Understand
Vanessa
had
a
dear
friend
who
passed
away
so
she's
taken
a
couple
of
days
off
I'm,
so
sorry
and
Jennifer's
with
us
here
today.
I,
don't
know
if
council
members
seeking
have
you
found
on
you,
I
am
I
I
am
here,
although
I'm
not
sure
how
long
my
signals
gonna
last
okay.
Well,
thank
you
for
coming.
Thank
you.
What
does
your
I
kind
of
thought
we'd
meet
this
morning
to
get
this
out
to
the
public,
but
I
think
they
know
what
we're
considering
so
they
could
make
plans
accordingly.
H
B
B
H
Here
look.
Thank
you.
For
this
day,
we
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
make
our
city
whole
again.
We
ask
that
you
be
with
it.
Keep
us
strong,
keep
is
faithful
help
us
always
act
in
the
way
that
you
would
help
us
be
shepherds
and
and
help
us
lead.
The
flock,
as
as
your
greatest
Shepherd
Jesus
Christ
did
for
us,
ask
us,
represent
our
people.
Oh
look
out
for
their
best
interests
at
all
these
things
in
your
name,
amen.
B
Matters
we've
been
experiencing
lately
so
and
chief
Reynolds
are
you
on
the
line
or
you
were
in
attendance
here?
Maybe
not
yet
so
he's
supposed
to
join
us
shortly
and
he'll
be
available
for
questions
and
give
a
report,
but
I
will
share
with
you
and
I
think
we
all
saw
that
last
night.
Surely,
when
a
heck
of
a
lot
better
than
Saturday
night,
we
had
appropriate
resources
in
place
with
thanks
again
to
our
many
partners,
including
thankful
to
Governor
McMaster
for
activating
the
National
Guard.
They
got
here
last
evening
about
seven
times.
B
B
Don't
have
confirmation
of
this,
but
it's
a
chairman.
Somebody
told
me
that
he
believed
Dorchester
County
was
as
well
apparently
that
some
notices
have
gone
out
on
social
media
for
some
demonstrations
to
occur
in
the
tri-county
region
outside
of
the
city
of
Charleston
late
this
afternoon
and
this
evening.
So
there's
they're
still
anticipation
of
some
activity
this
evening.
So
once
again,
I
think
it
would
be
wise
for
us
to
have
a
curfew.
B
How,
when
I
woke
up
this
morning,
as
as
we
discussed
yesterday,
I
felt
that
limiting
it
to
the
peninsula
would
be
appropriate
for
us,
but,
as
you
saw
what
we
did
yesterday
afternoon,
when
the
county
did
the
whole
county,
it
didn't
make
a
lot
of
sense.
That
County
had
a
curfew
in
parts
of
our
city
and
we
didn't
and
you
get
into
jurisdictional
and
legal
matters
so
when,
when
up
above
does
an
action
that
we're
congruent
with
it's
good
to
be
in
sync
with
them.
So
we
can.
H
I
B
I
J
B
B
B
J
Just
have
a
like
kind
of
logistical
ysou,
Berkeley
County's
curfew
goes
into
effect
at
8:00
p.m.
whereas
city
of
Charleston
is
6:00
p.m.
and
you
know
I
understand
right
now
we're
just
doing
peninsula,
but
then,
if
we
wind
up
expanding
it
to
the
entire
city,
like
we
did
yesterday,
how
does
that
impact
the
portions
of
the
city
inside
of
Berkeley
County?
Would
we
fall
under
the
six
o'clock
or
the
eight
o'clock?
Well.
B
I
Susan
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
I,
think
I
would
have
the
authority
to
split
it
and
say
that
when
we
expand
expand,
expand
the
boundary
to
the
whole
city
that
the
portion
of
Charleston
County
be
congruent
with
Charles
time
and
which
I
believe
will
be
6
o'clock
and
that
Berkeley
County
section
be
congruent
with
the
Berkeley
County
order
of
eight
o'clock.
Is
that
okay,
that's
correct,
yeah?
Okay,
that's
what
I
would
do?
Okay!
Thank
you!
Jack's,
Jackson
and
Zachary.
Thank.
K
You
I
know:
we've
already
voted
on
the
six
o'clock
start
and
I
personally,
don't
think
I
have
any.
You
know,
disagreement
with
that,
but
I'm
sure
all
of
us
at
least
one
or
two
notes
from
restaurant
owners
in
particular,
who
were
hoping
that
we
could
move
this
curfew
start
time
back
to
eight.
So
I
didn't
realize
that
Berkeley
it
was
making
that
decision.
K
I,
guess,
I'd
appreciate
you
and
the
chief
just
for
the
record,
helping
us
explain
why
we
think
six
is
that
much
better
because
it
really
does
cut
off
any
opportunity
for
people
to
be
in
a
restaurant
in
a
neighborhood
that
is
essentially
safe,
or
at
least
you
know
so
far
into
the
whole
scene.
So
if
you
could
just
give
us
the
understanding,
so
we
can
continue
to
support
you
on
that.
So.
B
I
mean
it
pretty
simply
stated
bad
things
more
likely
happen
after
dark
and
and
I
saw
I
watch
very
carefully
on
Saturday
night
when,
when
the
curfew
went
into
effect,
that
it
took
a
good
hour
so
before
it
seemed
really
take
hold,
and
so
I
think
you
need
some
lead
time
before
dark
so
that
that
would
be.
That
was
our
thinking
to
make
it
six
o'clock.
To
be
honest
with
you.
B
I'm
certainly
respectful
that
the
folks
and
businesses
that
this
whole
matter
business-wise
is
hurting
the
most
or
or
those
who
were
hurting
already
the
most
and
it's
it's
really
a
sad
situation
and
we
want
to
be
as
helpful
to
them
as
possible.
I,
you
know
going
forward.
If,
if
we
have
another
night,
that's
calm
and
quiet
I.
In
the
event,
we
had
further
curfews,
but
we
would
certainly
could
consider
moving
it
back.
A
little
bit
council
member
erics,
Akron
Thank.
L
You
mayor
thanks,
Councilwoman
Jackson,
that
was
part
one
of
my
question:
is
it
possible
or
do
we
know
the
likelihood
of
another
curfew
tomorrow,
they're
just
trying
to
schedule
their
staff
and
trying
to
figure
out
their
operations?
So
are
we
like
and
and
they're
fine
with
another
curfew?
They
just
want
to
know.
B
Well,
I
advanced
for
that
information
before
this
meeting,
but
apparently
they
haven't
compiled
it
all
a
sled,
as
is
helping
us
with
that
aspect
of
it.
I
did
it
here.
While
I
was
at
the
police
station
last
night
on
I
guess
it
was
the
initial
ten
folks
that
had
been
arrested
that
the
majority
were
from
the
metro
area
of
the
ten,
but
only
two
were
actually
city
of
Charleston
residents.
There
was
a
New
York
address
from
one,
but
the
rest
were
spread
across
the
tri-county
area.
B
Thank
you,
but
it's
that's
just
a
sample
and
and
and
I
hope.
By
the
end
of
the
day,
we
would
have
more
complete
information
on
all
those
arrests
that
have
been
made
so
far
again,
probably
indicative
that
there's,
the
vast
majority
of
them
are
from
the
tri-county
area,
but
not
from
the
city
of
Charleston.
H
The
only
way
that
we're
going
to
get
faith
back
in
our
in
our
community,
down
on
King
Street
and
in
our
residence
is
to
show
that
we're
going
to
be
diligent
and
continuing
to
not
just
make
arrests
by
the
people
who
are
rioting
on
the
night
of,
but
following
up
with
some
of
our
some
of
these
dastardly
cases,
but
people
that
have
police
cars
on
fire
and
totally
demolished
our
places.
Nothing
I
would
just
look
here.
H
What
our
game
plan
is
to
go
after
some
of
these
guys
and
I
personally
I'm
happy
to
assist
in
any
way.
I.
Can
you
know
I
the
guys
address
his
mug
shot.
He's
got
him
on.
We
need
to
get
this
guy
arrested
and
get
his
bond
revoked.
It's
ridiculous
that
they
can
post
Facebook,
live
videos
to
them
breaking
in
our
stores
and
mock
us
and
still
be
out
with
no
punishment
a
couple
days
later,
so
anything
I
could
do
to
help
I'm
happy
to.
We
got
to
get
guys
behind
bars
immediately.
B
Absolutely
our
investigators
are
on
a
sled
is
working
with
us
as
I
mentioned
a
minute
ago.
Even
the
FBI
is
working
with
us
just
because
someone
didn't
get
arrested,
Saturday
night
doesn't
mean,
by
any
stretch
of
the
imagination
that
they
won't
be
arrested.
We
are
collecting
video
and
other
evidence
from
business
owners.
The
College
of
Charleston
had
some
that
they
offered
us
and
and
I'm
by
way
of
this
meeting.
B
If
anybody
wants
to
share
with
the
public,
if
you've
got
any
information
leading
to
the
arrest
of
any
perpetrator
from
from
the
weekend,
please
please
turn
it
over
to
our
police
department.
We
will
use
it,
we
will
pursue
it,
we
will
make
arrests
and,
as
I
mentioned
yesterday
and
we're
taking
every
effort,
we
will
not
tolerate
this
kind
of
looting
and
violence
going
forward.
Temple.
H
D
Mr.
mayor
and
members
of
council,
the
chief
made
it
abundantly
clear
at
the
press
conference
on
Sunday
exactly
what
the
mayor
just
said.
They
are
receiving
information,
they've,
got
surveillance,
videos
from
different
sources
and
folks,
and
they
will
follow
up
on
their
investigation
and
make
the
arrest
I
need
to
make.
We
need
to
let
the
police
do
their
police
work.
We
don't
need
to
be
telling
them
how
to
make
the
arrests
of
women
make
the
arrests.
Let
them
follow
up
on
the
proper
protocol
of
all
of
us.
That's.
H
B
F
In
and
I'll
do
respect
I
think
it's
very
important
that
a
lot
of
what
we're
talking
about
be
private
I,
don't
think
that
we
should
be
alerting
the
animators
we're
looking
for
them
and
I'm
sure
that
our
chief
is
going
to
be
thorough,
and
he
did
say
at
the
press
conference
that
it's
ongoing
investigations.
I
think
the
last
thing
that
we
need
to
do
as
a
council
in
this
public
forum
is
to
alert
the
enemy
as
to
what
our
strategy
is.
Thank
You.
Mr.
mayor.
B
C
B
All
right
any
other
questions
or
discussion
on
the
on
the
motion.
Hearing,
none
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
when
you
pose
the
eyes,
have
it
so
I
texted,
the
chief
but
the
N
replied
so
I
just
must
say
he
must
have
gotten
hung
up
and
not
able
to
join
right.
Now.
He
told
me
earlier
today
that
he'd
be
able
to
any
other
discussion
or
any
other
topics.
That
council
would
like
to
bring
up
councilmember,
Gregory
and
then
Sakura
I'd.
F
Yeah
I'm,
a
mere
I
understand
that
keeping
our
city
safe
continues
to
be
our
number
one
priority,
but
I
don't
want
us
to
forget
the
positive
nature
of
the
daytime
protests.
I
have
never
been
more
proud
of
our
city
when
I
observed
the
prop
that
that
that
earlier,
daylight
protests,
a
protest
that
was
multiracial,
multicultural,
multi-age,
multi
everything
I
am
never
been
more
proud
of
white
people
than
I
was
on
on
Saturday
when
I
observed,
the
March
with
the
chants
of
white
silence
is
violence
black
lives
matter.
We
are
one.
F
This
is
how
democracy
works,
I
think
somehow,
in
addition
to
making
our
city
safe,
we've
got
to
be
able
to
corral
that
positive
energy
that
positive
energy
that
was
displayed
by
all
stony
ins
on
Saturday
in
Sunday
and
Mayor.
You
made
a
very
impassionate
speech
on
yesterday,
and
one
of
the
things
that
you
talked
about
was
the
infrastructure
that
the
city
is
putting
in
place
to
address
many
of
the
in
justices
that
a
people
have
had
to
endure,
and
one
of
the
things
you
talked
about
was
our
apology
for
slavery.
F
I
think
it's
very
important
matter
that
our
person,
who
is
responsible
for
making
that
resolution
real
needs
to
be
a
part
of
the
conversation,
at
least
a
part
of
our
communications,
because
this
is
a
great
time.
Okay,
for
that
division,
to
not
only
talk
about
what
happened,
doing
doing
the
the
riots,
but
also
talk
about
what
is
happening
to
specific
people.
With
regard
to
the
coronavirus
be
able
to
tell
us,
you
know,
in
addition
to
working
with
Tracy,
okay,
where
we
may
have
shortcomings
in
certain
communities
that
may
need
testing.
F
Events,
because
I
do
think
that
at
some
point,
that
question
is
going
to
be
raised.
So
I'm
really
asking
there
that
somehow
we
put
that
division
of
that
office
into
the
mix
into
the
mix
of
perhaps
just
developing
a
white
paper
on
all
these
issues
and
saying
exactly
what
the
city's
position
is
with
regard
to
them.
I
don't
want
us
to
miss
this
window,
this
window,
to
me
of
an
unbelievable
display
of
positive
energy.
F
F
B
Comes
memory,
that's
a
point
well
taken
not
just
for
amber
Johnson,
but
for
as
a
collective
City,
and
you
know
we
coincidental,
maybe
I
was
reading
her
mind
or
maybe
you
were
reading
my
mind,
but
you
know
amber
works
in
the
legal
department
and
Susan
and
I
had
a
conversation
about
just
that
this
morning,
at
9:30
Susan.
Do
you
want
to
chime
in.
I
Yes,
sir,
so
we
talked
about
obviously
Amber's
position
and
how
she
could
be
so
helpful
in
putting
together
some
neighborhood
meetings
with
the
police
department
and
whoever
else
we
think
appropriate
to
sit
down
and
and
have
some
discussions
with
neighborhoods.
As
everybody
knows,
Amber
is
our
diversity
manager
and
has
been
very
helpful
to
our
efforts
over
the
last
years
since
she's
joined
us.
I
B
B
K
I,
don't
have
anything
additional
to
say:
I
just
want
to
thank
councilmember
Gregory,
while
we're
all
here
together
and
we
have
so
many
people
from
the
public.
Many
of
us
have
had
these
offside
conversations,
people
who
are
white
black
and
among
ourselves.
It
live
into
the
of
the
apology
with
our
heart
and
soul,
so
Thank
You,
councilmember
Gregory.
Anything
you
need
for
me
to
help.
You
do
that
I'm
signing
up
right
now
with
my
push
broom,
okay,.
B
M
I'm
gonna
I'll
just
highlight
a
few
things,
because
I
think
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
in
a
lot
of
different
places
of
the
city
and
I.
Just
did
some
media
interviews
and
I
apologize
for
being
a
few
minutes
late,
but
I.
One
of
the
questions,
I've
heard
and
I'll
just
take
it
straight
on.
Is
the
mayor?
M
Give
you
a
stand
down
order
of
some
type
not
to
make
arrests
and
I
gotta
say
that
that's
one
of
the
most
preposterous
nonsensical
things
that
I've
ever
heard
in
my
life
I
can
promise
you
that
the
mayor
never
made
such
a
statement
to
me.
In
fact,
I
don't
know
anybody,
maybe
some
of
the
people
on
this
call
who
love
this
city
and
the
people
of
this
city.
M
More
than
our
mayor,
irregardless
of
how
people
may
feel
the
mayor
was
very
upset
about
what
was
going
on
was
very
engaged
and
very
much
by
my
side
as
needed
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
I
had
the
right
resources,
the
ability
to
make
the
right
decisions,
the
right
connections
at
the
state
level
and
any
other
things
that
I
needed
and
we
discussed
making
arrests
and
I
can
assure
you
he
wanted
to
make
arrests
more
than
anybody
else.
That
I've
talked
to
so
far.
M
I've
discussed
that
and
I'll
be
more
than
happy
to
answer
any
questions,
but
it's
not
as
simple
as
that
and
there's
a
lot
more
to
this.
But
I
just
want
people
to
know
that
that
was
not
an
accurate
depiction.
A
matter
of
fact.
It
couldn't
be
more
inaccurate
and
more
further
from
the
truth.
The
mayor
wanted
to
do
everything
and
everything
possible
to
support
us
and
keeping
the
city
safe
and
saving
lives
and
making
sure
nobody
burned
down.
M
Our
city
and
I
can
tell
you
he
was
probably
sicker
to
his
stomach
than
anybody
else
that
I
know
in
terms
of
the
property
damage
and
the
impact
on
our
businesses
and
everything
else
and
I.
Think
people
just
need
to
hear
that,
because
I
keep
hearing
that
message,
I,
don't
know
where
it's
coming
from,
but
it's
not
correct.
It's
not
accurate.
M
We
we
had
more
success
last
night,
but
I
can
tell
you
it
wasn't
an
uneventful
night
I
think
the
curfew
that
you
all
created
and
supported
and
enacted
served
its
purpose
in
a
few
different
ways:
one
it
got
people
out
of
the
city
that
really
got
caught
up
Saturday
night
right.
They
didn't
know
that
we
were
gonna,
have
those
events.
They
got
caught
up
innocent
people
that
really
had
no
idea
what
was
going
on
got
caught
up
in
that
riot
and-
and
that
was
a
problem
by
doing
the
curfew
and
doing
it
that
early.
M
We
knew
that,
if
people,
by
getting
the
message
out
by
by
doing
things
on
our
bullhorns
and
and
and
social
media
and
other
things,
if
somebody
was
left
in
the
city
at
some
point,
they
were
there
not
because
they
needed
to
be
there
or
because
they
had
a
purpose
right
and
those
are
the
same
people
and
some
of
the
same
faces
that
we
saw
creating
havoc
Saturday
night
and
so
the
curfew,
its
purpose.
It
was
helpful.
M
We
were
able
to
be
a
lot
more
proactive
in
an
environment
when
there's
a
lot
less
people,
a
lot,
less
good
people
in
terms
of
those
assemblies
and
gatherings,
and
and
so
we
were
able
to
give
multiple
warnings.
We
were
able
to
be
present.
We
were
elders,
show
people
and
talk
to
people,
and
many
people
left
as
a
result
of
that
even
of
the
groups
that
were
there
yesterday.
M
M
I'll
tell
you
just
one
of
them:
was
people
coming
over
the
ashley
bridge
to
lock
like
the
knock,
would
drive
after
the
curfew
and
they
had
a
bag
full
of
guns
in
their
car
and
they
had
no
business
being
in
the
city,
no
purpose
and
their
reason
to
become
an
end
of
the
peninsula,
and
that's
just
one
of
many
examples.
I
think
one
of
the
questions
Steve
said
that
came
up
earlier
in
the
discussion
was:
how
are
we
gonna
follow
up
on
these
things?
I
just
got
a
video
from
one
of
the
council
members.
M
Thank
you
for
sending
that
to
me,
and
others
have
sent
me
things
that
made
connections
to
other
business
owners
who
have
videos.
We
are
investigating
every
one
of
these
crimes.
We
will
be
placing
charges
as
we
speak.
Some
of
those
cases
are
of
people
that
were
arson
theft
and
looting
will
be
some
of
the
charges
that
would
be
placed.
I've
talked
to
my
federal
counterparts,
I've
spoken
to
Peter
McCoy's
office.
He
has
reached
out
to
me
the
US
Attorney
for
the
state
of
South.
Carolina
I
spoke
with
his
Pio
and
some
other
people.
M
This
morning,
I
spoke
with
John
Warrington,
who
is
the
FBI,
a
regional
area
director
and
to
the
degree
that
that
may
be
an
option.
We're
exploring
that
as
well
I'm,
not
saying
that
we're
gonna
have
anything
that
will
qualify
for
that,
but
all
of
our
partners
in
place
scarlet
Wilson,
has
reached
out
to
me.
I've
talked
to
mark
keel
chief
keel,
the
National
Guard
arrived
last
night.
M
We
have
the
assets
coming
our
way,
we
have
the
assistance
and
we
will
continue
to
investigate
every
one
of
these
leads
and
we
will
place
charges
in
every
one
of
these
cases.
I
will
tell
you,
there's
people
want
to
know
where
they're
coming
from
were
they
from
out
of
town
the
majority
of
the
people-
and
this
is
just
a
general
statement-
we're
still
investigating
this.
M
We
still
have
a
long
ways
to
go
and
the
anatomy
of
this
and
and
and
and
finalizing
and
getting
through
this,
but
we
do
know
that
most
of
the
people
that
were
here
creating
these
problems
that
we've
been
arresting
are
not
from
the
city.
Most
of
them
are,
though,
from
this
region
from
this
tri-county
area
and
some
are
from
out
of
town,
but
a
small
number
I
think
we're
gonna
find
her
from
out
of
town,
and
most
of
them
are
from
this
tri-county
region.
M
I
I'll
leave
it
at
that
and
I'll
answer
questions,
but
I
think
it's
important
that
our
city
knows
that
our
residents
know
that
we're
paying
attention
that
we
are
focused
on
honoring
and
respecting
people's
rights,
to
have
a
message
to
exercise
their
First
Amendment
to
embrace
and
honor.
The
Constitution
I
think
that's
what
America
is
all
about
has
allowing
people
to
be
heard.
We
did
that
with
a
peaceful
event
at
two
o'clock
on
Saturday.
We
will
continue
to
do
that.
I'll.
M
Just
reiterate
that
I
have
made
my
own
statement
about
the
fact
that
I
think
it's
deplorable.
What
happened
in
Minneapolis.
What's
happened
with
Aubrey
and
the
delays
and
making
arrests
in
Georgia
what
happened
with
a
the
the
gentleman
who
was
bird-watching
in
New,
York,
City
and
I
could
go
on
and
on
and
on
and
on
and
talk
about
institutional
racism
on
so
many
different
levels
in
our
city
and
in
our
in
our
state
and
in
our
nation
and
people
need
to
be
heard.
M
But
we
need
people
to
do
that
peacefully,
respectfully
and
without
destroying
our
city.
We
are
not
going
to
tolerate
that.
We're
gonna
try
to
work
and
honor
people's
rights,
but
at
the
same
time,
if
people
want
to
be
arrested,
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
make
the
arrest
at
a
time
of
our
choosing
in
a
place
in
a
way
of
our
choosing,
and
we
will
continue
to
do
that
until
we
are
successfully
through
this
crisis.
M
D
D
M
N
Thank
You
mr.
Mann
and
Thank
You
chief.
We
can
see
all
the
all
the
collaboration
from
the
different
legal
teams
and
legal
allies
I
mean
they
came
to
bear
yesterday
and
I
have
the
highest
degree
of
respect
pulling
that
together
and
certainly
want
to
thank
all
of
them
for
what
they've
done
and
certainly
will
do.
N
Councilman
Gregory
is
right.
This
approach
about
some
of
the
things
that
people
are
voicing
we
have
addressed
and-
and
this
is
a
good
opportunity
to
let
to
let
the
world
know
quite
frankly
if
they
were
willing
to
listen
of
some
of
the
steps
that
we've
taken
in
the
city
of
Charleston
again
with
the
audit,
this
audit
audit.
That
was
done,
what
done
as
a
result
of
unrest.
N
N
I
also
think
we
need
to
and
I
know.
Mr.
mayor,
we
all
know
he's
probably
on
the
call
but
I
think
when
we
stand
in
unison.
We
need
to
have
chief
Curiel
not
sitting
on
the
side,
but
those
first
responders
are
just
as
important.
Obviously
the
way
they
responded
in
coordination
with
obviously
quick
response
and
putting
out
the
fires
that
were
attempted
on
on
that
Saturday
night.
So
he's
a
key
factor
that
team
is
a
key
factor.
Hopefully
you
know
asking
for
other
help
from
other
allied
fire
responders.
N
I
hope
we
never
need
that,
but
just
in
case
I'm
sure
that
piece
would
be
in
places
so
kudos
chief
having
a
better
night
I
know,
moving
forward
with
the
six
o'clock
p.m.
today
make
sense,
and
thank
you
all
for
keeping
us
in
the
loop.
The
last
thing
I
want
to
say
mr.
Muir
is
I,
appreciate
you.
Involvement
involvement
in
this
I
appreciate
all
12
council
members
pushing
in
the
same
direction
because
they
are
those
and
the
chief
is
alluded
to
some,
but
the
others
out.
N
There
is
playing
from
the
monday-morning
playbook
and
that's
when
it
after
the
fact
everybody's
smart
after
the
fan.
No,
it
is
the
steps
you
take
if
they
can
tell
us
what's
gonna
happen
tomorrow
would
be
fabulous,
so
this
is
no
time
to
splinter.
This
is
the
time
to
get
informed,
as
our
chief
is
informing
us
and
the
mayors
and
formulas,
and
certainly
the
allies
to
the
process.
N
Chief
Carrillo
and
others.
You
know
Chief
sheriff
Cannon
and
all
we
are
all
on
the
same
page
and
trying
to
make
this
region
safe,
because
that's
what
we
really
talking
about,
if
you're
going
to
be
told
about
how
they
went
up
and
Tanger
Outlet
trying
to
do
the
same
thing
up
there
so
being
able
to
push
together
for
a
region
for
a
city
to
a
country,
frankly,
without
pointing
things
that
one
another
I'm
proud
of
each
and
every
one
ear.
N
B
Not
like
I
couldn't
agree
more.
The
cooperation
of
the
police
in
the
fire
department
has
been
really
remarkable
and
I
don't
know
if
chief
careers
online,
we
we
have
certainly
tried
at
every
public
announcement
to
share
that
fact,
and
and
if
but
for
the
the
training
and
courage
of
our
fire
departments,
Saturday
night
could
have
been
a
completely
different
result.
B
They
were
out
there
all
night
long
putting
that
little
fires
that
could
have
become
big
fires
right
and
I
was
down
at
the
Emergency
Operations
Center,
both
nights
and
there
we
personnel
from
the
fire
department
embedded
right
there
with
the
in
the
operation
center
and
there's
complete
communication
and
collaboration
going
on
between
the
two
departments.
It's
really
you
know
a
beautiful
thing
to
behold.
Councilmember.
A
Mitchell,
yes,
miss
Matt
I
like
to
greet
with
all
my
colleagues
with
your
saying
and
give
the
chief,
the
fire
department
and
all
our
first
responders
and
all
the
people
that
came
in
to
help
us
and
they
did
a
marvelous
job.
I
would
like
yesterday
and
drove
through,
and
you
know,
I
can't
stay
home
most
of
the
time
anyway.
A
So,
but
on
the
east
side,
as
you
know,
we
had
a
little
problem
with
the
fire
people
burning,
trying
to
block
up
American,
Street
and
I
watched
how
the
police
department
came
through,
but
somewhere
somewhere
down
the
line.
I,
don't
know
how
we
can
get
to
be
able
to
speak
to
these
young
people
even
in
the
city
of
Charleston,
letting
them
know
that
what
they're
doing
they're
hurting
themselves
because
my
take
on
it
and
they
might
get
angry
with
me.
A
A
Now,
it's
closed
again,
so
this
there's
a
desert
again,
so
they're
hurting
a
lot
of
people,
even
a
lot
of
seniors.
That's
over
there
that
now
I
have
to
try
to
suffer
back
down
to
Foodliner
harris-teeter
again.
So
all
these
things
we
are
playing
in
so
people
are
saying
a
whole
lot
of
things
on
the
air.
You
could
have
done
this
way.
You
could
have
done
that
way.
No
bond
can
project
what
gonna
happen
in
the
future.
If
I
had
know
that
I
could
to
try
to
stop
it
myself
and
you
couldn't
even
project
it.
A
L
L
L
Here
in
Charleston,
we've
had
the
tragedy
at
mother,
Emanuel,
killing
of
Walter
Scott
Michael,
Brown,
laQuan,
McDonald,
Freddie
gray,
Tamir,
rice,
volando,
Casteel,
Eric,
garner
armado,
berry
and
last
week's
despicable
killing
of
George
Floyd
and
their
more
I
said
last
night
and
had
to
Google
how
many
African
Americans
were
killed
and
justly
in
our
and
our
country,
and
the
list
goes
on
incident
after
incident
in
year
after
year.
Nothing
has
changed
and
let
me
be
clear:
those
that
killed
many
of
the
men
that
I
mentioned
have
served
no
time
and
no
justice
was
served.
L
So
my
point
is
when
you
couple
these
heinous
acts
with
a
bub
tensions,
we've
had
in
our
city
and
nation,
and
then
you
add,
the
national
pandemic
were
millions
of
people,
regardless
of
their
race,
have
simply
been
hurting
beyond
measure
I,
don't
see
how
Saturday
was
and
wasn't
one
off
the
fuse
was
ready
to
blow
and
I'm,
not
condoning
what
happened,
but
I
just
want
to
be
clear.
The
violence
we
saw
harnessed
in
our
city
was
despicable,
but
I
think
we
have
to
understand
that
that
was
language
that
we
heard.
L
That
was
anger
coming
from
folks,
and
maybe
these
folks
are
misplaced,
but
we
have
to
understand
that
that
came
from
a
place
of
utter
desperation.
I
think
we
have
an
opportunity.
As
councilman
Gregory
said,
we
have
an
opportunity
to
do
something,
but-
and
this
may
not
sound
popular
either-
a
lot
of
the
stuff
that
I
feel
like
we
are
trying
to
do
is
purely
symbolic
and
I.
Think
the
anger
and
frustration
needs
to
be
significant
policy
changes.
L
Anything
we
tried
to
do
symbolically
needs
to
be
attached
to
something
that
we
are
gonna
do
boldly
and
innovatively
as
a
city,
because
I
think
the
anger
and
frustration
comes
not
just
from
the
lack
of
injustice
on
the
criminal
side.
I
think
it
comes
from
economic
injustice
when
you
have
nothing
left,
I'm,
sorry,
smashing
buildings
and
getting
arrested
is
the
least
of
your
concerns
and
I
have
spoken
to
many
in
the
community
African
white,
young
and
old,
and
that
is
the
sentiment
that
I
continue
to
hear
and
that's
why
I
asked
the
question
early
police.
L
Tell
me
how
many
of
these
folks
were.
Outsiders
and
I
think
the
the
overwhelming
sentiment
earlier
in
the
weekend
was
we
had
some
outside
groups
coming
in
and
what
I'm?
What
I'm
hearing
is.
These
are
our
folks.
These
are
folks
that
live
in
our
region
and
it's
our
responsibility
to
make
sure
that
they're
heard
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
Councilman
Gregory
for
bringing
that
up,
but
I
think
we've
got
more
work
to
do
than
just
passing
ordinances
and
symbolic
measures
we
gotta
just
the
needs.
Thank
you.
Thank.
D
Shade
yeah
I
think
you
makes
I
had
deferred
to
the
chief
and
I
wanted
to
follow
up,
particularly
with
what
counselor
Gregory
had
brought
to
our
attention,
and
just
when
wearing
and
now
councilman,
sacra
and
Jackson
have
talked
about.
Unfortunately,
the
the
violence
on
Saturday
not
too
soft
track
a
little
bit.
D
We
need
to
have
people
walking
in
our
streets.
We
need
to
have
people
having
rallies
and
bringing
to
our
attention
the
lack
of
justice
that
many
of
our
citizens
feel
in
with
our
systems.
I
wanted
to
participate
Saturday
afternoon
at
two
o'clock
and
I
got
tied
up
with
a
client
at
my
office
and
I
heard
that
my
son
was
involved
in
that
he
participated
in
that,
and
it
was
you
said,
was
a
beautiful
fine
folks
need
to
be
heard.
Folks
need
to
need
to
express
themselves.
D
We've
had
a
series
of
events
that
have
taken
place
without
the
country
that
have
triggered
this
anger,
and
this
frustration
when,
when
George
Floyd's
face,
was
embedded
in
that
concrete
and
he
was
saying,
I
can't
breathe.
He
was
speaking
for
a
lot
of
people.
A
lot
of
people
feel
like
they
can't
breathe.
They
feel
like
they're
suffocated.
D
He
was
speaking
loudly
in
a
more
passionate
voice
that
ended
his
life,
unfortunately,
but
something
he
was
saying
resonated
to
me
and
I
think
to
a
lot
of
people
in
the
world
which
has
brought
out
I,
can't
breathe
and
I
think
that
the
counselor
Gregory
has
talked
does
mentioning
and
some
of
us
act
I
just
talked
about
as
we
need
to
hear
that
extremely
loud
and
clear
and
we
can
pass
orders
as
we
do
things
of
symbolic
nature.
But
we've
got
to
have
a
very
open
in
a
very
honest
discussion.
D
What
is
going
on
in
our
community,
and
we
have
got
to
come
up
with
very
concrete
strategic
ways
to
change
things
in
our
community.
We
back
in
back
in
many
years
ago
we're
talking
our
first
Earth
Day.
The
slogan
was
think
Lobley
act
locally,
but
we
can
apply
that
sort
of
same
kind
of
mentality
to
our
community.
We
had
the
plane
globally
what's
going
on
in
our
country
in
our
world,
but
we
have
to
start
acting
locally
to
make
those
changes
concrete,
and
we
need
to
have
this
discussion.
D
We
need
to
have
these
rounds,
we
need
to
have
these
marches
and
we
need
to
have
things
that
we're
doing
to
address
inequities
in
our
community
and
make
them
happen,
and
we
start
off
with
the
slave
apology
and
part
of
that
resolution
that
we
passed
on
some
of
those
concrete
changes
that
need
to
be
taking
place.
But
after
this
councillor
McGregor
pointed
out,
I
fortunately
got
sidetracked.
Sad,
ending
and
we've
been
reacting
to
the
riding
into
violence,
but
let's
not
let
that
get
us
off-track.
D
We
need
to
get
back
on
track
with
what
those
voices
are
saying
to
us.
We
need
to
hear
that
and
move
forward.
I
wish
I
had
the
answer
to.
How
did
we
start
all
that
process,
but
I'm
on
board
with
it
I
think
we
need
to
start
talking
about
that
and
getting
it
on.
Try
Susan
I'm
ready
whenever
you
want
to
bring
to
the
Public
Safety
Committee
we're
here
to
facilitate
that.
What's
working
on
that,
we
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
We've
got
so
much
on
our
plate,
I
know,
but
this
is.
D
N
N
Saturday
I'm
sorry
Sunday
morning,
when
we
all
came
down
here
to
help
clean
up
number,
almost
his
local
activists
that
were
Marion
Square.
We
had
sidebar
conversations
and
with
an
african-american
to
another
african-american
several
out
of
North
Charleston
would
telling
me
this
is
a
a
fuse
counseling
sacrament.
This
fuse
has
been
building
for
400
years
and
and
now
the
chickens
are
coming
home
to
roost
and
I
told
him.
N
They
don't
have
that
oppression
for
400
years
98%
of
the
people
out.
There
are
well-meaning
people,
but
we
have
that
1
to
2
percent.
That
is
a
criminal
element
and
what
we
saw
with
those
who
and
I
saw
I've
looked
at
it
a
second
time
with
some
of
the
film
that
was,
we
have
from
online.
Some
were
very
happy
to
pick
up
those
granite
blocks
and
throw
it
into
those
windows.
Time
and
time
again,
that's
a
criminal
element.
N
It
didn't
come
from
setting
Watts
on
fire,
it
came
through
the
courts
and
we
have
a
very
unique
community
here
who
would
forget
the
unity
march
in
Charleston
after
mother
Emanuel,
spanning
across
the
Ravenel
Bridge?
We
know
the
betterment
part
is
our
community,
so
the
part
about
how
do
we?
How
do
we
get
to
the
worst
of
it?
We
gonna
be
able
to
do
that
collectively,
get
to
the
worst
of
it.
N
Look
at
selves
when
we
wanted
to
do
this
audit
and
racial
biases
of
our
Police,
Department
and
part
and
party,
if
we're
honest
with
ourselves.
That's
why
I'll
current
chief
of
police
at
the
time
left?
Well,
he
retired!
He
didn't
want
that
audit.
There
were
hard
conversations
to
be
had
we
all
had
to
involve
it
towards
that.
The
mayor
had
to
evolve
on
me.
You
had
to
evolve
Peter
on
it.
We
had
those
conversations,
and
all
of
us
are
better
now
as
a
result
of
it.
N
N
All
that
makes
us
a
little
bit
better.
You
know
why,
because
we
don't
represent
that
criminal
element
out
there,
but
when
you're
getting
those
conversations
in
particularly
stakeholders
will
happen
to
be
white
and
we
are
not
around
that's
when
that
betterment
has
to
rise
to
the
top
and
by
the
same
token,
when
African
Americans
are
in
our
groups
and
racist
things.
I
said,
I'll
give
an
example.
A
few
weeks
ago,
I
was
an
Ashley
go.
Mr.
N
Muir
and
a
white
couple
happened
to
ride
through
hims
looked
like
to
me,
I
mean
I,
don't
know
whether
we're
married
or
not,
but
I
thought
they
were
married,
ruled
through
and
their
bikes
going
back
towards
what
will
be
Carl
Richardson
Park
when
they
came
to
in
the
back.
I
was
talking
to
a
person
I've
known
since
first
green
I
healed
them
well
when
they
went
through.
He
asked
me:
why
did
you
heal
him?
I
said?
Why
didn't
you
heal
them?
N
He
said
all
they're
trying
to
do
is
come
and
buy
up
our
neighborhood
and
I
told
him.
We
can't
do
to
them
what
they
used
to
do
to
us.
So
that's
why
we
had
a
federal,
fair
housing
laws.
So
in
part
we
talked
about
gentrification
but
gentrification
and
the
place
where
African
Americans
already
owned
property.
You
cannot
be
forced
off
of
your
problem
if
you
chose
to
sell
you
made
that
choice.
N
If
you
chose
to
build
again,
you
made
that
choice,
but
there
were
no
white
folk
around
when
I
had
that
conversation
with
my
lifelong
friend
to
say
that,
more
importantly,
why
didn't
you
heal
these
people?
Don't
mean
us
any
harm?
Okay.
Well,
the
same
token,
when
you
go
over
in
the
white
community-
and
you
hear
your
friends
and
sometimes
family
members
say
racist
statements,
I'll
give
you
one
other
example,
my
wife
and
family
was
sitting
down
talking.
N
We
had
kids
had
a
friend
who
happened
to
be
white,
and
my
son
had
a
friend
who
happen
to
be
Chris,
our
children,
not
in
adults
now,
but
our
children
we
used
to
refer
to
them
as
white
boy
Chris
and
the
black
Chris
was
referred
to
as
Chris
and
the
way
my
wife's
landed
her
face
on
that
table.
I
hope
I
have
one
some
strength
like
that.
Sometimes
our
children
never
did
that
again,
never
referred
to
quite
boy,
Chris
and
and
and
and
an
african-american
chris
is
just
being
black.
N
That's
where
his
killing
and
those
little
local
corners
like
that
and
the
so-called
white
boy
Chris.
When
my
mother
died,
he
rolled
in
the
family
car
with
us
to
the
funeral
okay.
So
how
are
we
gonna
kill
that
we
gonna
the
city
of
Charleston
when,
when
councilmember
Lewis's
grandson
was
handcuffed
and
thrown
up
against
the
wall
recently
he
could
have
broken
his
neck.
N
He
got
I
had
a
neck
broken
doing
it
got
out,
spoke
out
against
it
still
advocating
full
racial
ordered
North
Charleston
five
years
after
a
human
being
was
shot
in
the
back
so
I've
years.
After
that,
we
still
have
a
came
for
that.
Why
not
to
play
gotcha,
not
to
say
I,
told
you
so
for
a
better
police
department
that
we
all
enjoy
in
this
region.
It
makes
no
sense
for
us
to
have
a
very
good
police,
professional
police
department.
Our
Police
Department
is
interlinked,
and
we
see
this.
N
We
saw
it
yesterday
with
all
these
law
enforcement
officers
divisions
around
here
and
we
benefit
from
this,
so
councilman
saccharin,
you're,
right,
councilman,
shade,
you're
right
mr.
mayor
you're,
right
right
now,
I
would
say
right
now
when
it
comes
to
being
considerate
and
open-minded
and
trying
to
move
forward
with
what
is
right
for
this
country.
The
government
that's
most
effective.
Is
the
government
that's
closest
to
this
government
right
here?
So
never
take
these
things
for
granted.
I
appreciate
it.
N
I
had
more
than
my
time
there
talking
this
book,
I'm
proud
of
your
councilman
sack
I'm,
proud
of
you,
councilman
GE,
I'm,
proud
of
all
you
guys.
You
know
why,
because
I
feel,
if
somebody
cutting
you
off,
you
know
sidebar
conversation
and
say
this
thing
in
left
field
without
being
prompted.
You
are
gonna,
correct
it
and
that's
our
leadership
moves
forward
together.
So
I
I
think
we
all
got
a
little
emotional
in
this
one,
but
week
I.
Can
we
doing
the
right
things
in
the
city
of
Charleston?
N
B
You
Wow
it's
a
good
conversation
there
amongst
us.
I
am
I.
Thank
you
all
any
further
comments
or
business
to
come
before
council
this
afternoon.
There
will
be
a
love
Charleston
beginning
at
6
o'clock.
Everybody
be
safe
and
we'll
be
in
touch
with
you
all
tomorrow
and
we're
just
taking
this
a
day
at
a
time
right
now.
I
know
folks
would
like
to
plan
it
out.
If
we
have
a
good
night
tonight,
then
we
can
either
extend
the
time
later
or
maybe
nothing
ever,
let's
assess
it
tonight,
I'll
get
back
tomorrow.
