
and
respectful,
and
so
there
are
a
set
of
meeting
agreements
that
we
ask
everyone
to
acknowledge
and
respect.
I
will
share
this
time
with
other
community
members.
I
will
allow
others
to
speak
their
truth.
I
will
listen
to
understand.
I
will
listen
respectfully.
D
I
may
choose
not
to
speak
at
all.
I
will
be
mindful
of
how
long
I
take
up
the
airspace.
I
will
speak
from
my
own
experience.
I
will
not
assume
for
others.
I
will
respectfully
disagree
if
necessary
and
will
say
why
we're
asking
all
of
you
to
be
respectful
of
the
lived
experiences
and
opinions
of
others.
Your
experience
and
opinions
are
important
to
us,
so
all
attendees
are
strongly
encouraged
to
aid
in
maintaining
the
decorum
and
orderly
progression
of
this
listening
session,
shouting
over
a
speaker
using
profanity
or
slurs
against
others.
D
Disruptive
noises
off-topic
comments
not
related
to
the
discussion,
questions
or
behavior
that
intentionally
disrupts,
disturbs
or
otherwise
impedes
attendance
or
participation
detracts
from
the
host's
ability
to
conduct
a
productive
session
where
such
conduct
substantially
disrupts,
interrupts
delays
or
disturbs
the
peace
and
good
order
of
this
session.
The
host
may
issue
a
warning
and
that
and
the
individual
may
be
review
removed
from
this
virtual
meeting.
D
So
thank
you
for
all
abiding
by
those
agreements
and
we
appreciate
you
keeping
those
in
mind
as
we
move
forward
through
the
discussion.
We
have
another
poll
question
now
to
help
us
understand
what
is
motivating
you
to
join
us
today.
It's
just
an
open-ended
question.
D
D
While
we
give
you
some
time
to
respond
I'll,
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
city's
reasons
for
facilitating
this
discussion.
Bellevue
is
committed
to
learning
how
it
can
better
serve
its
residents
with
respect
to
police
department
practices
and
policies
around
the
use
of
force.
D
If
you
could
go
ahead
and
put
up
that
slide,
that's
got
the
council's
pledge
and
I
thank
you
all
for
for
responding
to
that
last
poll.
That
poll
will
stay
open.
These
are
the
four
parts
of
the
pledge
that
I
just
mentioned,
and
this
forum
is
one
step
in
that
commitment
that
pledge
to
engage
the
community.
D
So
we've
got
one
more
poll
question
we
wouldn't
want
to
get.
We
want
to
get
some
more
specific
feedback
from
you,
this
one's
an
easy
one,
quick
one
we'd
like
to
know
what
your
familiarity
with
bellevue's
use
of
force
policies
are
and
how
familiar
you.
D
D
Okay,
so
it
looks
like
we
have
some
people
not
not
super
familiar
with
the
policies,
and
that's
great.
This
can
be
a
learning
op
there's
some
opportunities
for
learning
tonight,
but
also
in
the
future.
We'll
have
a
link
up
in
the
chat
to
where
you
can
find
those
policies
and
and
some
other
information.
So
with
that.
D
E
Thank
you,
julie
and
again.
The
polls
will
be
open
for
a
little
a
little
while
longer,
but
that
ends
the
polling
questions
for
for
this
evening,
and
we
want
to
hear
from
you.
The
national
narrative
around
the
use
of
the
force
focuses
on
key
concerns
of
the
community.
E
E
So
the
use
of
force
conversation
is
we're
looking
for
your
experience
as
it
relates
to
whether
you've
read
something
heard
something
or
have
an
understanding
or
had
personal
experience
with
the
w
police
department
and
use
of
force,
use
of
force
ranges
from
voice
commands
to
physical
force
and
again,
please
raise
your
hand.
We
definitely
would
love
to
hear
from.
E
F
This
is
brooke
and
just
a
quick
reminder.
If
you're
on
the
phone,
you
can
raise
your
hand
by
pressing
star
9
and
you
can
raise
your
hand
if
you
go
open
your
participant
window
and
look
at
the
three
dots.
There
may
be
a
raise
hand
there
or
check
by
your
name
in
the
participant
list
to
authorize
your.
F
E
It
certainly
is
there
if
you
go
to
the
police
department's
page
beyond
the
cities
page
and
take
a
look
at
that,
but
if
you
can
expound
on
your
your
remark
in
the
chat
and
give
you
some
comment
or
some
information,
we
can
have
that
conversation
around
what
your
experience
is
as
it
relates
to
use
of
force
in
the
city
of
bellevue.
E
Raised
and
I'm
looking
for
ronald
here,
if
somebody
can
unmute
ronald
for
me,.
G
G
Doing
it
putting
a
african
american
female
in
a
chokehold,
and
the
result
of
that
was
that
I
guess
the
officer
did
not
violate
any
policy.
G
And
but
yet
I
was
wondering
how
it
was
that
they
came
to
the
conclusion
that
there
was
no
violation
of
policy
when
an
unarmed
female
could
be
placed
into
a
chokehold
for.
G
Resist,
I
don't
know
if
anyone
is
familiar
with
that
situation,
but
it
would
be
nice
to
know
how
the
bellevue
police
department
came
to
that
conclusion.
E
So
I'm
going
to
paraphrase
or
give
you
a
question
back
to
you
and
tell
me
if
I've
got
it
correctly,
so
you're
looking
for
information
specifically
about
that
incident
and
the
justification
of
what
the
video
showed
of
a
chokehold.
Is
that
correct?
E
Yes,
and
let
me
just
kind
of
follow
that
up
and
ask
you
a
follow-up
question,
and
that
is
in
your
opinion
and
your
observation,
particularly
about
the
the
restraint
that
you
saw.
Did
you
feel
that
that
was
an
appropriate
use
of
force
by
the
by
before
you
police
department,.
G
No,
I
didn't
simply
because
the
citizen
was
not
presenting
any
type
of
a
threat
to
the
officer
at
all
from
what
I
could
see
and
the
entire
incident
well
was
caught
on
camera
and
so
in
the
w.
G
The
bellevue
chief
mylet
did
comment,
I
believe,
on
the
incident,
and
the
only
comment
was
that.
G
I
emailed
chief
milette
when
we
recently
had
some
civil
unrest
and
protest
in
downtown
bellevue
to
congratulate
him
on
his
handling
of
of
the
situation,
but
and
I've
always
felt
I've
lived
in
bellevue
for
20
years.
I'm
an
african-american
man
and
I've
always
felt
that
the
bellevue
police
department
is
an
excellent
police
department.
G
I
I
just
was
surprised
to
see
a
young
african-american
female
being
put
into
a
chokehold
when
she
presented
zero.
E
And
I'm
not
familiar
with
that
particular
video.
But
again
that
was
one
of
the
premises.
That's
one
of
the
reasons
why
ori
was
retained
by
the
city
was
to
take
a
look
at
incidents
and,
and
certainly
we'll
take
a
look
at
that
one
as
well,
and
there
will
be
an
opportunity
to
provide
some
follow-up
and
some
feedback
as
it
relates
to
the
department's
use
of
force
in
general,
and
maybe
even
to
include
that
particular
situation.
But
I
want
to
move
on
now
to
hannah,
because
we
do
have
a
few
folks
with
their
handwriting.
G
H
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity,
perry
and
I
appreciate
everyone
joining
to
listen
to
our
comments
within
this
forum.
So,
along
the
same
lines
of
ronald,
I
wanted
I'm
specifically
calling
in
to
comment
on
that
incident
that
took
place
in
december
of
2018
and
I'm
calling
to
comment
because
I
was
there.
I
was
in
that
target
parking
lot
at
tokula
and
I
watched
it
happen
and
the
thing
that
you
know
it
was
one
of
those
things.
I
was
just
like,
oh
shocking,
like
gosh,
I
don't
want
to
be
involved
in
this.
H
I
had
no
idea
what
what
she
had
done,
but
based
on
the
officer's
reaction,
thought
it
was
something
massive
and
significant
and
then
to
to
find
out
later
that
it
was
because
of
a
title
transfer.
It
was.
It
was
quite
shocking
and
the
thing
that's
really
bothered
me
since
is
you
know
I
just
kind
of
put
on
my
memory
moved
on
with
life
and
then,
when
I
saw
that
video
resurfaced
I
saw
the
there
are
two
people
filming
it.
I
saw
both
of
them.
H
I
saw
that
it's
written
in
great
detail
start
to
finish,
except
the
part
that
really
stuck
with
me
is
that
the
officer
said
direct
quote
in
the
police
report.
He
used
his
muscular
strength
to
remove
her
from
the
seated
position
inside
the
vehicle
to
a
standing
position
outside
the
vehicle,
and
then
the
report
moves
on.
But
the
thing
that
really
stuck
with
me
in
that
incident
isn't
that
how
she
was
taken
to
the
ground.
You
know
how
he
was,
you
know,
put
his
weight
on
top
of
her.
H
It
was
that
she
was
yanked,
jerked
and
dragged
out
of
that
vehicle
and
it's
so
disappointing
to
then
go
back
and
read
what
was
you
know
mostly
very
detailed
report
and
have
what
really
stuck
with
me.
You
know
seemingly
glossed
over
and
I
think
that's
kind
of
all.
I
want
to
say
about
that
piece,
but
it's
the
piece
that
stood
with
me
the
most,
how
you
kind
of
watch
watch
a
female
who's,
much
smaller
than
him
get
dragged
out
of
a
car,
and
I
don't
know
how
spells
to
explain
it.
H
But
I
don't
know
if
you've
ever
seen,
someone
get
mad.
The
officer
kind
of
had
it
with
probably
how
she
was
responding
to
him
and
I
think
that's
how
the
reaction
took
place
and,
seemingly
you
know,
escalated
from
there
with
her
being
placed
on
the
ground,
etc.
H
The
office
re
reviews
that
incident,
because
just
from
a
community
perspective,
it's
it's
just
so
disappointing
and
kind
of
reading
on
through
you
know,
the
police
statement
turns
out
that
that
woman
had
reached
out-
and
you
know
asked
for
you
tried
to
get
in
contact
with
the
chief
and
you
know
had
sent
a
request,
and
it
said
that
you
know
the
the
chief
had
interpreter
email
at
the
time
as
a
public
public
records
request
and
it
had
been
misinterpreted,
and
I
did
want
to
share
that.
You
know.
H
After
the
killing
of
george
floyd,
I
had
reached
out
to
the
bellevue
police
department
to
just
request
some
information
around
training,
and
you
know
training
that
takes
place
for
the
officers,
the
amount
of
time
and
people
I
was
passed
around
to
public
records
requests.
So
it's
not
a
public
records
request
just
to
get
kind
of
that
simple
basic
information,
I
think,
hopefully,
as
part
of
the
broader
conversation,
perhaps
there
can
be
some
process
reforms
for
how
a
an
individual
can.
H
You
know,
make
a
request
and
have
it
responded
to
sort
of
in
a
timely
manner
because
eventually
got
the
information
I
was
looking
for
and
it
was.
It
was
forwarded
to
me
because
I
had
to
follow
up
many
times,
so
I
could
see
the
email
chain
of
how
many
departments
it
got
passed
around
to
how
many
people
went
through
before
it.
It
got
to
me,
so
I
do
think
that
there's
some
efficiencies
that
can
be
looked
at
as
well.
I'm
a
lifelong
resident
of
bellevue
never
had
any
issues
with
the
police.
H
I
feel,
like
you
know,
generally
a
fantastic
job
is
done,
but
of
course,
there's
always
room
to
do
better,
and
you
know
certainly
hope
that
you
know
choking
someone
out
is
is
not
something
that
we
allow
to
continue,
and
I
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
comment.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
E
E
E
Okay,
I
think
I
think
you're
unlimited
now.
E
Okay,
we'll
move
on
steve
costner
is
that
it
go
ahead.
I
Yes,
I
would
I
mean
I
happen
to
be
a
clock,
gym
person.
I
want
to
back
up
this
conversation
a
little
bit
with
I've
lived
in
bellevue
for
30
years
and
I've
gotten
to
know
many
fine
officers
with
the
bellevue
police
department,
but
I've
also
met
a
few
that
were
not
as
understanding
and
accepting
of
the
fact
that
bellevue
wasn't
all
white
anymore
and
whether
it
was
disrespectful
speech
or
or
just
their
attitude.
I
And
then,
of
course,
there
was
the
baltimore
situation
where
officers
said
every
very
inappropriate
things
about
what
they
could
do
when
the
streets
got
violent,
and
so
my
understanding
of
officers
over
the
last
10
years
was
we've
gotten
rid
of
most
of
those
officers,
but
not
all
of
them,
and
I
guess
my
use
of
force
starts
with
you.
Don't
know
a
person's
medical
condition
when
you
put
your
hands
on
them
and
depending
on
where
they
are
on
the
health
spectrum.
I
So
I
we're
on
the
national
news
enough
being
right
next
to
seattle,
but
you
know,
I
think
we
need
to
come
up
with
some
better
policies
about
what
we
will
and
won't
do
in
engagement.
So
I
hope
that's
kind
of
the
floor
of
our
conversation.
Where
do
we
want
to
get.
E
And-
and
thank
you
for
your
comment
and
that
that's
absolutely
our
point,
the
point
is,
is
we
we
are
having
this
discussion
that
city
leadership
does
want
to
engage
the
community
in
this
discussion
about
where
does
the
community
want
to
get
to,
as
it
relates
to
the
use
of
force
by
its
its
police
department?
So
thank
you
for
your
comments
and
then
harry
kay.
You
should
be
unmuted
now
go
ahead
with
your
question.
J
J
I
just
have
a
my
purpose,
as
I
answered
the
poll
in
joining
this
evening
was
simply
to
learn
more
about
police
practices
and
public
safety
in
bellevue,
and
I
really
just
have
a
question
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be
answered
tonight,
of
course,
but
there's
a,
I
guess,
a
movement
that
was
circulating
quite
widely
on
the
internet.
J
A
few
months
back
seems
to
die
down
a
little
bit,
but
it's
called
eight
can't
wait
and
it's
a
series
of
what
seem
like
common
sense,
police
reforms,
and
I
they
seem
like
common
sense,
but
I'm
certainly
no
expert.
In
any
event,
they
do.
J
This
particular
movement
does
seem
to
have
have
gained
some
traction
across
the
country,
and
my
question
is
simply:
does
the
bellevue
police
department
plan
to
adopt
the
eight
cant
weight
policies
which
includes
bans
on
chokeholds
and
other
other
other
measures,
and
if
they
do
not
plan
to
adopt
it,
can't
wait?
Perhaps
they
could
explain?
Why
not?
E
And
thank
you
for
your
comment
and
we
certainly
will
pass
that
question
on
to
the
bellevue
police
department.
I
will
say
that
the
bellevue
police
department
is
certified
and
I'm
very
familiar
with
the
eight
can't
wait
and
there
are
some
intersections
between
those
two,
but
I
want
to
be
very
specific
and
make
sure
that
I
recorded
your
question
around
8
can't
wait
and
provide
the
chief
in
the
city
an
opportunity
to
respond
to
your
question.
So
thank
you
for
your
question.
E
And
kim
mcdermott
you
should
be
unmuted
now
go
ahead.
K
Thank
you
thanks
for
giving
us
this
chance
to
weigh
in
about
this
really
important
issue.
I
have
a
pretty
specific
incident
that
I
was.
I
sent
an
email
with
all
the
details,
but
I'll
give
a
really
just
quick
version
here.
So
everyone
hears
about
it
back
in
summer
of
2019,
I
was
walking
with
my
daughter
along
west
lake
samamish
parkway,
and
we
encountered
a
man
who
was
walking
down
the
middle
of
the
road
and
he
was
talking
to
himself
and
gesturing
and
he
almost
got
hit
by
a
car.
K
There
were
a
lot
of
cars
that
kind
of
swerving
around
him,
so
I
was
able
to
talk
to
him
from
the
side
of
the
road
and
get
him
to
sit
down
with
me
at
the
little
store,
which
is
a
small
store,
along
with,
like
some
amish
parkway,
and
we
sat
on
a
bench
together,
spaced
out
about
10
feet
apart
and
I
just
started
talking
to
him
and
had
my
daughter
from
the
distance
call
9-1-1,
he
was
really
clearly
mentally
ill.
He
wasn't.
He
was
often
incoherent
and
not
making
sense.
K
K
K
After
about
10
or
15
minutes,
a
police
car
arrived
with
two
bellevue
police,
a
man
and
a
woman,
and
they
came
up
to
the
man-
and
I
I
was
sitting
apart
from
him,
but
they
kind
of
walked
over
to
him
standing
kind
of
looming
over
him
with
their
hands
on
their
guns
and
they
the
first
thing
they
asked
him
was
for
id,
and
then
they
asked
to
pat
him
down
for
weapons.
K
He
consented
to
let
him
you
know,
let
them
pat
him
down
for
a
weapon,
they
didn't
find
any
and
then
still
standing
over
him.
They
told
him
they
needed
to
take
him
to
the
police
station.
You
know
all
we
had
told
him.
I
had
my
daughter
make
sure
to
say
he
wasn't
threatening.
You
know.
We
weren't
scared,
we
weren't
worried.
We
just
were
worried
about
him
actually
more
than
anything
and
then
ultimately
what
happened
was
and
then
I
suggested
well.
You
know
he
has
a
doctor
at
overlay.
There's
a
psych
ward
at
overlake.
K
Why?
Why?
Wouldn't
you?
Can
you
just
take
him
there?
Instead
of
to
the
police
department,
they
agreed
and
he
agreed,
and
they
took
him
off
and
and
all
was
good,
but
you
know
I
thought
about
that-
a
lot,
because
in
this
case
there
was
no
racial
component
at
all
I
mean
everyone.
There
was
white,
but
but
the
way
they
responded.
K
If
he
had
been
someone
who
was
more
volatile
or
paranoid,
or
you
know,
he
could
have
reacted
in
a
way
that
was
that
would
have
made
them
have
to
respond
with
violence,
and
if
they
had
been
better
trained
in
helping
mentally
ill
people,
they
would
have
known
better
than
to
stand
over
him
and
to
you
know,
approach
him
that
way
and
to
talk
loudly
to
him
and
to
stand
right
next
to
him,
and
so
you
know,
and
but
they
were
probably
following
whatever
their
policies
are.
K
So
my
point
was
that
in
this
situation,
I
don't
think
police
are
the
right
people
to
respond
to
this.
We
need
people
who
are
really
much
better
trained
in
dealing
with
mentally
ill
people
or
people
who
are
on
drugs.
Then
police
are
police.
So
what
it
says
to
me
is
that
we
need
to
rethink
who
we
what
sort
of
situations
we
want,
someone
with
a
gun
to
even
respond
to,
and
we
I
think
we
need
police
for
certain
things.
I
mean
if
I
saw
someone
being
raped
in
the
bushes.
K
I
want
the
police
to
come
and
use
their
gun
and
do
what
they
have
to
do,
but
when
I
see
a
mentally
ill
man
who
clearly
needs
medical
help
more
than
anything
else,
I
think
that's
the
wrong
people
that
come
so
my
suggestion
would
be
for
bellevue
to
think
about.
Are
there
better
ways
to
use
our
police
budget
to
hire
other
professionals,
who
are
much
better
trained
to
do
the
kind
of
things
that
we're
going
to
ask
be
asking
them
to
do.
E
K
Yes
right
and
if
I
what
I
thought
about
is
if
that
had
happened,
if
you
think
about
so
many
of
the
incidents
in
our
country
that
are
just
so
horrifying
and
if
the
person
that
arrived,
I
mean,
I
think
of
that
guy
that
was
asleep
in
his
car
in
the
drive-through
or
you
know.
If,
if
someone
who
had
arrived
was
trained
in
helping
mentally
ill
people,
those
tragic
outcomes
could
have
been
avoided.
So
I
want
bellevue
to
be
one
of
the
leaders
on
this.
So
yes,
that's
a
good
summary.
E
Thank
you
for
your
comment.
Thank
you
and
maureen
f.
If
you
would
please
go
ahead
with
your
question.
L
My
question
is
regard
to
data
collection,
so
there
have
been
a
few
comments
on
policy
policy,
questions
and
ideas
about
policies,
but
it's
a
little
difficult
on
the
bellevue
website
to
see
if
there's
any
information
about
race
of
people
that
have
been
pulled
over
or
arrested
or
really
any
information
about
what
the
police
actions
were.
L
So
I
I'm
able
to
locate
information
about
the
numbers
and
types
of
crimes
that
have
been
committed,
but
it's
perhaps
the
information
is
out
there,
but
it's
not
very
easy
to
see,
and
so
I'm
just
wondering
what
data
will
the
people
that
are
in
position
to
make
decisions
be
using
and
is
that
information
going
to
be
made
available
to
everybody.
E
Okay
and
again,
thank
you
for
your
question
and
just
paraphrasing
back
to
you
you're
looking
for
outward-facing
data
as
it
relates
to
stops
and
arrests
and
contact
with
the
police
department
correct.
Thank
you.
M
Hi,
thank
you.
I'm
a
social
worker
in
bellevue.
I
grew
up
in
bellevue
really.
My
whole
life
has
revolved
around
bellevue
and
it's
really
dear
to
my
heart
and
I'm
a
social
worker,
and
I
have
experienced
a
lot
of
difficulty
out
in
the
field
that
police
don't
give
me
the
chance
to
de-escalate
a
situation
which
I've
been
trained
in
before
use
of
force
comes
up
by
them,
and
so
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
could.
M
I
don't
know
why
that's
the
case,
and
I
would
just
really
appreciate
if
you
know
we
could
be
more
collaborative
social
workers
and
mental
health,
mental
health
professionals
and
police
and
just
do
a
better
job
of
you
know.
I
I
really
appreciate
their
support,
but
sometimes
I
do
believe
that
I
could
de-escalate
a
situation
without
police
force.
E
And
just
to
clarify
and
pull
a
little
more
information,
were
you
working
in
in
conjunction
with
the
police,
or
were
you
just
passing
through
the
area,
or
are
you
talking
programmatically
building
programs
that
include
social
workers,
mental
health
professionals
in
police
response.
M
I
work
with
police
pretty
frequently
from
all
different
cities.
I
just
I
would
just
love
that
communication
to
continue,
and
I
think
sometimes
in
direct
service
workers,
aren't
listened
to
the
same
way
in
the
field,
and
I
just
would
really.
M
E
Okay,
thank
you
for
your
comment
and
what
I'm
hearing
from
you
is
you're.
Looking
for
an
opportunity
to
do
some
additional
collaboration
with
bellevue
police
department,
specifically
since
we're
having
that
conversation
about
bellevue
and
how
to
build
from
there.
N
Hi,
thank
you
for
giving
the
community
the
opportunity
to
speak
this
evening.
N
I
myself
am
a
white
man
and
I
can
say
that
my
experiences
with
bellevue
police
department
have
always
been
positive
when
I've
had
interactions
with
them.
This
is
perhaps
maybe
only
tangentially
related,
but
I
do
hope
it
still
falls
under
consideration
by
the
ibpd
as
as
bellevue
is
hiring
new
officers
and,
as
I
understand
that
bellevue
police
department
has
historically
used
enticing
bonuses
and
offers
to
hire
officers
from
other
jurisdictions,
which
I
can
certainly
understand.
N
N
N
I
would
want
the
I
would
want
people
to
be
cognizant
of
those
officers
uses
of
force
both
this
past
summer
and
previously,
and
making
sure
that
appropriate
vetting
is
done
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
they
followed
proper
use
of
force
protocols
in
their
previous
jurisdictions.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you
for
your
comment
and
again
we'll
make
sure
that
that's
included
in
in
our
conversation
and
for
those
folks
who
are
just
joining
us
or
who've
come
on
since
we
started
this.
We
are
talking
about
use
of
force
policies
and
like
to
get
community
feedback
about
your
experience,
and
your
impressions
about
use
of
force
in
the
city
of
bellevue
by
the
bellevue
police
department
feel
free
to
raise
your
hand,
others
there's
a
process
or
an
icon
at
the
bottom
of
your
screen.
D
And
perry,
I
will
I'm
going
to
jump
in
and
maybe
ask
a
specific
question
here
to
see
if
we
can
get
some
more
more
folks
talking.
What
I'm
seeing
a
lot
of
in
the
chat
is
a
is
a
question
about
you
know:
how
can
they
learn?
How
can
people
learn
more
about
what
is
happening
with
respect
to
the
data?
D
We've
heard
some
people
wanting
to
hear
more
about
specific
incidents
that
they
maybe
have
seen
a
video
of,
or
you
know,
even
witness
themselves
from
the
one
comment
we
got
and
so
there's
a
sense
of
people,
maybe
wanting
to
know
more
about
the
police
department
and
to
engage
more,
and
so
I
guess
I
would
just
ask
this
question
for
those
of
you
here
tonight
and
participating
what
are
the
best
ways
for
the
police
department
to
connect
with
the
community
and
to
give
the
kind
of
answers
and
feedback
that
we
hear
people
are
looking
for
tonight.
D
G
Sure
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
frequently
or
I
shouldn't
say
frequently,
but
I
do
log
on
to
some
of
the
city
council
meetings
to
listen
in
to
find
out
what's
going
on
in
the
community,
and
you
know,
I
feel
that
if
I
was
aware
that
chief
milan
would
be
chiming
in
on
some
of
the
changes
that
are
going
on
with
the
with
the
bellevue
police
department,
I
would
definitely
participate
in,
and
I
think
that
would
be
a
great
way
to
hear
from
at
least
you
know
the
bellevue
police
department
that's
one
way,
and
then
of
course,
naturally
I
told
chief
milette,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
that
I
would
I
I've
started
trying
to
engage
bellevue
police
officers
being
an
african-american
male
here
in
bellevue.
G
D
Right,
thank
you
for
that
comment.
So
yes,
certainly
when
the
chief
is
at
a
city
council
meeting,
that
is
a
great
way
to
reach
him.
O
Yeah,
okay,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can
okay,
great
yeah.
I
thought
this
is
a
very
good
discussion
and
I
I
believe
that
you
know
a
lot
of
good
suggestions
are
been
made.
One
thing
I
would
like
to
follow
up
with
you
know:
maya
m:
maybe
we
should
have
some
kind
of
an
advisory
committee.
O
We
could
for
the
engagement
of
a
whole
variety
of
professionals
residents.
You
know
we
got
to
have
some
type
of
diversity
for
them
to
participate
in
decision
making
and
also
in
follow-up
in
some
kind
of
a
crisis.
You
know
management
that
kind
of
thing.
So
that's
my
one
cent
suggestion.
D
I
think
that's
more
than
one
cent,
mr
wang
and-
and
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
cities
that
have
chiefs
advisory
boards.
Different
sorts
of
there
are
many
different
forms
of
oversight
and
and
different
kinds
of
ways
for
community
members
to
get
involved
in
sort
of
oversight
panels
advisory
panels.
There
are
lots
of
different
models,
and
that's
certainly
something
that
if
the
if
bellevue
is
interested
in
and
and
wants
to
push
for,
that
is,
that
would
be
one
way
to
engage
with
the
police
department
for
sure.
E
And
again,
this
is
a
process
and
your
voice
and
your
input
is
absolutely
critical
on
how
the
city
will
move
forward.
Please
raise
your
hands,
give
us
give
us
your
feedback
and
give
us
your
input
on
this
process,
particularly
particularly
julie's
question
about
how
best
for
the
police
department
to
reach
out
and
communicate
with.
D
D
I've
seen
some
comments
in
the
chat
about
school
resource
officers
and
interactions
at
the
school
that
maybe
did
not
go
as
people
might
have
expected,
or
most
wanted
them
to
go.
So
if
people
have
comments
about
the
role
of
police
officers
in
the
schools
in
bellevue
now
would
be
a
a
good
time
to
talk
about
that
as
well.
P
Yes,
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
voiced
that
I
want
the
sros
out
of
bellevue
schools.
I
have
my
children
in
high
school
and
middle
school
respectively
and
yeah.
I'm
I'm
very
concerned
about
just
some
of
the
the
experiences
I've
been
reading
about
of
police
in
schools,
and
so
I
would
want
them
to
be
removed.
I
I
successfully
got
my
boys
out
of
high
school
and
college,
so
I
don't
have
children
in
the
system,
but
when
there
was
some
burglaries
in
lake
hills,
I
was
talking
to
some
officers
and
what
I
was
told
was
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna
talk
to
the
kids
that
we're
going
to
data
mine
them
and,
I
said,
excuse
me
and
he's
like
well,
we
just
call
him
into
a
room
and
and
talk
to
him
about
what
they
know
is
going
on
in
the
neighborhood,
and
I
said
our
are:
are
parents
involved
in
this
discussion
that
their
kids
are
being
interviewed
by
officers
one
on
one
or
one
on
none
and
he
goes
no
we're
just
gathering
information.
I
I'm
not
totally
sure
it
should
be
a
police
officer
and
it
shouldn't
believe
it
shouldn't
be
a
police
officer
that
believes
the
children
are
there
to
rat
on
things
going
on
in
their
neighborhoods.
So
I
mean
it's
not
use
of
force,
but
our
schools
are
very
important
to
me
and
we
need
to
create
positive
relationships
and
and
anytime
a
minor
is
talking
to
an
official
person.
D
Thank
you
for
the
for
those
comments,
steve
and
I
I
we've
done
a
lot
of
work
in
different
parts
of
the
country
that
touch
on
the
work
of
school
resource
officers,
and
one
thing
I
can
say
with
certainty
is
that
has
been
consistent.
Is
that
it
people's
view
on
the
on
the
issue
of
whether
they
should
whether
officers
should
be
in
school
is
very
much
dependent
on
on
the
mindset
and
the
abilities
and
and
the
of
a
particular
school
resource
officer.
D
Some
are
some
seem
to
be
very
well
suited
to
have
the
right
mindset
about,
as
you
said,
being
there
to
assist
and
help
the
kids,
and
so
it's
certainly
a
a
subject
that
a
lot
of
people
have
very
strongly
held
feelings
about.
I
L
C
You
thank
you.
I
just
had
a
follow-up
julie
to
to
your
point,
and
this
is
a
question
for
the
group.
If,
if
the
group
is
interested
with
regard
to
school
resources
and
and
policing
in
the
schools,
if
it's
going
to
to
continue,
should
there
be
should
the
use
of
force
policies
be
calibrated
appropriately
or
differently,
because
the
officers
are
dealing
with
students
in
a
school
environment
as
opposed
to
what
they
might
expect
on
patrol
that
that
would
be
one
of
the
questions
I
would
want
to
see
if
anyone
had
an
opinion
about.
Q
Yeah,
my
name's,
actually,
sarah,
I'm
the
daughter
of
jill,
but
I'm
a
former
student
of
the
bellevue
school
district,
and
my
comment
on
just
police
in
schools
generally
is
based
on
my
own
understanding
of
mandatory
reporting
and
the
role
of
police
officers,
just
in
the
position
that
they
hold
and
the
responsibilities
of
police
officers.
Q
Generally,
I
would
say
it's
extremely
unfair
to
be
expecting
students
to
understand
what
the
role
of
a
police
officer
is
in
terms
of
what
they
can
and
cannot
share,
as
opposed
to
sharing
that
with
another
school
employee
per
se,
a
counselor
or
another
person
who
is
not
required
to
disclose
certain
information.
Q
So
I
think
it's
it's
pretty
unsafe,
in
my
opinion,
to
have
police
officers
in
schools
and
it
places
students
at
risk,
especially
when
I
would
say
the
majority
of
students
are
not
informed
on
what
it
really
means
to
be
sharing
information
with
police
officers,
especially
when
it's
in
a
context
that
can
be
so
casual
in
a
school.
Those
offhand
comments
and
casual
conversation
often
lead
students
to
disclose
information
that
could
put
them
in
jeopardy
and
they
just
won't
be
aware
of
that.
So
that
would
be
my
comment.
E
E
We
still
have
a
little
time
left
and-
and
we
certainly
would
like
to
hear
from
as
many
people
as
possible-
we're
talking
about
bellevue
use
of
force.
Gary.
R
Hi
brenda's
fine.
R
Well,
I
grew
up
in
bellevue,
I'm
now
in
redmond,
and
I
actually
have
been
really
trying
to
research
a
little
bit
on
the
use
of
body
cams
and
dash
cams
among
police
departments
and
was
very
interested
to
see
that
that
we
don't
have
them
in
redmond,
and
I
don't
believe
you
guys
have
them
in
bellevue,
and
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
conflicting
research
on
their
effectiveness
and
there's
also
a
lot
of
different
opinions
on
the
benefits
of
them,
like
benefits
for
police
officers
as
well
as
benefits
for
citizens,
and
I
just
wondered
when
you
ask
how
to
how
people
could
be
involved
or
how
people
can
you
know
know
what's
going
on,
it
would
probably
help
if
there
was
real
transparency
about
how,
where
these
discussions
are
taking
place
who's
involved.
R
Is
there
a
a
group
of
citizens
involved
in
presenting
their
perspectives
on
this
and
and
then
really
just?
Have
it
right
up
front
on
the
website?
I
mean
even
to
the
point
of
having
a
town
hall
on
it.
I
know
town
halls
could
be
like
the
wild
west.
Sometimes
and
there's
not
always.
You
know
time
for
everybody
to
speak,
but
at
the
same
time
I
feel
as
though
just
having
those
portals
into
input,
I've
found
have
been
really
effective,
and
so
just
some
suggestions
about
that.
R
E
I'd
like
to
kind
of
reflect
this
question
right
back
to
you
and
ask
you
your
opinion
about
body
cameras
and
their
use
and
whether
or
not
they
should
or
should
be
deployed
in
bellevue.
R
Well,
you
know
I
without
having
done
very
much
research.
I
was
a
bit.
I
am
a
big
fan
of
them
for
several
reasons
I
mentioned,
I
feel
as
though
they
not
only
protect
people,
but
they
protect
officers
and
officers
need
to
be
protected
as
well.
What
I
feel
the
weaknesses
are,
is
people
saying
well,
they
could
just
turn
them
off.
So
there's
a
lot
of
operational
training
requirements
and
and
procedures
and
policies
that
need
to
kind
of
be
forethought
of,
and
some
of
this
you
know
is
very
technical.
R
Some
of
it
is
more
like
well.
What
does
the
community
think
about
it?
You
know
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
you
know.
Transparency
is
great
if
you
have
a
camera
on
your
shoulder
and
and
what's
happening
in
an
encounter
is
being
filmed
and
and
nothing
evolves
out
of
that
encounter
or
or
is
wrong
in
that
situation
in
terms
of
citations
or
anything,
and
that
film
is
then
deleted.
You
know
so
that,
because
it's
not
a
value
anymore,
I
mean
I
can
see
where
privacy
and
stuff
can
be
mitigated
by
procedures.
R
So
my
view
is
that,
with
with
a
lot
of
the
violence,
that's
gone
on,
especially
against
people
of
color.
I
just
I
feel
as
though
we
need
the
guarantee
of
of
actual
witness
to
what's
happening
in
the
form
of
a
camera
or
a
film.
You
know
civilians
film.
For
that
very
reason,
and
so
you
know
I
I
feel
as
though
there
really
shouldn't
be
any
reason
why
an
officer
or
department
wouldn't
want
to
have
that
safeguard.
E
E
And
again,
as
advertised
this
as
an
opportunity
for
the
community
to
provide
its
questions
and
or
its
opinions
about
use
of
force
within
the
city
of
bellevue,
and
so
I
I
do
thank
you
brenda
for
for
your
comments.
Around
body
run
cameras
as
well
as
how
they,
how
they
fold
into
the
use
of
force
policy.
E
Michelle
d
go
ahead.
Please.
S
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
go
back
to
michael's
question,
because
I
was
a
little
shocked,
actually
that
it
was
even
being
asked
to
me.
It's
clearly
obvious
that
there
should
be
different
rules
of
use
of
force
for
sros
on
campuses.
If
that's
not
the
case
for
minors,
I
would
be
shocked.
S
Given
what
we
see
and
what
goes
on
lived
in
bellevue
about
four
years
in
the
I
lived
elsewhere
before
it's
not
a
bellevue
pd
issue,
but
we
see
these
things
on
national
news
too,
and
you
get
officers
in
schools
who
react
to
children
or
adolescents
the
way
they
would
react
to
adults-
and
I
think
I
think
that's
clearly
inappropriate,
and
I
doubt
I'm
the
only
one
who
feels
that
way.
S
I
also
think
really
that
they
should
be
out
of
schools
entirely,
but
even
barring
that
to
me
that
yeah
we
just,
we
cannot
have
any
level
of
law
enforcement,
treating
children
the
same
as
adults
when
there
are
so
many
very
clear
differences
between
the
two
groups.
E
And
again,
your
comment
is
important,
so
I
appreciate
you
speaking
up
and
we're
certainly
recording
your
feedback
and
that
will
fold
into
the
conversation
with
the
city
and
the
pd.
So
thank
you.
Maureen
f
go
ahead.
Please.
L
L
Yeah,
thank
you
so
my
question
again,
I
guess
is
related
to
information
that
I
don't
feel
is
generally
available.
Even
though
embodying
transparency
is
a
stated
goal
that
is
with
regard
to
the
budget,
so
I
it
seems
that
our
budget
is
over.
L
The
police
budget
is
around
100
million
a
year
for
the
city
of
bellevue,
and
I
wonder
where
or
how
details
of
that
budget
can
be
found,
and
I
also
would
you
know
with
regards
to
force
in
particular
I'd
like
to
know
if
our
city,
if
our
police,
receives
any
materials
or
equipment
from
the
department
of
defense.
L
I
know
that
sort
of
gently
related,
but
I
think,
would
be
important
piece
of
information
to
have.
Thank
you.
E
E
D
It
looks
like
monica
webster
in
the
chat
has,
as
requested
the
opportunity
to
speak
so.
T
Yes,
thank
you.
Can
you
all
hear
me?
I'm
not
sure.
Oh
thank
you.
I
I'm
on
my
phone,
so
I
can't
raise
my
hand.
I
apologize
thank
you
for
noticing,
so
I'm
a
community
member
and
long
time,
district
parent
I've
been
in
the
district
for
about
16
years,
really
involved
in
my
community
and
and
around
talks
like
this.
T
So
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
to
speak,
and
I
just
have
a
few
questions
around
the
sr
sro
topic
and
I'm
wondering
if
any
any
of
them
have
been
taken
into
consideration
by
the
bellevue
police
department.
So
so
one
is:
has
any
consideration
been
made
around
diversifying
the
sro
officers
in
the
schools
so
that
they're
more
reflective
of
the
populations
that
they're
serving?
T
So
that's
my
first
question,
the
second
one
is:
are
sor
officers,
history
or
their
jackets
being
taken
into
consider
consideration,
meaning
you
know
what
kind
of
warning
citations
or
previous
incidents
have
they
been
involved
in
in
the
past,
and
is
that
information
being
provided
to
our
school
district
prior
to
them
being
given
the
opportunity
to
work
with
our
kids?
That
was
something
that
I
really
would
like
to.
T
Actually
have
access
to
and
kind
of
know,
and-
and
my
last
question
is
you
know:
do
the
officers
have
any
official
training
in
working
with
youth
and
adolescents?
You
know
because
I
think
that's
a
very
unique
population
and
not
all
people
can
work
with
kids.
I
my
my
job
at
the
seattle.
Indian
health
board
is
around
youth
prevention
and,
and
so
I
manage
a
program
and
and
it's
not
for
all
adults,
and
so
I'm
just
curious
as
to
the
level
of
training
that
the
officers
are
provided
in
working
with
adolescents.
E
And
and
again,
with
respect
to
your
question
that
your
comments
and
your
questions
are
being
incorporated
in
into
this
discussion
and
ultimately
discussion,
this
discussion
will
in
fact
fold
into
a
conversation
around
bellevue's
use
of
forest
policies.
E
We
probably
have
time
for
one
more
question,
but
one
two
more
questions.
So
again.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
to
as
many
folks
as
possible
go
ahead
and
shoot
your
hand
up
or
if
you're,
on
the
phone
flag
us.
So
we
know
we
know
you're
there,
and
so
we
can
get
you
on
get
your.
E
D
The
the
purpose
of
this
session
was
explicitly
to
be
a
listening
session
for
us
and
for
city
leaders
to
hear
from
people
about
their
experiences
with
bellevue
police
and
the
use
of
force,
and
then
for
us
to
take
that
and
look
at
how
those
experiences
can
translate
into
reform
of
specific
policies.
D
D
But
certainly
this
concern
about
maybe
wanting
to
know
more
and
wanting
to
learn
more
is
is
something
that
is
good
feedback
for
us
just
from
the
get-go
and
and
I'm
sorry,
if
there's
some
frustration
about
that.
But
but
it
is
helpful
for
us
to
know
that
that
there's
a
there's
a
desire
in
the
community
to
learn
more
about
these
events.
And
so
we
appreciate
that.
C
Julie,
I
I
know
you're
about
to
ready
to
go
to
next
steps
which
I
think
is
now
being
asked
in
the
chat.
But
I
think
the
other
piece
that
that
I
was
gaining
from
reviewing
the
chat.
C
Was
this
concept
or
concern
that
the
use
of
force
has
applied
in
bellevue
and
maybe
not
unique
to
bellevue
was
impacting
persons
differently,
depending
on
whether
they
are
people
of
color
versus
people
who
are
are
caucasian.
So
I
just
wanted
to
just
wanted
to
reflect
that
that
we're
seeing
that
in
the
chat
and
that
that
is
something
that
we'll
be
obviously
incorporating
as
part
of
our
as
part
of
our
review.
D
Okay,
there,
there
are
some
ways
that
you
can
give
some
direct
feedback
to
the
police
department.
I
think
we're
gonna
put
a
link
in
the
chat
there
for
there's
a
community
feedback
form
on
the
bellevue
police
department's
web
page.
D
That
is
a
way
for
you
to
directly
communicate
with
the
police
department
and-
and
I
know
that
we
are
going
to
be
preparing
a
report
based
on
our
review
of
use
of
force
policies
within
the
police
department
and
certainly
taking
all
of
the
feedback
that
we've
gotten
tonight
and
and
using
that
and
relaying
that
back
to
the
city
and
tying
those
these
comments
into
that
review.
D
So
we
appreciate
all
of
you
who
spoke
up
or
participated
in
the
chat,
and
we
appreciate
all
of
you
who
were
just
here
to
listen
and
to
learn
more
because
that
level
of
engagement
with
your
community
is
a
positive
thing.
And
so
we
appreciate
that
I
am
going
to
turn
it
back
over
to
kevin
henry
for
meeting,
wrap
up
and
closing
things
out
so
kevin.
Take
it
away.
A
Okay,
great
thanks
julie,
and
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for
taking
some
time
out
of
everyone's
busy
schedule
to
to
be
here
tonight.
It's
so
important
that
we
have
dialogue,
that's
the
first
step
in
solving
any
kind
of
issue
that
pertains
rather
be,
whether
it
be
personal
or
whether
it
be
related
to
your
children
or
related
to
the
community.
A
So
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for
doing
that
and
I
just
wanted
to
go
over
a
few
things
just
so
that
you
can
stay
in
touch
with
the
city
and
get
more
questions
answered,
find
out
about
what
the
city
is
doing
in
general
in
terms
of
its
community
programs,
especially
as
it
relates
to
diversity
and
inclusion
and
equity
in
bellevue.
A
This
is
the
first
session
we
have
two
more
sessions
coming
up
listening
sessions
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
anyone
who
was
not
able
to
provide
their
comments
directly
or
through
the
chat-
if
you
wish
to
provide
additional
comments,
you
can
do
that
by
visiting
the
engaging
bellevue
website
and
they
have
inserted
a
link
in
the
chat
for
that,
and
you
can
also
send
an
email
to
the
council
pledge
bellevue.gov
email
address
as
well.
A
The
information
gathered
from
this
and
other
listening
sessions,
comments
on
the
engaging
bellevue
webpage
or
any
other
comments
received
via
email
will
be
used
by
the
oir
to
prepare
a
report
to
be
presented
to
the
city
council
in
a
timely
manner.
So
once
again,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
spending
your
evening
a
few
hours
of
your
evening
here
tonight.
We
hope
to
see
you
again
have
a
safe
and
good.
