Description
A diverse community of clinicians, government representatives, and public health experts participate in a hack-a-thon to generate innovations that address gun safety, mental health, community resilience, and policy. The Consortium for Affordable Medical Technologies (CAMTech) strives to increase awareness and discover solutions to gun violence through its "co-creation" model.
A
A
I'm
thrilled
to
introduce
our
next
speaker
our
afternoon
keynote
is
here:
mayor,
Marty,
Walsh
personally
I'm
particularly
excited
to
introduce
mayor
Walsh
I
volunteer
for
his
salary
negotiation
initiative
under
the
office
of
women's
advancement
that
he
has
established
and
I'm
just
thrilled.
That
he's
here
to
speak
about
the
city's
efforts
in
gun,
violence
prevention.
So
a
very
quick
bio,
but
born
raised
in
the
neighborhood
of
Dorchester
by
immigrant
parents.
Mayor
Roush
was
driven
to
make
sure
the
city
of
Boston
is
one
that
where
anyone
can
overcome
their
challenges
and
fulfill
their
dreams.
A
B
Thank
You,
Sandra
and
I
first
want
to
just
say:
Joshua
I
was
incredible.
Thank
you
for
sharing
your
story.
I
think
that
anytime,
that
somebody
goes
through
a
traumatic
experience
talking
about
it
publicly.
It
might
be
difficult
for
you,
but
for
the
rest
of
the
room,
it's
incredible
and
there's
somebody
in
this
room.
That
is
probably
needs
to
hear.
You
speak
today
about
what
you
experienced,
and
maybe
they
haven't
themself,
but
somebody
in
their
family
has
so.
B
Thank
you
for
your
courage
in
that,
and
my
only
advice
is
data
time
just
take
a
day
at
a
time,
an
incredible
incredible
story
that
you
told
us.
So
thank
you
for
that.
I
also
want
to
thank
I,
want
to
thank
everyone
for
being
here
today.
I
know,
Commissioner
Evans
spoke
earlier
today,
so
I
don't
think
I
can
top
the
police
commissioner
of
Boston.
He
has
a
way
to
tell
a
story.
That's
incredible!
B
So
I
want
to
thank
the
Commissioner
I
want
to
thank
dr.,
Paul,
Kariya
and
MGH
for
being
here,
Christian,
Olsen
and
cam
Tech,
for
putting
today
on
the
survivors
that
are
here.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
The
advocates
are
here,
thank
you
for
being
here
all
of
you
in
this
important
conversation,
particularly
at
this
moment
in
time.
It's
important
for
us
to
continue
to
have
a
good,
strong
dialogue.
I
know
there
was
some
other
speakers
earlier.
B
Joseph
spoke
I
want
to
thank
you
and
Martin
and
Jody,
and
all
the
powerful
stories
that
were
told
today,
I
miss
them
I
apologize,
but
thank
you
for
sharing
I
want
to
thank
again
cam
tech
for
hosting
this
important
summit
in
this
hackathon
and
bringing
people
together.
We
have
business
leaders,
tech
leaders
from
different
areas,
government
officials,
public
health
advocates
I,
know
Sheriff
katusha
was
here
earlier
today,
I've
served
with
them
in
the
House
of
Representatives.
B
One
is
too
many
and
I've
gotten
those
calls
plenty
of
times,
and
often
the
callers,
like
this
young
black
male
either
in
a
calm.
You
know
walking
down
the
street
ambushed
and
killed
because
of
gun
violence
and,
and
the
first
frustrating
part
of
it
is,
is
that
all
of
these
can
be
and
should
be
prevented
because
of
the
access
to
handguns
and
the
to
easy
access
to
handguns.
What
happened
at
pulse?
What
happened
at
Parkland?
B
What
happened
in
Newtown,
they
hit
the
newspaper
and
they
hit
then
CNN
and
they
hit
Fox
News
and
they
hit
all
the
papers
as
a
mass
shooting
happens,
but
all
across
America
we
can
have
a
news
story
every
single
day
of
50
people
killed
in
America
and
more
than
that
because
of
gun
violence,
and
so
we
have
a
mass
shooting
every
single
day,
United
States
of
America
and
there's
no
question
about
it.
In
my
mind
that
gun
violence
is
a
public
health
problem,
something
that
we
have
to
deal
with
it
on
so
many
different
fronts.
B
It
devastates
families
and
I
often
say
this
that
when
there's
a
shooting
in
our
city
and
a
young
person
gets
shot
or
anyone
gets
shot
and
killed
for
that
matter.
Two
families
are
devastated.
The
family,
who
lost
the
loved
one
in
the
family,
who's
about
to
lose
loved
one
when
the
police
find
out
who
did
the
shooting
and
that
person
is
taken
out
of
society
put
in
prison
and
they
completely
lose
both
of
their
loved
ones.
B
One
when
a
shooting,
like
that
happens,
it
traumatizes
communities
as
Joshua
talked
about
it
traumatized
the
community
in
Florida
they
trot
the
traumatized
communities
all
across
the
United
States
of
America,
and
it
certainly
shakes
a
nation
and
every
time
we
see
it
on
TV
or
hear
about
it.
It
does
shake
our
community
and
shakes
our
nation
for
a
long
period
of
time
until
we
forget
about
it
and
then
there's
another
one
that
comes
right
behind
it
somewhere
down
the
road
that
puts
it
back
on
the
front
front
front
end
and
it's
amazing
what's
happening.
B
This
is
absolutely
the
conversation
that
we
need
to
have
right
here
today
and
tomorrow,
and
thank
you
for
that
and
it's
a
conversation
that
we
need
to
continue
to
have
in
the
United
States
of
America.
This
conversation
about
gun
violence
in
our
country
has
gotten
louder
and
in
light
of
the
recent
tragedies,
certainly
in
parkland
with
the
young
people
from
Parkland,
we
need
to
I
hate
to
say
this
word.
B
We
need
to
take
advantage
of
this
momentum
and
we
have
to
continue
to
move
forward
because
I,
don't
like
saying,
take
advantage
of
a
bad
situation,
but
we
have
to
take
advantage
of
this
this
particular
moment
in
time.
As
we
move
forward,
our
students
are
passionate,
they're,
incredible,
the
embarked
I'm
sure
I,
don't
anyway,
any
students
are
here
from
from
from
from
the
March,
but
in
Boston
it
was
based
off
of
what
happened
in
parkland
Florida
and
the
kids
here.
B
We're
able
to
turn
it
around
in
Massachusetts,
great
kids
from
all
of
the
Commonwealth
to
turn
it
around
into
a
anti-violence
conversation.
So
they
took
it
from
a
mass
shooting
in
Florida
in
the
school
to
a
conversation
about
violence
in
our
streets
of
Boston,
in
streets
of
Springfield
and
speaks
of
the
streets
of
Worcester
and
Holyoke,
and
all
the
other
cities
where
we
have
issues
and
and
I
come
in
the
young
people
for
that
to
the
brave
families
of
homicides
and
people
across
this
country.
B
For
speaking
up,
we
say,
thank
you
we'd
say
thank
you
for
doing
that.
It's
so
important
that
you
do
that,
because
a
lot
of
times
that
we,
when
you
see
it
as
a
mayor,
I,
get
to
see
it
up
close
and
personal
almost
every
day,
but
as
an
as
an
average
person,
their
vision
or
their
understanding
of
what's
happening
with
violence
and
gun
violence
around
the
country
is
what
they
see
on
TV.
They
actually
don't
meet
the
hump.
They
don't
meet
the
survivors,
they
don't
meet.
B
Anyone
who
lost
someone,
they
don't
get
a
chance
to
ask
questions
and
that's
why
I
think
this
conversation
you're
having
today
is
important
to
a
lot
of
people
to
ask
questions
of
different
survivors
to
say
exactly
what
happened
and-
and
we
know
what
happened
but
I
think
it's
important
that
we
hear
it
up
front
and
very
close
and
personal.
We
all
have
a
role
to
play
in
reducing
gun
violence.
There's
no
question
about
it.
B
We
all
have
a
role
to
play
in
reducing
gun
violence,
some
of
the
stuff
I'm
about
to
talk
about
now,
just
for
a
minute,
if
it's
repetitive
from
the
commissioner
I
apologize,
but
I
know
that
I'm
I
stole
his
nose.
So
here
in
Boston,
with
tackling
gun
issues
and
gun
violence
from
many
different
angles.
As
been
said
many
many
times,
Massachusetts
has
the
lowest
death
rates
in
the
country.
B
I
want
to
thank
the
Commissioner
of
Boston
Police
Department
in
this
command
staff
for
doing
important
work.
Every
single
day
community
make
our
neighborhood
safer.
The
Boston
Police
Department
officers
are
dedicated
to
getting
guns
off
our
streets,
whether
it's
to
recovering
firearms
and
I.
Don't
the
community
talked
about
this,
but
he
texted
me
two
days
ago
to
tell
me
that
they
went
into
a
house
in
West,
Roxbury
and
I
think
they
took
14
guns
out
of
the
house
and
there
were
all
different
types
of
guns.
B
We
have
police
taught
and
a
couple
weeks
ago
that
we
put,
we
took
a,
we
took
her
assault,
assault
rifle
out
of
a
gun
and
out
of
a
car
along
with
other
handguns
in
the
car.
It
was
just
a
stopped
random.
Stop
police
officers,
that's
almost
funny
stop.
The
car
saw
something
funny
in
the
car
was
able
to
recover
all
those
guns
in
the
contras
by
doing
doing
his
job,
something
that
was
important.
We
create
a
gun,
buyback
program
in
2014.
They
said
to
me.
B
People
said
to
me
in
the
papers
editorialized
about
it
saying:
oh,
it's
foolish,
there's
no
point
in
not
gonna
do
anything
about
it
in
the
first
year,
I
think
we
bought
back
six
hundred
guns.
Second,
we
brought
back
four
hundred
guns,
thirty
wasn't
as
effective
and
now
we're
looking
at.
How
do
we
relaunch
this
program
again,
because
the
way
I
feel
if
we
buy
one
gun
back,
that
one
gun
probably
would
have
prevented
somebody
from
being
shot
with
that
gun
and
killed?
So
that's
important
for
us
as
we
move
forward
we're
engaging
responsible
gun
owners.
B
There's
a
lot
of
conversation
about
the
NRA
generally
talked
about
the
NRA
and
about
all
you
know
the
powerful
lobby,
and
how
they,
how
they're
working
what
we
did
in
Boston
with
Commissioner
Evans
and
myself
sent
a
send
a
letter
to
every
gun
owner
in
Boston.
Just
explaining
their
rights,
letting
them
know
if
they
wanted
to
get
trigger
locks
would
give
them
trigger
locks,
how
they
should
show
their
guns.
If
a
gun
was
stolen,
how
they
should
report
the
gun?
B
We're
tracing
the
path
of
a
league
who
gotten
something
that's
extremely
important.
Many
times
when
we
have
shootings
in
our
in
our
city,
we
traced
the
gun
back
to
most
times
to
another
state.
It
also
helps
Boston
lead
the
way
in
the
efforts
of
community
policing
reaching
out
to
members
of
the
community
explaining
their
rights,
but
also
talking
to
people,
particularly
to
the
gun
buyback
program
on
how
we
can
make
sure
encourage
power.
B
Maybe
there's
somebody
to
help
us
with
recovering
and
getting
some
of
these
guns
off
the
street
out
of
a
shoebox
under
the
bed
out
of
the
shoebox.
On
top
of
a
on
top
of
a
shelf
in
the
bedroom,
something
that
we
try
to
do
every
day
and
I
can't
underscore
how
important
this
is
and
if
we
could
have
every
city
in
town
across
United,
States
America
do
what
we're
doing
here
in
Boston
we
would
be,
we
would
be
safer.
We'd
have
a
lot
more
guns
off
the
street.
B
The
health
and
safety
of
our
community
depends
upon
building
a
strong
sense
of
trust
and
understanding
between
our
community
between
our
offices
in
the
community,
which
what
does
that
mean?
That
means
true,
community
policing,
there's
a
big
conversation
right
now
in
Boston
about
having
body
cameras
on
police
offices,
then
we're
heading
that
way,
but
body
cameras
on
police
offices
don't
build
trust
body.
Camera
on
police
officers
doesn't
have
to
have
that
community.
B
The
way
you
build
trust
is
by
having
our
police
department
talking
to
young
people
in
particularly
young
people
of
color
in
our
city,
to
talk
about.
How
do
we
strengthen
those
relationships?
How
do
we
end
stereotyping
or
profiling
of
young
people,
and
how
do
we
move
forward
on
that
and
I'm
not
saying
we're
perfect
and
we're?
Certainly
not
the
worst,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
B
But
again
it's
about
having
those
dialogues
and
those
conversations
that
are
important
to
us
and
I
bring
that
up,
because
a
lot
of
the
violence
that
we
experience
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
is
handgun.
Violence
is
gang
activity.
It's
drug
activity,
it's
it's
a
robbery
things
like
that.
That's
the
gun
activity
that
we're
seeing
here
in
our
city
just
but
despite
all
our
efforts,
our
biggest
problem
is
the
flow
of
illegal
guns
into
over
over
the
borders
of
Massachusetts
into
the
into
the
city
of
Boston,
and
our
recent
Boston
gun
crime
study.
B
We
found
that
most
of
the
guns
recovered
by
the
Boston
Police
Department
between
2017
me,
2007
and
2013,
were
originally
purchased
outside
of
Massachusetts,
so
here
in
Boston
were
taking
a
regional
approach
which
held
for
regional
gun
summit
so
far
with
86
cities
and
towns
in
all
six
New
England
states.
What
does
that
mean?
That
means
that
we're
bringing
mayors
and
police
chiefs
either
to
Boston
or
province
Ryland
we've
had
them
all
over
the
place
and
we're
talking
about
illegal
guns
flowing
into
Boston.
B
Obviously,
that
sparks
the
conversation
in
cities
and
towns
are
on
new
england
saying
well,
we
have
a
problem
with
drug
is
going
up
to
our
area
from
your
navel.
So
what's
happened
is
we're
actually
having
dialogues
and
conversations.
You
know
somebody
that
was
on
TV
the
other
day
and
who
criticized
Boston
and
Lawrence
for
drugs
going
into
New
Hampshire
and
what
I
was
saying
it.
What
I
thought
was
kind
of
ironic?
B
He
didn't
take
the
time
or
if
you
look
back
at
the
notes
from
the
previous
administration,
he
would
have
found
that
one
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
is
this
gun,
gun,
Summit's
and
also
he
talks
about
drugs
flowing
of
drugs
up
into
New
Hampshire.
So
we're
working
to
try
and
stop
that
from
happening
and
we're
trying
to
work
better
collectively
with
our
police
departments
across
jurisdiction
to
understand
how
we
can
make
our
neighborhood
safer,
whether
it's
Portsmouth
New
Hampshire
or
Boston
Massachusetts.
B
How
do
we
help
both
situations
in
those
cities
and
towns,
we're
sharing
our
strategies,
building
relationships,
I'm
doing
that
too?
The
US
Conference
of
Mayors,
talking
to
other
mayors
and
other
areas,
to
talk
about
we're.
Trying
here
does
it
work?
It
won't,
we
won't
say
I
can't
say
it
completely
works
until
some
day
at
the
end
of
the
year,
I
can
say
we
had
no
homicides
in
Boston
because
of
guns
day.
That's
my
that's
my
benchmark,
we're
not
there.
B
Yet
we
had
we've
had
15
homicides
this
year,
I
think
12
of
them
were
gun
related
and
that's
something
that
you
know.
We're
still
continue
to
try
and
pull
those
numbers
down.
We're
partnering
with
researchers
and
safety
advocates
like
every
town
for
gun
safety,
arms
with
ethics
stop
handgun
violence.
I
saw
John
rolls
anthologies
walking
out
today
we're
working
with
different
organizations
to
try
and
do
whatever
we
can
any
ideas
that
are
given
to
us
to
take
those
ideas
and
just
try
something:
there's
no
harm
in
trying
something.
B
If
it
doesn't
work,
it
doesn't
work,
but
just
try
something
something
different
like
you're
doing
here
with
the
hackathon,
we're
rolling
out
pilot
programs
and
trying
to
use
the
newest
technology
to
trace
and
track
guns.
So
we
have
a
lot
that
we
can
say
that
we're
happy
with
here
in
the
city
of
Boston,
but
we
also
know
the
larger
reality.
It
doesn't
matter
how
diligent
we
are
here
in
Boston
in
Massachusetts,
if
our
federal
government
doesn't
pull
their
way.
It
won't
be
enough
and
we'll
be
talking
about
this
for
a
long
time.
B
Congress
needs
to
take
this
issue
seriously
and
not
by
giving
a
dramatic
speech
on
the
steps
of
some
place
where
a
shooting
happens.
They
need
to
actually
do
the
job.
They
were
elected
to
to
pass
legislation
that
protects
the
people
they
represent
and
protect
the
people
in
this
country.
We
need
common
sense,
gun
reform.
Everyone
in
this
room
knows
what
that
means.
It's
something
that
both
sides
of
the
aisle
can
can
do
and
must
agree
on
and
America.
Certainly
American
people
certainly
do
I
had
the
opportunity.
Well,
two
years,
three
years
ago,
I
was
divided.
B
B
There
was
a
press
conference
when
President
Obama
signed
it
and
when
President
Trump
reversed
it,
no
one
talked
about
it
and
all
that
simply
did
was
a
72-hour
background
check
and
what
did
that?
Do
that
probably
saved
a
few
lives
and
there
was
no
fanfare
and
no
good
discussion.
I
really
haven't
heard
a
natural
conversation
about
it
since
then,
but
we
need
our
leaders
to
do
more
than
then
reverse
what's
important.
So
it's
important
that
we
moving
forward.
Speaking
of
Congress,
we're
very
concerned
about
the
in
Boston
the
concealed-carry
repressed.
Olicity,
lot!
B
B
People
in
Maine
could
take
their
gun,
that's
openly,
carry
it
in
their
car,
comes
on
the
Boston
Massachusetts
go
to
cop,
go
to
go
to
Boston
Street
in
Copley
Square
and
walk
around
and
go
shopping,
and
they
have
the
right
to
do
that,
because
the
law
Congress
gave
them
that
right,
so
we're
working
to
make
sure
that
that
law
doesn't
pass.
It
underestimates
our
efforts
here
in
Boston
to
bridge
the
divide
between
different
call
in
views,
and
we
have
across
the
town,
city
and
state
lines,
issues
that
we
have
to
deal
with.
B
We
also
need
to.
We
also
need
to
start
seeing
some
signs
in
the
right
direction.
Recently,
both
academic
institutions
and
private
organizations
are
stepping
up
to
support
and
fund
gun
gun
violence,
research,
something
that
we
have
to
do.
Doctors
are
approaching
this
topic
with
their
patients
as
a
matter
of
primary
care.
B
The
White
House
clarified
language
on
the
Dickey
amendment
that
may
open
doors
for
gun
related
research,
something
that's
really
important
for
us
to
do,
but
we
won't
know
the
real
impact
until
we
see
money
actually
stopped
flowing
from
the
CDC's
into
research
and
our
signs
are
hopeful.
It's
also
an
encouraging
are
that
our
nation
sign
to
focus
on
gun.
B
Violence
is
a
public
health
issue,
something
that
we
have
to
do,
because
it's
a
public
health
issue
right
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
I
can
speak
for
New,
York,
LA,
Chicago,
Atlanta
and
other
cities
around
America.
That
I
know
this
is
a
public
health
issue,
so
it's
important,
so
we
need
to
be
moving
faster.
People
continue
to
be
affected
by
gun
violence
every
single
day,
whether
it's
a
mass
shooting,
a
shooting
on
our
streets
or
a
self-inflicted
violence.
B
We
need
to
look
at
gun
violence
in
a
holistic
way
and
the
issues
that
affect
every
single
community
in
our
country.
As
we
continue
to
move
forward
here.
We
also,
we
also
need
to
start
thinking
of
innovative
ways
about
how
we
can
effectively
curb
violence.
That's
why
it's
important
that
all
of
you
here
today
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
participating
in
the
hackathon
like
I
said
early.
We
have
a
role
to
play
in
reducing
gun,
violence,
technology
and
innovation
can
truly
make
a
tremendous
difference
in
this
fight.
B
Some
of
you
may
find
the
answers
to
the
next
breakthrough
to
help
us
advance
this
work
and
even
save
lives.
Our
future
of
defend
appends
upon
these
smart,
creative
and
thoughtful
approaches
to
our
biggest
challenges.
We
do
it
in
almost
every
single
thing
in
our
city,
in
our
state
in
Boston
those
really
I'm
from
Boston,
we
have
world-class
institutions,
data
and
Technology
are
helping
us
find
cures
for
diseases
that
we
didn't
have
15
20
years
ago.
So
there's
no
reason
why
we
can't
tackle
this
issue
of
gun
violence.
B
The
same
exact
way
so
again,
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
holding
this
summit
and
is
hackathon
in
our
city
and
I
hope
you
enjoy
the
rest
of
the
summit
and
your
time
here
in
the
city
and
I
know
I'm
not
supposed
take
questions.
I,
don't
think.
But
if
you
want
me
to
answer
a
couple,
questions
I
will.
C
C
B
Were
strict
laws,
the
ammunition,
but
while
I
was
on
the
car
waiting,
we
have
as
I
taught
you
about
the
gun,
the
gun
buyback
program
we
have
here
in
Boston
in
John
Rosenthal
just
suggested
that
we
do
in
ammunition
by
that
program
and
something
that
he
grabbed
the
police.
Commissioner,
on
this
morning
and
the
Commissioner
said,
that's
an
interesting
idea.
I'm
gonna
talk
to
the
mayor
about
that
and
I
just
grabbed
them
unbeknownst
that
he
talked
the
Commissioner
I
said
that
sounds
a
great
idea.
I'm
gonna
the
commissioner
about
that.
B
It's
not
focused
on
on
rounds
of
ammunition,
so
it's
something
that
we
will
look
at
and
something
that
next
time
you
come
back
to
Boston,
we'll
probably
have
a
buyback
program
on
that
yeah
and
our
rules
in
Florida
I
was
in
Florida
a
couple
months
a
couple
weeks
ago
and
when
the
laws
were
passed
and
I
thought
I
was
like.
That
was
huge
when
it
went
when
the
legislature
in
Florida
did
some
gun
reform
legislation,
I
was
then
Clearwater
I
was
watching
the
news
I'm
like
oh,
my
god.
B
If
that's
happening
in
Florida,
we
can
do
a
lot
in
this
country,
and
you
know
Massachusetts,
like
I
said:
I
was
a
rep
for
16
years.
I
vote
on
gun
was
gun
rules
three
times
and
since
I
left
the
Legislature's
that
they've
done
two
more
bills
bump
stocks
was
was
the
latest
and
there's
another
bill
going
to
legislature.
Right
now
is
probably
gonna
be
going
on.
So
hey,
there's
all
there's
so
much.
We
can
do
that,
but
we
you're
right.
We
have
to
think
about.
We.
They
go
to
a
munition
yeah
down
the
back.
D
D
Just
wonder
if
there's
a
way
that
either
a
we
take
such
a
broad
things
such
as
a
handgun
all
the
way,
the
ars,
etcetera
and
start
categorizing
them
I
do
seem
to
think
that
there's
any
worth
like
coming
up,
maybe
with
a
different
word
or
like
something
that
is
not
so
polarizing
that
we
could
start
the
conversation
with
or
is
it
worth
classifying
thing?
I,
don't
even
know
more
about
no.
B
I
think
it
depends
when
you
are
really
in
the
country
when
you
think
about
it.
I
mean
generally
I
talk
about
violence
is
violence,
I,
don't
talk
about
gun,
violence
and
stabbing
violence
and
in
different
types
of
violence
generally,
when
I'm
talking
about
when
we
talk
about
public
safety
and
blah,
so
we're
talking
about
reducing
violence
and
one
of
the
lines
things
that
I
say
all
the
time.
It's
true
that
I'd
rather
lift
somebody
up
and
lock
somebody
up
and
that's
what
we
talked
about.
B
You
know
the
gun
comment
comes
into
play
in
Boston,
really
when,
after
a
shooting
happens,
but
when
we
talk
about
when
we're
talking
about
strategy
of
the
police
departments
talking
about
strategies
often
about
how
do
we
reduce
violence?
How
do
we?
How
do
we
get
ahead
of
the
game?
How
do
we
do
more
social
service
programs
and
get
our
providers
out
there
and
work
with
our
young
people
and
trying
to
target
some
of
the
kids
that
might
be
suspected?
That
would
cause
issues
or
have
issues
in
the
few
in
the
road.
B
I
think
that
you
know
took
a
point,
but
but
I
think
if
I
think
right
now,
I
think
we
have
to
talk
about
the
gun
violence,
because
what
what
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
different
spectrums
I
mean
I,
don't
own
the
gun,
I,
don't
have
a
gun
right
license
to
carry
I,
think
people.
If
they
want
to
be
able
to
carry
it
allegedly,
they
should
be
able
to
do
that
if
they
want
to
walk
into
a
store
and
buy
a
gun
they
should
have
to,
they
can
do
that.
B
It
might
be
so
think
that
I
know
I'm
getting
off
the
pony
question
I'll
come
back
to
it,
but
I
think
that
I
think
that
we
have
to
really
think
about.
When
somebody
goes
in
to
buy
a
gun,
we
have
to
do
some
checks
on
it,
checks
and
balances,
and
that's
the
I
think
that's
a
registry
of
guns.
If
you
buy
a
car,
we
all
buy
cars.
We
can't
drive
our
car
without
insurance.
B
It's
really
hard
to
not
talk
about
guns,
but
we
shouldn't
as
a
mayor
I'm,
not
just
focused
on
gun
violence,
because
two
nights
ago
somebody
was
stabbed
in
front
of
the
Boston
Garden
and
died.
He
didn't
get
shot
with
a
gun
he
gets
stabbed.
So
my
concern
is:
how
do
you
reduce
violence
in
Boston?
Part
of
the
violence
is
gun,
violence,
but
I
think
that
that
it
depends
on
who
the
person
is
and
how
you
talk
about
it.
B
When
you
talk
about
school
shootings,
it's
a
little
different
I
mean
you're
talking
about
you're,
talking
about
high-powered
rifles
that
are
happening
in
Boston.
We
do
have
high-powered
rifles
in
the
streets,
but
not
too
little
magnitude,
most
of
oz'
handguns.
You
know
in
the
school
shootings
or
what
happened
in
Vegas
and
nothing
and
the
nightclubs
in
other
places.
Those
are
high-powered,
rifles
are
going.
E
E
I'm,
sorry,
would
you
consider
implementing
cognitive,
behavioral
therapy
in
the
schools
in
Boston
and
was
running
what
your
view
is
on
mental
illness
in
terms
of
being
able
to
have
a
gun
license
that
someone
was
have
to
have
like,
for
example,
PTSD,
and
would
that
include
police
officers,
people
who
have
fought
and
was
in
this
country?
You
know
my
personal
opinion
is
I
feel
that
a
lot
of
times
this
conversation
doesn't
want
to
take
place
because
of
a
lot
of
the
politicians.
E
B
A
lot
a
lot
in
that
question:
I'm
gonna
start
with
the
first
party.
The
first
party
comment
was
about
initiative
budget
in
the
state
in
the
City
Hall,
we're
adding
nine
clinical
psychology,
eight
set
of
clinical
psychologists
and
for
social
workers,
partly
to
deal
with
the
situations
and
struggles
that
our
young
people
have
in
our
schools,
but
also
partly
because
of
what
happened
in
parkland.
So
what
happens?
Is
we
have
a
situation
hypothetically
where
a
young
person
threatens
to
shoot
people
and
I've
talked
to
superintendent?
B
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we
we
marry
that
family.
We
need
to
make
sure
the
young
person
gets
the
help
they
need.
We
need
to
make
sure
the
family
if
they
need
to
help
get
the
help
they
need.
We
can't
just
bring
the
person
in
for
counseling
session
and
say:
okay,
you
enjoyed.
We
have
to
follow
that
that
person
through
because
I,
don't
know
the
full
story,
but
what
happened
in
parkland
seems
like
there
were
signs
that
this
young
man
had
mental
illness.
B
So
I've
had
something
with
him
that
should
have
been
addressed
and
should
have
been
followed
through
and
at
some
point
you
hope
to
get
to
get
to
that
point:
I'm,
not
a
doctor.
So
when
you
talk
about
mental
illness
and
PTSD
and
putting
them
in
the
same
categories
of
thing,
I
think
that's
kind
of
a
that's
I.
Don't
think
that's
right!
Ptsd
is
what
some
what
some
description
mental
illness
might
be.
I'm
an
alcoholic
I
stopped
drinking
23
years
ago.
B
There
are
certain
things
that
I
did
when
I
was
drinking,
that
I
shouldn't
have
done,
I
got
sober
and
now
I
can
I.
You
know,
I
can
do
those
things
sober
I,
don't
think
you
somebody's
going
for
help.
I,
don't
think
you
can
you
can
you
can
say
if
you
had
PTSD
coming,
you
fought
in
Afghanistan,
you
came
out
of
a
fence
and
now
you're
going
to
see
a
counselor.
Now
you
have
your
life
together
and
the
PTSD
you're
working
with
your
doctor.
B
So
I
don't
know
if
that's
enough
to
keep
somebody
from
being
serving
in
the
police
department
serving
in
the
fire
department
or
even
being
able
to
own
handgun
and
that's
a
question
I
think
that
I
can't
answer
so
you
I,
can't
say:
I
agree
with
that.
I
would
let
it
I
need
to
do
a
lot
more
research
on
with
doctors
and
psychologists
to.
Let
them
explain
to
me
why
what
the
situation
is
because
I
think
if
I
said,
if
they're
talking
about
it
and
I'm
a
fraud
because
I'm
not
a
doctor.
F
So
I
just
have
a
question
kind
of
just
about
like
in
the
political
environment.
How
do
you
get
people
kind
of
on
the
other
side
of
the
issue
to
come
to
the
table
and
talk
about
these
gun
violence,
prevention
strategies
I'm
originally
from
Texas,
so
the
political
environment?
There
is
really
different
than
the
one
here,
but
I
just
feel
like
it's
sometimes
really
hard
to
get
those
dialogues
going
and
make
sure
they're,
productive,
I.
B
Think
you
challenge
your
elected
officials
and
you
get
like-minded
people
to
challenge
your
elected
officials
with
you
and
that
means
showing
up
at
their
office.
That
means
calling
their
office.
That
means
explaining
what's
going
on
when
I
was
a
legislator,
you
know
if
I
received
it,
we
did.
We
did
on
our
me
bills,
4,000
bills
filed
a
year
if
I
got
two
calls
on
the
bill.
Okay,
I
get
two
calls
I,
think
four
or
five
calls
on
a
bill:
I
kind
of
paid
attention
to
that
bill,
I
represented
37,000
and
40,000
people.
B
If
I
get
ten
calls
on
a
bill
and
letters
I'm
like
ooh.
Let's
pay
attention
to
this
because
there's
energy
out
there
and
I
think
that
we
have
to
continue
putting
pressure
on
elected
officials.
Elected
officials
are
elected
not
to
support
their
personal
beliefs
but
to
support
their
constituency
and
I.
Think
what
some
of
what's
happening
in
America
today,
I
think
elected
officials
of
lost
sight
of
that,
and
they
think
that
they're
bigger
than
the
office
and
they're
not
the
office,
is
bigger
than
them
and
they
represent
people
and
I.
B
Think
that
the
way
you
bring
people
back
down
to
life
a
little
bit
of
back
down
to
earth,
everyone
runs
well.
Most
people
run
with
the
good
intention
of
wanting
to
do
good,
but
when
they
get
in
there,
they
get
caught
up
in
a
system
and
I.
Think
honestly,
I
think
putting
pressure
on
your
elected
officials
by
calling
and
writing
educating
having
stories
and
eventually
you'll
get
to
that
person.
B
You
might
think
that
doesn't
work,
it
absolutely
works.
Most
people
in
this
room
might
can't
see
this
room,
but
I'm
going
to
make
an
assumption.
Most
people
in
this
room
have
not
called
you
city
councilors
or
maybe
not
this
room.
Most
people
in
the
room
across
the
street
have
not
called
their
city
councilors
or
their
state
representatives
or
the
mayor's
office
or
anything
they've,
never
called
them,
they've,
never
end.
The
answers
are
going,
I
don't
want
to
call
them
it's
useless,
pointless
calling
them.
B
B
One
is
because
it's
the
right
thing
to
do,
but
two
there's
an
advocacy
group
for
those
those
those
those
types
of
services
in
a
school
district
so
that
you
respond
to
what
people
are
asking
for,
and
you
can't
do
everything,
but
it's
important
that
you
reach
out
and
talk
I'm,
guaranteeing
you
most
times
like
that
officials
don't
and
I'm,
not
talking
a
mass
email.
Don't
emails,
don't
don't
even
bother
you're
gonna
email,
somebody,
don't
you
can
email
a
man,
but
some
people
do
email
them
all
day
long.
B
You
know
an
email
as
you
hit
delete,
make
a
phone
call
to
me
and
a
callback
show
up
at
their
office
knock
on
their
front
door.
Go
to
their
office
hours,
make
them
see
the
person,
not
an
email.
That's
a
form,
email
saying
you
know
we
don't
want
violence
and
button
in
Texas
and
we
want
you
to
be
in
bum
stocks
and
this
and
that-
and
everyone
puts
the
same
letter
in
with
the
name
and
address
of
the
person,
then
that
that
becomes
that
becomes.
G
Walsh,
thanks
for
speaking
today,
we've
been
talking
a
lot
about
violence
and
we
were
reminded
earlier
that
there's
some
degree
of
a
sense
that
there
is
virtuous
violence
and
that
would
include
state-sponsored
violence.
It's
a
problem
in
this
country.
Can
you
make
a
comment
about
what
you're
doing
in
boston
to
try
to
ensure
that
especially
communities
of
color
are
protected
from
police
violence,
yeah.
B
I
talked
about
it
indirectly
in
my
first
of
all
way
from
gentlemen.
Okay,
I
have
an
onsen
looking.
I
talked
about
a
little
bit
in
my
speech.
It's
about
it's
about
building
community
relationships
up,
I
mean
that's
the
biggest
thing
I
mean
it's.
It's
constantly
going
out
there
and
doing
whatever
it
is.
We
need
to
do
to
build
trust.
Ultimately,
I
think
it
comes
on
education.
B
So
I
was
able
to
go
to
work
afraid
if
I
didn't
go
to
college.
Not
everyone
has
that
opportunity.
So
when
young
people
drop
out
of
school,
they
have
no
place
to
go,
and
all
they
know
is
hanging
on
the
corner
and
inevitably
that
hanging
on
the
corner
could
get
them
into
trouble
and
get
them
into
violent,
violent
situations.
So
I
think
that
I
think
that
we
have
that
we
have
to
really
in
the
city
in
the
state
I'll.
B
Just
talk
for
Massachusetts
need
to
make
a
larger
investment
in
because
we're
looking
long-term,
rather
than
trying
to
get
social
service
programs
to
catch
the
kids
that
we
missed
and
we've
been
doing
that
now
for
50
60
70
years
in
Boston.
Let's,
let's
get
in
the
forefront
and
let's
cut
that
number
down
that
we
have
to
get.
B
Let's
put
the
social
service
companies,
business,
social
service
industry
out
of
business,
but
actually
educating,
kids
and
I'm
saying
that
in
a
positive
way,
when
it
comes
to
community
police
relations,
it
really
is
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
things.
We've
done
so
when
I
came
in
as
mayor,
the
command
staff
didn't
reflect
the
diversity
of
our
city,
so
we
made
the
first
move
to
diversify
the
command
staff,
50%
of
the
command
staff
for
people
of
color.
We
started
to
change
Lisa,
Holmes,
I
superintendent,
for
a
training
started
to
change.
B
The
way
that
we
train
on
new
office
is
coming
on
around
racism
and
around
just
different
interactions
with
people,
rather
than
arresting
everyone
working
trying
to
work
out
solutions.
We
started
a
cadet
program
in
the
city
to
diversify
the
rank
and
file
of
our
Police
Department,
so
the
rank
and
file
would
again
reflect
the
community
that
they
serve.
We
worked
we
put
into
the
first
Muslim
officer
of
color
and
first
Muslim
officer,
captain
in
the
history
of
Boston
we
put
in
the
Latino
community
majority
Latino
community.
We
put
a
Latino
captain
in
the
Asian
community.
B
Let's
see
an
Asian
captain
and
again
it's
about
understanding
that
young
people
are
having
interactions
when
they
see
police
officers
or
leadership
in
please
department
that
it's
somebody
that
looks
like
them
and
can
understand,
and
maybe
even
have
a
have
similar
situations
growing
up.
We've
done
that
you
know,
as
I
said
earlier,
we're
not
perfect
and
we're
not
what
we
need
to
be
yet.
But
I
think
that
when
President
Obama
put
together
21st
century
policing-
and
he
you
know,
he
brought
in
a
Commissioner
Superintendent
Ramsey
Commissioner
Ramsey-
to
lead
it.
B
After
about
the
third
meeting
when,
when
the
report
came
out,
three
quarters
of
the
report
was
basically
based
off
what
we're
doing
in
Boston,
which
we
were
happy
about.
But
what
happens?
We
lost
some
momentum
because
the
new
leadership
change
in
Washington
so
I
think.
Where
does
the
start?
It
starts
at
the
mayor.
B
It
starts
with
the
City
Council
and
it
starts
with
the
police,
commissioner
and
it's
important
for
us
to
continue
to
move
forward
in
positive
directions
and
not
be
afraid
to
take
criticism
because
I
go
into
a
lot
of
rooms
where
I
get
a
lot
of
criticism.
You
know
your
Police
Department
is
right:
police
department,
working
on
a
few
police
bombings
and
helping
us-
and
you
just
can't
get
quit
you
can't
you
can't
take
it.
Personal
you've
got
to
say,
because
they're
experienced
that
person's
experience
has
been
a
bad
one.
B
So
how
do
you
fix
that
relation?
Do
it
by
saying
quick
words
and
trying
to
you
know,
move
my
way
through
there.
You
have
to
say:
okay,
let's
try
and
work
a
better
solution,
and
you
know
again
we're
going
to
continue
to
move
forward
on
that.
I.
Think
the
military
demilitarizing,
the
police
is
important
after
Ferguson
happened
in
and
we
had
protests
here
in
Boston
Boston
Police
Department
went
out
there
without
riot
gear.
We
didn't
have
all
that
stuff.
We
went
out.
B
We
interacted
with
the
community
the
young
people
that
were
out
here,
protests
of
Ferguson.
They
had
some
interaction
with
the
State
Police
and
they
had
some
interactions
with
the
MBTA
police.
They
had
riot
gear
on
it
didn't
say
it
got
people
insightful
inside
it.
It
wasn't
the
right
way
to
approach
and
we
didn't
use
the
right
yeah.
B
We
didn't
have
that
when
we
had
the
free
speech
rally
the
so-called
free
to
be
traveling
on
Boston
Common
again,
you
know
some
of
we
did
have
some
some
some
officers
in
riot
gear
that
day,
because
we
were
concerned
about
what
was
gonna
happen.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
we
40,000
people
come
in
to
the
Boston
comments.
Have
a
peaceful
kind
of
push
back
to
this
group
that
was
gonna,
have
free
speech
and
talk.
What
they
want
to
talk
about.
B
We
had
them
appear
just
to
protect
the
people,
but
the
officers
that
were
inside
the
park
and
the
perimeter
didn't
have
the
riot
gear
on
what
does
that
mean?
That
doesn't
mean
anything
other
than
it's
importantly,
respects
people.
If
you
go
into
a
community
and
you
have
riot
gear,
then
what
you're
saying
is.
We
need
to
bring
the
army
into
this
community
because
it's
unsafe
and
it's
again
it's
about.
B
How
do
you
pass
positive
messages
and
they
move
forward
so
I
know
you
have
a
breakout
session
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
come
again.
Thank
you
for
speaking
all
the
speaker's
here
today.
Thank
you
for
out
what
you
said
and
thank
you
for
sharing
your
stories
and
I
hope
that
some
of
the
great
information
that
comes
out
of
this
we'll
be
implementing
in
Boston
and
I'll,
be
working
on
the
buyback
program
for
the
boys.
Thank
you.
