Description
City of Pittsburgh Mayor William Peduto, Police Chief Scott Schubert, and Deputy Chief of Staff Majestic Lane discussed racial equity and public safety with Department of Public Safety and Bureau of Police officials.
A
Good
afternoon
everyone
and
welcome
to
the
equity
series.
My
name
is
Jessica
Lane
honored
to
serve
as
deputy
chief
of
staff
and
chief
equity
officer
for
mayor
Peduto,
and
this
is
a
another
conversation
and
dialogue
and
a
host
of
dialogues
around
was
originally
started
around
Cova
19
and
its
impact
on
equity
in
a
variety
of
ways,
as
we
knew
and
know,
and
continue
to
know
that
the
pandemic
has
having
some
very
unequal
impacts
on
different
aspects
of
our
population.
A
That
and
centering
that
experience
as
a
black
man
and
in
Pittsburgh
in
America,
and
we
do
a
lot
of
work
around
equity
and
looking
at
equity.
As
you
know,
a
point
where
you
know
race
or
gender
or
orientation
or
class,
not
a
stand-in
for
quality
of
life
and
and
those
are
some
of
the
broader
goals
that
we
have
been
working
towards
and
places
all
across.
A
How
can
we
best
serve
the
public
and
best
to
preserve
the
health
of
the
public,
especially
when
you
have
so
many
disparities
going
on,
and
how
can
cities
respond
and
pivot
to
those
issues
going
into
you
know
later
into
2020
and
forward,
and
our
city
is
responding
to
the
cries
of
so
many
around
the
disparities
first
around
kovat
and
then
also
obviously
around
the
murder
of
George
Floyd.
So
I
want
to
just
kind
of
start
with
that
and
want
to
go
to
to
you
mayor
want
to
ask
mayor.
B
B
You
know
we're
trying
as
much
as
we
possibly
can
to
be
able
to
address
the
concerns
of
the
people
of
Pittsburgh
on
the
type
of
city
government
that
they
want
to
have
in
the
type
of
Police
Bureau
that
they
want
to
have,
while
at
the
same
time
trying
to
keep
the
peace
and
to
deal
with
the
crisis
of
March
or
a
protest
every
day
and
like
I
said,
emotions
are
high.
So
putting
all
that
together,
it
creates
a
very.
B
Difficult
or
if
not
a
very
complex
set
of
circumstances,
our
goal
is
to
be
able
to
put
into
effect
immediately
police
reform,
while
looking
at
a
long
term
basis
of
addressing
a
multitude
of
issues
with
the
public
over
the
course
of
the
year.
Today
we
began
that
process.
We
have
become
an
early
adopter
of
my
brother's
keeper
alliance
with
cities
around
the
country.
This
is
a
Alliance
that
was
called
for
by
President
Barack
Obama.
We
have
been
a
leader
in
my
brother's
keeper
for
the
past
four
years
since
it
was
created
under
the
Obama
administration.
B
This
helps
to
push
us
to
the
next
level,
which
looks
at
reviewing
the
use
of
police
force
policies,
engaging
communities
by
including
a
diverse
range
of
input,
experiences
and
stories,
reporting
the
findings
to
the
community
and
seeking
feedback
and
then
reforming
the
communities,
police
use
and
force
policies.
The
last
part
of
that
in
reforming
police
policies.
B
A
So
thank
you
for
that
mayor,
she's
Shubert.
Many
of
the
things
that
we're
talking
about
the
21st
century,
policing
challenge
has
been
going
on
in
the
administration.
For
some
time
you've
been
an
advocate
of
engaging
with
community
and
making
sure
that
all
communities
in
our
city
feel
comfortable
I
mean
these
things
are
not
without
bumps
right.
So
these
things
are,
you
know,
challenging
right
and
in
no
city
in
America
has
it
right
and
that's
not
a
wait.
That's
not
for
us
to
feel
good
about
this.
A
The
work
looks
like
going
forward
for
21st
century
policing
that
keeps
these
quality
of
relationships
keeps
equity
at
the
forefront
of
how
we're
interacting
and
then
also
responds
to
community.
Sometimes,
people
are
not
happy
and
they're
in
there
channeling
their
rage
and
they're
talking
about
things
and
they're,
engaging
in
ways
that
you
know
can
make
people
uncomfortable,
but
it
is
also
one
something
that
is
a
result
of
so
much
that
has
happened
in
the
city
so
much
that
has
happened
in
this
country.
C
C
It
happen
in
front
of
your
eyes
on
video
as
a
person
as
he
pleads
for
help
and
one
were
not
trained
that
way,
but
two
we
get
in
this
profession
because
we
want
to
help
people,
we
want
to
be
there
for
them,
and
that
didn't
happen
and
they
failed
him
and
they
took
a
life
that
should
have
never
an
incident
that
should
have
never
happened
and
quickly.
You
know
law
enforcement,
major
City
Chiefs
with
we
belong
to
across
the
country.
We
all
recognize
that
you
know
we've
got
to
speak
up,
you
know.
C
If
we
truly
want
change
to
happen,
we
have
to
speak
up
and
I.
Think
if
you
look
at
anybody
in
law
enforcement
around
the
country,
I
think
they
all
saw
the
same
thing.
So
I
think
this
is
an
opportunity
that
we
we've
got
to.
We've
got
to
make
something
positive
from
the
death
that
the
four
officers
caused
to
help
all
of
the
law
enforcement
in
what
we
do
and
I'd
say
the
biggest
thing
right
off
the
bat
with
that
is
is
the
the
officers.
C
It
did
nothing
to
help
him
who
stood
around
and
did
nothing
to
intervene
or
stop
the
action
and
I
think
that's
something
internally
across
the
country
that
each
agency
needs
to
work
with
and
ensure
that
their
officers
are
following
that
and
you
stand
up,
I
mean
we're
we're
we're
we're
the
police,
we're
the
law
enforcement.
We
have
to
set
that
standard.
We
have
to
set
that.
You
know
that
bar
of
ensuring
that
our
officers
are
accountable
not
just
for
themselves
but
for
the
officers
they
work
with
as
well.
C
So
that's
something
that's
really
big
to
me.
As
the
mayor
said,
a
lot
of
these
things
that
were
put
out,
we
already
do,
and
you
know
we're
we're
lucky,
because
we
went
through
a
national
initiative.
We've
done
a
lot,
you
know
with
21st
century
policing
under
President
Obama,
and
we
always
look
at
ourselves
to
see
where
we're
at
and
if
there's
things
that
we
need
to
improve.
So
we
do
look
for
forward
to
people
with
their
suggestions.
We're
not
perfect.
C
C
Who
does
a
lot
of
work
with
us
as
well,
but
the
officers
we
have
out
in
the
field
who
are
going
out
into
the
communities?
It's
it's
very
important
to
us
and
I
think
each
of
us
know,
and
if
we
asked
each
one
separately,
you
know
what
gives
us
the
most
joy
is.
We
think
we're
building
for
the
future
we're
making
the
change
now
for
the
future.
So
that's
that's
something
I'm
very,
very
proud
about.
C
A
She
should
be
just
real
quickly.
I
want
to
ask
you
kind
of
a
another
question
based
upon
that
and
some
of
the
work
that
you've
been
doing
around
implicit
bias
and
de-escalation
training.
One
of
the
things
that
the
mayor
called
for
today
was
to
make
sure
that
a
lot
of
officers
and
officers
across
the
Commonwealth
have
this
level
of
training.
Could
you
talk
about
what
that
means
again,
it
doesn't
mean
it
always
goes
perfectly.
It
doesn't
mean
we
don't
have
challenges
around
those
things.
But
what
is
the
standard
that
you
and
your
department
have
around?
A
You
know
the
implicit
bias
and
what
happens
often
in
communities
often
what
is
happening
to
African
Americans,
what
is
happening
to
the
trans
population?
What
has
happened
to
immigrant
population
around
implicit
biases?
That
people
often
have
that's
one
and
then
two
in
situations
like
protests
and
situations
like
what
has
been
going
on
across
the
country
around
de-escalation,
okay,.
C
So
to
answer
the
one
question
we're
lucky
because
we're
you
know
a
bigger
organization,
we
do
a
lot
of
more
training
than
other
agencies
do
across
the
wealth.
We
do
a
lot
of
scenario-based
drills,
where
you're
using
the
escalation.
In
that
we
mandate
that
everybody
has.
You
know
the
implicit
bias
training
we
actually
offer
it
to
the
communities
as
well,
and
we're
always
trying
to
do
more
and
more.
C
We
actually
just
brought
in
more
the
escalation
training
that
our
instructors
at
the
academy
have,
and
actually
that
more
of
that
would
have
been
going
on
now,
had
it
not
been
for
the
cove
at
19
instruct
earlier
this
year,
but
we're
always
looking
to
improve
with
our
technology
with
our
tasers,
with
our
body-worn
cameras,
always
looking.
How
can
we
do
things
better
with
that
now?
What
is
we
can
do,
because
we,
as
I
said
we
look
at
every
challenge,
is
an
opportunity
to
constantly
constantly
change
things.
C
I
think
this
would
be
important
because
it
will
help
other
agencies
across
the
Commonwealth
that
don't
have
that
opportunity.
You
have
some
agencies
that
may
have
five
officers,
and
three
of
them
could
be
part-time.
If
some
agencies
that
have
ten
people
15
people
all
the
way
up,
the
norms-
probably
like
you
know,
15
to
30,
and
then
you
have
Philadelphia,
that's
that's
big.
C
C
So
how
can
other
agencies
do
that
as
well,
and
obviously
municipal
police
officer,
training
and
Education
Commission
would
have
to
work
with
that
and
then,
when
you're
out
in
the
street-
and
you
get
your
in-service
training
that
we're
required
once
again,
we
provide
additional
training
throughout
the
year
for
our
officers.
You
know,
how
do
you
get
the
those
other
agencies,
so
they
can
be
consistent
with
that
same
training
where
they
can't
they
don't
have
anybody
else
to
put
on
overtime
to
work
or
they
don't
have
the
money
to
put
them
on
overtime.
C
So
the
best
thing
I
think
we
can
do
is
figure
out
is
as
the
state
to
figure
out.
How
do
we
get
everybody,
so
they
do
the
same
thing
across
the
Commonwealth,
so
they
have
the
same
training.
They
have
the
same
policies.
You
know
they
have
the
same
standards
and-
and
is
it
a
challenge?
Yes,
but
I
think
it's
an
opportunity.
A
Thank
you
for
that.
Chief
I
appreciate
that
I'm
actually
gonna
go
to
assistant
director
Murphy
to
just
really
kind
of
talk
about
your
role
with
the
Public
Safety
Department,
your
role
when
engaging
with
community.
We
have
a
number
of
folks
on
the
line
who
you
know
have
been
really
engaging
with
community
and
I
know.
You
can
only
go
up
from
here
with
enhancing
that
and
working
more
with
community,
because
it's
it
can
never
be
enough
communication.
It
can
never
be
enough
conversation,
but
director
Murphy.
D
So
I'm
assistant,
director
of
community
affairs,
for
our
Department
of
Public
Safety
I
work
primarily
with
please
out
of
all
the
bureaus,
but
I
also
manage
a
number
of
pieces
of
our
department,
our
victim
services,
our
disruptive
properties,
nighttime
economy,
our
Park
Rangers.
We
have
program
coordinators
who
work
with
Police,
Fire
EMS
and
will
Karen
control
and
I'm,
probably
missing
a
few,
and
also
our
shopper.
Violence
office
and
my
role
of
police
is
I,
call
myself
more
about
a
connector
trying
to
bridge
that
gap
between
getting
voices
heard
and
people's
ideas
into
the
bureau.
D
So
when
we
talk
about
making
policies,
when
we
talk
about
making
laws,
when
we
talk
about
equity,
we
usually
have
a
bunch
of
people
in
the
room
who
don't
look
like
us
who
don't
come
from
the
communities
that
we
come
from?
Who
don't
have
the
experiences
that
we
experience?
But
then
they're
like
here
here
is
a
law
or
here's
a
policy
or
HIPAA
important.
That
is,
and
now
this
body
of
paper
governs
we
can
engage
with,
and
that
is
extremely
problematic
because
we
need
to
have
key
who
are
in
that
space.
D
That
can
say
hey
this
isn't
going
to
work,
because
the
way
that
this
community
engages
with
the
police
or
their
traumas
or
their
experiences-
or
you
know,
past
incidents
or
behaviors-
won't
allow
for
this
policy
or
this
ordinance
or
this
law
to
be
successful.
I
go
on
a
tangent,
a
lot
when
I'm
in
our
communities
about
the
importance
of
voting,
because
our
police
officers,
when
they
say
like
I'm,
upholding
the
law,
that's
what
they're
doing
and
it's
a
truth
that
we
don't
like
to
talk
about
a
lot
of
the
times.
But
it
is
the
truth.
D
There
is
a
law
that
is
put
in
place
that
gives
them
the
authority
to
do
the
things
that
they
do
and
revoke
people
into
office
who
support
those
laws,
and
so
you
know
I
talked
to
our
residents
community
members
all
the
time
about.
What
can
we
do
to
take
action
to
make
change
and
it's
hold
our
policymakers
accountable?
If
we
don't
like
the
way
that
things
are
when
we
elect
them
into
office,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
they're
there
to
make
changes
that
will
reflect
the
things
in
our
community.
D
There
are
a
lot
of
people
who
feel
like
their
voices
are
not
heard,
and
so
I
like
to
set
up
meetings,
I'm
one
for
conversations
and
I'm
a
great
mediator
not
to
toot
my
own
horn,
but
I
think
that
I
am
and
I
can
bring
people
together
and
have
people
with
different
ideas
share.
What
their
experiences
are
and
really
try
to
find
a
common
ground
and
I
say
we
accomplished
a
lot
through
conversation.
D
Sometimes
people
feel
like
we
have
to
have
these
large
programs
or
these
major
initiatives
in
order
to
create
change,
but
sometimes
it's
really
just
getting
people
in
the
room
and
talking
about
those
ugly
truths
and
then
how
do
we
move
forward
from
it?
I
make
sure
that
I
always
give
my
cell
phone
number
I'm
a
call
away
and
whatever
our
community
members,
whatever
situations
or
problems,
particularly
particularly
pertaining
to
police,
that
they
come
into.
They
know
that
and
they
call
me
I'm
on
it.
D
A
So
let
me
ask
you
another
question:
you
just
kind
of
talk
a
little
deeper
around,
what's
happening
with
the
the
murder
of
Greg
Floyd,
and
just
how
you
know,
people
in
the
black
community
and
just
our
broader
communities
are
feeling
like
what
what
are
you
getting
from
how
people
are
feeling
like
how
you
know
we
see
how
people
are
expressing
themselves,
whether
peaceful
or
otherwise,
but
just
to
really
tap
into
the
feelings
of
where
people
are.
What
are
you
getting
that
people.
D
Are
saying
see
me
hear
me
respect
me
I'm,
a
part
of
this
community
and
there
is
a
big
difference
with
how
blacks
are
treated
in
in
our
community
nationwide,
and
this
is
just
another
example
of
a
man
losing
his
life
in
a
way
that
he
did
not
deserve
to,
and
we
often
feel
like,
and
we
because
I
feel
this
way
as
well.
Would
that
have
happened
if
he
was
not
a
black
man?
That
is
a
question
that
rains
throughout
all
of
our
communities.
D
What
that
have
happened
if
he
was
not
a
black
man,
and
why
are
we
treated
differently
and
that's
how
people
are
feeling
and
they
want
to
know
why?
But
then
we
dig
deeper
into
our
systems,
and
you
know
when
again
out
in
the
community,
our
pleas
are
kind
of
the
face
of
those
systems,
although
our
policymakers,
our
judges,
those
who
make
laws
they're
kind
of
internal
in
the
system,
you
know
and
our
police
get
it
get
it
the
worst
because
they
are
the
outward
facing.
D
You
know
body
of
the
system
they're
the
group
that
the
community
has
the
most
access
to,
and
so
when
you're,
angry
and
you're
frustrated
out
of
system,
you
you
voice
that
frustration
to
the
part
of
the
system
that
you
have
the
most
access
to,
and
so
you
know
this
is
going
to
continue.
Unfortunately,
until
we
have
our
our
elected
officials
and
our
policy
makers
actually
stand
up
to
say:
hey
community
I'm
with
you,
this
is
wrong.
We
won't
tolerate
this
anymore.
A
Thank
you
thank
you,
and
one
of
the
things
I
want
to
say
kind
of
coming
off
of
that,
but
I
also
wanna,
share
and
we'll
talk
about,
because
there's
some
questions
coming
up
in
the
chat
is
I.
Think
you
pointed
to
the
conversation
around
systems,
and
and
often
people
will
frame
things
as
oh,
that
individual
who
did
something
right
or
this
thing
that
happen
over
here
movie
started
looking
over
time.
You
start
to
see
what
continues
to
happen
in
a
particular
manner.
Then
it's
not
an
individual.
A
It's
actually
a
system
of
how
these
things
are
structured
and
then
in
line.
It
also
has
to
be
a
system
of
how
we
respond
to
them.
So
I
think
that's
one
of
the
challenges.
It's
like
easier,
like
you,
said,
to
do
a
big
program
or
to
do
something
visual
or
signaling
about
change
versus
actually
doing
the
work
to
work
on
the
systems
that
actually
can
save
someone's
life.
A
If
it's
not
choking
back
so
cold
or
you
know
the
variety
of
things
that
can
be
done,
I
think
those
are
the
tangible,
practical,
systemic
changes
that
are
really
important.
One
more
question
and
I'll
go
down
the
line
if
people
want
to
be
able
to
get
in
contact
with
the
community
response
unit
and
engage
with
yourself
and
commander
Holmes
and
sergeant
Klein
Casta,
what
would
be
the
best
way
for
folks
to
reach
out.
D
All
of
our
emails
are
probable.
At
least
I
know
for
the
admin
staff
on
Public
Safety.
All
of
our
emails
are
on
the
city
website.
My
fault,
my
office
number
is
for
1
to
255
to
374
people
call
me
all
the
time
if
I'm
not
there,
you
will
find
that
my
cell
phone
number
is
on
my
voicemail,
because
I'm
probably
out
in
the
field
or
hindering
an
issue
but
I
always
tell
people
like
I'm,
accessible.
A
No
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
that.
I.
Think
again,
part
of
the
part
of
this
challenge
is
how
are
people
being
seen
in
being
felt
and
being
responded
to
and
and
making
sure
that
it's
real
and
not
just
for
the
sake
of
it
being
says
so.
Thank
you,
director,
commander,
Holmes
I've
won
to
get
a
time
to
you
know.
A
E
I've,
been,
you
know,
we're
suffering
as
a
nation
and
locally
from
history.
The
criminal
justice
system
in
history,
law
enforcement-
you
know,
has
been
put
in
that
a
curious
situation
of
enacting
and
enforcing
unjust
laws
to
separate
us,
like
Jim,
Crow,
Black,
Codes
separate-but-equal,
we're
two
gatekeepers
to
the
criminal
justice
system.
E
There's
a
relationships
back
with
the
community,
and
you
know
there
has
to
be
trust
because
relationships
are
built
at
the
speed
of
trust
and
in
terms
of
history.
Every
police
officer
in
this
country
has
a
partner
and
not
partner,
is
to
history
of
this
country,
the
good,
the
bad
and
the
ugly,
and
so
people
are
frustrated.
You
know:
I
came
into
law
enforcement
because
I
had
a
negative
interaction
with
a
suburban
police
officer
and
I
thought
that
maybe,
if
I
could
you
know
change
from
within
I
joined
the
ranks?
A
Thank
you
for
that.
I
think
it's
important
to
kind
of
bring
that
space
of
history
up,
because
it's
difficult
to
have
these
conversations
without
a
historical
context.
Is
it's
it's
difficult
to
be
able
to
talk
about
moving
forward
without
a
historical
context
of
you
know?
What
is
this?
The
space
around
the
unjust
criminal
justice
system,
the
engagement
where
there
are
times
where
law
enforcement
has
has
overreached
and
had
clearly
negative
impacts
on
people,
and
then
we
have
a
time
now
where
people
are
saying
in
protest
that
listen.
A
What's
the
importance
of
those
things
and
communities
to
kind
of
head
off
issues
before
they
happen,
and
and
and
how
do
you
continue
that
trust
and
keep
that
trust
that
commander
Holmes
talked
about,
which
is
you
know,
the
quality
of
the
relationship
is
going
to
be
as
high
as
the
quality
of
trust.
So
how
do
we
continue
to
build
that
trust,
not
only
in
times
when
everything's
going?
Okay,
but
even
in
times
when
we're
having
challenges
on
the
ground
of
protests
and
things
going
on
that
may
compromise,
peace
and
safety.
F
Thank
you
for
inviting
me
to
speak.
The
rule
of
community
resource
officers
and
neighborhood
resource
officers
is
to
build
relationships
with
the
communities
that
they
serve.
The
neighborhood
resource
officers
is
a
little
more
specific.
The
community
resources
resource
officers.
It
would
be
the
entire
zone,
build
relationships
with
the
community
leaders,
get
to
know
your
community.
The
specific
needs
challenges
of
those
communities
and
then
offer
resources
and
be
helpful
to
those
communities
to
keep
them
safe
and
also
to
help
them
meet.
F
As
far
as
right
now
let
those
CRO
s
and
n
ro
s
and
and
all
officers
for
that
matter
can
do
to
start
building
trust
I
know
on
Monday
or
Tuesday
Wednesday.
Every
day
this
week,
I've
been
reaching
out
to
my
friends
and
the
community
and
telling
them
I,
love
them
and
I,
hear
them.
I
see
them,
I
see
what's
happening
and
when
we're
not
gonna
stand
by
silently
where
we
were
here
to
make
change
like
we,
we
must
make
change
within
the
institutions
that
rule
us
and
policing
is
one
of
those.
F
A
I
wanted
to
just
ask
a
follow-up
question.
There
is:
how
do
you
bring
that
voice?
I
mean
you're
you're,
really
with
people
you're
sitting
you're
listening
and
as
we've
heard
a
couple
times,
they
were
people
being
seen
and
people
really
being
heard,
especially
when
traditionally
they
are
populations
who
don't
get
seen
in
her.
A
You
know
how
do
you
take
that
voice
of
things
that
you're
hearing
and
bring
it
back
to
your
fellow
officers
and
fellow
community
and
community
and
resource
officers
to
really
make
sure
that
we're
being
as
holistic
as
possible
with
how
we
engage
with
our
residents
and
engage
with
those
who
may
be
concerned
with
the
cause?
Who
may
or
may
not
be
our
residents
but
they're
concerned
with
the
cause?
That
is
important,
like
the
killing
of
workflow.
F
Well,
I
think
the
first
thing
we
have
to
do
is
remember
our
humanity
and
be
empathetic
and
also
just
be
very
active
listeners,
really
listen
to
what
people
are
saying
and
don't
try
to
explain
it
away.
You
don't
have
to
have
an
answer,
in
fact,
sometimes
just
admitting
that
we're
working
towards
an
answer
opens
the
conversation
up
to
go
deeper.
A
Know
that
that's
helpful,
because
I
do
think
you
know
the
idea
of
people
being
seen
and
being
empathetic
and
being
present.
It's
something
that
we
often
hear
in
other
spaces
and
around
equity,
but
we
often
don't
hear
it
in
public
safety
per
se.
So
I
want
to
salute
you
and
thank
you
for
you
bringing
that
to
this
work
and
you're,
bringing
that
mentality
to
this
work
and
helping
us,
and
so
many
others,
Reverend
Jones
I,
want
to
want
to
bring
you
into
this
dialogue.
G
So
you
know
one
of
the
key
words
that
we're
hearing
over
and
over
again
is
relationships.
I'm,
gonna
believer
that
90
percent
of
this
thing
is
gonna
be
relationships.
That's
the
relationship
we've
built
through
the
community
and
through
working
with
key
stakeholders
me
key
stakeholders
in
the
community.
That
has
really
helped
us
through
this
time.
You
know
people
want
to
be
heard,
listen
I
want
to
be
heard.
You
know,
I
mean
I
want
to
be
heard.
G
I
want
my
voice
to
be
heard
and
I
want
my
voice
to
be
respected
in
a
lot
of
ways.
You
know
through
the
traumas
of
I've,
seen
stuff
like
this
happening
over
and
over
again.
If
people
weren't
heard
you
know
a
lot
of
times,
people
will,
you
know
make
sure
that
they
do
what
they
need
to
do
to
be
heard.
I
think
having
conversations
building
conversations
is
key.
G
You
know,
I
believe
that
people
want
peace
in
the
city,
but
I
also
believe
that
it's
gonna
take
people
sitting
down,
as
sergeant
Kosta
said,
and
having
a
conversation
so
that
they
see
that
everybody
at
the
table
is
real
or
a
human.
We
all
want
to
go
home
and
we
all
want
a
peaceful,
Pittsburgh.
I
think
those
are
some
of
the
key
things
that
people
want.
People
are
hurting
and,
let's
just
be
a
lot
of
traumas.
G
What
we're
in
a
situation
where
we
just
we
were
dealing
with
kovat
19
and
we're
still
dealing
with
Cova
19.
We
can't
even
forget
about
that
all
this
stuff.
It's
been
a
build-up
and
it's
almost
like
in
a
lot
of
ways
that
that
you
put
your
shaking
in
a
pop-can
and
it's
getting
bigger
and
bigger,
and
in
the
you
know
in
just
the
the
George
Floyd
situation,
Julie
just
took
it
to
a
whole
nother
level.
G
You
know
a
whole
nother
level,
so
it's
very
important
for
us
to
be
consistent
with
what
we're
doing
on
a
regular
basis,
not
just
listening
till
now,
but
listening
to
people
on
a
regular
basis,
letting
them
know
that
they're
loved,
but
also
letting
people
feel
empowered,
empowered
to
a
point
where
they
see
their
role
and
counteracting.
What's
going
on.
You
know
when
I
spoke
at
a
rally
recently,
I
said
every
single
person
here
has
a
role
now
the
protesting.
You
know
what
I
mean
on
the
streets
is
one
way.
G
I
said
what
what
about
the
attorneys
that
are
in
here?
What
about
the
people?
Who
you
know
a
lady
came
up
to
me
and
she
said
I
don't
want
to
get
involved
in
stopping
some
of
the
things
that
are
going
on.
She
started
talking
about
the
gifts
and
talents
that
she
does
at
her
job.
I
said
man,
that's
a
way
for
us
to
work
together
to
be
able
to
counteract
the
things
that
are
going
on
in
the
in
the
communities
in
brutality
and
just
community
violence
on
a
regular
basis.
A
Know,
thank
you
thank
you,
and,
and
thank
you
for
kind
of
bringing
that
to
bear
of
the
reality
that
you
know
as
much
as
all
of
us
we're
dealing
with
Public
Safety.
We
want
the
best
for
everyone
that
we
see.
Some
of
these
things
are
our
responses
to
what's
happening
in
community
and
what
has
has
been
happening
in
collective
trauma
that
I
think
we
need
to
recognize
and
kind
of
call
out,
because,
if
not
you
don't
call
it
out
around
the
collective
trauma,
you
know.
Obviously,
we've
had
some
things
have
been
happening
over.
A
You
know
in
Pittsburgh
during
this
week
that
we're
all
still
trying
to
to
work
through
and
make
sure
that
we're
looking
at
ourselves,
individually
and
collectively
and
thinking
how
we
can
best
serve
everyone
and
I
know
that
that
song,
something
that
is
that
more
will
become
to
talk
about
that
in
the
future,
and
so
I
I
do.
But
that's
why
I
want
to
bring
everyone
together
to
talk
about?
How
do
we
need
to
be
acknowledged?
Where
are
our
blind
spots
acknowledge?
Where
our
challenges
acknowledge?
A
In
conjunction
with
organizations
that
have
really
stepped
up
to
the
task
and
also
I
got
to
say
conjunction
with
organizations
that
have
been
doing
this
work
on
the
ground,
I'd
be
remiss
if
we
didn't
talk
about
the
folks
who
have
been
working
on
this
recently
that
have
been.
You
know
really
forwarding
this
work
so
so
mayor.
What
one
thing
I
would
ask
you
is
just
basically
you
know
in
every
city,
people
are
going
through
this,
and
then
you
talk
to
your
other
mayor's.
But
what
are
you?
What
are
you
optimistic
about?
B
B
My
optimism
is
based
on
the
support
that's
coming
from
within
the
Police
Bureau,
not
just
here
in
Pittsburgh,
but
as
you
see
around
the
country,
mice
optimism
comes
from
the
conversations
with
corporate
and
labor
leadership
and
realizing
they
have
a
role
in
this,
the
it's
not
that
they,
you
know
can't
say
we're
not
a
part
of
that.
If
you're
a
part
of
the
community,
you
have
to
realize
that
racism
is
real
and
that
there
are
things
that
we
can
do
to
change.
B
As
you
said,
the
system,
it's
if
you're
following
a
trend,
then
you
know
that
there
are
things
in
place
that
caused
that
trend.
It
is
an
outcome
of
what
the
system
is
and
we
have
the
ability
to
change
that
system.
Now.
The
legislation
that's
in
Harrisburg
is
absolutely
essential
to
be
passed
in
order
to
change
that
system.
We
are
obligated
to
follow
rules
and
laws
created
in
Harrisburg
that
many
times
disallow
us
from
doing
the
changes
number
one
that
we
know.
B
We
need
and
number
two
that
we
can
build
the
support
with
the
rank-and-file
in
order
to
be
supportive
of
that
change
as
well.
But
it
stopped
because
of
laws
in
Harrisburg.
Now,
here's
the
worst
part
about
that
that
traditionally,
those
laws
when
they
have
been
offered
have
only
received
the
sponsorship
of
our
black
elected
officials
in
a
handful
of
white
elected
officials,
and
that
is
in
its
in
its
self
model
of
racism.
B
I
have
optimism
that,
because
of
the
traction
that
you're
seeing
today
because
of
the
wide
support
that
it's
getting
in
all
corners
of
the
community,
that
because
the
people
are
saying
that
our
black
neighbors
and
our
brothers
and
sisters
have
been
given
a
raw
deal
for
400
years,
that
over
the
course
of
these
next
four
months
will
see
systemic
change.
Systemic
change
throughout
this
country
and
I
haven't
been
able
to
say
that
in
the
25
years
that
I've
worked
for
city
government.
B
In
fact,
the
year
that
I
came
in
1995
was
the
year
that
Johnny
Gammage
was
killed
and
back
then,
what
we
heard
was
an
echo
chamber
of
the
same
voices
calling
for
change
and
very
few
people
standing
behind
them
to
make
it
happen.
Today
you
have
the
people
standing
behind
it
and
we've
got
to
make
it
happen.
A
Thank
you
mayor
you,
for
that.
That's
that's
a
touch
on
that
as
we
get
as
we
close
is
anyone
else
just
something
that
you're
optimistic
about
as
we
move
forward
acknowledging
our
challenges,
acknowledging
the
kind
of
consistent
nature
and
in
the
pernicious
nature
of
how
race
and
racism
rears
his
head
around
sexism
and
sexism
razors
head
ground
bias
around
the
LGBT
community,
how
it
rears
his
head
and
shifts
you
know
what
are
we
really?
You
know
what
what
are
we
optimistic
about?
What
do
we
think
green
things
can
how
you
change
if.
C
You
don't
mind:
I'll
I'll,
go
I,
just
joy
to
me.
I
think
this
is
struck
to
the
heart
of
everyone
across
the
country
of
what
happened
and
as
we
said,
it
should
have
never
happened
and
we
I
think
it's
is
kind
of
a
go
with
what
the
the
the
Mayor
was
saying.
This
will
force
change.
This
will,
because
everybody's
going
to
be
on
the
same
page,
to
do
it.
Will
it
be
easy
everywhere?
No,
but
I
think
if
we
all
work
together
and
look
at
everything
we
do
is
for
everyone.
C
We
have
90
communities
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
Everybody's
got
to
be
treated
the
same
in
if
everybody
would
just
treat
people
with
you
know,
kindness
and
decency
how
much
better
this
world
would
be
and
I
consider
I'm
a
I
consider
with
if
I'm
listening,
I'm
learning
so
I'd
rather
be
listening
than
than
talking.
That's,
why
I
enjoy
listening
to
people
and
getting
their
thoughts,
something
I'm
blessed
to
have
Eric,
Tiffany,
tara,
cornell
and
a
bunch
of
others
in
the
police
department,
and
I'm
optimistic
that
there's
so
much
more?
A
Thank
you
there's
anyone
I
mean
you
know.
One
thing
one
thing
I'll
say
in
closing:
is
that
I
think
one
of
our
challenges
is
often
we
try
to
solve
systemic
problems
with
one
solution.
We
try
to
use
a
silver
bullet
solution.
You
try
to
solve.
You
know:
police
killings
of
innocent
folks
with
one
way
to
do
it,
but
it
shows
today
that
we
need
to
use
Public
Safety.
We
need
to
use
community
that
everyone
has
to
come
together
to
identify
these
things
and
push
for
the
needed
things
in
their
systems.
A
I
think
we
shouldn't
be
confused,
as
systems
need
to
be
pushed
right,
and
we
know
a
lot
of
our.
Our
organizers
and
activists
here
in
the
city
for
years
have
been
pushing
for
things,
and
it
has
resulted
in
some
positive
change
and
working
as
a
result
and
positive
change,
and
it
will
need
in
that
kind
of
positive
tension
and
I'm
going
to
call.
It
will
continue
to
need
to
be
there
because
folks
on
the
ground
are
folks
of
Public.
A
Safety
are
on
the
ground,
but
we're
really
trying
to
create
a
space
where
people
can
feel
safe.
People
can
feel
seeing
people
can
make
sure
that
they
go
home
at
night
and
that
you
know
kind
of
really
going
back
to
my
original
point
that
you
know
that
my
work
around
broader
equity
agendas
is
all
for
naught
if
fundamentally
I
or
my
son
or
my
father
or
anyone
who
looks
like
me,
you
know
and
does
not
a
gender
base,
but
those
kind
of
things
that
they
don't
feel
safe
going
home.
A
Then
the
equity
work
that
we're
talking
about
can
bring
hollow
and
I
know.
Everyone
on
the
on
the
conversation
today
does
not
want
that
to
ring
hollow,
there's
a
lot
of
information
being
shared
and
in
the
chat
you
know,
director
Murphy
shared
her
information
and
what
email
addresses
will
make
sure
that
those
email
addresses
get
shared.
If
people
need
a
line
of
communication
to
be
able
to
get
things
to
us,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
I
know
the
desperate
challenge
where
folks
have
been
saying:
okay.
A
Well,
how
do
I,
how
do
I
get
in
contact
if
I
think
something
has
has
happened?
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
line
of
communication
is
open
and
also
I
want
to
say,
there's
part
of
my
brother's
keeper
work
and
the
President
Obama's
challenge
yesterday
that
the
my
brother's
keeper
work
led
by
Josiah
killer
and
will
will
continue
to
go
on
and
will
continue
to
have
these
conversations
wit
folks
in
public
safety
and
do
some
deeper
dives.
B
Can
I
say
one
thing,
there's
all
included.
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
putting
together
this
series
and
to
those
that
are
still
watching
I.
Ask
you
to
watch
the
previous
episodes
of
this
series
that
deal
with
a
whole
multitude
of
issues
regarding
social
equity
in
Pittsburgh,
and
we
need
to
adopt
them
all,
not
just
the
on
the
police
reform
alone,
but
unless
we're
dealing
with
the
core
issues
of
poverty
unless
we're
dealing
with
disparities
in
education
in
health
care.
B
Unless
we're
dealing
with
all
of
the
different
issues
that
this
series
covers,
we'll
never
really
get
to
see
that
Pittsburgh
that
we
want
to
see
and
that's
what
I
want
to
leave.
The
people
who
are
still
watching
with
this
is
the
team.
These
are
the
leaders
of
our
administration.
They
come
to
work
every
single
day
to
work
on
keeping
you
safe
in
building
out
a
city
that
is
truly
for
all.
B
These
are
the
people
that
feel
every
morning
when
they
wake
up
happy
because
they
have
that
voice
and
that
job
in
order
to
get
those
things
done,
and
it's
a
team
that
wants
to
work
with
you.
We
are
interested
in
your
ideas,
we're
interested
in
being
able
to
build
out
plans
at
the
community
level
and
then
help
to
spread
them
throughout
this
there's
a
lot
of
stress
right
now
and
it's
hurting
a
lot
of
people.
The
last
thing
that
we
need
to
do
is
hurt
each
other.
B
We
need
to
find
a
way
in
order
to
pull
each
other
up
during
this
difficult
time
and
not
allow
it
to
divide
us.
Our
team
is
here
to
do
just
that.
Our
public
safety
officials,
everyone
down
to
the
officer
that
you
see
on
the
street
right
up
to
working
into
this
office
and
working
directly
with
the
chief
everyone
wants
to
be
able
to
help
you.
It
may
feel
overwhelming
right
now
and
you
may
feel
that
the
world
is
out
of
control
and
that
we
can't
even
change
things
in
our
own
country.
B
But
I
can
assure
you
this.
We
can
change
things
in
Pittsburgh
this
little
piece
of
land,
this
little
dot.
We
can
make
it
the
type
of
city
that
you
want
to
live
in
the
type
of
city
that
you
want,
your
children
to
grow
in
the
type
of
city.
That's
here
for
everyone,
we
ask
you
to
join
us
and
work
with
us
to
help
bring
about
that
change.
It
will
only
happen
that
way
by
working
together.
