Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
I
think
we
started
off
having
a
you,
know
more
briefings
and
conversations
about
how
do
we
keep
you
all
better
informed
about
what
we're
doing
today
we're
going
to
focus
on
one
conversation
which
brought
us
here
to
the
school
on
an
initiative
which
will
help
explain
the
mayor
will
help
explain
it
a
little
bit
further,
but
it's
about
a
violence
reduction
Workshop,
a
meeting
that
we
just
had
today
where
the
city
came
together
with
many
non-profit
faith-based
leaders,
so
many
different
leaders
in
the
city
to
talk
about
a
way
or
to
reduce
violence
in
Boston.
A
The
police
department
has
a
long
history
of
being
involved
in
and
at
least
trying
to
lead
the
way
around
Public,
Safety
and
violence
reduction
and
I.
Don't
know
how
successful
that's
always
been
and
I
think
today's
Workshop
is
really
about.
Are
we
doing
everything
in
our
power
to
evolve
and
how
do
we
address
the
issues
that
drive
violence
in
general
and
one
of
the
things
we
know
is
that
you
know
police
aren't
the
answer.
We
can't
do
it
in
that
way,
and
so
the
mayor
is
good
enough
to
to
bring
together.
A
You
know
all
of
us
under
the
leadership
of
Dr
app,
and
so
we
can
talk
about
in
the
workshop.
It's
going
to
be
for
several
days
talk
about
ways
in
which
we
can
work
to
partner
and
address
all
the
issues
that
drive
violence,
that
created
it
or
or
conditions
that
created
in
the
communities
that
we
serve
here
and
so
I'm
going
to
bring
the
mirror
up
and
in
a
moment,
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
it.
A
But
that's
been
really
the
focus
of
our
meeting
here
today
and
I'm,
looking
forward
to
the
opportunity
to
certainly
partner
with
everyone
in
the
city
to
do
all
we
can
to
reduce
gun
violence
and
do
all
we
can
to
evolve
as
a
police
department,
because,
regardless
of
what
we
may
think,
you
know,
we
are
in
a
different
era
in
some
way,
shape
or
form.
We
had
the
Boston
Miracle
about
quite
a
long
time
ago,
but
the
reality
is
coming
off
the
post
pandemic.
A
Are
we
living
in
a
little
different
world
today,
and
so
we
need
to
do
all
we
can
to
partner
with
the
everyone
who
all
the
stakeholders
in
the
city
to
make
sure
that
we
respond
appropriately
for
today's
issues
and
problems
to
resolve
them,
so
I'm
going
to
bring
the
mayor
up
and
she
can
collaborate
a
little
bit
more.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Can
everyone
hear
okay,
it's
the
only
echoey,
okay
and
I
want
to
invite
up
the
rep
and
any
other
elected
officials
who
might
be
in
the
room
who
wish
to
join
us.
B
First
and
foremost,
I
want
to
thank
Mr
Jackson
and
all
the
team
at
the
Tobin
for
hosting
us
here
today
for
this
Workshop,
but
also
for
for
being
a
home
for
so
many
of
our
young
people
in
life-changing
ways.
Many
of
the
Tobin
kids
who
came
up
through
these
these
spaces
through
this
gym
through
the
the
loving
spaces
all
throughout
this
building,
are
now
serving
in
City.
Leadership
are
running,
bcyf
and
and
other
posts,
and
so
we're
so
grateful
know
the
life-changing
work
that
happens
in
this
space.
B
So
this
is
part
of
his
regular
press
briefing
that
we're
all
kind
of
hopping
on
to
and
thankful
to
him
for
taking
part
in
the
workshop
and
therefore
you
all
coming
to
meet
us
where
we
already
were
today
at
this
oh
and
invite
up
Chief,
maso
here
as
well,
so
I
I'm
here
mostly
to
thank
and
introduce
the
other
leaders
who
are
going
to
say
a
little
bit
of
what
we're
doing
today
and
over
the
next
couple
days.
Chief
long
come
on
up
as
well.
B
B
Boston,
as
we
all
know,
is
a
national
model
for
Community
safety,
for
violence,
prevention
and
Interruption,
and
we
continue
to
have
our
own
homegrown
expertise,
Community
organizations,
leaders
who
are
standing
with
us
here
and
and
taking
part
in
this
regularly
going
all
across
the
country
to
share
how
to
do
it
right
and
how
to
engage
community
and
how
to
make
sure
that
we
are
getting
to
the
root
of
challenges.
B
We
will
be
here,
we
will
be
doing
the
work
and
we
will
stay
committed
to
that
work,
and
so
we
had
a
couple
sessions
already
this
morning.
Just
about
some
of
the
data
and
numbers
where
Boston
is
today
about
the
specific
Trends
and
information
that
we
have
been
seeing
and
about
the
work
that
has
been
happening
from
the
Boston
Police
Department,
the
public
health
agency
and
all
of
the
Community
Partners
who
are
in
the
room.
B
B
We
were
partnering
with
some
community
members
on
this,
so
in
addition
to
our
senior
advisor
for
Community
safety,
Isaac
Diablo,
Jimmy
Hills
is
taking
the
lead
on
community
side
and
really
making
sure
we're
engaging
all
of
our
residents,
and
especially
those
who
have
been
doing
this
for
a
long
time
and
and
centered
in
the
the
leadership
that
we
see
from
community,
and
so
that
will
kick
off
in
the
next
little
bit
and
come
on
up
to
me
too.
B
We'll
invite
him
to
share
a
few
words
on
that
as
well
and
then
before
I
pass
it
on.
Not
everyone
up
here
is
going
to
chime
in
proactively,
but
are
all
up
here
for
questions
and
to
be
responsive,
so
I
do
want
to
introduce
again
our
chief
of
Human
Services,
Jose
maso
senior
advice
for
Community
safety,
Isaac
Diablo,
our
district
attorney
Kevin
Hayden,
chaplain,
Clementina
Sherry
for
from
the
Lewis
D
Brown
peace
Institute.
Who
will
speak
shortly?
B
You
know
the
commissioner
Reverend
Jeffrey
Brown,
who
is
a
national
leader
and
helped
really
catalyze
and
ground
Us
in
the
foundation
of
this
work
from
the
historic
12th,
Baptist
Church,
who
you'll
also
hear
from
shortly
superintendent
Mary
Skipper.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
State
representative
Chris,
Worrell
superintendent,
Chief,
Greg
Long
and
the
Java
with
Jimmy
Jimmy
Hills,
so
I'll
pass
it
on
to
Reverend
Brown
now
to
say
a
few
words.
C
Good
afternoon,
everyone
I'm
Reverend
Jeffrey
Brown
I'm,
associate
pastor
of
the
historic
12th
Baptist
Church
in
Boston,
where
senior
pastors
the
Reverend
Willie
bodrick,
II
and
I've,
been
here
as
a
part
of
this
convening
of
not
only
academics,
stakeholders
but
also
practitioners
from
all
stripes
in
the
city
that
have
been
dedicating
their
lives
to
seeing
a
safer
City
and
reducing
violence
in
our
communities,
and
it
was,
in
my
opinion,
a
very
good
session.
C
But
there
was
something
different
about
this
one,
because
there
are
folks
who
are
hopeful,
because
this
Administration
is
one
that
has
been
really
responsive
to
the
needs
of
the
community.
And
so
there's
hope
that
in
this
iteration
that
we'll
be
able
to
see
something
that
we
haven't
seen
before.
And
that
is
the
end
of
the
era
of
violence
in
our
communities.
C
I
know
that
my
friend
Tina
Cherry,
who
has
been
at
this
for
as
long
as
I,
have
will
will
speak,
but
there
is
something
that
she
says
that
always
moves
me,
and
that
is
there's
a
difference
between
the
systems.
Peace
and
God's
peace
and
with
the
people
in
the
community
are
looking
for
is
God's
peace,
which
is
a
true
peace
in
which
folks
will
be
able
to
live
and
raise
their
children
and
build
their
lives
free
of
violence.
C
We
have
an
Administration
that
is
committed
to
doing
that
to
improving
lives
for
everyone
in
the
city,
because
if
there
are
a
few
that
are
still
suffering,
then
the
city
itself
suffers,
and
she
believes
that
by
pulling
all
of
this
together,
that
we'll
have
hope
in
order
to
make
that
happen,
and
we
have
come
together
and
I'm
grateful
to
Tom
apt
and
his
group
at
the
University
of
Maryland
I.
C
Remember
him
from
the
Obama
Administration
with
the
violence
prevention
Network
that
we
put
together
at
the
Department
of
Justice
We've
we've
got
the
we've
got
the
learning
and
we
also
have
the
burning
to
make
sure
that
we
can
bring
peace
to
the
city
of
Boston,
we're
in
the
Vanguard
in
terms
of
violence
prevention
in
the
country.
But
if
people
still
measure
violence
from
their
front
porches
or
their
back
Stoops,
then
we
still
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
so.
C
B
So
why
don't
I
don't
name
the
order,
so
I
don't
have
to
keep
coming
back
up
here.
I'll
invite
up
chaplain
Cherry,
then
James
Hills,
then
our
district
attorney
superintendent
and
then
we'll
hand
up
state
representative,
then
we'll
hand
it
back
to
the
commissioner
to
get
to
all
of
the
the
other
stuff
that
was
on
his
press
conference
agenda
that
we
have
taken
over.
D
D
D
It's
a
struggle
also
to
be
here
so
I'm
in
my
humanity
and
in
my
spirituality,
because
I've
been
down
this
road
before
late
Mayor,
Menino,
Administration,
Walsh,
Administration,
Janie,
Administration,
and
now
the
wool
each
Administration
has
its
own.
The
difference
with
this
Administration,
our
mayor,
who
clearly
says
I,
don't
have
the
answers.
D
D
I've
said
this
to
her
privately
and
I
will
say
it
publicly.
We
can't
blame
her
for
the
mess
in
our
city.
He
inherited
this
mess
and
within
our
community
we
are
doing
what
we
can
do
to
make
sure
that
we
transfer
how
we
are
viewed
as
Community,
where
bad
things
happen
to
communities
where
good
things
happen.
D
30
years
since
my
son
was
killed
on
the
streets
of
Boston,
Roxbury,
Dorchester
and
Mattapan
are
the
same
hot
spots.
The
victim
were
not
even
born
and
those
that
are
causing
the
harm
were
not
even
born
what
this
mayor
is
doing
and
what
this
Administration
is
doing
is
including
communities
making
sure
that
their
support
for
the
families
that
are
impacted
on
both
sides.
D
My
counterpart
Ruth
Rollins
of
We
Are
Better
Together,
is
doing
exactly
that.
Making
sure
that
the
families
of
those
who
are
incarcerated
and
coming
back,
that
the
families
can
begin
to
heal
peace
and
healing,
are
Central
to
what
we
are
doing.
When
a
homicide
happens,
because
our
partnership
with
the
city
of
Boston
and
the
hospitals
and
the
Boston
Neighborhood
trauma
team
under
the
leadership
of
Stephanie
Boston,
our
survivors,
Outreach
Services
manager.
D
They
make
sure
that,
within
that
first
24
to
72
hours
that
family
is
connected
to
us,
so
they
can
begin
to
bury
their
loved
one
with
dignity
and
compassion,
regardless
of
the
circumstances.
While
we're
looking
at
intervention,
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
families
are
Central
because
gun
violence
is
still
happening.
D
While
our
numbers
are
low,
what
I
am
here
and
want
to
make
sure
that,
when
you
guys
report
that
the
numbers
are
low
and
we
celebrate
that,
but
for
each
victim,
that
number
of
survivors
has
just
risen,
so
the
survivors
Community
continues
to
rise
as
we
go
on
so
I
want
to.
Thank
you
again.
I've
said
it
to
you
guys.
You
have
got
my
commitment.
I
want
to
end.
D
D
That's
where
we
started
with
this
work
with
the
Boston
Public
School
teaching,
peace
through
literature
and
Community
Service
Learning,
the
first
curriculum
in
the
country
that
included
the
teaching
of
loss
and
grief
as
part
of
our
children's
social
skills.
Now
they
call
it
social,
emotional
learning,
so
at.
D
E
E
What
we're
about
to
just
mention
very
quick
and
I
am
not
up
here
by
myself
and
the
two
Community
Partners
that
have
worked
with
me.
I
must
name
them
that
is
Darnell
Singleton
of
DS
Consulting
and
also
romilda
Pierre
of
project
turnaround.
Since
October
we've
been
meeting
with
some
City
officials
and
talking-
and
out
of
that,
has
come
something
that
is
coming
to
the
community
called
the
healing
tour.
E
It
will
consist
of
phases
and
we
will
go
into
communities
through
a
collaboration
with
the
numbers
from
the
police
department
also,
definitely
with
Dr
Diablo
and
the
neighborhood
trauma
team
and
according
to
data,
we'll
go
into
four
neighborhoods
three
times
and
meet
with
the
community.
The
ultimate
goal
of
the
healing
tour-
and
it
was
named
in
our
workshop
and
data
downstairs-
is
that
we
bring
the
ownership
of
the
improved
quality
of
life
back
into
Community,
but
supported
by
the
city.
E
So
it
will
be
citizen-led
but
supported
by
the
city,
and
we
are
working
out
the
Kinks.
Our
mayor
has
done
real
well
at
attempting
to
dismantle
and
and
work
around
systems
and
structures,
and
it
is
imperative
and
I,
don't
know
if
any
of
our
Council
folks
are
here,
but
it
is
imperative
that
somehow
we
figure
out
a
way
to
allow
the
administration
to
do
what
it
is
that
they
need
to
do
without
systems
and
structures
that
somewhat
this
accountability.
E
But
we
also
need
the
flexibility
when
you
have
an
Administration
that
wants
to,
but
is
then
limited
by,
what's
in
City,
Charter
and
rfps
and
all
that
other
stuff,
and
so
it
is
important
that
we
continue
with
this
work
the
next
couple
of
days,
but
then
out
of
that,
the
healing
tour
is
a
part
of
a
multi-faceted
approach
that
Community
needs
to
own
and
lead.
The
city
supports,
along
with
the
other
initiatives
that
Dr
yablo
Human
Services,
who
else
is
up
here?
E
Boston
Public,
School,
schools
and
BPD
are
working
on
and
so
listen
out
for
the
healing
tour.
The
dates
are
coming,
we're
going
to
different
locations
in
the
city
and
the
purpose.
Let
me
be
clear:
the
purpose
of
the
healing
tour-
yes,
we'll
name
the
issues
and
we'll
name
our
trauma
and
what
we're
dealing
with,
but
we
want
to
get
back
to
the
village
and
the
city
has
demonstrated
with
where
they
can,
with
the
systems
and
structures
that
need
to
be
dismantled
there.
Their
commitment
to
supporting
that,
and
so
we
really
appreciate
it
and
mayor
I.
E
Thank
you
for
being
like
Reverend
Sherry,
been
through
a
few
administrations,
and
this
has
been
one
without
disregarding
the
work
and
commitment
of
the
others.
This
present
one
has
been
the
one
that
has
demonstrated
sort
of
a
yes
I,
don't
know
but
come
on,
and
let
me
know
with
working
within
the
structures
that
confine
you
so
city,
council
and
others,
and
has
to
go
upon
petition
and
all
of
that
give
this
woman
an
Administration,
the
freedom
she
needs
to
do
what
she
needs
to
do.
Thank
you.
F
I
guess
I'm
next
good
good
afternoon,
everybody!
It's
it's
good
to
see
everyone
here.
Today,
it's
been
even
more
encouraging
and
Powerful
to
see
the
group
that
was
with
us
this
morning
talking
about
violence
reduction
in
Boston
and
the
things
that
we
need
to
do
to
continue
to
lay
hold
of
this
problem.
F
You
know,
Boston
has
always
historically
going
way
back
LED
this
entire
nation
when
it
comes
to
intervention
and
prevention
strategies
when
it
comes
to
violence
reduction
when
it
comes
to
addressing
the
crime
that
at
times
can
plague
our
communities,
but
the
strength
of
Boston
is
in
our
communities.
The
strength
of
Boston
is
in
our
communities
and
our
in
our
collaboration
and
our
ability
to
work
together.
F
F
We're
here
for
deliverance,
embossing
Deliverance
is
possible
and
we're
going
to
keep
going
and
keep
striving
and
keep
doing
everything
we
can
until
real
deliverance
from
violent
crime
is
realized
in
our
city,
not
just
parts
of
our
city,
but
every
parts
of
our
city,
the
Blue
Hill
Avenue
Corridor,
where
those
who
are
marginalized
and
diminished
are
safe
as
well.
We
cannot
rest
and
we
will
not
rest
until
this
entire
city
is
safe
from
violent
crime.
Thank
you.
G
Good
afternoon,
we
just
want
to
express
our
appreciation,
Boston
Public
Schools,
to
be
part
of
today.
Thank
you
to
the
mayor
and
to
the
commissioner
and
to
Dr
yablo
for
the
invitation.
I
think
it's
a
very
powerful
conversation
that
we
started
to
engage
in.
You
know,
I
think
it's
symbolic
that
we're
doing
this.
G
A
Thank
you
everyone,
so
the
importance
of
certainly
the
meeting
we
just
talked
about
is
is
you
know,
is
from
a
police
standpoint.
Is
you
know?
A
We
are
part
we
are
practicing
community
policing
and
in
order
for
us
to
be
successful,
we
have
to
partner
with
as
many
people
as
possible
and
get
feedback
from
the
public
on
on
how
we
go
about
doing
their
job
and
in
realizing
what
the
issues
of
that
are
that
exist
today
to
partner
with
as
many
pop
people
as
possible
to
address
those
issues
around
that,
and
you
know,
from
a
law
enforcement
perspective.
A
You
know
we
are
always
here
to
support
what
the
traditional
tools
that
we
have,
but
those
tools
have
never
proven
to
totally
win
out
or
solve
problems
and
issues,
and
so
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
for
bringing
us
together,
as
we
start
to
partner
in
a
very
large
way,
particularly
for
the
upcoming
summer
months
here
to
address.
You
know:
crime
reduction
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
so
we
started
this
off
today
by
talking
about
a
little
a
little
press
conference
about
what
we're
doing
and
I
got
a
little
distracted.
A
Yeah
so
I
guess
next
week
we
will
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
upcoming
Boston
Marathon,
make
sure
that
we
go
through
our
Public
Safety
plan
and
inform
the
public
on
some
of
the
measures
we
have
in
place
to
keep
everyone
safe
for
that
certainly
family-friendly
traditional
event.
I
know
that
this
year
has
a
certain
significance.
Being
the
10-year
anniversary
of
I
mean
the
the
bombing,
but
rest
assured
it.
A
We,
along
with
all
our
federal
and
state
partners,
are
going
to
do
all
we
can
to
keep
people
safe
in
general
and
we'll
go
over
that
a
little
bit
more
next
week.
As
far
as
crime
is
concerned,
our
robbery
attempts
are
up
year-to-date,
177
from
146
and
22..
This
is
largely
due
to
we
had
a
series
of
four
robberies
in
the
city
that
probably
drove
most
of
those
numbers
and
outside
of
this.
A
Maybe
if
you
want
to
do
follow-up,
who
can
explain
what
that
is
we
arrested
recently,
a
royal
Benjamin
of
Cambridge
was
arrested
on
Monday
March
27th
by
the
youth
violence
strike
force
the
warrant
out
of
Roxbury
for
an
armed
robbery,
a
mask.
A
He
had
done
a
few
in
general,
and
this
this
happened
thanks
to
the
incredible
work
that
our
youth,
our
youth,
violence,
Strike
Force,
as
well
as
our
federal
and
state
Partners,
who
work
with
us
to
make
this
arrest.
A
You
know
the
brick
that
we
have
some
banana
an
analyst
and
the
brick
and
they've
done
a
tremendous
job,
doing
analysis
of
some
of
the
robberies
and
things
that
have
happened
in
in
the
area
where,
by
connecting
the
dots,
it
gave
us
the
ability
to
see,
connections
and
patents,
which
ultimately
ended
up
in
us,
making
that
arrest,
I
just
made
reference
to
or
a
little
bit
earlier.
A
As
far
as
homicides
are
concerned,
you
know
we
have
11
homicides
right
now
in
2023,
which
is
six
more
than
we
had
last
year
and
five
for
the
five-year
average.
It
is
nine
above
what
we
normally
have.
We
made
a
rest
so
far
this
year
and
the
homicides
that
have
happened
in
five
arrests
and
looking
forward
to
making
some
other
ones
here
in
the
recent
future.
Coming
up,
that's
about
all
the
prepared
notes!
I,
had
you
know
today's
events,
were
you
know
as
tremendous
as
the
seminar
goes
on?
A
Maybe
we
can
elaborate
a
little
bit
more
about
what
we're
finding
but
I
think
the
the
overall,
the
fact
that
we
came
together
the
fact
that
we're
talking
looking
from
a
perspective
over
a
long
period
of
time
of
data.
You
know
this
this.
This
venue
is
not
just
us
coming
together,
but
we're
also
coming
together
and
looking
at
data
and
being
data
informed
about
some
of
this
stuff
and
making
sure
that
we're
interpreting
the
data
right
and
figuring
out.
A
H
Yeah,
it's
the
opportunity
to
hear
from
all
of
you
and
ask
questions.
We
talk
a
lot
about
transparency
and
evolving
as
a
department
to
homicides
of
the
11.
You
just
mentioned
had
a
difficult
time
getting
information
about
them
and
in
fact
the
public
says
they
had
to
one
was
a
man
who
had
a
throat
slash
in
a
West
End
Department.
The
public
didn't
find
out
until
a
monthly.
Another
was
an
assault
in
Downtown
Crossing,
where
the
public
was
finding
out
from
us,
and
we
still
didn't
know
that
Batman
passed
away
is
what
he
told
them.
A
Yeah
so
I
mean
this
is
helpful
right
now,
as
talking
about
it,
I
can't
speak
to
the
first
incident
because,
unfortunately,
we
do
have
some
incidents
here
and
I'm,
not
that
readily
able
to
talk
about
that
right
now.
Another
incident-
it
just
really
was
about
me
how
it
was
reported
to
us
and
then
how
we
followed
up
on
those
investigations.
It
was
a
little
bit
of
a
time
lag
behind
that
you
know.
A
Homicides
are
those
are
the
most
horrific
crimes
we
have
and
I'd
have
to
say
that
we're
probably
typically
the
most
transparent
about
that
in
general,
where
you
know
we
put
out
the
information
when
we
have
it,
there's
nothing
to
hide
around
that,
and
so,
if
we
do
have
an
issue
around
timeliness,
you
know
I
will
certainly
from
this
point
on
look
into
some
of
the
things
you
just
said
just
to
see
what
it
is
and
maybe
answer
it.
The
next
time
we
come
together
in
a
little
bit
more
informed
way.
H
H
A
A
More
importantly,
we
arrested
the
person
I
think
that
is
the
thing
that
the
public
should
walk
away
with
it,
that
that
person
won't
offend
again
and
then
we
need
to
do
more
in
any
way
possible
to
make
sure
that
it
doesn't
happen
in
in
general.
You
know,
prevention
is
what
we're
here
for
partnering
with
folks
to
make
sure
this
stuff
doesn't
happen
in
the
city.
That's
what
we're
here
for
in
so
many
ways.
A
If
there
was
a
lack
of
transparency,
it
was
probably
something
that
maybe
fell
through
the
crack
and
not
something,
certainly
intentional,
because
our
focus
is
is
always
about
making
sure
if
we
can't
prevent
it,
then
making
sure
that
we
capture
the
person,
so
they
don't
offend
again,
and
it
sounds
like
that.
We
did
that
in
this
case,
so
knowledge
is
important.
It
absolutely
is,
but
again
it's
hard
for
me
to
elaborate
on
something
without
having
the
full
information
around
that.
So
I
will
engage
this
conversation
after
I
get
briefed
a
little
bit
more.
I
I
So
we
understand,
you
know
what
happened.
That's
an
area.
A
Place
well
the
good
things
right
behind
me,
but
the
fact
is,
you
know
all
those
facts
and
circumstances
will
be
bought
out.
You
know,
certainly
if
we
make
an
arrest
and
that
a
trial.
Oh,
do
you
feel
comfortable.
F
Here's
what
I'll
show
you
generally
and
I
think
this
is
what
people
need
to
understand.
We
always
Endeavor
to
be
transparent
in
every
single
case.
F
Anyone
hearing
this
from
knows
you've
seen
both
me
and
the
commissioner
have
seen
time
and
time
again,
but
there
are
times
where
we
have
to
be
very
careful
and
sensitive
to
make
sure
that
what
we
disclose
does
not
jeopardize
the
case.
For
example,
we
made
an
arrest
in
that
case,
where
you
talk
about,
depending
on
how
transparent
we
have
been.
F
How
might
have
been
different?
We
don't
know
we're
always
going
to
do
everything
we
can
to
ensure
Public
Safety
and
to
solve
crimes
and
to
do
the
best
we
can
as
transparently
as
possible,
but
there
are
times
where
the
Integrity
of
Investigations
and
the
sensitivity
of
the
evidence
and
the
information
that
we're
dealing
with
that.
We
can't
always
disclose
that
information,
and
we
have
to
ask
you
both
the
media
and
the
public,
to
understand
that
and
to
understand
that
we
are
always
doing
everything
we
can
to
solve
these
crimes
and
Endeavor
to
solve
them.
F
A
Of
what
happened
so
I
I'll
say
this
about
that.
If
there's
something
that
the
public
needs
to
be
in
danger
of
we're
going
to
tell
you
right
that
this
is
important.
If
there's
a
person
out
there,
who's
victimizing
folks-
and
we
have
a
reason
to
believe
it's-
the
pattern
of
it-
we're
going
to
put
it
out
there
in
general,
because
that
is
our
our
role
and
goal
is
to
make
sure
people
are
safe.
That
is
what
you
should
absolutely
know,
I
I.
Think
sometimes
you
know
people
get
concerned
about.
A
Oh
what
what
should
I
know
when
we
know
information
that
that
the
public
could
actually
be
In,
Harm's
Way.
We
put
that
out
as
soon
as
possible,
and
we
will
talk
about
that
right.
That
is
what
transparency
is
for
us
to
make
sure
the
community
is
safe
around
that
and-
and
that
is
what
we
we
try
to
do
around
that.
A
So
the
D.A
made
reference
to
you
know,
maybe
sometimes,
if
something's
not
put
out
or
not
if
it,
if
that's
the
case,
it's
because
we
don't
believe
that
the
public
is
in
in
Jeopardy
around
that
and
it's
probably
about
part
of
an
investigation,
but
rest
assured
if
something
happens,
and
we
believe
the
public
should
know
immediately,
because
they're
In,
Harm's
Way
We
will
tell
them
immediately
because
I
I
want
to
emphasize
that
you
know.
I
can't
emphasize
that
enough,
because
people
should
know.
A
The
fact
is
is
that
if
we
haven't
told
you
about
it
it
you
know
that
it's
highly
likely
that
it's
not
that
kind
of
thing.
If
we
know
if
we're
aware,
let's
put
it
that
way.
If
we're
aware-
and
so
you
know,
I
just
want
to
answer
the
question
in
that
way.
If
that's
helpful
next
question.
D
D
When
the
reports
came
out,
it's
about
certain
places.
Violence
happens
and
it's
okay,
that
it
happens
in
other
places.
These
things
are
not
supposed
to
happen,
so
I
get
it.
The
public
wants
to
know
about
when
you
report
that
when
you
say
the
community
doesn't
have
to
worry
about
it,
because
it's
an
isolated
issue
or
these
things
are
supposed
to
happen
in
this
community.
When
you
make
that
statement,
you
demonize
you
minimize
the
lives
that
was
taken
and
you
re-traumatized
so
I
think.
Yes,
you
want
to
know
more
and
sometimes
with
wanting
to
know
more.
D
It's
again,
you've
said
without
saying
you've
said
in
this
area:
it's
good
to
be
they're
bad
people
in
this
area,
so
we
have
to
protect
this
area,
Roxbury,
Dorchester
and
Mattapan.
As
long
as
it
stays
in
that
area,
then
we
want
to
report
in
that
so
I
think,
as
we
continue
to
do
this
as
a
mother
whose
child
was
murdered
and
the
person
convicted
of
killing.
My
son
is
the
son
of
a
Boston
police
officer.
We
are
losing
at
both
end
of
that
God.
D
Damn
God,
so
I
I
invite
you
guys
as
you're
reporting
think
about,
because
that
victim
belongs
to
somebody
and
we
don't
know
what
they're
going
through
my
son,
Geneva
Ed.
He
was
walking
to
the
train
station.
What
were
we
told?
These
things
happen
within
the
community?
Unfortunately,
he
was
in
the
wrong
place
at
the
wrong
time.
D
When
you
make
that
statement,
you
have
just
Justified
why
bad
things
happen
in
certain
places
and
then
why
resources
don't
come
to
the
families
impacted
so
I
get
it
I
get
it,
but
let's
just
do
just
a
little
bit
deeper
to
again.
How
do
we
make
sure
the
family
that
family
that
has
just
been
retriggered,
re-traumatized
re-victimized
in
a
city?
That's
called
their
City
to
make
sure
that
they
have
the
resources
that
they
need
in
that
immediate
and
connected
to
the
healing.
The
investigation
will
come
because
we
want
you
to
keep
pressure
on
them.
D
D
Can
we
just
invite
you
to
be
more
aware
of
when
you
report
and
what
information
you
want
to
have
and
how
you're
reporting
commissioner
I
want
to
apologize
for
just
stepping
in,
but
when
I
hear
those
questions,
my
heart,
it
just
breaks
and
the
anger
and
the
frustration
because
we'll
be
victimizing
and
then
we're
saying
who's
worthy
and
who's
not
worthy
and
I
know.
That's
not
your
intention.
So
I'm
going
to
step
back.
J
I'll
be
very
brief
and
I
just
want
to
add
what
the
typical
processes
and
protocol
when
there
is
a
tragedy
in
the
community.
Someone
grows
to
the
West
End
situation.
We
did
have
a
community
meeting
with
everyone
in
the
building
within
72
hours
of
the
event
taking
place
at
the
time.
Captain
Martin
was
a
new
captain
of
the
area,
A1
Precinct
and-
and
we
worked
in
collaboration
with
the
Boston
Police
Department,
with
the
neighborhood
trauma
team
I
was
accompanied
by
Donald
Osgood
who's
serving
as
the
interim
director
of
the
neighborhood
trauma
team.
J
A
Yeah,
so
I
I
think
you
were,
you
know,
participated
for
a
hot
second,
so
there
was
some
data
on
the
Airbound,
youth,
violence
and
I.
Think
what
the
data
said
is
that
youth
activity
in
some
of
the
you
know
driving
the
maybe
some
of
the
homicides
and
things
are
maybe
similar,
but
the
arrests
of
use
youth
with
carrying
firearms
has
gone
up
tremendously.
Almost
100
percent
in
the
last,
my
I
think
maybe
four
or
five
years,
and
so
it
is
concerning
you
know.
A
Clearly
we
need
to
do
some
more
research
on
the
reasons
why
but
I
would
also
say
that
I
would
think
that
the
number
of
guns
in
this
country
is
exponentially
gone
up
in
that
same
period
of
time,
I
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
factors
involved,
of
which
this
is
why
you
know
the
mayor.
You
know
brought
together
such
a
diverse
group
of
people
that
talk
about
some
of
the
drivers
of
this
and
and
that's
exactly
why
