From YouTube: June 27, 2018 Committee of the Whole
Description
Minneapolis Committee of the Whole Meeting
A
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Andrea
Jenkins
and
I
am
the
chair
of
the
committee
of
the
whole
and
the
race
equity
subcommittee.
I'm
gonna
call
this
these
committee
meetings
together
to
order
or
Wednesday
June
27
with
me
at
the
Dyess.
Today,
our
council
members,
Palmisano
Johnson
Goodman
Ellison
were
Sami
Schrader
president
bender
to
my
right
is
comes
member,
cunningham,
fletcher
and
right.
Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
do
have
a
quorum
of
the
Minneapolis,
City,
Council
and
and
said
committees.
A
A
A
B
You
hi
everyone.
My
name
is
Brittany
Lynch
or
Brittany
right
now
and
I
am
going
to
share
a
piece
I
wrote
about
three
years
ago
in
response
to
police
brutality
prior
to
me
getting
married
or
conceiving
a
child.
These
were
just
my
thoughts
as
a
woman
who's
constantly
having
to
face
this
trauma,
and
it's
called
Black
Friday
to
the
mother
of
Emmett
Till.
We
will
never
stop
showing
his
face
to
the
mother
of
Trayvon
Martin.
We
will
never
forget
his
name
to
the
mother
of
Terrance
Franklin.
B
We
stand
with
you
in
this
race
and
to
the
mother
of
Mike
Brown.
Your
son's
life
has
value
even
on
Black
Friday
I
heard
a
statistic
that
said:
black
women
controlled
41%
of
the
buying
power
in
the
United
States
I'm,
not
sure.
If
that
still
stands
true,
but
it
makes
sense
with
arms
wide
enough
to
hold
only
a
few
shopping
bags.
B
The
color
of
the
person
that
I
choose
to
recreate
with
my
children
will
always
be
black
and
always
be
seen
as
dangerous.
Because
of
that
fact,
and
in
an
instant,
my
daydreams
of
motherhood
turned
into
my
nightmare
of
the
black
experience.
I
was
daydreaming
of
the
day
when
they
put
the
Machine
up
to
my
stomach
and
I'd
hear
a
heartbeat,
but
instead
all
I
could
hear
what
gunshots
I
had
daydreams
of
labor
pains
and
contractions
not
doing
the
magg
when
the
police's
plan
was
to
divide
and
conquer
them.
B
Our
core
performance
is
that
my
baby's
recital
and
the
only
song
I
can
ever
seem
to
hear
his
amazing
grace.
My
daydream
turned
into
a
nightmare.
Not
knowing
I
would
be
showing
off
pictures
of
my
kid
at
the
gym
or
my
baby's
obituary
wanting
nothing
but
the
best
for
my
baby
I
go
onto
the
internet
to
do
research
and
I.
B
Don't
know
if
I
should
look
up
the
best
amount
of
stories
or
the
best,
mortuaries
and
I
know
it
sounds
morbid,
but
with
every
unpunished
murder
of
a
black
child,
black
man,
black
woman,
black
person,
it's
like
I,
miss
Carrie.
Another
child
is
dead
and
I,
don't
get
to
see
the
fruits
of
my
labor
and
as
much
as
I
want
to
be
optimistic.
The
odds
aren't
exactly
in
my
favor
I've
seen
one
too
many
black
children
treated
like
animals
either
hunted
in
the
streets
or
locked
in
cages.
I
mean
cells.
B
Pardon
me,
if
I'm
being
politically
incorrect.
Pardon
me
if
my
hashtag
for
black
lives
matter
offends
you.
Let
me
explain
all
lives
matter,
but
right
now,
I
see
a
lot
of
black
lives
in
the
streets
being
slain
and
confused
that
a
hashtag
in
solidarity
not
to
change
the
world,
because
I
know
that
I'm
still
waiting
on
that
last
hashtag
to
bring
back
our
girls.
So
if
I
hash
tag,
Ferguson
or
Michael
Brown
I'm,
just
trying
to
get
you
to
visualize
that
my
experience
is
that
courtrooms
are
to
circuses.
What
judges
have
been
to
clowns.
B
I'll
repeat:
courtrooms
are
to
circuses
what
judges
are
two
clowns.
It's
offer
entertainment
and
we
show
up
to
the
show,
and
then
we
keep
buying
into
that
mess
until
we
run
our
own
I
want
my
kids
to
run
for
office
and
not
to
feel
like
they
have
to
run
from
the
police
and
for
them
to
know
their
own
history.
B
Instead
of
being
fed
this,
this
Columbus
Day
mess
until
they
are
obese
I
want
them
to
know
that
they
were
warriors
before
we
were
bought
and
sold
into
slavery,
so
I
won't
buy
into
consumerism
on
Black
Friday,
especially
when
I
know
that
the
money
goes
into
pockets
of
corporate
owners.
That
don't
look
like
me:
people
who
capitalize
off
of
the
deaths
of
black
children.
That
looked
like
me
folks,
who
are
never
warrior,
so
they
take
what
they
want
of
our
culture
and
rewrite
our
history.
Folks
that
kill
black
leaders
and
call
it
an
unserved
mystery.
B
You
see,
I
want
to
know
what
it's
like
to
have
the
privilege
of
making
this
all
go
away
when
I
turn
off
the
TV,
because
I
can
turn
it
off,
but
the
killing
never
stops
for
me
in
my
community,
and
so
the
reality
is
that
my
children
could
be
the
next
ones
killed
by
the
cops.
So
here,
I
am
carrying
with
me
this
invisible
shield
of
protection
of
my
being
using
it
to
protect
and
serve
everyone,
but
me,
as
a
woman
of
color,
I've,
gotten
so
accustomed
to
taking
care
of
everyone
else.
B
That
self-care
has
become
a
revolutionary
byproduct
of
my
defiance
and
since
my
existence
as
a
loud
woman
who
plans
on
having
black
children
who
was
carrying
a
black
child,
as
in
juxtaposition
to
the
quiet
and
sterile
woman,
that
society
wants
me
to
be
I
need
an
alliance
and
so
to
the
presence
in
future.
Mothers
I
stand
with
you,
both
in
solidarity
as
well
as
a
woman
of
color,
because
I've
watched
the
news
and
I've
seen
it
to
be
true
that
everyone
remembers
the
names
of
the
martyrs,
but
no
one
remembers
how
it
affects
the
mothers.
B
So
this
is
for
me
me
too,
we'll
never
stop
showing
in
its
face,
and
this
is
for
Sybrina
Fulton.
We
will
never
forget
Trayvon's
name,
and
this
is
for
Sheila
O'neal.
We
honor
Terrence,
and
we
stand
with
you
in
this
race,
and
this
is
for
Lesley
McSpadden,
because
Mike
Brown's
life
does
have
value
even
on
black
Fridays.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
miss
Wright
for
that
beautiful
recitation,
a
powerful
original
work.
I
think
it
really
speaks
to
the
moment
to
the
pain,
to
the
tragedy,
to
the
trauma
that
we
are
all
feeling
in
this
moment
and
really
really
appreciate
your
willingness
to
to
be
here
with
us
today
and
and
share
share
that
work
with
that.
I
would
like
to
now
open
up
the
public
hearing
again.
We
are
asking
each
speaker
to
sign
in
and
limit
your
comments
to
two
minutes.
We
will
have
a
30
minute
time
period
for
for
public
hearings.
A
We
typically
do
a
public
notice
for
public
hearings
so
that
people
can
have
an
opportunity
to
come
and
speak,
but
but
given
the
the
events
of
the
past
few
weeks
as
I
have
mentioned,
we
we
felt
as
an
entire
council
that
this
was
the
appropriate
thing
to
do,
and
so
I
would
invite
the
first
speaker,
I,
don't
have
a
list
of
the
names
of
our
speakers
and
I
am
waiting
for
the
clerk
to
bring
that
up.
I
think
it's
right.
C
Thank
you,
I'm
Dave,
picking,
a
4200
Cedar
Avenue
in
Minneapolis,
I'm
glad
that
the
body
camera
footage
is
going
to
be
released
and
it's
entirely
appropriate
that
it
not
be
released
until
the
witnesses
given
their
statements
so
that
it
does
not
contaminate
their
statements.
I
think
one
very
important
question
to
ask,
though,
is:
will
the
officers
or
have
the
officers
seen
the
video
and
will
that
contaminate
their
statements
or
allow
them
to
know
what
they
can
say
and
what
they
can't
say
so
I
think
that's
a
very
important
question.
You
should
ask.
C
C
He
recalled
the
bulletproof
warrior
training
about
a
month
ago.
The
Minneapolis
Police
pulled
its
officers
from
that
after
we
publicize
that
also
that
Officer
llanes
who
killed
falando
Casteel,
took
that
training.
Well,
in
this
case,
we
don't
know
whether
Justin
Schmidt
has
taken
training
similar
to
that,
but
we
do
know
he
actually
conducts
that
kind
of
training.
The
training
we
call
fear-based
training
the
world
is
such
a
scary,
place
you'd,
better
shoot
first
and
ask
questions
later.
C
He
works
for
archway
defense,
they've
pulled
his
name
from
their
website
because
they
had
enough
time
to
do
that
before
Justin
Schmidt's
name
was
released,
but
he
conducts
that
kind
of
training,
also
the
complaint
history
that
was
released
on
the
website.
We
appreciate
that,
but
it's
a
lackey
it
understates.
The
number
of
complaints
that
both
of
these
officers
have
had
I've
passed
out.
C
A
sheet
explains
that
to
you,
Justin
Schmidt
has
had
eight
complaints,
not
the
five
that
were
listed
in
only
five
years
on
the
force
and
Ryan
Kelly
as
no
Ryan
Kelly
has
eight
complaints,
not
the
five
that
were
listed
after
five
years
on
the
force.
Justin
Schmidt
has
had
five
complaints,
rather
than
the
three
that
were
listed
so
I
think
it's
important
that
that
record
be
set
straight
and
that
we
not
minimize
the
danger.
These
officers
were
and
still
are.
Thank
you
thank.
A
D
Name
is
Cora
Danielson.
My
address
is
310
4th
Avenue
South
I'm,
the
founder
of
an
organization
called
the
new
north,
were
a
police
accountability
watchdog
group,
with
the
focus
on
victims
who
are
experiencing
a
mental
health
crisis
when
they
interact
with
the
police
I'm
here
today,
because
I'm
angry
and
sad
for
Thurman
Blevins,
I'm
scared
for
his
family
I'm
scared
that
this
young
father
will
have
been
killed
in
vain.
I'm
scared
that
this
is
going
to
be
another
family
here
in
Minnesota
that
receives
no
justice
after
their
loved
one
has
been
killed
by
police.
D
D
Necessity
for
all
parties
involved-
if
indeed
MPD,
is
telling
the
truth,
it
would
be
in
their
best
interest
to
be
transparent.
I
know
that
I
Thurmond
Blevins
family,
the
community.
All
of
us
do
not
trust
the
initial
police
narrative
we're
at
a
pivotal
point
in
time
and
I.
Believe.
Transparency
is
crucial
to
how
we
move
forward
as
a
society.
I
urge
the
mayor,
this
council,
the
county
attorney
and
the
BCA
to
expedite
this
process
and
attempt
to
resolve
it
as
soon
as
possible.
D
We
cannot
continue
to
uphold
the
status
quo,
trying
to
preserve
a
system
that
only
works
for
one
group
of
people
has
led
Minnesota
to
have
some
of
the
worst
racial
disparities
in
the
country
and
business
as
usual
will
only
make
these
disparities
worse,
release
the
tapes
and
justice
for
Thurman
Blevins.
Thank
you.
Thank.

My
name
is
king
demetrius
penalty,
independent
journalist
photographer.
This
shirt
represents
a
lot
I
remember,
I
was
at
Walmart
and
they
said
what
cops
shows
up.
You
know
it's
all
funny
gaming
to
the
cop
shows
up
and
I
got
this
in
2014
when
Jamar
Clark
was
killed
on
in
2013,
going
in
2014.
We
seen
these
flap
doodle
accusations
that
went
on
constantly
and
constantly
and
constantly
how
Mike
Friedman
basically
threw
him
under
the
bus
and
squared
the
whole
jury.
F
We're
wondering.
Are
we
going
to
get
any
justice?
We
just
ain't
I
mean
how
this
case
happened
with
him
with
her
victim
as
the
police
officer
being
removed
from
the
police
force.
Is
this
going
to
happen
in
this
case
as
well?
Are
you
guys
gonna
arm?
Just
you
know,
we
see
a
lot
of
activists.
We
see
a
lot
of
people
in
the
community
to
come
together.
We
see
a
lot
of
people
that
sits
on
these
pounds.
F
Right
here,
come
together
and
come
out
to
the
scene,
or
are
you
guys
gonna
do
your
job,
because
right
now
what
we
send?
We
send
a
whole
lot
of
photo
ops
of
what
have
they
and
acting
like
people
are
really
standing
in
solidarity,
but
what
we're
really
seeing
is
people
are
procrastinating
with
the
law,
we're
filibustering
around
people,
lives
are
dying,
people
are
dying
constantly
and
people
are
really
afraid
of
the
police
officers.
F
A
lot
of
people
are
getting
to
the
point
where
they
don't
even
want
to
call
the
police
they
want
to
get
people
in
the
community
to
come
together
and
organize
something
else.
So
we
just
want
to
know,
are
we
gonna
get
justice,
or
is
it
going
to
be
just
us
again,
because
this
is
Hipparchus
II
again
or
Minnesota?
Not
so
nice
watch
the
blood
is
on
your
hands.
We
seen
what
happened
with
Fernando.
There
was
no
mistaken.
F
G
It
reminded
me
and
in
terms
of
seeing
the
reports
saying
he
was
shot
multiple
times
as
what
someone
would
do
when
they're
playing
a
video
game
and
they're,
seeing
an
enemy
object
and
they're
trying
to
get
the
object
out
of
the
way,
and
so
they
just
shoot
and
they
shoot
and
they
shoot
and
they
shoot
because
it's
inanimate
object.
We
should
not
have
these
types
of
things
happening
on
the
streets
to
human
beings.
G
What
this
demonstrates
is
that
there
is
a
real
core
problem
which
many
of
us
have
been
talking
about
for
years
within
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department,
a
very
violent
culture
which
has
been
cultivated
over
a
number
of
years
under
different
administrations,
and
that
is
continuing
to
come
to
a
head.
The
problems
have
not
been
rooted
out
within
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department.
G
We
were
standing
there
talking
to
him
and
we
looked
down
the
street
and
we
saw
one
of
the
witnesses
being
placed
in
handcuffs
and
manhandled
by
MPD
officers,
and
so
we
said
to
the
chief
you're
telling
us
what's
going
on,
but
look
at
what
your
officers
are
doing
right
over
there
and
the
chief
didn't
know
what
was
happening
he
walked
down.
There
asked
some
questions
and
wound
up
taking
that
woman.
G
Out
of
handcuffs
she
had
been
charged
with
obstruction
of
legal
process,
which
is
another
petty
charge
that
MPD
throws
on
people
in
circumstances
like
this,
so
the
culture
has
not
changed.
We
have
officers
continuing
to
engage
in
abusive
conduct.
You
see
their
records
they're,
not
disciplined,
including
the
officers
who
were
involved
in
the
shooting
death
of
Thurmond
Blevins.
So
you
all
have
probably
heard
our
demands.
We
want
immediate
release
of
the
body
camera
footage.
G
There's
no
excuse
because
we
know
under
Minnesota
law
officers,
do
have
the
right
to
review
that
footage,
even
though
they're
supposed
to
be
trained
to
remember
instances
that
happen,
but
yet
the
witnesses
can't
review
the
footage
right.
That's
a
double
standard.
It's
hypocrisy!
It's
a
setup!
So
there's
no
reason
why
that
body,
camera
footage
should
not
be
immediately
released.
There
does
not
need
to
be
conditions
attached
to
it
as
a
matter
of
justice.
The
people
and
the
family
need
to
know
what
happened.
We're
tired
of
having
to
come
here.
G
G
Talking
to
the
witnesses
feeling
their
pain
hear
what
they
had
to
say,
and
yet
you
issue
a
statement
like
that
that
just
rubber-stamps
this
type
of
violence,
so
we're
asking
you
as
the
mayor
to
do
better
and
to
come
out
and
to
not
be
afraid
of
the
people.
We
want
support
from
the
city,
we're
tired
of
the
status
quo,
we're
tired
of
people
dying,
you
guys
have
to
do
more,
and
there
are
many
of
us
you're
willing
to
work
with
you
willing
to
work
with
you.
G
A
H
Yes,
Facebook
doesn't
tell
you
how
to
pronounce
my
name
yet.
My
name
is
Jess
stuntin
and
I
live
at
29:11,
Park,
Avenue,
South,
Minneapolis
I'm
here
today,
with
others
very
concerned
about
another
killing
of
another
black
man
in
our
neighborhood
I
want
to
say
first
I,
don't
believe
there
was
a
gun
and
I.
Don't
know
why
the
mayor,
so
it
was
so
confident
that
there
was
when
they
he
thought
he
could
tell
the
media
about
it.
H
That
was
the
most
hurtful
thing
you
could
have
done
not
only
to
Thurman
Blevins
family,
including
his
three
young
children,
but
the
entire
community.
That
was
a
shameful
thing
to
do
and
you
should
apologize,
but
I
want
to
get
to
our
demands
because
we
have
real
things.
We
really
need
and
not
just
words,
because
it
seems
like
you're
only
getting
yourself
into
trouble
when
you
open
your
mouth
mr.
mayor.
First,
we
need
the
release
of
Thurman
Levin's
body.
His
family
has
been
told
it
might
be
held
for
six
months.
H
Can
you
imagine,
and
we
know
people
who
had
it
help
for
longer?
You
know
whether
they
need
it
for
an
independent
autopsy
or
not.
They
needed
to
say
goodbye,
that's
their
loved
one,
and
we
have
no
right
the
city.
The
state
have
no
right
to
keep
him
from
his
family.
His
life
was
already
taken.
His
body
needs
to
be
returned.
H
H
I
worked
with
the
Twin
Cities
Coalition
for
justice
for
Jamar,
and
there
were
dozens
of
black
witnesses
who
saw
him
murdered.
We
know
I
was
on
the
scene
Saturday
evening.
We
know
that
community
members
saw
what
happened
when
police
approached
Thurman
Blevins
on
that
corner,
where
he
was
sitting
with
his
child
and
her
and
another
another
adult.
We
know
they
saw
it.
They
told
us
they
don't
make
it
up,
they're,
not
lying
because
they're
black,
a
man
who
was
sitting
in
his
house.
It
came
out
from
his
alley
and
filed
police
quarters.
H
A
few
minutes
later
didn't
see
anything.
He
didn't
see
what
happened.
He
saw
after
that
one
white
witness
who's
getting
his
airtime
I
want
this
city,
the
state,
the
investigating
agency,
to
believe
black
witnesses
that
has
to
change.
Finally,
I
want
it
I,
just
I
know
what
time's
up
I.
Was
there
two
things
real
fast?
We
need
to
fire.
The
police
officers
involved
in
this
instance
we're
tired
of
paid
vacations
for
killer
cops,
Brian,
Kelly
and
Justin
Justin
Justin
Schmidt
killed
a
man
and
before
that
they
had
more
than
a
dozen
complaints
against
them.
H
These
are
bad
cops
and
we
need
him
off
the
street
and,
finally,
we
need
community
control
of
the
police,
because
we
have
seen
that
the
mayor's
office
can't
handle
it.
The
City
Council
doesn't
have
the
power
the
community
knows.
What
we
want
know
is
what
we
need
and
we
insist
on
having
that
power
back
in
our
hands.
Thank
you.
A
A
I
I
I
They
got,
they
had
a
line
of
police.
You
know
I
heard
you
at
the
public
safety
meeting
mayor
Frey
when
you
said
that
all
these
911
calls
were
coming
in
and
we
needed
more
police
officers.
So
we
could
keep
the
city
safe
and
if
you
could
have
seen
how
many
police
officers
were
were
standing
in
a
line
with
hands
on
weapons.
Latex
gloves
in
front
of
people
who
had
just
lost
family,
a
family
member,
okay
and
then
the
sergeant
who
is
public
relations
was
making
up
his
own
ideas
about
what
is
allowed
to
happen.
I
I
I
want
I
want
you
to
understand
that
you
are
the
person
who
has
said
you
are
your:
have
no
plan
of
bringing
in
more
more
police
and
a
week
or
so
later
you
did
it,
and
now
here
we
are,
and
I
really
I
really
need
you
to
understand
this,
even
if
you
don't
agree
with
it.
Even
if
you
have
your
money
and
your
placement
with
developers
and
with
the
police,
the
Federation
I'm,
not
gonna,
call
it
a
police
union
I'm,
calling
it
the
Police
Federation.
I
A
J
Thank
you
get
that
out
of
the
way
that's
up
I'm,
basically
void
of
feelings,
because
there
have
just
been
so
many
of
these
incidents.
It's
it's
beyond
troubling.
In
the
words
of
fannie
lou
hamer,
our
activist
said,
I'm
sick
and
tired
of
being
sick
and
tired
for
the
family
of
brother
Levin.
Their
morning
now
our
community
is
mourning
you're
going
to
have
a
presentation
about
race,
equity
and
trauma.
Our
community
has
long
been
traumatized
by
this.
History
is
not
repeating
itself.
J
History
is
continuing
because
we
know
that
as
people
of
African
descent
war
was
declared
upon
us
long
time
ago,
war
has
been
declared
by
the
police
departments
across
America
and
particularly
in
Minneapolis
on
african-american
male,
for
some
reason,
there's
a
fear
of
african-american
males.
We
tell
our
children
not
to
run
from
dogs
right,
so
they
do
run
because
they
are
afraid
so
running
from
the
police
is
a
natural
instinct
because
they
are
afraid
of
the
police.
I
asked
a
police
officer.
J
Why
don't
they
shoot
in
the
leg?
Shoot
the
gun
out
of
the
hand
shoot
in
the
arm.
I
was
told
we're
trained
to
shoot,
to
kill.
So
therefore
I
am
F
in
you
may
find
City
Council's,
who
has
the
authority
to
put
some
policy
change
in
place?
This
has
got
to
stop.
This
is
total
insanity.
In
September
of
this
year,
Minneapolis
will
host
the
National
Baptist
Convention
USA
Inc,
my
pastor,
Billy
G
Russell
is
getting
calls.
Is
it
safe
for
us
to
come.
K
A
L
L
The
scene
there
was
horrific
specifically
in
regards
to
the
officers
and
their
presence,
which
leads
to
some
of
what
I've
already
heard,
but
the
militarized,
like
just
physical
presence
and
standing
of
individuals
in
an
aggressive
manner
after
an
individual
is
murdered,
is
not
only
frightening,
but
it
escalates
tension
within
the
community.
I.
L
I'm
sorry
I'm
shaking
a
little
bit
here.
This
is
specifically
a
side
from
that.
The
actions
of
the
BCA
on
that
day
searching
the
woman's
car
without
a
warrant
searching
the
woman's
house
without
a
warrant
and
lying
to
somebody
who
herself
is
a
victim
and
telling
him
that
he
represents
her
is
complete
and
utter
I'm,
not
gonna,
swear
here
because
there's
children
present,
but
you
can
understand
the
expletives
that
I'm
about
to
use
to
describe
that.
L
Her
attorney
was
not
allowed
to
be
present
during
the
questioning
or
during
the
search
which,
in
my
mind,
is
a
violation
of
all
of
our
rights
period.
So
as
far
as
you
guys,
handing
over
investigations
to
the
BCA,
all
of
her
rights
were
violated
all
of
them.
How
can
you
use
this
as
an
independent
investigation
or
an
entity
that
individual
a
relying
to
a
victim?
They
relieved
Billie,
searching
a
victim's
vehicle
and
home
and
keeping
her
away
from
her
legal
representation.
L
L
M
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Rachel
Rivard
I'm
at
4:30
Jenks
in
Saint,
Paul
I
just
want
to
elaborate
a
little
bit
more
on
what
mr.
Aiman
just
told
you
I
was
present
when
the
BCA
investigator
told
the
witnesses
attorney
that
she
didn't
need
him,
that
the
BCA
investigator
represented
his
client
and
that
he
was
to
stay
where
he
was,
and
then
he
took
the
attorneys
client
and
walked
away
from
him
as
though
he
had
sat
him
down
like
a
dog
stay
here
and
then
they
walked
off.
M
I
have
to
tell
you
that
does
not
make
me
trust
them.
I
heard
it
I
watched
the
attorney
baffled
and
unsure
what
to
do,
because
in
his
mind,
he
wants
to
trust
this
man.
He
wants
to
believe
that
what
he's
saying
is
true
that
what
he's
saying
is
the
right
thing
to
do
for
those
of
us
who
have
seen
this
before
we
had
to
approach
him.
They
got
pretty
much
down
the
block
before
we
could
get
to
him
and
actually
I
will
say
that,
in
a
sense
that
we
actually
sat
in
pause.
M
Did
he
just
tell
him
to
wait?
There
and
leave
his
client
unattended.
How
does
that
happen?
How
do
we
trust
these
people
so
as
I'm
processing
this
and
having
a
conversation
with
my
friend,
we
decided
to
approach
the
attorney
and
say
you
don't
need
to
sit
here.
That
is
your
client.
You
have
every
right
to
go
with
her.
You
have
every
right
to
go
with
her,
just
because
that
man
used
his
voice
does
not
mean
he's
right
turn
around
and
go
find
her
by
the
time
we
got
to
the
tape.
M
They
had
moved
her
underneath
it
and
she
was
nowhere
to
be
found
and
the
game
began.
You
need
to
get
in
touch
with
her.
She
needs
to
exercise
her
right.
Well,
she
had
already
done
that.
Her
attorney
wanted
to
be
present.
You
need
to
do
it
again.
You
need
to
call
her
well,
of
course,
she's
not
taking
calls
she's
being
handled
by
the
BCA
right
now,
and
so
her
attorney
sat
there
on
one
side
of
the
line
unable
to
even
find
his
client
never
mind
even
know
where
she
was
the
police
department.
M
I
would
say
they
attempted
to
assist
in
finding
that,
but
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
that
process
took
over
25
minutes
and
that
at
some
point
her
attorney
became
so
frustrated.
He
left
the
lung
now
whether
or
not
I
would
hire.
That
attorney
is
not
really
a
matter
in
this
moment,
but
I
have
to
tell
you
that
when
the
BCA
violates
what
our
rights
are,
I
am
unable
to
trust
them.
You
should
be
unable
to
trust
them.
M
A
M
A
N
N
On
the
point
of
throwing
blevens,
let's
just
get
it
out
there
quick,
the
mayor
said
there
was
a
gun
on
the
scene,
so
we
had
to
say
there's
a
gun
on
the
scene.
That's
what
I'm!
Assuming
now
he
said
it.
He
we
came
out
ahead
of
it
now
that
his
word
is
bond
right
now,
so
he
said:
there's
a
gun
on
the
scene,
so
Blevins
had
a
gun.
N
We
need
to
see
that
we
need
to
see
that
video,
though,
because
even
if
he
had
a
gun
and
he's
running
and
you
shoot
him
in
his
back-
that's
murder
period
point-blank.
So
you
say:
there's
a
gun
you
seen
the
videotape
is
only
for
you
to
be
able
to
say
that
that
far
ahead
only
means
one
thing.
Mr.
jacob
frye
means
you
already
watched
it
period.
So
you
already
seen
the
tape,
so
the
tapes
already
been
viewed
so
now
that
we
do
know
there
probably
is
a
gun
on
the
scene.
N
I
don't
want
to
make
that
assumption.
Whoa
every
man
is
innocent,
especially
like
that
he's
a
dead
man.
So
I
hope
you
don't
want
to
say
that
ahead
of
the
ballgame
you're
shaking
your
head
is
yes,
so
there's
a
gun
on
the
scene.
So
let
this
make
this
real
clear.
We
want
that
evidence
right
now
for
the
public,
the
BCA
we
know
who
killed
him.
I
said
it
the
other
night
ago.
We
know
who
killed
him.
You
guys
killed
the
evidence.
You
guys
got
the
gun.
Who
did
it?
N
You
got
the
video
camera
to
do
it.
Come
on
all.
Like
the
lady
just
said
earlier,
I
was
the
one
saying
we
were
Spyder
womp,
you
guys
had
you
had
one
part
section
off
another
part
section
off.
You
were
pushing
people
back.
You
don't
want
the
community
to
be
to
be
involved,
but,
like
nickimja
said,
we
want
the
community
to
be
in
charge
of
the
law
enforcement.
Now
in
Minneapolis
we
know
what's
right
or
wrong.
N
If
there's
a
gang
shooting
all
of
us
in
the
community,
let's
go
find
them
once
we
find
out
who
it
is
with
the
police
department.
That's
go
give
but
we're
not
gonna
play
this
ball
game.
We're
waiting
in
the
BCA
needs
the
body
the
soul
has
already
gone,
like
my
man
said,
give
the
family
of
the
body
release.
They
tell
you,
let
us
see
what
happened.
There's
a
gun
on
the
scene,
Jacob
Frye
said
it.
N
So,
let's
get
down
to
the
bottom
of
it.
So
we
don't
have
to
have
this
tension
in
Minneapolis.
I
got
kids
all
over
Minneapolis
Public
Schools
that
are
out
in
the
summertime.
A
a
Mason
I
only
want
to
go
out
there
right
now.
I
was
just
playing.
We
got
kids
trying
to
set
up
two
businesses.
We
see
the
pull
we
see
we
see
what's
going
across
the
country
right
now,
white
supremacy
is
on
the
march.
N
We
seen
it
there
literally
on
the
March
in
Charlottesville.
We
just
seen
it
with
they're
calling
us
barbecue
swimming
pools,
hit
they're
ready,
go
back,
don't
come
in
bores
up
kids
tore
away
from
families.
The
black
communities
haven't
seen
it
for
400
years,
we're
ready
for
it,
I'm
ready
for
it
we're
not
backing
down
I'm
truthful.
We
don't
need
weapons
or
nothing
that
we
got
truth
so
Jake
the
fry,
you
said:
there's
a
gun
on
the
scene,
release
the
tape
down.
Okay,
that's.
A
K
Thank
you
and
I
appreciate
it.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
did
do
some
comments.
I,
don't
think
we
want
to
let
this
go
without
weighing
in
and
having
a
little
discussion
ourselves.
I
think
that's
critically
important
I
want
to
thank
you.
Vice
president
Jenkins
for
I'm
opening
this
up
for
community
comment
and
for
discussion.
K
I,
think
that
in
in
and
of
itself
shows
a
dramatic
difference
from
past
incidents
is
similar
to
this,
and
hopefully
it
sends
a
signal
that
we're
more
open
and
we're
more
willing
to
listen
and
were
more
willing
to
make
creative
changes
to
make
a
difference.
As
I
was
listening
to
people
and
hearing
the
the
the
demands,
the
requests,
some
of
the
ideas
I
think
some
of
them
seem
perfectly
reasonable.
I'd
like
to
see
the
tapes
released,
I
absolutely
would
like
to
see
the
body
returned.
K
I
have
to
say
that
I
lost
faith
in
the
BCA
doing
these
kind
of
investigations.
When
I
saw
the
results
of
what
have
come
in
from
the
last
few
of
these
police
shootings,
it
just
seemed
like
it.
It's
not
really
the
kind
of
credible
source
we
want
now
to
get
this
up.
I
would
like
to
see
what
our
own
civil
rights
Department
uncovers
about
this
and
other
things
as
well
and
I.
Think
I.
K
There's
a
special
clause
in
the
Charter
that
says.
That's
all
exclusively
the
power
under
the
mayor's
office
and
I
know
that
for
some
people
that
would
seem
like
a
small
step
towards
grassroots
democracy,
moving
from
one
person
to
14
that
could
maybe
share
that
authority.
But
for
me,
I
think
it's
a
critically
important
step.
Not
only
does
it
give
me
an
avenue
to
say:
hey
I
can't
be
I'm,
not
responsible,
I,
don't
have
any
authority
as
a
council
members.
K
So
we
have
some
authority,
we
also
confirm
the
appointment
of
the
chief
and
we
also
approve
a
budget.
So
absolutely
there's
a
lot
of
muscles
that
I've
tried
to
throw
around
and
impact
that
threat.
We
also
have
passed
and
can
repeal
the
laws
and
the
low-level
offenses
that
the
police
are
enforcing,
so
I'm,
not
saying
there's
no
responsibility
and
we
don't
try
as
a
council
to
make
a
difference.
What
I'm
saying
is
I
think
one
step
we
could
take
is
maybe
looking
at
that
charter
provision
and
see
if
we
can't
do
it.
K
K
The
chief
to
have
some
special
kind
of
a
alignment
with
the
mayor's
office
in
the
police
department
or
if
they
just
think
that
we
should
have
it
set
up.
Just
like
every
other
department
head.
It's
a
small
thing,
but
it's
a
thing.
We
could
move
forward
on
and
there's
many
other
things
that
we
we
could
as
well
as
well,
but
I
think
I'll
yield
the
time
here
now
that
I
got
to
pitch.
That
idea
and
let's
see
what
other
ideas
we
have
up
here,
that
people
want
to
talk
about.
Thank.
P
You,
madam
chair
first
I,
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
everybody
for
being
here:
everybody
who
spoke
this
shooting
of
Thurman
Blevins,
also
known
as
June
in
our
neighborhood
our
community.
This
has
been
a
total
tragedy
in
our
ward
and
it's
impacted
I've,
the
folks.
It's
impacted
folks
from
all
walks
of
life,
both
in
the
ward
as
well
as
outside
of
the
ward
when
a
bomb
like
this
goes
off
in
a
community,
really
the
public
discussion
and
dialogue
really
zooms
in
on
two
particular
aspects.
P
The
first
is
the
community's
response,
zeroing
in
how
the
community
is
behaving
and
and
pulling
that
apart
in
judging
that
and
then
the
second
is
the
subsequent
investigation
in
the
process.
Those
are
the
two
things
that
we
focus
on
and
what
we
see
happen,
oftentimes
as
those
two
conversations
get
criss
crossed
and
then
which
they
should
not
be
and
when,
because
of
our
current
legal
and
criminal
justice
system,
the
the
that
trumps,
what
the
community's
response
is,
so
we
end
up
prioritizing
that
and
not
holding
space
whatsoever.
P
So
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
separate
those
two.
So
first
I
want
to
talk
about
community
trauma.
We
talked
a
lot.
We've
heard
a
lot
about
it
here
today,
but
it
is
necessary
to
know
and
understand
the
history
of
policing
and
harm
that
that
institution
has
inflicted
on
marginalized
communities,
particularly
black
and
Native
communities,
when
an
officer-involved
shooting
happens.
It's
never
just
about
that
specific
case
generations
of
trauma
come
up
with
every
single
case.
This
is
not
identity,
politics.
This
is
not
making
it
about
race.
This
is
not
you.
P
This
is
not
a
judgment
on
this
particular
case.
Community
trauma
is
real
and
the
wounds
cannot
heal
if
they
keep
being
torn
open
over
and
over
again,
there
are
folks
who
are
going
to
say
that
you
know
it
shouldn't
you
shouldn't,
keep
having
these
wounds
torn
open
again,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
Dylann
roof
was
able
to
walk
into
a
church,
kill
with
a
machine
gun,
kill
nine
black
folks
be
able
to
be
taken
alive
and
get
a
cheeseburger
on
the
way
to
jail,
and
that
reality
is
unjust.
It
is
unjust.
P
I
have
understood
that
historically,
however,
in
this
case
we
saw
some
information
was
chosen
to
be
shared,
which
has
led
to
innuendos
in
rumors
and
assumptions,
and
a
narrative
has
been
already
created
about
what
happened.
Well.
I
very
much
so
am
grateful
that
the
body
footed
body,
cam
footage
will
be
released
sooner
than
historically.
The
BCA
has
released
it.
P
P
Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I'm,
incredibly
grateful
to
be
serving
the
Northside
with
councilmember
Cunningham,
because
I
can,
you
know,
be
a
little
bit
more
reserved
and
and
I
appreciate
your
ability
to
be
able
to
speak
with
with
earnestness
a
seriousness
about.
What's
going
on.
This
happened
in
your
hood
and
it's
been
an
honor
and
it's
an
honor
to
serve
with
you.
So
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
that
we're
looking
to
turn
the
concerns
of
the
community
into
action,
I
think
that
as
new
council
members,
we
ran
on
platforms
of
police
accountability.
Q
We
ran
on
platforms
of
transparency,
we
ran
on
platforms
to
serve
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
city
and
our
constituents
agreed
with
us
and
and
and
and
many
of
you
all
are
our
constituents
and-
and
you
agreed
with
us-
and
you
sent
us
here
to
do
this.
There
was
a
one
gentleman
who
called
for
us
to
do
our
job
and
I
think
that
we're
going
to
be
looking
to
do
exactly
that.
Oh
I
also
just
wanted
to
say
that
my
colleague
councilmember
Goodman,
we
co-chair
a
committee
we're
supposed
to
be
setting
the
agenda.
Q
She's
gonna
be
coming
right.
Back
I
didn't
want
you
guys
to
think
that
you
know
somebody
from
the
council
had
just
walked
out
without
purpose.
She
actually
went
to
agenda
setting
so
that
I
could
stay
here
and
and
make-
and
here
you
all-
you
know,
I
I-
want
to
make
sure
that
that
we
do
have
transparency,
that
we
are
seeing
justice
and
you
know
the
North
Minneapolis.
Q
As
an
activist
and
as
somebody
who
is
now
elected
into
office
to
see
that
line
that
militaristic
line,
it
doesn't
seem
like
the
appropriate
way
to
handle
community,
and
so
the
bet
to
the
best
of
our
ability.
Like
councilmember
Gordon
said,
while
there
are
limitations,
we're
not
going
to
hide
behind
those
limitations.
We're
gonna
lean
into
that
and
we're
going
to
figure
out
what?
What?
What
can
we
do?
What
will
we
do?
Q
R
But
I
think
it
should
be,
but
they
are
working
day
in
and
day
out,
every
minute
and
every
second
of
the
day
on
behalf
of
their
constituents
in
North,
Minneapolis
I
shared
with
the
mayor
yesterday.
It
has
been
my
position
since
I
took
office
that
I
support
the
immediate
release
of
body
camera
footage
and
any
other
primary
source
of
factual
information
to
the
community.
R
Now
immediately,
I
would
defer
to
the
leadership
of
my
colleagues
who
you
know
represent
the
community
and
I
really
appreciate
councilmember
Cunningham's,
careful
attention
to
the
effect
of
traumatic
action
on
the
community,
and
so
he
has
my
full
support
and
and
how
he
wants
to
handle
that.
But
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
the
councilmember
from
the
ward
has
not
seen
the
body
camera
footage.
Okay,
so
I
think
I
support
the
immediate
release
of
the
footage
to
the
full
community,
I
think
in
it.
R
At
the
very
least,
the
council
members
should
have
access
to
that
information.
So
I
just
want
to
clarify
that.
That's
my
position
on
that
share
that
with
the
mayor
as
well,
and
then
just
to
the
point
of
councilmember
Gordon
I
just
want
to
tell
you
what
councilmember
Gordon
is
talking
about
is
potentially
at
the
City
Council.
R
We
have
the
power
to
put
onto
the
ballot
a
question
to
the
voters
of
Minneapolis,
about
how
our
Charter
handles
the
authority
of
the
mayor
and
the
council
related
to
the
police
department,
and
my
perspective
on
that
is
I
am
open
to
having
that
community
conversation
and
I
think
there
are
probably
arguments
for
and
against
that.
There
are
pros
and
cons
that
people
in
this
room
may
have
really
different
perspectives
on
and
I.
R
Don't
think
we
should
make
assumptions
about
what
those
perspectives
would
be,
but
I'm
open
to
having
that
conversation,
and
as
any
of
my
colleagues
would
tell
you
when
something
like
this
happens,
we
all
get
calls
from
our
constituents
asking
us
to
do
something
and
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
direct
power.
We
have.
We
have
the
power
to
call
on
the
mayor
to
do
things.
R
We
have
the
power
of
a
budget,
but
we
do
not
have
direct
authority
over
the
police
departments,
policies
or
the
civil
rights
department
at
this
time,
and
so
I'm
open
to
the
conversation
that
comes
from
urban
garden
has
raised.
We've
talked
about
in
the
past.
We
talked
about
it
last
term
as
well.
So
it's
nothing
about
this
may
or
any
future
mayor,
but
I
think
it
is
a
particular
topic
of
conversation
that
the
city
should
have.
So
those
are
my
thoughts.
Thank
you
again.
The
leadership
of
councilmember
Jenkins,
Cunningham,
Alison
Thank.
S
S
This
is
something
this
charter
change
idea
is
something
I've
supported
going
back
to
the
previous
mayoral
administration
before
our
elections
happened
right
now
we
have
more
oversight
of
our
potholes
than
we
do
our
police
and
that's
not
right
and
I,
think
that
that
should
change
and
I
support,
putting
it
on
the
ballot
and
if
the
voters
don't
agree
that
we
should
increase
the
oversight
and
accountability,
I'll
respect
that
decision,
but
I
think
it
should
be
on
the
ballot
for
the
voters
to
decide.
I
also
just
want
to
acknowledge
as
well.
S
S
Think
there's
a
lot
of
questions
that
we
need
answered
here
and
that's
why
I
support
getting
this
body
camera
footage
out
there
and
I
appreciate
the
mayor
in
his
commitment
to
do
that
as
soon
as
absolutely
possible.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
he
has
been
very
accessible
to
council
members
throughout
this
process
and
I've
seen
him
out
there,
as
well
with
the
community
and
so
I
appreciate
his
leadership
as
well,
and
this
whole
experience
and
the
other
ones
that
came
before
it.
S
It
really
caused
me
to
reconsider
my
positions
and
what
I
can
do
to
help
as
well
and
so
want
to
keep
working
with
all
you
and
reiterate
my
commitment
to
doing
that
and
how
we
can
envision
and
actually
come
through
and
pull
through
with
a
stronger
Minneapolis,
where
everybody
here
feels
safe
and
isn't
afraid
of
the
police
and
where
we
have
the
safety
in
our
communities,
that's
being
led
by
the
communities.
Thank
you.
E
You,
madam
chair,
where
I'm
at
I'm
done
explaining
away
injustice
to
my
kids,
things
need
to
change.
I,
definitely
support
hitting
the
immediate
immediately
releasing
the
tapes
and
I
support,
councilmember,
Goodman
and
good
nod.
Gordon's
call
to
you
know,
put
on
a
charter
remember
to
change
a
police,
but
I
don't
want
that
to
be
the
discussion.
The
discussion
needs
to
be.
How
do
we
have
different
outcomes?
How
do
we
have
a
police
force
that
protects
us
all?
How
do
we
have
one
that
thinks
about
the
community?
E
That
is
what
my
whole
goal
would
be
with
that
we
need
to
focus
on
different
outcomes.
We're
not
getting
them
right
now.
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
coming
out
and
as
consumer
Johnson
said,
there's
people
not
here
and
one
of
their
name
is
compliance
and
we
need
to
keep
that
front
and
center
I.
Think
I
also
want
to
be
very
clear
that
you
know.
As
we
talk
about
what
we're
doing
next,
we
had
a
lot
of
very
good
ideas.
E
T
You,
madam
chair,
thanks
to
community
members
for
coming
and
for
the
comments
that
people
have
made.
You
know
I've
been
on
the
council
for
four
and
a
half
years.
That
I
would
say
that
you
know:
I
have
failed
in
terms
of
making
a
change
with
the
police,
behavior
and
the
way
the
police
have
interacted
on
the
community
and
I
think
we
do
need
to
change
that.
We
have
to
be
honest
with
ourselves
and
we
have
to
be
honest
with
the
reality
on
the
ground.
T
People
are
afraid
of
the
police,
especially
people
who,
who
look
like
me,
are
afraid
of
the
police
and-
and
you
know
we
were
joking
a
couple
of
days
ago
about
how
the
police
department
doesn't
work.
Like
public
works,
you
know
people
don't
like
paying
assessments
and
yet
probably
work
still
works
and
our
police
department
is
not
working,
it's
not
functioning
properly
and
we
have
to
make
drastic
changes
and
the
fact
that
you
have.
We
have
another
discussion
about
a
black
man
who
got
shot.
T
It's
just
disgusting
and
it's
disturbing
and
it's
scary,
because
I'm
a
black
man
and
in
scheduled
police
all
my
life
and
that's
that's
the
honest
truth
and
sometimes
I'm
scheduled
police.
Now,
even
though
he
you
know,
if
people
put
you
in
a
pedestal
or
make
you
believe
that
you
have
power,
so
I
think
we.
We
have
to
make
some
changes,
and
this
is
disturbing,
and
this
is
wrong
and
we
shouldn't
be
having
this
discussion.
You
know.
E
T
And
again
it's
like
you
have
in
deja
vu
same,
you
sit
in
the
same
seat,
the
same
people
talking
about
the
same
things
and
I
know.
I
want
to
also
acknowledge
the
fact
that
all
the
members
of
the
council
have
you
know.
People
are
they
have
then
the
right.
You
know
their
heart
is
in
the
right
place
and
I'm
being
honest
in
the
mayor's
well
and
but
it's
frustrating
because
the
system
is
not
system
designed
for
us
and
the
system
is
hard,
it
doesn't
change
easily.
U
T
He's
young
he's
a
lot
younger
than
I
am
and
he
he
was
an
activist,
and
he
was
right
here
and
screaming
at
us
right,
hey
on
this
side,
and
you
know
so.
I
do
I
want
to
acknowledge
his
the
fact
that
he
has
a
lot
of
responsibilities
and
and
also
councilmember
Cunningham
was
also
young
and-
and
you
know,
and
it's
hard
for
them
so
I
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
as
well
and
I
am
to
have
a
night.
You
know
that
I
was
going
to
be
there
for
him.
T
It's
really
hard,
there's
nothing
that
I
can
say
right
now
to
soothe
people's
feelings.
There's
nothing
that
I
can
say
that
I
think
you
choose
my
feelings.
No
thank
you
for
coming
and
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
and
the
one
thing
that
I
always
on
at
all
councilmember
Ellis
in
this.
When
we
have
discussions,
you
know
what
poor
were
poor
were
poor
community
and
I
think
that
poverty
makes
us
much
weaker
than
we
should
be
and
I
think
we
need
to
work
on
that.
T
As
much
as
these
discussions,
we
need
to
work
on
unemployment.
We
need
to
work
on
making
sure
our
kids
don't
have
to
suffer
and
gonna
have
to
be
scared
and
I,
don't
have
to
be
just
in
public
housing
or
affordable
housing.
We
have
to
be
part
of
this
society
and
there's
nothing.
You
know
it's
all.
Thank
you.
A
Well,
you
know
I
wanna
I
want
to
thank
you
all
I
want
to
thank
the
community
for
for
exhibiting
hope
by
showing
up
here
today.
You
know,
King
Demetrius,
started
out
by
saying
talking
about
the
t-shirt
that
he's
wearing
today
and
and
I'm
wearing
a
t-shirt
today
that
symbolizes
Michelle,
Obama
and
and
she
talked
about
giving
hope
to
her
children
and
how,
if
we
can't
have
hope,
then
there
is
nothing
left
for
us
to
do
on
this
planet
and
so
I
encourage
you
all
to
continue
to
stay.
A
Hopeful
continue
to
press
this
body
in
other
bodies,
we,
you
know,
meaning
the
Hennepin
County,
the
Minnesota
State
Legislature,
the
White
House
Department
of
Justice.
We
have
to
be
in
all
of
these
spaces,
demanding
accountability,
demanding
progress
continued
to
be
made
to
live
out
the
best
of
the
hopes
of
the
United
States
Constitution,
which
says
we
are
in
pursuit
of
life,
liberty
and
happiness,
and
we
have
to
bring
that
to
justice.
It
is
never
gonna
come
easily,
it's
only
gonna
come
with
struggle,
and
so
thank
you
for
being
here
today.
V
A
A
Q
A
A
W
W
W
W
W
I
just
want
to
know
also
that,
despite
the
allegations
and
speculations
that
led
up
to
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
arrived
in
to
that
address,
of
where
Thurmond
Blevins
was
at
whatever
the
process
was
that
was
tooken
upon
from
the
police.
It
wasn't
correct.
It
was
wrong,
meaning
that
whatever
they
did,
that
led
him
to
say.
Okay
I
need
to
run
it
hit
this
block,
he
was
afraid.
W
There's
no
science
to
figure
that
out.
I
want
everybody
to
know
that
it
was
not
rocket
science
and
about
the
gun.
Maybe
you
should
ask
yourself:
why
did
he
even
need
a
gun
period?
Why
do
people
need
a
gun?
Bodied
young
black
man
need
a
gun
on
the
street
period
extra
stuff
that
whoever
start
there?
Why
did
he
need
the
gun,
cuz?
That
will
answer
a
lot
of
your
questions
right
there
and
then,
if
you
want
to
pull
up
criminal
records,
let's
pull
up.
Yours
pull
up
mine,
cuz
I
got
one.
We
all
got
one.
W
So
that's
not
used
criminal
records.
Now,
let's
not
use
backgrounds
to
say,
okay,
hey
what
actions
was
took.
Him
was
justified
from
this
person's
background
because
it
wasn't
that's
murder.
These
two
officers
also
had
complaints
already
took
it
upon
him.
That
was
not
just
to
fight
at
all
from
the
court
system,
whatever
hey
and
I'm,
also
apologize
in
regards
to,
if
I'm,
not
up
here
speaking
as
legislative
or
whatever,
hey
I'm
here
to
get
the
point
across
and
I'm
thinkin
y'all
y'all
go
out
and
clear.
My
arm
they're
not
heated,
but
I'm.
W
Very
smart
and
I
graduated
from
a
historical
black
college
down
in
the
University
of
Chartres
University
in
North
Carolina.
So
don't
let
any
of
that
mistake.
You
I'm
just
very
upset,
as
well
as
my
family,
but
I
just
also
want
to
note
that
forget
the
video
footage
have
to
keep
from
crying
because
I'm
really
upset,
but
forget
the
video
footage,
because
also
the
video
footage-
hey
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
only
shows
from
him
running
into
the
alley
and
then
shooting
him
my
family
don't
want
to
see
you
killing.
W
My
brother
I
mean
my
cousin.
We
want
to
see
you
get
out.
The
car
hey,
put
your
hands.
I
want
to
see
that
process.
What
was
cooking?
What
happened
on
that
process?
For
my
cousin,
Satine,
hey,
they
say
right,
I
think
I
do
need
to
run
and
also
from
eyewitnesses.
He
had
a
gun
I,
don't
care
what
you
guys
got
to
say
he
denied,
oh
god,
no,
we
went,
we
went
to
everything,
will
get
justified
and
I
said
dimin.
That's
not
a
that's!
Not
me
asking
that's,
not
no
hope.
That's
a
demean!
W
There's
always
hopes
headed
on
me,
but
see
that's
kind
of
a
mistake
because
I
also
learned
in
my
life,
you
can
have
all
the
hope
you
run,
but
you
got
to
do
min.
You
got
atom
in
sting
mu,
C.
We
take
it
stands
now,
but
this
is
me
getting
on
the
stage
like
I
said:
I'm
Sydney,
Brown
I
take
the
last
thing
on
my
father,
but
we
got
blogging's
here
my
mother's
Elevens.
That
thermal
Evans
is
my
very
first
cousin.
W
Never
in
my
life
would
I
have
to
think
that
he
will
get
killed
by
the
police
with
all
that's
also
happening
in
a
world
right
now
and
I'm
also
here
to
Stanford
in
I'm
here
to
stand
for
y'all,
it's
wrong.
It's
very
wrong.
It's
so
wrong
now
see
we
would
have
been
okay
cuz.
We
understand
when
his
gang
on
gang
violence
is
just
you
know.
We
understand.
W
W
I
bet
you
did
because
the
blood
moons
the
Browns,
we
have
a
good
heart,
we
don't.
This
is
also
amazing
thing.
I
wanted
to
correct.
This
is
not
about
race.
We
don't
we
don't
cover
that.
We
don't
do
that.
We
do
black
and
white.
We
focus
on
that
every
time,
time
Nimba
that
we
also
seen
the
dynamics
behind
that
we
don't
get
no
justice.
When
are
we
doing
black
right,
because
y'all
wanna
play
the
car
at
that?
Oh,
it
should
be
all
eyes.
W
Many
not
just
black
lies
and
you're
right,
but
when,
when
you
look
at
the
scale
of
who's,
been
hurt,
more
and
who's
in
did
the
more
no
more
harm.
We're
not
gonna
play
those
games.
We
we
do
things
by
actual
ethical
facts,
dealing
with
ethical
dilemmas
that
are
really
justifying
whatever
is
going
down
on
the
Billboard.
We
what
we
look
at
all
aspects,
all
aspects
and
that's
what
I
want
y'all
to
do
in
this
case.
Look
at
our
aspects.
Look
at
the
double
course
that
was
already
took
it
upon
those
police
officers.
W
Maybe
maybe
they
was
mad
at
me
when
they
approached
my
cousin.
Maybe
they
were
a
little
upset
from
some
stuff
that
was
already
around
it
from
whatever
that
was
going
on.
You
got
that
when
we
talk
about
all
certain
people
holding
guns
and
this
and
mental
issues,
how
do
we
start
focusing
on
some
mental
issues
on
police
officers?
W
X
Y
X
X
This
video
is
gonna
show
the
initiative
why
they
jumped
out
the
way
they
did.
Despite
all
the
statements
and
everything,
people
saw
that
video
was
gonna,
give
us
that
the
end
results,
whether
or
not
he
had
a
gun
in
that
alley.
I,
don't
care
about
that!
I
want
to
know
why
the
police
took
it
upon
themselves
to
jump
off
the
car
with
a
little
baby
and
a
woman
there
so
aggressively
approaching
them
in
a
community
people
outside
with
their
pistols,
Ron
I,
am
afraid
and
still
shaking
for
her,
not
just
him
losing
him.
X
She
was
there.
She
saw
her
like
slash,
didn't
know
if
she
was
gonna
go
for
her
baby,
and
that
is
what
everybody
should
think
about
when
they
go
home
to
their
children
and
to
their
wife.
What
if
that,
would
have
been
them
in
that
situation?
Because
of
us,
you
know,
I,
don't
know
why
they
pulled
honestly
I,
don't
know
why
they.
There
was
a
cop
went
by
I.
Don't
know
why
the
another
one
went
by
I,
don't
they
were
looking
for
someone
in
the
area?
I
just
really
need
to
see
you
know
for
them.
X
That's
my
closure
is
I
want
to
see
that
footage,
but
I
mean
we
all
want
to
see
the
footage
right,
but
I
still
believe
it
needs
to
be
deeper
than
that.
It
needs
to
be
the
fact
that
they
got
out
the
end
result.
Is
there
we
all
know
the
end
result.
We
all
know
that,
but
I
want
to
know
why
we
still
have
these
police
officers
escalating
versus
de-escalating
the
situation
and
speaking
for
my
children,
they
are
distraught.
X
His
other
daughter
is
as
well.
You
know
what
they
said.
You
get
one
father,
you
know
and
he
was
taken
from
them.
Fortunately,
they
have
my
fiance
as
well,
but,
like
my
daughter,
told
me,
but
mom
I
only
get
one
father
and
I
will
never
be
able
to
give
her
that
back
those
memories
that
they
had
with
him
I.
You
know
we
just
got
to
keep
those
going.
X
You
know,
I
grew
up
with
him
as
well.
We
were
teenagers
together,
it's
how
we
have
these
children,
so
I
know
him
on
a
whole
another
level
which
the
media
is
not
going
to
present.
Of
course,
they're
gonna
show
all
the
you
know
what
they
want
you
to
see
and
portray
him
as
being
this
this
and
that,
but
at
the
end
of
day
he
was
human.
We
are
all
human
and
we
all
make
mistakes,
and
we
all
have
decisions
which
he
paid
his
time
for
so
that
that
day
it
was
a
different
time.
X
You
do
not
get
to
bring
that
up.
You
did
not
get
to
go
off
of
that.
Frank
Valentino's
the
police
knew
who
he
was.
What
he
pulled
up
so
I
just
believe
that
we
need
to
be
working
with
the
police
system
and
changing
that
and
the
way
that
police
are
doing
these
trainings
I,
don't
believe
in
these
combat
trainings.
There
needs
to
be
more
de-escalating.
Trainings
I,
understand
that
that's
a
different
entity
to
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department,
but
I
believe
that
they
should
be.
X
You
know
knowing
what
their
officers
are
doing
on
their
leisure
time
as
these
trainings,
because
when
you
are
trained
to
do
something,
that's
most
likely
the
training
you're
gonna
do
in
those
acts.
You're
not
gonna,
be
doing
the
training.
Maybe
you
learn
in
the
MPD,
so
I
feel
like
it
needs
to
be
that
and
it's
sad
that
my
kids
and
I
have
actually
went
and
went
to
these
protests
for
all
these
others
that
have
been
before
or
the
injustice
before,
and
now
they
get
to
do
it
for
their
own.
Dad.
X
X
U
U
U
On
the
police
part,
you
know,
there's
a
lot,
I
have
to
say
I,
just
don't
even
know
how
to
say
it.
You
know
me
it's
very
it's
very
hurtful
and
honestly,
you
know
what
I
mean.
The
only
thing
I
think
about
is.
Am
I
next
that's
my
baby
girl
idea
how
much
they
all
scare
to
get
pulled
over
by
the
police.
Now
I,
don't
know,
what's
going
to
happen.
U
Never
in
a
million
years,
when
I
ever
thought
that
my
cousin's
near
will
be
shot
down
like
that
mother
police,
someone
that
we
supposed
to
call
to
protect
us.
We
can't
even
do
that
anymore
and
that's
the
sad
part
about
everything
nobody
wants
to
call
the
police
anymore.
So
it's
like.
Do
we
for
my
own
and
create
our
own
justice?
Is
that
what
you
guys
really
want?
U
That's
a
serious
question:
does
it
really
take
for
our
people
to
rise
all
the
way
to
this
level
when
we're
holding
guns
and
we're
to
actually
fight
back
the
police?
That's
supposed
to
be
protecting
us
just
for
you
guys
to
see
where
we're
coming
from,
and
it's
like
at
what
point?
Do
we
really
realize
enough?
Is
enough
on
both
ends
and
again,
like
my
sister
said,
it's
not
about
a
black
and
white
thing.
I
haven't
I've,
never
had
a
problem
with
white
with
white
people
never
had
a
problem
with
Mexicans
any
any
type
of
race.
W
U
W
Because
Julian
has
a
very
small
family,
you
won't
hear
any
blevens
any
Browns
really
because
this
is
very
small.
It's
very
small.
We
don't
have
aunties
uncles,
like
everybody
else,
there's
so
much
to
have.
We
don't
that's.
Why
we're
so
hurt.
You
took
the
last
little
bit
of
our
generation
and
that's
so
deep
I,
don't
think
I
understand
that,
like
y'all
should
have
thought
before
believe
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
have
thought
before
y'all
acting
just
like
LT,
just
the
school
think
before
you
speak.
Thank
you
for
you
act.
What
about
you?
What
about
you?
W
What
about
you
guys?
You
guys
take
Maya,
knows
those
bein
little
life
aspects
that
shall
teach
your
children
and
that
you
teachers
as
we
grow
up
the
of
we
all
finally
reach
that
age
before
up
over
32
got
still
live
with
those
I.
Don't
think
I'll
do
because
which
I'll
say
and
I
got
tend
to
go
about.
Things
seems
to
me
that
y'all
really
aren't
some
true
real-life
Terry
Mari,
awesome,
idiots,
y'all
littering
are
ignorant
and
there's
so
much
more.
We
can
say
we're
not
gonna,
be
ugly
and
I
believe
in.
U
The
biggest
thing
is
I
hope
there
is
a
fair
investigation
with
this
case.
I
hope,
there's
nothing,
that's
hidden,
I
hope
everything
is
truthful
because
it
was
done
in
the
dark
will
come
to
the
light
and
there's
no
higher
name.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
we
want
justice
not
only
for
the
community
for
us,
but
the
biggest
justice
is
for
his
daughters.
A
Again,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
everybody
who
showed
up
here
today.
I
know
this
is
a
very
painful
and
tragic
moment
in
the
history
of
this
city
and-
and
it
has
been
stated
earlier,
these
these
incidents,
these
individual
incidents,
bring
for
all
of
the
accumulated
trauma
and
pain
that
has
been
going
on
here
in
Minneapolis
and
all
over
this
country
and
all
throughout
the
world.
So
thank
you
for
for
being
here.
My
heart
and
prayers
are
with
you,
the
family
of
mr.
Blevins
and
and
his
children,
and
so
thank
you
so.
A
I
do
ask
that
people
stick
around
for
the
rest
of
our
committee
meeting.
We
are
going
to
be
discussing
some
topics
that
I
think
are
again
traumatic,
but
we
have
some
some
opportunities
for
people
to
deal
with
some
of
that
trauma
in
pain
and
if
you
aren't
able
to
stay,
then
please
check
in
to
the
city's
website
and
learn
about
these
opportunities
so
that
we
can
try
to
help
bring
some
some
sense
to
all
the
madness
that
is,
that
is
going
on.
Z
Z
Z
That's
right:
I
I
did
not
grow
up
afraid
of
the
police
and,
and
that
is
because
of
the
color
of
my
skin.
I
did
not
grow
up
experiencing
discrimination
or
oppression,
and,
and
that
is
because
of
privilege.
I
did
not
grow
up
in
instances
where
my
loved
ones
or
my
friends
were
shot
by
law
enforcement
and
I
again.
I
can't
imagine
the
pain
that
you're
feeling
right
now
and
I'm,
so
sorry
to
the
rest
of
the
community
that
is
here
today.
Thank
you.
Z
Think
it's
good
for
me
to
hear
them
and
I
think
leaning
into
that
discomfort.
It's
something
that
I'm
trying
to
do.
I
haven't
always
been
successful,
but
I
am
trying
council
members,
especially
those
on
the
north
side,
councilmember
Jeremiah,
Ellison,
councilmember,
Philippe,
Cunningham,
you've
been
exemplary
leaders.
Z
Z
It's
something
that
I
believe
all
of
us
ran
on
and
I
do
want
to
be
as
transparent
as
possible.
The
way
that
this
system
has
previously
worked
is
that
all
information
is
turned
over
to
the
BCA,
and
then
none
of
it
is
revealed
until
usually
many
many
months
later,
at
a
time
when
there's
so
much
distrust
between
communities
and
the
police
that
are
charged
with
protecting
and
serving
them.
Z
Releasing
information
bits
at
a
time
and
trying
to
be
transparent
as
possible,
I'm
not
saying
that
I've
been
successful.
The
time
in
fact,
I
know
I've
failed
at
times,
but
I
am
but
I
do
want
to
do
this
as
expeditiously
and
as
quickly
and
as
fairly
as
possible.
I
will
be
releasing
the
body
camera
footage.
Thank
goodness
that
we
have
it
I.
Z
Will
and
and
then
we
will
be,
we
will
be
releasing
it
first.
I
do
think
that
it's
important
to
consult
with
with
you,
the
family.
You
know
talking
to
the
family
before
we've
released
the
footage
any
hearing
about
your
wishes.
I
think
is
really
the
first
step
in
all
of
this,
because
you're,
the
ones
that
are
experiencing
the
greatest
deal
of
pain
right
now.
Z
Z
E
Z
E
Z
A
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
at
that
I
am
closing
this
public
hearing.
This
is
no
longer
a
public
hearing,
it
has
been
closed
and
so,
if
there
are
outbreaks
or
interruptions,
I'm
gonna
have
to
ask
you
to
leave.
We
must
continue
to
conduct
the
business
of
the
city.
Absolutely
deeply
appreciate
everybody
taking
time
out
of
their
lives
to
come
here
and
share
this
information
with
us.
A
It
is
extremely
helpful
for
us
to
be
able
to
to
do
the
important
work
of
trying
to
right
these
wrongs
and
create
a
more
equitable
city
of
Minneapolis,
and
so
at
this
point
everyone
is
welcome
to
stay
in
this
meeting.
However,
if
there
are
interruptions
and
disruptions
and
we'll
have
to
ask
you
to
leave
so
I'm
gonna
call
the
regular
meeting
of
the
race
equity
subcommittee
together.
AA
And
thank
you,
council
vice
president
Jenkins,
for
having
us
today
and
to
the
full
council
for
supporting
this
series
again.
My
name
is
Kara
litovsky
I'm
here
today,
as
the
principal
consultant
with
Mill
City
consulting
and
with
Cindy
Booker
with
Sabath
aney
community
center,
and
we
just
have
a
couple
of
slides
I
appreciate
that
you
guys
took
the
time
to
listen
to
the
community
about
the
incident
that
happened
and
thanks
for
letting
us
be
around
for
that
there
was
a
handout
that
went
out.
Did
everybody
get
a
copy
of
that?
Yes,.
AA
So
through
the
multi
event,
series
racism,
rent
and
real
estate,
Fair
Housing
reframed
we're
going
to
use
that
history
of
and
current
organizing
in
Minneapolis
and
Hennepin
County
communities
to
explore
the
history
of
racial
segregation
and
housing
that
led
to
the
Fair
Housing
Act
identify
how
racialized
barriers
to
housing
still
manifest
today
and
create
a
community
and
political
will
to
make
a
change.
So
let
me
see
if
I
can
change
this
now.
AA
So
together
there
a
dozen
organizations
that
have
come
together
to
make
this
series
happen.
It
is
being
convened
by
the
mapping,
prejudice,
project,
Minnesota,
Housing,
Partnership
and
Mill
City.
Consulting
all
the
event.
Partners
include:
sabath
Anika,
Community,
Center,
Preserve
Minneapolis,
central
area,
Neighborhood
Development
Organisation,
Hennepin,
History,
Museum,
Hennepin,
County,
Library,
Jewish,
Community,
Action,
village,
Trust
University
of
Minnesota
Center
for
Urban
and
Regional
affairs,
Iraq
equity
in
place,
the
African
career
and
education
resources
Inc
and
the
Minneapolis
Urban,
League
and
others
are
added
daily,
isn't.
A
AA
Also
want
to
point
out
that
the
series
is
financially
sponsored
by
the
University
of
Minnesota
imagine
fund
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
Hennepin,
County,
common
bond
communities,
a
on
Wellington
management
and
the
family
housing
fund.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
support,
your
financial
support
as
well.
AA
So
just
a
couple
reasons
about
why
we
are
doing
this
here
is
the
homeowner
home
owners,
Loan,
Corporation,
red
line
map
of
Minneapolis
and
fundamentally
we're
doing
this
series,
because
housing
is
a
central
and
urgent
issue
in
communities
throughout
our
region
today,
with
tenants
of
color
being
exploited
by
landlords
and
home
ownership
rates
for
african-american
households
and
other
households
of
color
in
the
Twin
Cities
remaining
the
lowest
in
the
nation.
But
there
are
these
historical
antecedents
to
this
situation.
AA
This
series
is
going
to
use
the
history
of
Minneapolis
as
racial
discrimination
and
housing,
the
structural
racism
codified
in
government
law
and
policy
that
intentionally
created
segregated
housing,
landscape
that
economically
privileged
white
people.
Those
policies,
including
redlining
and
racial
covenants,
are
part
of
our
past,
as
you
guys
well
known,
and
the
legacy
has
created
the
lived
realities
of
communities
of
color
today.
AA
But
as
we're
unveiling
the
history
that
led
to
present-day
racial
disparities
in
our
communities,
we
also
want
to
reveal
the
history
of
resistance
to
racially
the
racially
discriminatory
system.
There
were
also
always
people
communities,
organizations
and
campaigns
to
fight
against
these
common
practices.
Just
like
today's
tenant
and
community
organizers,
policymakers
organizations
that
are
mobilizing
against
unfair
housing
practices
to
build
power
on
their
own
terms
and
pressing
for
solutions
based
on
community
needs.
AA
So,
as
the
series
progresses,
we
were
both
shift
from
revealing
the
history
to
shining
light
on
current
challenges
and
ending
with
a
conversation
about
the
future
and
what
we
as
a
community,
can
do
to
help
remedy
the
problem.
So,
through
the
series
we
will
engage
a
wide
range
of
stakeholders
and
community
members
to
understand
our
shared
history,
listen
to
the
directly
impacted
communities
and
create
the
political
will
to
move
forward,
so
a
couple
more
slides
and
then
you
get
to
hear
from
the
scene.
AA
So
these
are
the
goals
for
the
series
educate
the
broader
community,
about
our
largely
unrecognized
history
of
housing.
Discrimination
engage
in
surface
knowledge
from
community
members
who
have
been
impacted
by
housing
challenges
and
discrimination,
connect
past
racist
policies
and
practices
to
current
racial
biases
that
impact
housing
explore
the
benefits
and
harms
incurred
in
the
name
of
the
Fair
Housing
Act
itself
broaden
the
discussion
about
housing
by
humanizing
the
issue
and
making
it
currently
inaccessible
to
people's
real
lives.
Catalyze
conversation
that
change
the
grand
narrative
and
help
build
political
will
and
translate
this
awareness
into
action.
AA
AB
It's
not
because
I'm
nervous
today,
but
this
is
very
emotional
for
me
to
go
through
a
process.
What
I
just
witnessed,
I
grew
up
in
south
Minneapolis,
I
grew
up
with
redlining
and
my
father
was
shot
when
I
was
1
years.
Old
and
I
never
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
him,
but
thanks
to
the
community
of
Samantha
knee
and
everyone
around
us
who
said
they
would
make
a
difference
from
those
differences,
they
decided
to
say:
hey
the
Minneapolis
Public
Schools
from
those
differences.
AB
The
Bethany
is
home
to
the
largest
food
shelf
in
south
Minneapolis
each
year.
It
causes
us
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
feed
11
percent
of
Minneapolis
population.
We
receive
no
government
funding
for
that
every
day.
My
team
has
to
come
up
with
different
grants.
Proposals
and
I
have
to
go
out
with
different
people
to
try
to
make
up
that
difference.
If
someone
will
say,
instead
of
doing
all
that
work
disclose
the
food
shop,
if
I
close
the
food
shelf,
do
you
know
what
that
would
do
to
our
community?
AB
Do
you
know
what
that
would
do
to
Minneapolis
what
that
would
do
to
the
bus
lines?
So
that's
why
I
really
hope
this
series
can
make
a
huge
difference
for
people
understanding
what
really
happened
in
our
community
for
people
to
understand
what
really
needs
to
be
done,
and
it's
not
just
the
limit
to
the
police
force.
It's
not
just
limit
to
the
public
schools.
It's
not
limited
to
you
guys.
AB
A
A
They
all
have
to
be
looked
at
as
as
a
whole
and
interrelated,
and
so
I
want
to
thank
you
for
for
doing
the
series
and
for
bringing
these
issues
over
to
the
council
and
I'm
looking
to
see.
If
any
of
my
colleagues
have
any
further
comments
to
add
to
your
presentation
and
I
see
councilmember
I'm.
Sorry,
president
bender
has
some
comments.
Council.
R
R
The
presentation
is
strikingly
similar
to
our
current
zoning
map
and,
as
we
started,
the
process
of
updating
our
comprehensive
plan,
I
think
cpad
staff
did
a
really
good
job
of
noting
that
history
and
being
very
clear
and
explicit
in
their
research
and
in
the
goals
that
we
had
adopted
last
term
as
a
council
about
acknowledging
the
history
of
explicit
racial
exclusion
and
housing
and
tying
it
to
our
current
regulatory
structure
that
has
not
eliminated,
but
instead
has
reinforced
racial
exclusion
and
housing
in
many
ways.
But
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
I.
R
We
have
to
talk
about
housing
and
that
these
issues
are
not
separate.
They
are
related
and
as
our
responsibility
every
time
we
look
at
a
policy
change
or
a
budget
decision
to
look
at
it
through
a
lens
of
race,
equity
and
understand
how
our
actions
are
reinforcing
these
patterns
or
disrupting
them.
So
I
just
wanted
to
reinforce
that,
and
thank
you
very
much
again.
A
With
that
I
move
that
we
receive
and
file
this
presentation,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
those
opposed,
say,
nay.
That
item
carries
and
thank
you
so
much,
and
can
you
just
one
one
more
thing:
can
you
just
announce
the
OIC
it's
right
here
on
the
screen
announced
the
series
and
the
upcoming
dates
that
are
associated
with
it
great.
A
AA
We
have
some
organizing
to
do
about
around
that
one
still,
the
next
one
that
is
open
is
gonna,
be
the
Hennepin
History
Museum
they're
gonna
do
an
exhibit
and
then
there
will
be
an
exhibit
opening
reception
on
August
23rd.
We
will
also
be
doing
some
programming
around
that
exhibit
including
a
presentation
from
the
mapping
prejudice
project
people,
so
that
would
be
the
next
one
to
pay
attention
to
and.
P
AA
A
Then
my
my
last
couple
of
comments.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
acknowledge.
Mr.
Booker,
we
hear
you
about
the
necessary
support
for
sabaton
e
community
center.
It's
an
important
institution
to
South
Minneapolis,
as
well
as
to
the
broader
community
in
Minneapolis,
and
so
you
know
we
are
going
to
do
all
that
we
can
to
help
support
those
efforts
there
and
then
I'm
I'm
curious
is
I
know
your
last
slide
said:
how
do
we
move
this
awareness
to
action?
AA
We
would
be
happy
to
share
what
we
come
up
with.
The
last
event
is
October
25th,
and
that
is
the
future
of
fair
housing.
Where
do
we
go
from
here?
Your
former
colleague,
Elizabeth
Glidden
will
be
helping
to
organize
that
event
with
the
Minnesota
Housing
Partnership,
and
we
would
be
happy
to
share.
However,
you
want
it,
okay,
what
comes
out
of
that
and.
A
Thank
you
both.
So
much
I
really
appreciate
all
of
the
efforts
in
the
work
that
has
been
being
done
and
for
you
coming
here
today
and
sharing
that
presentation
with
us.
Thank
you.
So
much
item
number
2
on
our
agenda
is
resiliency
in
community
at
the
stress
and
trauma
we
cast
a
program
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
we're
going
to
hear
an
update
from
them.
I
really
just
you
know,
I
get
the
the
trauma
of
the
people
who
came
here
to
really
express
their
deep
concern
about
these
issues.
A
A
But
you
know,
hopefully
we
have
some
creative
ways
to
get
this
information
out
to
communities
so
that
so
that
they
can
benefit
from
the
really
important
work
that
you
guys
are
about
to
share
with
us
today.
So
with
that
I'd
like
to
invite
miss
Jo,
March
Stevens
from
the
city's
division
of
race
and
equity,
to
join
us
at
a
podium.
Thank
you.
Thank.
Y
As
the
wreath
test
team
were
often
called
upon
when
things
happen
to
hold
space
to
be
available
to
both
staff
into
community
and
and
it's
important
work,
and
it's
work
that
I
know
that
behalf
of
the
team
we're
very
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
do
it,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
it
was
still
women
of
color
and
we're
deeply
impacted
by
these
events,
and
so
I
need
to
offer
my
own
humanity.
In
this
moment.
Y
I
did
not
anticipate
coming
up
here
and
shedding
tears,
but
it's
really
hard
to
be
here
in
this
space.
After
what
we've
just
experienced.
This
work
gives
me
a
lot
of
hope,
but
but
I
know
that
it's
not
enough
to
address
the
hurt
so
offer
that
so
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
team
who
doesn't
want
coal
and
ebony
added
I,
hear
they're.
Y
Both
two
program
managers
on
recast
covering
north
and
south
Minneapolis
Christina
mentor,
miniature
of
Villa
Grande-
is
not
here
today,
but
she's
a
program
associate
working
primarily
on
communications
and
some
of
our
special
projects.
Doing
really
amazing
work
and
very
grateful
for
it.
We
were
going
to
show
a
video.
Y
We
had
actually
interspersed
some
multimedia
into
our
presentation,
because
we
use
a
lot
of
story
to
tell
the
story
of
the
work
and
of
the
importance
of
the
work,
but
in
the
essence
of
time,
I'm
gonna
skip
at
least
my
video
offer
to
the
rest
of
the
team,
the
opportunity
to
share
their
pieces
of
it
and
just
dive
into
the
framing
of
the
work.
So
Rita's
Minneapolis
is
a
federally
funded
program
through
the
Department
of
Health
and
Human
Services,
specifically,
the
substance
abuse
and
mental
health
services
administration.
Y
Following
in
this
some
and
the
in
the
spring
of
2015
nope.
Sorry
take
a
step
back
in
the
spring.
In
2016,
the
federal
government
made
some
funding
available
to
those
cities
who
had
experienced
mass
protests
following
a
shooting
death
of
who
they
framed
us
and
on
our
black
man.
It
was
really
very
much
steered
and
motivated
by
the
protests
in
Ferguson
mark
igniting
that
the
events
in
Ferguson
were
not
just
unique
to
Ferguson,
but
had
happened
in
many
cities
across
the
nation.
Y
At
the
time
that
the
funding
award
was
available,
there
were
12
cities
that
qualified
Minneapolis
being
the
most
recent
city
with
the
with
the
shooting
death
of
Jamar
Clark
in
November
2015.
At
the
time
they
were
prepared
to
award
up
to
11
grants
to
sites,
and
so
for
us
it
was
pretty
much
a
no-brainer
to
go
ahead
and
apply
for
the
funding.
The
beauty
of
the
funding
is
that
it
does
allow
for
significant
capacity-building
inside
of
our
communities.
Y
During
the
18
deoxidation,
we
learned
a
lot
from
community
about
how
many
people
were
showing
up
holding
space
who
were
giving
of
themselves
many
people
at
the
expense
of
their
own
health,
their
employment,
their
housing.
In
order
to
show
up
for
other
people
and
recognizing
that
we
had
a
real
opportunity
with
these
funds
to
help
shift.
Some
of
that.
How
do
we
help
community
care
for
itself
and
at
the
same
time,
how
do
we
help
our
internal
staff?
Y
We're
also
struggling
to
be
able
to
do
their
jobs
effectively
in
communities
recognizing
that
they
did
not
have
the
level
of
training
around
how
to
understand
trauma
and
how
to
both
deal
with
secondary
trauma,
that
they
were
experiencing
primary
trauma
that
they
were
experiencing
or
even
relating
to
communities,
particularly
particularly
our
marginalized
communities,
who
were
carrying
trauma
on
a
regular
basis.
So,
in
the
first
round
of
funding,
eight
cities
were
awarded
a
grant
Minneapolis
being
one
of
them,
along
with
Baltimore
Barrett
County
and
Texas
Chicago
Flint
Milwaukee
Oakland
and
st.
Louis
County.
Y
We
were
very
fortunate
to
get
that
maximum
mobile
award,
which
is
a
five-year
grant,
and
a
million
dollars
a
year
to
allocate
to
this
work.
One
of
the
unique
models
with
recast
Minneapolis
is
unlike
a
lot
of
other
grants
they
may
come
into
the
city
is
a
decision
making
around
how
these
funds
are
allocated
comes
from
community.
Y
That
was
the
expectation
with
our
funders
that
we
build
a
community
table
who
helps
us
define
what
the
needs
are,
that
the
program
needs
to
address,
helps
us
to
set
the
goals
in
a
strategic
plan
and
then
helps
us
to
implement
and
provide
oversight
to
that
plan.
So
that
was
pretty
much
the
bigot,
the
majority
of
the
first
year
of
that
funding,
we
were
awarded
the
grant
in
the
fall
of
2016
and
we're
now
wrapping
up
closely
the
second
year
of
the
funds
in
our
great
patien.
Y
We
were
very
intentional
recognizing
that
our
trauma
that
certainly
the
Jamar
Clark
shooting
happened
in
North
Minneapolis,
but
also
recognizing
that
systemic
racism
as
the
root
cause
of
the
trauma
our
communities
are
facing.
It's
also
all
across
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
It's
not
just
unique
to
North
Minneapolis.
So
we
looked
at
many
factors:
around
employment,
unemployment,
housing,
income,
inequality,
the
the
presence
of
people
of
color,
a
myriad
set
of
factors.
We
looked
at
to
help
determine
what
were
the
actual
areas
of
geographic
focus
that
we
were
going
to
look
at
for
recast
Minneapolis.
Y
For
the
most
part
out
of
the
course
of
our
engagement
with
our
community
members,
we
were
able
to
lift
up
three
core
values
that
guide
the
work
that
we
do,
first
and
foremost,
greater
trust
and
understanding,
recognizing
that
there
is
a
lot
of
mistrust
between
government
and
community,
community
and
government,
and
so
we
want
to
be
able
to
utilize
recast
Minneapolis
as
a
vehicle
through
which
to
build
and
establish
trust
or
trust.
That's
not
existed
in
the
past.
Y
So
how
can
we
deepen
understanding
of
self
and
of
one
another
across
culture
across
barriers
across
roles
and
positions,
so
that
we
can
find
better
ways
to
work
together
and
minimize
the
trauma
and
the
stress
inside
of
our
communities,
secondarily
increasing
the
capacity
around
trauma
and
around
resilience,
both
inside
of
our
city
institution
as
well
as
outside
in
our
community?
How
do
we
help
educate
our
community
and
ourselves
around?
What
trauma
is
how
trauma
shows
up
in
our
lives,
and
how
do
we
address
that?
Y
How
do
we
build
greater
resilient
skills
and
better
self-care
skills
so
that
we
have
the
ability
to
navigate
traumatic
events
and,
lastly,
around
shared
decision-making?
Again
I
reference
back
that
brick
house
Minneapolis
is
a
community
driven
program,
the
decision-making
around
how
we
allocate
funds
in
the
program
again
come
from
community,
but
we
also
want
to
Center
shared
decision-making.
How
do
we
create
spaces
so
that
we
can
have
partnerships,
true,
authentic
partnerships
with
community
and
with
city
staff
and
making
decisions
around
how
we
move
this
work
forward?
Y
So
there
are
a
few
ways
within
the
program
that
we
try
to
set
those
tables
so
that
our
staff
and
our
community
members
are
working
together
for
a
more
equitable
and
less
traumatic
future.
For
us,
there
are
four
buckets
of
work
that
basically
shape
what
recast
Minneapolis
does
some
of
those
buckets
of
work
are
places
where
we
do
engage
staff
and
residents,
and
some
of
them
are
strictly
just
for
the
residents
of
the
city
des
rollin.
Y
An
ebony
will
talk
in
greater
detail
about
what's
in
each
of
these
buckets
I'm,
just
gonna
give
you
a
quick
sort
of
overview
and
then
they'll
dig
a
little
bit
deeper
and
talk
about
also
what
some
of
that
work
has
looked
like
from
a
practical
sense
and
what
some
of
the
impact
has
been
so
for
seven
residents.
We
do
center
work
on
healing
and
training
which
again
gets
back
to
the
capacity-building
around
trauma
and
around
resilience,
but
also
Roma
trust
building.
Secondarily,
to
that
again,
the
shared
decision-making.
Y
How
are
we
working
together
as
a
community
and
as
a
city
staff
to
actually
make
make
decisions
together
both
around
trauma
and
resilience,
but
then
also
around
systems
and
policy?
How
can
we
work
together
effectively
to
shift
policy?
The
residents
also
have
investments
in
leadership
development,
particularly
with
youth.
One
of
the
key
areas
of
opportunity
that
Samsa
saw
with
the
funding
was
who
they
determined
to
be
high
risk
youth
in
community
Jara.
Y
We
investing
resources
into
community
to
grow
youth
leadership
around
trauma
around
resilience
and
helping
them
to
make
decisions
for
themselves
that
are
about
creating
a
better
future
for
themselves
and
then,
lastly,
around
trauma
healing
services.
We
recognize
the
need
for
both
access
to
licensed
mental
and
behavior
behavior
health
services,
but
then
also
for
community
cultural
healers.
These
are
the
invisible
people
who
were
working
working
alongside
community
following
the
shooting
death
of
Jamar
Clark
during
the
occupation.
These
are
the
people
who
show
up
in
community
now
following
the
death
of
of
Thurman
Blevins.
Y
These
are
people
who
are
often
doing
this
work
under
resource
or
without
resources
coming
out
of
their
own
pocket.
So
with
trauma
healing
services,
we're
looking
to
put
resources
into
these
communities
and
with
these
individuals
so
that
they
can
more
effectively
do
the
work
that
they're
doing
without
harming
themselves.
AC
Thank
you,
evany
I
do
as
Tony
mentioned,
and
one
of
the
program
managers
for
recast,
Minneapolis,
working
primarily
in
South,
Minneapolis
I,
appreciate
the
space
today
and
you
taking
the
time
for
the
first
two
hours
to
hear
public
comment.
It's
really
important
to
our
work,
and
so
I
really
am
grateful
for
you
naming
and
staying
at
the
moment.
AC
My
work
is
I
have
two
of
the
buckets
for
recast
Minneapolis,
one
of
them
being
around
shared
decision-making.
As
joi
talked
about,
it's
really
important
for
our
work
to
make
sure
that,
as
we
are
planning
our
programming,
that
community
members
and
city
staff
are
with
us
in
the
process
around
how
we're
doing
those
things
and
so
for
shared
decision-making,
a
key
goal
for
recast
is
providing
space
and
services
to
community
members
when
bad
things
happen,
such
as
the
shooting
this
past
weekend.
We
first
used
this
model
last
year
with
the
llanes
verdict.
AC
We
can
beam
daily
touchpoint
calls
with
organizations
such
as
the
Urban
League,
new
creation
Church
during
a
limited
can't
a
circle,
north
quaint
health
and
wellness
and
other
partners
totaling
about
12,
to
help
us
think
about
how
we
could
best
support
community.
During
that
time.
As
a
result
of
those
efforts,
as
I
mentioned,
we
were
able
to
hold
12
12
partners
came
together.
We
were
able
to
hold
space
for
85
residents,
at
least
across
different
listening
sessions.
We
were
on
the
radio.
AC
We
were
able
to
produce
some
videos
which
I
will
let
you
see
a
little
bit
later
and
some
other
efforts
to
really
support
the
community.
During
that
time
we
have
also
responded.
Similarly,
with
the
announcement
of
the
charges
against
officer
Noir
back
in
March,
we
were
able
to
convene
two
community
listening
sessions
shortly
after
that
announcement.
A
AC
As
a
result
of
Saturday's
shooting
of
Thurman
Blevins,
may
he
rest
in
peace.
We
are
also
checking
in
with
community
organizations
to
see
what
is
happening
organically
and
how
we
can
support
these
community-based
efforts.
We
convene
a
phone
call
early
Monday
morning,
consisting
of
our
advisory
team
members,
city
staff
and
other
community
organizations
and
partners
to
get
a
better
idea
of
how
we
can
move
forward,
and
some
of
those
efforts
are
still
unfolding
and
days.
One
of
the
strategies
and
ideas
that
germinated
from
the
phone
call
was
the
need.
AB
AC
About
longer
term
strategies,
because
the
stuff
keeps
happening
I've
been
here
two
years
for
three
times
already.
We
have
responded
in
this
immediate
way,
and
so
we
were
trying
to
think
about
as
trauma
continues
to
unfold,
whether
because
of
a
officer-involved
shooting
or
something
happening
at
the
federal
level.
How
do
we
support
communities
in
the
best
way
to
build
out
a
readiness
response,
recovery
protocol,
so
we're
not
just
reacting,
but
we
can
be
more
proactive,
which
sometimes
feels
really
defeating,
because
it
recognizes
that
the
trauma
continues
to
happen
until
we
change
these
systems.
AC
But
what
we're
wanting
to
do?
We've
we've
done
a
lot
of
community
engagement
with
city
staff
and
community
members
around
what
this
looks
like
and
we're
in
the
process
of
revamping
a
protocol
that
we
hit
actually
designed
earlier
this
year
to
do
just
that,
we
have
also
had
brave
safeSpace
conversations
which
have
been
about
convening
city
staff
together
to
have
them
talk
about,
what's
happening
for
them
in
these
moments,
as
Joe
mentioned,
I'm
sure
does
a
limb
one
mention
as
black
women
in
the
City
Hall.
AC
So
I'm
gonna
move
to
the
next
slide.
We
also
produce
a
series
of
videos
called
black
joy
videos.
We
worked
with
response
to
the
falando,
Castile
shooting
and
the
verdict
against
a
person,
or
we
were
able
to
partner
with
Russell
American
who
used
this
model.
Similarly,
for
MPD,
we
developed
a
series
of
videos
as
a
tool
to
counter
traumatic
images
of
violence
on
black
bodies,
with
images
of
well-known
community
members
seeking
and
benefiting
from
mental
health
and
wellness
and
self-care.
These
videos
are
online
on
YouTube
in
the
interest
of
time.
AC
I'm
not
gonna
play
it,
but
I
do
want
to
highlight
that
they're
really
high-quality
and
it
gives
people
an
opportunity
to
really
look
like.
In
spite
of
what
is
happening
to
us.
We
still
have
access
to
joy.
We
still
have
access
to
hope.
We
still
have
access
to
liberation,
in
spite
of
all
of
the
things
that
are
going
on
next
slide.
I
also
want
to
talk
about
our
and
Tom.
H
AC
You
but
I
encourage
you
and
I
think
they
often
recast
Facebook
page.
We
have
posted
a
few
of
them
enlighten
what
is
happening
they're
also
on
Facebook,
our
recast,
Facebook
page.
If
you
have
not
like
that,
there
are
some
things
that
we
have
been
trying
to
support
this
week
as
a
result
of
the
shooting
on
Saturday,
so
I
will
move
into
our
healing
and
trauma
training
work.
AC
We
have
three
main
areas
of
how
we
are
wanting
to
build
capacity
for
not
just
community
members
but
city
staff
to
have
a
better
understanding
of
how
we
show
up
when
bad
things
happen.
One
of
the
first
projects
I
want
to
mention
is
our
history
of
race
projects
and
specifically
the
immigrant
and
Refugee
work.
AC
Anyone
who
has
been
on
the
third
floor,
we
are
on
the
third
floor,
but
who
will
go
around
the
corner
head
would
see
that
beautiful,
beautiful
way
that
happened
as
a
result
of
a
collaboration
with
clue
ways
with
space,
murals
and
creative
city
making
program
to
bring
a
group
of
10
Latino
immigrants
together
to
share
their
immigration
experiences.
Those
stories
created
the
mirror
hanging
that
you
will
see.
I
really
encourage
you
to
go,
see
it.
AC
If
you
haven't
city,
employees
have
been
invited
to
join
the
group
to
paint
the
mural
and
develop
deeper
relationships
with
community
members
as
a
result
of
this
project.
There
are
six
45-minute
sessions
happening
tomorrow.
There
is
a
June
twenty
eighth
throughout
the
day
to
dive
deeper
into
the
imagery
of
the
mural
and
allow
other
city
staff
to
gain
more
understanding
of
the
community
in
the
project
as
a
whole,
and
we
anticipate
wrapping
up
that
project
tomorrow.
So.
AC
Primary
geographical
focus
was
south
Minneapolis.
There
is
another
project
unfolding
in
North
Minneapolis,
working
with
4,000,
more
creative
and
community
partners
such
as
North
Point,
Homewood
studios,
Minneapolis,
Urban
League,
the
MPD.
We
are
collecting
a
hundred
oral
histories
from
past
and
present
residents
of
the
Plymouth
pen
corridor.
Once
those
stories
are
collected,
we
will
invite
local
artists
to
use
the
unedited
raw
interviews
to
create
art
that
can
be
displayed
in
City,
Hall
or
throughout
the
community.
The
project's
kickoff
event
is
tomorrow
from
6
to
8
p.m.
at
the
Minneapolis
Urban
League.
AC
So
that's
the
come
passing
model
we've
been
able
to
work
with
a
variety
of
trainers
to
provide
space
for
community
members
and
cultural
healers
and
faith-based
leaders
and
mental
and
behavioral
health
providers.
People
who
work
with
youth
in
their
families
and
youth
themselves
to
learn
those
different
things
we
held
our
first.
We
kicked
off
this
work
back
in
November,
we
partnered
with
Kent
a
circle
for
their
Fall
Conference
about
understanding,
white
supremacist
effect
on
the
body,
and
we
also
partner
with
them.
AC
In
their
spring
conference,
we
were
able
to
sponsor
people
to
attend
something
that
was
already
happening
and
going
on
in
community
in
the
has
proven
results
in
within
community.
We
also
partner
with
the
black
men's
healing
conference,
just
as
recently
as
last
week
to
provide
people
opportunity
to
go
and
participate
in
that
conference.
We
have
also
hired
trainers
to
provide
space
for
community
members.
We
started
convening
those
trainers
back
in
January.
We
had
really
dynamic
winter
sessions.
AC
They
include
Simmons
consulting
Liberty
Community
Church,
which
was
formerly
Kwanzaa
abdul
razak,
consulting
and
social
architecture,
irreducible
grace
foundation,
Rachel
Martin,
Roxanne,
Andersen,
Melissa
Olsen,
the
Phoenix
Rising
collective
wilder
foundation
embraces
Leadership
Academy
and
we're
also
looking
to
partner
with
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Health.
To
do
some
suicide
prevention
work
as
well,
and
so
the
scope
of
the
work
is
really
really
broad,
because
our
needs
are
really
really
broad.
AC
So
far,
we've
had
over
a
hundred
and
forty
unique
participants
as
a
result
of
the
support
that
we've
been
able
to
offer
in
this
area
and
have
had
ongoing
sessions
throughout
the
summer.
I
really
do
urge
you
to
like
our
Facebook
page
and
spread
the
events
that
we
will
be
having
on
there.
I
want
to
get
to
our
internal
training.
AC
They've
also
did
some
training
around
2nd
and
secondary
and
vicarious
trauma,
meaning
somebody
asks
before,
like
the
mental
health
of
cops
like
what
does
that
look
like.
We
know
that
people
who
are
doing
this
work
do
experience
trauma
because
of
them
being
in
frontlines,
but
then
their
own
histories
as
well.
So
just
really
naming
that
we
all
have
work
that
we
have
to
do
in
order
to
be
well
as
a
city
and
as
a
community.
W
AC
Also
partner
with
resident
minikin
to
do
this
cultural,
somatic
and
psychological
first
aid
training,
which
is
an
evidence-based
trauma-informed
approach
that
has
built
on
the
concept
of
human
resilience.
97
staff
will
be
trained
in
this
approach
by
the
end
of
the
summer.
So
that's
what
I
have.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity.
Thank.

This
service
that
you
have
taken
on
on
behalf
of
the
city
and
and
of
our
community
to
help
heal
and-
and
please
continue
to
to
take
care
of
yourselves
in
that
process.
Audrey
Lord
says
that
self
preservation
is
an
act
of
resistance,
so
take
the
time
to
take
care
of
yourselves
as
well,
and
with
that,
let's
call
please.
AE

AE

Recast
connect
funds
are
also
a
part
of
this
work.
They're
used
for
reimbursements
to
providers,
mainly
these
cultural
healers,
building
up
their
capacity
to
do
this
work
funds
can
be
used
to
stipend
participants
for
coming
to
like
healing
sessions
or
venting
sessions.
People
can
use
funds
for
rekey
and
other
body
healing
work.
They
can
use
it
for
any
sort
of
trauma-informed
care
services
and
this
website
is
live
and
active
and
people
can
start
accessing
resources.
AE
We
know
that
these
individuals
are
providing
trauma,
support
and
community
with
little-to-no
resources,
and
so
we
are
very
intentional
in
reaching
out
and
so
I
ask
that
you
join
us
in
this
dedicated
effort
and
sharing
this
information
across
your
wards,
because
we
know
that
they're
out
there.
We
know
that
they're
doing
the
work
and
we
know
that
they're
not
being
compensated
for
it,
and
we
have
an
opportunity
to
do
just
that.
AE
AE
Right,
sorry
max,
why
does
youth
leadership
and
development-
and
this
is
I
will
say
this
is
where
my
heart
beats
the
most,
because
we
get
to
use
the
voices
of
youth
to
influence
the
way
that
we
do
the
work
in
recast
under
this
youth
leadership
and
development
work.
So,
as
we
begin
to
imagine
what
this
work
was
going
to
look
like
one
of
our
first
steps
was
reaching
out
and
working
with
the
health
department
through
the
inspiring
youth
program.
We
also
worked
with
my
brothers
keepers,
and
that
was
out
of
the
mayor's
office.
AE
That
was
a
little
bit
before
my
time,
but
we
were
able
to
do
that
work
as
well.
We
also
were
able
to
work
with
the
youth,
Coordinating,
Board
and
Youth
Congress
and
in
fact
we
are
able
to
partner
with
the
youth
Coordinating
Board
to
support
them
in
the
rolling
out
of
the
my
CPAP
app
that
app
is
designated
to
give
resources
and
services
around
mental
health
to
youth,
and
so
we're
really
excited
that
that
would
be
coming
out
and
launching
towards
the
end
of
the
summer.
AE
Our
next
steps,
when
looking
at
opportunities
where
youth
could
use
their
voices
and
and
build
the
table,
was
looking
at
why
power
white
power
is
youth,
participatory
action,
research,
and
this
is
an
innovative
approach
to
positive
youth
and
community
development
based
in
social
justice
principles
in
which
young
people
are
trained
to
conduct
systematic
research
to
improve
their
lives,
their
communities
and
institutions
that
are
intended
to
serve
them.
We
leverage
the
expertise
of
the
Youth
Congress,
who
help
score
our
applications
and
make
recommendations
for
us
to
choose
our
consultant,
which
is
north
news.
AE
The
next
time
there's
resources
available
for
them,
and
that
was
an
amazing
recommendation
and
we're
actually
embedding
that
through
our
other
processes,
we
knew
that
it
was
deeply
important
to
understand
how
you've
divine
to
find
themselves
as
as
youth
define
their
own
personal
trauma
to
find
trauma
and
community
violence.
That's
happening
currently
understand
their
coping
skills
and
practices
and
what
equipped
them
to
move
through
that.
AE
Today
we
have
done
a
twenty
interviews.
Our
goal
is
to
complete
seventy
five
to
a
hundred
over
the
course
of
the
summer.
We
begin
interviewing
youth
that
Henry
high
school
North
High
School
in
Oak
Park,
and
we
are
engaging
Brian
Coyle
connections
to
independence,
avenues
in
little
earth
community
in
the
next
few
weeks
to
complete
interviews
as
well.
So
we
do
have
a
clip
that
I
want
to
show
you
that
I
want
you
guys
to
hear.
V
Like
you
can't
really
escape
it
like
really
a
lot
of
people
that
hide
the
trauma
and
like
drugs
and
drink
it,
but
like
that's,
not
really
a
way
to
escape
it.
It's
just
like
it
was
just
like
numb
the
pain
for
a
little
bit
so
a
few
hours
for
a
day
or
two,
but
like
it's
not
going
like
you're,
always
gonna,
remember
you
know
it
always
come
back
to
you.
It's
always
deep
pain,
deep
inside
things
that
you
always
remember
that
you
won't
be
able
to
ever
forget
you.
V
V
Mean
I,
don't
think
it's
I
wouldn't
say
like
get
over
it.
The
like
kind
of
like
no
my
trauma
and
like
kind
of
like
I,
know
this
artist.
His
name
will
crave.
He
you
got
a
nice
quote
that
I,
like
it
he's
talking
about
with
naming
your
wounds.
Like
you,
gotta
know,
you
won't
like
name
your
bones
and,
like
you
know,
and
by
name
your
rules
and
be
able
to
heal
you,
you
know
you.
V
L
V
AE
So
as
I
leave,
you
guys
with
that
clip
as
we
continue
the
rest
of
our
presentation.
I
just
want
to
just
call
attention
to
the
fact
that
recast
is
not
the
band-aid
recast
could
never
be
the
band-aid.
We
are
just
calling
attention
to
the
wound
and
we're
naming
the
wound
and
we're
looking
at
ways
to
address
the
wound,
and
so,
with
your
leadership
with
your
connections
and
your
power,
you
can
help
us
really
address
the
wound.
I'll
bring
back
joy.
Y
Y
We
didn't
spend
down
all
of
the
funds
that
we
had
and
we're
very
recently
informed
by
the
federal
government
that
we
have
those
funds
available
to
us,
and
so,
as
a
result
of
that,
we,
in
the
wake
of
sermon,
Blevins
shooting,
began
to
look
at
the
budget
and
begin
to
make
some
decisions
on
how
we
could
very
immediately
make
funds
available
to
support
the
existing
work.
So
the
work
that
does
no
one
talked
about
about
recast
Minneapolis
connect
in
the
connection
to
trauma-informed
services.
We
have
already
allocated
about
$170,000
to
that
work.
Y
Y
What
we're
sharing
today
for
the
first
time
ever,
is
our
resilience,
365
fun,
and
the
goal
of
this
fund
is
to
support
those
projects
that
increase
trauma,
weariness,
promote
resilience
and
deepen,
resident
knowledge
around
policy
and
systems
change,
and
so
it's
and
it's
an
additional
effort
to
reinforce
some
of
the
work
that
a
we
already
know
is
happening
and
an
expansion
of
these
opportunities.
So
this
is
our
opportunity
to
invest
about
three
hundred
forty
thousand
dollars
directly
into
community-based
projects
that
help
us
advance.
Y
Y
But
really
the
ultimate
idea
of
that
is
to
say
that
these
are
huge
systemic
impactful
projects.
These
are
not
smaller
things.
We're
doing
we're
really
looking
to
make
a
major
community
impact
in
this,
and
so
for
those
who
are
looking
to
find
at
least
two
projects
or
up
to
two
projects
at
about
a
hundred.
Seventy-Five
thousand
dollars
a
piece.
So
again,
the
idea
is
community
based
ingenuity
around
this
work.
A
lot
of
work.
That's
already
happening
a
lot
of
ideas
that
people
have
already
shared
with
us,
where
they
don't
have
the
resources
to
do
it.
Y
Please
do
connect
with
us
on
the
email
on
via
our
website,
like
our
facebook
page,
there's
ways
to
sign
up
both
online
on
our
website
and
on
Facebook
for
our
newsletter,
which
goes
out
every
two
weeks
and
talks
about
opportunities
like
the
ones
that
we've
mentioned,
as
well
as
other
things
that
are
happening
in
community
and
across
our
recast.
Network
I
also
offer
to
people
that
we
do
meet
with
our
advisory
team
every
other
month.
Those
meetings
are
open
to
the
public.
Y
Y
So
the
grant
started
in
2016,
September
2016
and
it's
a
five-year
grant,
and
so
whatever
that
math
is
I,
think
it's
2021
I,
don't
do
numbers
in
my
head
really
well,
but
it's
a
five-year
grant
and
I
think
it's
2021
that
it
ends
up.
Thank
you.
It's
some
nods
from
the
audience
love
it
love
the
support
from
the
from
the
village,
so
we're
wrapping
up
at
the
end
of
September
this
year,
we'll
be
ending
our
second
year
Wow.
A
K
Sorry
and
I'm
also
happy
to
move
to
receive
and
file,
but
I
also
was
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
get
the
presentation
posted
on
the
agenda
with
the
meeting.
I
think
that
would
really
be
helpful,
and
that
would
be
an
easy
way,
at
least
for
us
and
others,
to
connect
to
the
videos
and
the
audio
and
those
things
and
get
to
see.
The
whole
thing
was
a
fantastic
presentation
and
a
very
thorough
update
also
appreciated
the
materials
that
you
provided.
The
written
materials
here.
Thank.
K
Q
This
brief
comments,
just
I,
wanted
to
thank
you
all
for
the
work
and
thank
you
for
kind
of
persisting
through
in
this
presentation,
because
I
myself,
you
know,
wondered
after
what
we
experienced.
Whether
I
would
have
the
Constitution
to
sit
through
a
presentation
that
wasn't
interaction
with
the
public
and
you
all
all
I
had
to
do
is
sit
here
and-
and
you
all
had
to
have
to
present,
and
so
I
want
to.
Thank
you
all
for
having
the
resilience
to
present
entik
and
to
give
us
this
really
important.
Work.
Q
I
wanted
to
name
that
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
just
highlight
was
it
that
the
audio
clip
that
you
played
Ezreal
in
and
stuck
out
to
me
that
what
what
came
to
the
mind,
the
the
young
person
who,
when
they
were
talking
about
how
they're
processing
their
trauma
was,
was
lecrae?
Who
I
don't
listen
to
his
music,
but
I.
Q
Understand
that
he's
a
he's,
a
musician
and
and
and
and
a
poet
and
and
that
stuck
out
to
me
because
I
think
about
the
ways
in
which
we
sort
of
prioritize
this
work
and
it
ends
up
in
you
know,
or
work
of
arts
of
works
of
art
as
a
city.
They
end
up
in
sort
of
grant
funding
funded
projects
they
sort
of
end
up.
Deprioritized.
We've
got
three
to
four
artists
on
the
council
here
and
I,
just
kind
of
wanted
to
name
that
it's
really.
Q
A
P
P
A
Technically,
no
and
and
and
I
do
want
to
just
acknowledge
and
and
think
there
was
a
supposed
to
be
another
meeting
happening
in
this
in
this
setting
and
that
started
I'm
supposed
to
start
at
4:00
p.m.
so
I
want
to
apologize
the
chair
wheeler,
but
we
will
wrap
this
work
up
as
soon
as
we
we
possibly
can
I'm
sure
Marcus
that
they
know
and
appreciate
your
love
for
this.
But
you
know
why
don't
you
say
what
you
you
need
to
say.
Please.
A
AD
Northside,
ladies
Julie,
were
you
thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
for
doing
this
work
for
bringing
it
forward.
I
share
the
sentiment,
because
I
am
also
a
mental
health
practitioner,
I
own,
a
small
mental
health
practice
located
in
North,
Minneapolis,
called
hope
and
healing
counseling
services
to
do
the
work
that
you're
talking
about
so
I
do
want
to
connect
with
you.
Just
a
couple
of
things.
I
was
really
related
to
see.
There's
work
being
done
around
historical
trauma.
AD
There
are
two
sides
to
this,
so
the
community
is
being
hit
on
two
sides.
You
have
the
historical
trauma
coming
from
this
end
right,
that's
that's
all
the
things
that
have
happened
historically
with
housing,
education,
economics,
the
whole
nine,
and
then
you
have
the
current
traumas
that
are
happening
so
the
traumas
coming
from
this
end
and
it's
coming
from
this
end
and
the
domain,
one
of
the
main
symptoms
of
historical
trauma
is
internalized
oppression.
AD
Internalized
oppression
is
self-hate
which
can
be
used
to
explain
a
lot
of
different
things
that
are
happening
in
our
community
and
so
I
I
definitely
want
to
sit
with
you
guys
and
meet
and
talk
and
see
how
I
can
access
those
resources
that
you
have
and
be
of
any
assistance
to
you
as
women
of
color
fighting
this
fight.
My
services
are
available
to
you
because
you
guys
need
to
sit
down
and
process
what
you're
dealing
with
okay,
it's
serious
I
heard
council
members
saying
you.
AD
We
have
to
take
care
of
ourselves
as
we're
doing
the
work
and
you
guys
are
called
in
to
do
the
work
and,
at
the
same
time
deal
with
the
internalized
racism,
the
racism
that's
happening
in
the
workplace,
so
yeah
you're,
helping
and
you're
fighting
at
the
same
time
yeah.
So
thank
you
for
your
work.
Thank.
AD
A
Absolutely
all
those
in
favor
of
receiving
and
following
this
presentation,
please
indicate
by
saying
aye
any
opposed
that
motion
carries
and
then
before
we
do.
A
very
brief
committee
report.
I
want
to
move
that
we
adjourn
the
race
equity
sub
committee,
and
then
we
will
continue
with
the
remaining
committee
of
the
whole
business
before
us
is.
A
Do
I
need
a
motion
for
that.
That
meeting
is
the
chair
and
I
will
call
the
order.
The
committee
of
the
whole,
but
before
we
move
to
read
the
reports
of
the
committee,
the
City
Attorney's
Office,
has
requested
to
add
an
item
to
our
agenda
today,
which
is
to
authorize
the
city
attorney's
office
to
join
an
amicus
brief
in
support
of
the
city
of
rich
bill
and
law
enforcement
services
and
well,
as
our
city
attorney,
miss
Siegel.
To
briefly
speak
on
that
issue.
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Yes,
the
there
was
a
Minnesota
Court
of
Appeals
decision
that
vacated
an
arbitration
award
involving
the
city
of
Richfield,
terminated,
a
police
officer
for
engaging
in
excessive
force
and
other
misconduct.
The
arbitrator
reinstated
the
police
officer
with
full
back
pay,
reducing
it
to
a
three
day,
suspension
the
Court
of
Appeals
vacated.
That
decision
on
the
grounds
of
it
violated
public
policy,
and
we
would
like,
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
to
submit
an
amicus
brief
in
support
of
the
Court
of
Appeals
decision
and
the
city
of
Richfield.
O
Entity
is
with
an
interest
in
the
outcome
of
a
case,
can
seek
permission
from
the
court
to
to
be
heard
in
essence
and
in
this
case
to
file
a
brief
and
so
that
the
deadline
for
petitioning
the
Minnesota
Supreme
Court
to
amicus
brief
is
coming
up
prior
to
the
next
council
meeting,
and
we
feel
this
is
a
really
important
precedent
for
the
city
to
support.
As
we
are
so
painfully.
Q
O
U
A
All
right
are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments
for
me
signal.
Seeing
none
I
will
move
that
to
authorize
the
City
Attorney's
Office
to
join
an
amicus
brief
in
support
of
the
city
of
Richfield
versus
the
law
enforcement
services.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
any
opposed,
say,
nay.
That
item
carries
and
went.
