A
Hey
matthew,
this
is
cindy
lord.
Is
the
executive
committee
meeting
also
going
to
be
recorded
and
uploaded?
I
know
we
were
unsure
about
that.
B
I
haven't
received
clear,
like
notice
from
the
clerk's
office,
about
that,
so
I'm
going
to
assume
it
will
be,
but
I'll
let
you
know
if
I
keep
the
recording
going.
B
Okay,
if
you
hover
over
your
mouse
over
the
main

of

You'll
need

see

looks
like
a

This
is
the

to
activate
your

You

control
features
that
you

Commissioner,

I
pushed
the

I

You

Okay,
commissioner
robinson,
we
have
no
one
pre-registered,
but
I'm
going
to
go
through
and
call
in
the
dial-in
numbers.
So
when
I
call
the
last
four
digits
of
your
number,
please
identify
yourself
and
let
us
know
if
you
have
public
comment,
the
number
ending
in
four
one:
two
one:
that's
41.21,
can
you
unmute
yourself
and
let
us
know
if
you
have
any
comments.
L
Yes,
this
is
dave
bicking
and
yes,
I
do
have
a
comment.
The
biggest
news,
of
course,
is
that
director
velma
corbil
is
leaving
the
city,
and
I
can
hardly
tell
you
how
thrilled
I
am
that
that
is
the
case.
You
know,
I
mostly
follow
the
office
of
police
conduct
review.
The
results
of
that
has
been
dismal
under
her
leadership,
but
looking
at
the
civil
rights
complaint
investigation
department
and
the
civil
rights
commission,
I've
gone
over
some
of
this
data
in
the
past.
L
With
you
how
you
know
in
2011
her
first
full
year,
there
were
73
cases
that
were
reviewed
panels
by
2017.
It
had
reduced
to
two
and
she
gave
no
answer
as
to
why
that
was
also
that
the
during
that
period
of
time
the
civil
rights
commission
upheld
the
director's
decision
and
all
161
cases.
According
to
the
data
we
got,
there's
only
been
one
contested
case
hearing
during
her
tenure.
L
There's
of
importance
to
myself
and
communities
united
against
police
brutality.
There's
been
a
significant
drop
off
in
complete
police
complaints.
There
were
close
to
30
per
year
before
she
started.
It
was
about
15
of
your
cases.
Now
it's
down
to
about
one
per
year,
so
there
is
a
lot
to
do
to
rebuild
the
civil
rights
department
after
her
leaving.
L
I
also
want
to
note
that,
looking
at
the
data
portal,
just
now,
I
see
there
has
been
very
little
activity
in
2020
in
the
number
of
cases
and
number
of
cases
closed.
I've
suggested
many
times
that
there
should
be
a
survey
of
complainants
and
respondents
to
see
their
reaction
to
how
cases
are
behind
being
handled.
I
think
this
would
be
an
excellent
time
to
do
this
in
order
to
determine
how
to
rebuild
the
civil
rights
department
and,
finally,
guess
what
the
islamophobia
resolution
still
is,
not
posted.
L
B
Okay
and
the
number
ending
in
35
69,
can
you
unmute
yourself
identify
yourself
and
let
us
know
if
you
have
any
public
comments.
B
Okay,
thank
you,
and
there
is
another
dial-in
number
labeled
anonymous.
I
don't
know
if
you
have
public
comment,
you
can
meet
yourself
and
let
us
know.
B
Okay,
thank
you,
so
I
think
that'll
be
all
for
public
comment
back
to
you,
commissioner.
Robbins.
C
C
H
H
M
H
Am
currently
going
to
my
sixth
term
in
the
legislature
and
I'm
happy
to
be
here,
and
so
you
know
I
really
want
to
hear
more
about
what
it
is.
You
guys
do,
because
I
don't
know
much
about
what
it
is
that
you
do
too,
but
I
think
you
want
to
do
you
want
me
to
just
talk
about
the
police
accountability
bill
or
is
there
any
specific
questions
you
might
have
or.
C
We'd,
like
you
to
share
kind
of
the
work
that
you've
done
and
and
the
pieces
of
the
accountability
act
that
passed
and
then
some
of
you
know
some
of
the
things
that
you
probably
would
have
liked
to
have
seen
and
then
what
is
the
work?
That's
remaining
and
so
to
quickly
answer
your
question
about
what
the
commission
is
doing.
You
know
immediately
following
mr
floyd's
murder:
by
mpd
we
set
about
creating
a
policing
and
civil
rights
task
force.
C
We've
met
with
chief
rondo
here
minneapolis
and
some
of
our
city
council
representatives,
but
we're
seeing
that
there's
a
you
know
somewhat
of
a
disconnect
in
how
policies
are
made,
and
we
know
that
some
of
them
are
made
at
the
state
level
that
govern
all
of
us
in
our
different
districts
and
wards
and
whatnot.
So
we're
interested
to
hear
how
your
work,
the
impact
that
it
could
have
on
a
municipal
level.
What
are
some
of
the
wins
from
the
last
session
around
your
work
with
the
police
accountability
act
and
then,
where
is
there
more
work?
H
H
We
are
the
only
legislature
in
the
country
to
have
a
divided
legislature,
the
only
one,
and
so
what
that
means
is
that,
in
order
to
pass
a
bill,
you
have
to
have
bills
heard
in
the
house
and
in
the
senate,
and
you
have
to
agree
before
those
bills
can
ever
pass
off
the
house
floor
and
be
signed
by
the
governor
to
become
law.
H
So
that's
the
process,
and
so
after
the
death,
after
the
murder
of
george
floyd
at
the
hands
of
a
police
officer
and
the
outcry
that
we
saw
from
minnesotans
across
the
states,
but
also
the
outcry
that
we've
seen
across
this
country
and
across
and
across
the
world.
H
It
was
clear
to
us
in
the
minnesota
legislature
in
the
house
anyway,
that
it
was
important
that
we
begin
to
move
some
legislation
around
the
use
of
force
in
in
other
things,
and
so
what
we
realize,
as
the
people
call
indigenous
caucus,
which
we
led
the
effort
and
we
carried
the
bills
that
were
included
in
the
minnesota
police
accountability
act
of
2020
is
that
there
were
many
many
policies
that
needed
to
be
introduced
and
passed
right.
You
can
look
across
the
country
and
you
can
see
some
states
who
have
moved.
H
H
H
It
was
to
prohibit
the
warrior:
training
ban,
chokeholds,
a
duty
to
intercede
police,
residency
reform,
a
data
collection
and
regulatory
reform,
arbitration
reform
and
a
retroactive
repeal
of
statutes
of
limitations
for
the
families
who
love
them
to
been
murdered
at
better
hand
of
abusive
force.
H
The
second
category
was
reforming
accountability
and
what
that
meant
was
restoring
confidence
and
trust
in
the
systems
that
are
meant
to
prov,
to
provide
justice
for
all
minnesotans
and
under
that
was
the
use
of
force
bill.
The
prosecutory
reform
bill,
the
investigatory
reform
and
cash
bail
was
under
reforming
accountability
and
then
the
third
category
we
call
reimagining
public
safety.
H
We
have
to
reimagine
what
that
looks
like
and
that
would
be
ending
the
unacceptable
culture
that
is
responsible
for
the
murder
of
george
floyd
and
far
too
many
others
who
look
like
him
and
under
that
there
was.
Sixth
provision
was
a
public
safety,
peer,
counseling
debriefing,
a
police
officer,
critical
incident,
review,
community-led,
public
safety,
mental
health
training,
autism
training
and
restore
the
votes.
H
So
those
were
the
breadth
of
the
bills
that
we
introduced
on
the
house
side
on
the
senate
side.
They
also
introduced
bill.
I
think
they
introduced
five
bills,
sort
of
kind
of,
and
so
what
happened
was
that
we
took
a
a
saturday
and
all
day.
I
think
we
started
like
nine
ten
o'clock
in
the
morning.
I
don't
know
we
went
to
like
all
the
way
into
the
evening
and
we
introduced
every
bill.
H
We
openly
discussed
every
bill
in
the
minnesota
house.
We
had
testifies
on
all
the
bills
and
there
were
individual
legislators
of
color
who
were
carrying
each
part
of
the
bill.
The
two
bills
that
I
carried
with
three
bills
were
the
choco
ban.
The
use
of
force
bill
and
restore
the
vote
was
the
three
bills
that
I
carry
and
so
what
we
had
to
do
were
we.
H
We
passed
those
bills,
all
18
provisions
off
the
house
floor,
and
then
we
sent
those
18
bills
over
to
the
senate
for
them
to
also
look
at
and
debate
and
decide
how
they
wanted
to
move
forward
on
police
accountability.
H
It
was
late
in
the
session.
I
think
this
was
like,
I
think,
maybe
two
or
three
days
before
we
were
committed
to
in
session
constitutionally.
We
have
a
end
date
that
we
have
to
end
on
that
date,
and
so
we
introduced
these
bills.
I
think
it's
the
weekend
of
the
final
hours
of
session
been
held
and
we
waited
to
for
the
republicans
to
respond
and
it
took
a
little
while
for
them
to
happen
and
eventually
we
signed,
he
died
without
any
a
negotiation
happening
at
all.
Well,
yeah,
pretty
much.
H
We
did
some
counter
offers,
they
never
came
back
to
the
table
and
then
we
signed
he
died,
and
so,
during
a
special
session,
we
came
back
together
to
begin
to
work
on
the
18
bills,
and
you
know
with
the
republicans
to
talk
about
the
five
deals
that
they
wanted
to
pass,
and
many
of
the
republican
bills
were
just
passing
it
on
to
to
the
post
board
and
let
the
post
board
deal
with
it,
and
that
was
something
that
we
did
not
want
to
do,
because
the
post
for
has
over
the
last
40
years,
have
had
an
inherent
power
that
they
have
not
been
using
and
keeping
holding
police
accountable.
H
H
Those
bills
that
became
law
was
prohibiting
the
warrior
training
the
choco
band,
the
duty
to
intercede,
which
means
you
know.
War
training
was
a
training
that
police
officer,
it
was
really
was
banned,
but
the
police
unit
was
using
them
anyway,
and
it
was
a
training
that
allows
police
officers
to
encounter
community
members
and
see
community
members
as
the
enemy,
which
means
that
the
concept
that
they
brought
to
their
encounters
was
let's
kill
before
we
are
killed
right.
H
So
that's
what
you
will
see
in
all
that
excessive
use
of
force
I've
been
in
meanies
like
this
all
day.
The
choco
band
is
just
what
it
is,
anything
that
blocks
the
airway
and
it
causes
someone
to
become
unconscious
should
be
banned
totally
the
duty
to
intercede.
H
If
the
officer
is
seeing
something
happening,
they
have
a
duty
to
stop
and
intercedes
right
police
residency
reform.
H
We
really
believe
that
police
officers
should
live,
have
to
live
or
be
a
part
of
the
community
in
which
they
are
policing,
and
I'm
gonna
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
even
more
because
we
know
that's
important,
because
when
I
talk
to
my
republican
colleagues
and
for
those
legislators
who
are
in
the
experts,
some
suburbs,
but
the
rural
community,
the
one
thing
that
they
say
to
me
all
the
time
is
that
you
know
and-
and
you
know
who
they
they
love
their
posi
police
officers
right
and
love
them,
because
they're
part
of
the
community
they
went
to
school
together,
their
kids
go
to
school.
H
H
We
want
to
do
some
data
collection
and
some
regulatory
reform
that
pass
arbitration,
because,
right
now,
when
police
are,
they
are
using
excessive
force
and
they
are
called
on
that.
You
know
often
they
instead
of
been
fired.
They
would
just
say
you
know,
I'm
gonna,
I'm
going.
What's
the
word
I'm
going
to
step
down
and
you
know
so
they
just
do
that
so
that
there
will
be
no
regular,
they
won't
be
recommended
for
that,
and
then
the
union
will
come
in
and
save
them.
H
So
we
wanted
to
change
that
process
because
we
believe-
and
I
think
my
republican
colleagues
also
agree-
that
police
officers
are
given
an
inherent
privilege
and
right
to
serve
and
protect
and
carry
a
gun,
and
so
for
unions.
It's
not
like
you
know
you
want
to
you,
have
a
good
livable
wage
job
and
have
good
insurance.
It's
it's.
H
It's
a
little
bit
more
of
a
responsibility
for
police
officers,
the
use
of
force
became
law
and
the
investigatory
reform
became
law,
public
safety
peer
counseling,
because
we
know
that
police
officers
are
being
you
know
they
go
through
some
really
hard
time.
They
are
seeing
people
die,
they
are
participating
in
that
and
if
they
are
being
traumatized
by
that
themselves,
then
they
should
have
a
chance
to
sit
back
and
get
some
help
and
be
get
some
counseling
for
that.
Otherwise
it
shows
up
in
other
ways
like
in
our
community.
H
We
wanted
them
to
have
some
training
around
mental
health,
because
50
of
the
use
of
force
is
happening
when
someone
is
going
through
a
mental
health
crisis.
So
they
need
to
be
able
to
know
that
look
and
maybe
not
even
show
up
for
that.
Autism
training
autism
is
not
mental
health,
it's
a
whole
different
type
of
training,
and
so
those
were
the
bills
that
became
law
that
passed.
H
The
the
biggest
hurdle
of
getting
the
bills
passed
was
the
use
of
force
bill,
and
that
was
one
of
the
biggest
tension
between
maybe
myself
negotiating
with
the
minnesota
association
of
police
chief,
the
minnesota
associations
of
sheriffs
and
the
minnesota
association
of
police
and
peace
officers,
and
so
it
was
really
the
minnesota
association
of
police
and
peace
officers
who
were
really
against
changing
the
language.
That's
currently
in
statute
around
the
use
of
force,
currently
the
language.
H
E
H
Because
a
parent
threat
is
so
subjective,
that's
right,
the
police
officer
can
say.
Oh
I
ate
I,
I
was
scared
or
I
thought
someone
had
a
gun
or
I
feared
for
my
life.
You
know
so
just
using
that
subjective
type
of
language
was
not
okay,
and
so
we
wanted
to
just
remove
that
language
and
then
insert
the
word
imminent
threat,
and
that
was
the
biggest
contention,
because
police
officers
thought
oh
what
you
know
you
would
use
use
of
force.
What
would
a
reasonable
person
do
right?
H
It
is
not
best
because
you
feel
like
something
is
going
to
happen.
It
has
to
like
actually
be
a
a
threat
right,
and
so
after
what's
going
back
and
debating
back
and
forth-
and
you
know
for
me-
I
didn't
want
to
keep
that
word
that
that
one
word
apparent
the
two
words
apparent
threats.
H
My
senators
and
officers
did
not
want
to
use
the
word
imminent.
They
didn't
want
to
replace
the
word
imminent,
with
a
parent.
So
after
much
back
and
forth,
but
back
and
forth,
they
didn't
understand
what
imminent
threat
meant.
So
we
had
to
define
it.
We
found
some
definitions
from
the
fbi
that
was
used.
They
had
defined
what
an
imminent
threat
was
police
officers
out
of
chicago
had
a
definition
pretty
much
the
same
definition
around
imminent
threat.
So
we
found
that
language.
H
We
introduced
it
to
the
police
officers
and
my
senate
colleagues
and
we
were
stuck
there.
We
were
stuck
because
again,
they
just
didn't
like
that
imminent
threat
and
what
it
represented,
but
they
could
agree
with
the
definition
of
imminent
threat.
There
were
three
definitions
for
imminent
threat:
they
agreed
with
the
definitions,
but
they
did
not
want
to
insert
the
word
imminent
threats
into
statute,
and
so
eventually,
in
the
final
hours
of
going
back
and
forth,
we
realized
that
I
didn't
like
a
parent,
they
didn't
like
eminence.
H
I
was
able
to
get
the
executive
director
of
the
police
officers
to
agree
with
the
language
around
the
use
of
force
and
so
of
all
the
things
I
think
just
having
that
language
change
around
the
use
of
force
will
save
people's
lives
and
many
of
these
other
provisions.
You
know
we
believe
that
it
would
make
a
difference
in
how
police
show
up
and
whether
or
not
someone,
whether
it's
the
police
officer,
who
gets
to
go
home
and
live
another
day
or
the
person
they
encounter.
H
Who
would
be
able
to
you
know,
live
another
day.
Go
to
lock
up.
You
know,
be
handcuffed
and
put
in
the
squad
all
the
things
they
need
to
do,
but
they
would
get
to
live
another
day.
So
we
did
all
this
work,
especially
around
the
use
of
forcing
the
chocolates,
through
the
lens
of
the
sanctity
of
life
in
human
rights,
validating
that
the
sanctity
of
every
human
life
is
important,
and
that
is
how
they
will
operate
through
those
lands
and
that's
where
we
were
so
wow.
H
H
You
know
we
realize
that,
even
with
all
this
work
that
we
did,
that
is
not
enough
that
you
know
we
can
do
more,
that
it's
important,
that
we
continue
to
hold
police
accountable
when
they
break
the
law
when
they
use
excessive
force,
because
we
also
know
that
not
every
cop
is
a
bad
cop
right.
We
do
know,
though,
when
a
bad
cop,
when
a
bad
cop
shows
bad
behavior,
they
make
good
cops,
look
bad.
H
You
know
show
show
up
that
way
and
use
the
sense
of
force
that
when
it's
done
inappropriately,
they
have
to
be
held
accountable,
and
so
we
still
got
more
work
to
do
right.
So
we're
working
with
the
post
board
to
make
sure
that
the
post
war
is
using
the
the
the
power
that
they
have.
We
created
a
steering.
I
think
we
called
it
a
community,
a
steering
committee
that
is
outside
of
the
post
board
and
for
us
it
was
really
important
that
we
add
more
community
members
to
the
post
board.
H
We
wanted
to
add.
I
think
we
wanted
to
add,
like
five
more
community
members
to
the
post
board,
that
didn't
happen,
police
officers-
I
mean
they
pushed
back
and
they
pushed
back.
I
think-
and
I
can't
quite
remember
whether
that
was
able
to
add
one
or
two
more
additional
community
members
to
the
post
board.
But
we
also
created
a
steering
committee
and
the
steering
committee
was
what
was.
H
And
so
is
that
I
I
think
that,
having
that
steering
committee,
who
also
are
able
to
bring
to
add
items
to
the
post-war
agenda
is
also
going
to
be
really
helpful
to
bring
in
that
community
voice
that
community
insights
into
the
post
board.
Where
we
don't
have.
You
know
overwriting
number
of
community
members
as
part
of
that
post
board.
H
H
We
will
do
that.
There's
still
some
work
that
we
need
to
do.
We.
We
still
think
that
we
need
to
work
around
things
like
cash
bails,
there's
no
reason
for
someone
to
be
sitting
in
jail
because
they
don't
have
a
hundred
fifty
dollars
or
hundred
dollars
to
get
out
of
jail.
They
lose
their
job.
You
know,
sometimes
they
lose
in
their
housing.
H
It
is
no
reason
why,
for
some
of
those
charges
that
there
should
be
no
cash
bill
at
all
right,
so
we're
going
to
do
something
like
round
that
we're
looking
at
to
restore
the
vote.
There's
no
reason
why,
if
you
serve
your
time,
you
back
out
in
the
community
that
immediately,
you
should
not
have
the
right
to
vote
that
just
it
makes
sense,
and
we
want
to
look
at
more
of
utilizing
some
community-led
public
safety
initiatives,
because
police
officers
really
don't
need
to
show
up
for
every
instance
for
every
call.
H
They
really
don't
you
know
so
having
those
partnerships
with
community
and
law
enforcement.
I
think
is
also
a
necessary
avenue
that
we
really
need
to
be
able
to
incorporate
in
really
strengthening
communities,
strengthening
relationships,
but
also
recognizing
that
police
officers
don't
need
to
be
a
part
of
every
call
that
comes
to
the
room.
C
Wonderful,
thank
you
so
much
before
we
open
up
for
questions.
We
also
know
that
we
had
one
of
our
commissioners
reach
out
to
you
regarding
the
crown
act.
Are
you
able
to
speak
to
that
just
briefly
about
the
status
of
that.
H
So,
like
most
things,
so
the
crown
act
passed
off
the
house
floor
right
and
so
the
crown
act
inserted
and
made.
Let
me
let
me
get
this
right,
so
it
allows
natural
hair
like
twists
twist
braids
and
there's
one
other.
That's
what
is
it
dreadlocks
and
draft
likes
right?
Okay,
guys,
I
wish
I
had
wrote
down
the
the
proper
language
for
that.
H
I
I
may
have
it,
but
I
have
to
go
over
and
look
at
my
folder
and
get
it
so,
but
it
allows
so
that
natural
hair,
twists
and
dreadlocks
would
not
be
cannot
be
discriminated
against
right,
because
what
we
found
was
that
people
who
are
wearing
their
natural
hair-
I
mean
we
had
a
huge
amount
of
testimonies
from
people
who
come
in.
Who
came
in
and
said
that
you
know
I
I
was
told
in
order
to
get
this
job
I
needed
to
cut
my
dreadlocks
all
right.
H
H
That
would
be
now
be
unlawful
and
you
will
have
to
intercede
and
do
something
or
someone
cannot
say
well
in
order
to
get
this
job,
you
need
to
straighten
your
hair
or
you
need
to
cut
your
hair,
or
you
know
we
just
have
to
respect
the
dignity
of
the
natural
hair,
and
so
that
would
be
your
protected
class
here.
Natural
hair
would
be
a
protected
class
wow,
that's
great,
so
it
did
pass
off
the
house
floor.
C
H
So
that
means
that
again,
in
order
for
a
bill
to
become
law,
it
has
to
pass
off
the
floor
in
the
house
and
it
has
to
pass
off
the
floor
in
the
senate
in
order
to
go
before
the
governor
to
be
signed
into
law.
So
anything
that
did
not
pass
this
session,
including
the
crown
bill,
is
now
dead
and
it
has
to
be
reintroduced
in
2021,
okay,.
C
Thank
you
for
that.
I'm
good.
I
know
commissioner
schumache
has
been
leading
that,
but
one
I'm
gonna
kind
of
pull
rank
here
a
bit
and
ask
a
question:
did
the
arbitration
bill
did
not
pass?
Is
that
correct.
H
C
That's
good
to
know:
okay
I'll,
since
we
just
finished
talking
about
crown
act.
Commissioner
schumache,
do
you
have
any
questions
for
representative
moran.
G
G
You
know
our
our
small
body,
but
you
know
if
there
are
things
that
we
can
do,
we
would.
We
have
talked
about
having
a
community
conversation
which
I
think
would
still
be
relevant
and
and
maybe
increase
some
awareness
for
that
upcoming
bill.
Yeah.
H
So,
yes,
I
don't
know
how
this
is
a
minneapolis
group,
a
commission
right,
and
so
we
need
a
statewide
coalition
right.
We
we
need
legislators
in
the
senate
needs
to
be
educated
on
this
because
they
were
keenly
unaware
of
any
discrimination
that
happens
with
not
your
head
right.
So,
if
you're
not
being
discriminated
against,
you
think
discrimination
is
never
happening,
and
so
part
of
this
is
the
educational
piece.
A
partisan
is
bringing
it's.
H
You
know,
I
believe,
in
the
power
of
the
people,
the
power
of
community,
to
stand
up
and
and
and
and
create
a
process
where
you
are
forcing
us
to
do
the
right
thing,
because
injustice
just
are
happening
and
they
are
real
and
so
for
youth.
For
folks
who
have
friends
out
in
in
rochester
or
saint
claude
saint
cloud,
we
have
allies
out
there.
You
know
we
need
to
get
constituents
in
to
talk
to
their
legislators
about
a
bill
like
up
the
crown
bill.
H
I
you
know
you
can
inundate
and
make
some
phone
calls
and
send
an
email
to
representative
lemmer.
Now
I
don't
know
what
committee
he's
going
to
have
next
session,
but
all
the
bills
that
I
introduced
around
racial
equity
went
to
the
senate
to
die.
H
They
got
no
hearing,
they
all
just
died,
and
so
it's
going
to
really
take
that
type
of
will
had
it
not
been
for
the
protesting
in
the
marching,
not
on
here
in
minnesota
now
over,
not
only
here
in
within
our
country
but
across
the
world.
I
don't
think
that
the
republicans
would
have
ever
come
to
the
table
as
that
been
a
priority
for
them,
because
it
was
not
a
priority
for
them.
H
It
just
simply
was
not
you
know,
and
so,
let's
just
start
with
educating
legislators
about
the
issues
that
are
impacting
our
community
disproportionately
in
the
crown
act.
You
know,
sharing
your
story.
Stories
are
powerful.
H
You
know
we
sometimes
want
to
give
them
some
statistics,
and
some
you
know,
find
some
empathy,
but
often
sometimes
that
stuff
just
doesn't
work
because
it
just
doesn't
work
for
them
right,
but
stories.
No
one
can
never
negate
your
story.
In
your
experience,
what
you
have
experienced
and
so
stories
are
powerful-
that
we
just
need
to
utilize.
More
often
to
help
people
see
beyond
what
they
know
or
don't
know.
A
Hi,
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here.
I've
learned
so
much
from
you.
I
I'm
wondering
if
you
can
provide
any
insight
into
the
requirements
for
implementation
of
the
bills
that
were
passed
into
law.
Is
there
a
time
frame
by
which
time
the
various
initiatives
have
to
be
implemented?.
H
Yeah,
I
think
so
one
of
the
things,
because
we
inherently
change
the
whole
use
of
force
concept
right,
and
so
we
want
every
police
officer
across
the
state
of
minnesota
to
be
trained
in
the
new
language
about
when
and
when
you
cannot
use
the
use
of
force
right
or
once
again
retrain
them
around
a
chokehold,
a
ban
and
what
is
is
not
permitted
at
all,
and
so,
according
to
the
conversations
that
we
had
with
like
the
commissioner
of
public
safety,
commissioner
john
harrington
and
other
professionals
who
was
at
the
table
around
how
long
they
thought
it
would
take
for
them
everyone
to
be
trained.
H
So
for
the
training
portion
of
this
pieces
it
will
work.
That
means
that
training
needs
to
be
done
for
every
police
officer,
I
believe
by
march
of
2021
right.
So
things
like
taking
some
of
these
bills
and
the
duty
to
intercede
probably
is
immediately.
H
H
Let's
see
probably
things
like
the
police
residency
reform.
I
think
that's
something
that
cities
can
now
begin
to,
which
is
just
giving
individuals
an
incentive
to
you
know
to
to
live
in
the
municipality
in
which
they
work.
We
could
not
pass
a
bill
that
required
police
officers
to
live
in
the
municipality
that
they
worked,
even
though
we
think
that's
a
good
thought
right.
H
H
You
know,
maybe
a
moving
stipend
if
you
move
we're
gonna
cover
that
you
know
so
it's
up
to
them,
but
now
they
have,
although
some
thought
that
maybe
they
could
do
it
now
that
the
language
and
the
statute,
they
know
that
they
can
that
local
municipalities
can
do
it
now.
H
N
I
have
a
question:
I'm
sorry.
This
is
vice
chair
definition.
Thank
you,
representative
moran,
for
all
your
hard
work
and
dedication
in
the
community.
I
currently
work
at
ramsey,
county
and
child
protection.
So
I
have
read
your
african
american
preservation
act,
it's
one
of
my
bibles
when
working
with
cps-
and
I,
if
I
have
if
I
encounter
a
community
member
who's
having
issues,
I
always
encourage
them
to.
Please
read
the
preservation
act
and
to
please
contact
you.
E
N
H
So
what
I
would
like
to
do-
and
some
of
those
provisions
within
the
african-american
family
preservation
act,
became
law
like
creating
a
pathway
for
kids
lingering
in
in
foster
homes,
to
give
those
parents
a
pathway
to
go
back
and
get
their
parent
advice
re-established.
That
is
important.
Right.
Kids
should
not
be
aging
out
of
a
system;
it
just
should
not
happen.
We
wanted
social
workers
and
others
to
be
trained
through
a
racial
to
a
cultural,
competent
type
of
lens.
H
There
was
one
provisions
right
now
that
I
can't
remember
the
other
provision
within
the
african-american
family
preservation
act
that
also
it
was
three
provisions
that
was
included
in
that,
and
so
we
want
to
continue
to
do
that.
I
am
a
strong
parent
advocate
and
I
think
you
know
kids.
I
think
families
have
hard
times,
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
want,
invest
more
in
supporting
parents
and
giving
parents
some
of
the
tools
they
need.
H
Well,
you
know
there
could
be
many
reasons.
Why
that's
the
case?
You
know
what
we
need
to
do
more,
so
you
know
support
of
families
as
long
as
not
we're
not
talking
about
egregious
cases
right
neglect.
There
are
some
other
things
that
we
can
do
we
you
know
I
was
able
to
pass
a
bill
to
give
support
to
a
community
non-profit
that
is
helping
parents
walk
through
the
system
right.
H
These
are
parents
them
to
have
who've,
also
gone
through
the
system
who
can
walk
side
by
side
to
with
another
parent
whose
children
have
been
removed
because
we
have
a
complicated
system.
We
have
an
inner
data
system.
That's
you
know
who
can
do
that
all
by
themselves,
so
we
want
to
continue
to
help
processes
like
that
that
helps
parents
who
are
in
need
who
have
have
their
kids
removed
to
also
have
a
support
system
for
them
to
navigate
the
the
child
welfare
system.
H
I
also
passed
a
comfort
call
bill
where,
within
the
first
72
hours
of
a
child
being
removed
from
their
home,
the
this
is
new
and
it's
scary
for
many
foster.
Parents
really,
but
it
just
makes
sense,
we're
talking
about
well-being
of
kids
that
the
foster
parent
and
the
birth
parent,
if
at
all
possible,
within
the
first
73
72
hours,
they're
on
the
phone
talking
to
each
other
and
they're
asking
each
other.
You
know:
did
this
child
have
a
favorite
blankie
at
home
or
a
favorite
toy?
You
know
what
do
they
do?
H
They
have
an
allergy
that
I
need
to
know
about
and
they're
asking
the
parent
that,
and
so
it's
beginning
to
build
a
relationship
between
a
foster
parent
and
a
birth
parent,
because
foster
parents
should
not
be
in
the
business
of
of
being
a
false
apparent
just
to
adopt
one
day.
It
should
be
for
reunification,
that's
right
so
right,
so
those
first
72
hours
is
really
critical,
because
the
child
is,
you
know
they
they
they're
in
home
with
strangers.
They
don't
know
these
people,
I
don't
care
how
nice
they
are.
H
They
don't
know
him,
and
so,
and
then
parents
are
you
know.
Often
you
know,
kids
are
removed
from
the
home.
They
have
no
idea
where
they
are.
If
they
can
just
have
an
opportunity
to
find
out
where
their
kids
are
share,
some
good
information
about
their
child.
They
can
focus
on
what
they
need
to
do
with
the
hope
that
these
child,
if
they
do
what
they
need
to
do,
that
reunification,
will
happen
because
right
now,
there's
a
lot
of
tension.
H
That
happens
because,
of
course,
fans
believe
that
the
system
is
just
there
to
take
their
kids
away
from
them,
and
often
it
does
just
that.
So
we
want
to
keep
on
working
on.
You
know
a
system
that
is
more
proactive,
more
community
focused
more,
you
know,
led
by
through
a
front-end
process
and
and
not
a
process
that
is
really
just
consistently
demonizing
parents
and
I'm
not
saying
that
parents
don't
do
bad
things
and
should
not
be
held
accountable
for
that.
H
C
C
I
know
that
you
have
been
very
busy
working
in
all
of
our
interests,
and
so
we
appreciate
you
taking
the
time
out
to
come
and
share
some
of
that
work
with
us,
and
I
would
definitely
be
reaching
out
to
you
to
learn
more
about
how
I
can
support
your
efforts
but
you've,
given
us
a
lot
to
consider
as
we
prepare
our
own
report
around
our
work
with
policing
and
civil
rights.
So
thank
you
so
much.
H
H
What
we
think
is
right,
and
so
in
saying
that
what
I
would
love
for
any
and
all
of
the
commissioners
and
for
your
listening
audience
is
that
I
believe
that
those
who
are
impacted
by
system
have
good
solutions
about
what
we
need
to
do
to
make
them
better.
Please
going
into
a
2021
session
in
an
era
where
we're
going
to
have
a
huge
deficit
deficit
at
the
capitol.
We
know
it's
the
things
that
we
care
about,
that's
usually
on
the
chopping
block.
First,
we
declared
racism
as
a
public
health
crisis.
H
I'm
co-chairing
that
committee,
along
with
representative
ruth
richardson,
we're
going
to
bring
some
recommendations
forward.
I
need
your
help.
That's
how
bills
are
created.
These
are
created
by
people
who
have
good
ideas
and
they
come
and
say
we
need
to
change
the
law.
Bring
me
your
good
ideas
and,
let's
see
how
we
can
work
together,
to
create
a
more
fair
and
equitable
system
here
in
the
state
of
minnesota.
C
That
was
impactful,
but
to
keep
this
train
rolling,
we're
going
to
go
right
into
our
standing
committee
reports
and
we'll
start
off
with
our
standards
and
procedures
committee.
Please.
M
Good
evening
this
is
cassie
shepard
and
we
unfortunately
did
not
meet
this.
Last
month.
We
had
scheduled
our
meeting,
but
right
before
the
meeting
it
had
to
be
canceled
because
it
was
scheduled
on
veterans
day,
which
I
was
unaware.
We
were
unable
to
meet
on
a
federal
holiday,
so
we
have
rescheduled
our
meeting
for
november
23rd
at
5
30
via
zoom,
and
we
welcome
anybody
that
has
input
on
our
conflict
resolution
policy
to
participate
in
that
meeting.
C
I
Hey
this
is
jeff,
I
don't
know
if
laylee's
on,
but
I
had
another
meeting
with
frank
and
kayla
which
went
really
really
well.
We
had
some
good
discussion
about
how
we
can
turn
our
ideas
and
and-
and
I
don't
know
our
goals
into
more
concrete
steps,
and
I
had
planned
to
have
a
discussion
with
the
subcommittee
about
that
after,
but
unfortunately
we
again
did
not
meet,
so
we
did
not
get
a
chance
to
discuss
that.
A
Hi
this
is,
commissioner,
lord.
I
do
not
want
to
steal
the
thunder
from
commissioner
bergquist,
who
I
believe
will
be
talking
at
some
length
about
the
debrief
on
the
un's
universal
periodic
review
event,
but
our
committee
specifically
commissioner
stevens
commissioner
herkman
and
commissioner
mockery
supported
that
event,
both
with
technology
facilitation
skills
and
questioning
skills,
as
well
as
work
and
actually
participating
in
that
initiative,
and
we
held
the
events.
Gosh
was
it
last
last
thursday,
I
guess
it
seemed
thank
you
on
the
12th.
A
A
I
I
would
like
to
just
call
out
commissioner
bergquist,
because
I'm
sure
she
won't
say
this
about
herself
was
absolutely
amazing
in
her
mastery
of
the
information,
and
this
also
intersected
with
our
police
work.
Our
police
task
force
work
as
many
of
the
the
topics
and
the
feedback
that
she
highlighted
in
the
conversation
were
related
to
policing
and
racial
equity.
So
I
think
we
learned
a
lot
in
terms
of
kind
of
the
global
perspective
on
this
topic
in
our
community,
some
other
things
that
are
going
on
with
the
committee.
A
I
know
that
commissioner
simones
was
collecting
pictures
for
the
bios
as
well,
and
commissioner
devenish
also
provided
900
mass
to
the
circle
of
discipline.
A
I
think
she
has
500
mass
remaining
and
we
are
going
to
be
meeting
next
tuesday
with
the
idea
of
kind
of,
I
think,
having
a
final
conversation
about
what
we
still
want
to
accomplish
this
week
and
not
this
week
this
year
and
kind
of
package
up
kind
of
a
a
final
deliverable
for
the
year.
A
I
I
do
also
just
want
to
call
out
that-
and
I
don't
think
libby's
on
the
in
the
meeting
today,
but
I
think
this
will
be
one
of
commissioner
simonez's
last
meetings
and
I
I
just
really
wanted
to
call
her
out
and
thank
her
for
her
leadership
on
this
committee,
which
will
you
know
not
be
which
will
miss
her
greatly
she's
been
a
tremendous
leader
on
the
committee
and
and
the
heart
of
it,
and
we
will
miss
her
very
much
so
hopefully
she'll
be
back
next
month,
so
we
can
re-say
that
does
anyone
else
on
the
cenr
committee
want
to
add
anything
or
or
is
there
anything?
D
I
had
some
good
feedback
via
email
and
from
people
in
the
community
who
watched
the
task
force
or
saw
later.
So
I
think
it
was
something
that
was
informative
and
people
who
maybe
didn't
know
about
it,
but
were
able
to
hear
more
thought
that
amy
and
paul
and
miriam
did
a
really
good
job.
C
Sounds
good,
I
thought
everyone
sounded
and
looked
great
and
I
thought
it
really
made
our
commission
look
really
good.
It
was
nice
to
see
us
presenting
on
things
happening
around
the
world,
and
so
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone
for
their
role
in
pulling
that
together,
I
thought
it.
It
came
off
really
well.
So,
thanks
to
all
the
commissioners
involved
with
that,
okay,
any
other
comments,
commissioner,
lord.
A
No
thank
you.
Okay,.
C
Thank
you
so
that
kind
of
touches
on
some
of
the
policing
and
civil
rights
work,
and
so
you
know
we'll
be
pulling
together
our
reports
on
that,
hopefully
soon
and
so
now,
we'll
turn
it
over
to
commissioner
bergquist
and
other
members
of
her
work
for
her
task
force
to
share
an
update.
The
un
task
force.
C
K
Sure
hi,
thank
you
to
commissioner
lord.
For
her
kind
words,
the
the
basic
update
is
that
the
universal
periodic
review
of
the
united
states
happened.
One
week
ago
today
and
the
116
countries
made
spoke
on
the
floor
of
the
human
rights
council.
Each
country
had
55
seconds
and
47
of
those
countries
decided
to
use
some
of
those
55
seconds
that
they
were
allotted
to
speak
about
police
violence
and
accountability
and
structural
racism
within
the
within
policing.
K
So
that
was
a
great
deal
of
attention
to
the
issue.
Specifically.
K
Argentina
mentioned
the
name
of
george
floyd,
calling
on
the
united
states
to
adopt
legal
and
administrative
measures
to
carry
out
the
investigation
and
punishment
of
cases
of
discriminatory
police
practices,
including
measures
to
stop
murders
such
as
that
of
george
floyd,
so
that
was
really
meaningful.
It's
pretty
unusual
that
at
the
floor
of
the
human
rights
council
a
particular
individual
is
named,
so
that
was
really
powerful
to
me.
K
So,
as
you've
heard,
we
did
the
debriefing
on
thursday.
I
think
it
went
just
fine
if
you,
I
think
it's
still
posted
on
our
facebook
page.
So
if
you
want
to
hear
more
about
what
happened,
you
can
watch
that
or
I'm
happy
to
ask
answer
questions
in
terms
of
next
steps
with
respect
to
united
nations
activities.
One
thing
we
could
think
about
is
whether
we
want
to
identify
particular
recommendations
that
we
want
to
encourage
the
incoming
administration
to
accept,
and
they
will
have,
until
march
of
2021
to
make
that
decision.
K
So
it
could
be
something
as
simple
as
a
letter
on
behalf
of
the
commission
to
the
incoming
administration,
highlighting
particular
recommendations
that
we
think
are
meaningful.
That
would
be
a
sort
of
natural
follow-up
to
the
work
that
we've
already
done,
and
there,
of
course,
will
be
additional
opportunities
to
engage
with
the
united
nations
in
2021,
but
that's
probably
the
most.
K
K
K
C
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
don't
know
if
we
can
have
time
to
discuss
it.
Dr
raj
update
is
that
possible
to
discuss
that
or
we.
C
Can
frank
business?
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
just
share
like
bulleted
highlights
of
certain
things,
but
you
tell
me.
N
No
I'm
just
asking
if,
if
frank
is
on
the
line,
if
he
could
give
an
update
on
where
we're
at
with
possibly
having
dr
raj
in.
C
The
islamophobia
resolution
is
done
due
to
covet
director
reed,
and
I
have
not
been
able
to
connect.
I
believe
I
need
to
sign
the
document
and
we'll
try
to
get
that
done
sooner
than
later.
Okay,.
N
Thank
you
and,
if
anybody's
interested,
I
do
have
s
extra
masks.
If
anybody
wants
to
give
them
out
to
community
members-
and
I
did
ask
for
more
to
pass
out
to
community
members,
I'm
thinking
about
hospitals,
homeless,
encampments
regarding
the
mass
distribution
and
question.
Can
our
urban
scholars
work
with
the
civil
rights
commission,
so
we
can
create
possibly
a
junior
commission
and
teach
you
some
leadership,
skills
and
education
on
civil
rights.
O
Yes,
ma'am
chair-
I
am
I
was
on
before,
but
I
just
had
a
trouble
with
my
button,
but
that
is
something
that
I
can
bring
up
with
cassidy
gardner
who
oversees
the
urban
scholars
program.
I
can
see
what
what
can
be
done
there
happy
to
meet
with
with
you
vice
chair,
to
see
what
the
way
forward
on
something
like
that
could
be.
I'm
not
sure
what
the
possibilities
are,
but
it
seems
interesting.
O
Yeah,
I
I
don't
know
what
update
I
could
I
can
give
on
that.
I
know
that
it's
been
talked
about
here
recently,
but
I'm
open
to
the
discussion.
N
Okay,
well,
hopefully,
we
can
connect
and
talk
about
that,
and
this
is
to
the
commission
as
a
whole.
If
we
could
do
something
to
recognize
outgoing
commissioners
maybe
create
a
letters
of
appreciation,
also,
if
they're
interested
in
recognizing
commissioners
who
have
served
for
more
than
three
years
and
letters
of
appreciation
as
well.
N
C
So,
let's
open
it
up
for
discussion
on
the
first
one
right
on
the
acknowledge
commissioners.
So
do
we
have
any
questions
or
comments
on
that
and
then
we
can
take
it
to
a
vote.
E
C
Okay,
so
should
we
bring
it
to
a
vote
to
someone?
Do
you
want
to
present
a
motion
to
adopt
that
vice
chair.
N
Yes,
madam
chair,
I
would
like
to
put
forth
a
motion
to
recognize
commissioners
that
are
leaving
the
commission
for
their
wonderful
service
and
those
who
have
served
for
more
than
three
years.
C
C
A
E
J
I
E
F
C
So
that
we
do
need
director
read
for.
C
N
Yes,
that
is
my
question.
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
discuss
that
at
a
later
time
or
if
you
feel
okay,
sharing
that
information.
O
O
As
you
know,
those
budget
discussions
are
ongoing.
There's
something
before
the
city
council
here
earlier
this
week,
and
it's
going
forward
so
just
know
that
we're
open
to
the
conversation,
but
there's
still
work
to
be
done.
C
You
for
all
of
your
work.
I
think
that
it's
great
and
honorable,
that
you
galvanized
and
coordinated
with
the
city
to
get
the
mass
and
get
those
distributed
out
to
the
city.
You
know
to
all
the
residents.
We
know
that
coven
19
is
rising
nationwide,
and
so
I
think
that
your
efforts
are
timely
and
much
appreciated
and
it's
a
good
look
for
the
commission.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
your
service.
C
C
C
So
just
keep
that
on
your
your
radar.
The
other
thing
is
that
we
will
be
having
elections
coming
up
in
january
or
february.
Whether
committing
well
depends,
we'll,
probably
still
be
in
quarantine,
but
those
of
you
who
are
thinking
of
maybe
running
for
office
and
leading
you
know
co-leading
supporting
the
governments
of
the
commission.
I
encourage
you
to
do
so.
C
Don't
be
shy,
start
thinking
about
if
any
of
you
have
any
questions
or
considering
something,
please
feel
free
to
reach
out.
I
have
an
open
email
policy
and
I
understand
that
we
have
quite
a
few
great
candidates
to
serve
in
the
2021
cohort.
C
I've
been
able
to
participate
in
a
few
of
the
interviews.
I
believe
a
few
of
you
have-
and
I
know
frank
will
probably
share
more
around
that,
but
that's
it
for
comments
for
me
just
so
any
of
the
business
around
budget
payment
and
several
other
items.
I
want
you
to
know,
and
I
want
it
on
record,
that
I
have
been
asking
and
advocating
for
these
things
since
the
beginning
of
my
term,
and
so
just
know
that
we
have
been
advocating
for
that.
C
We
have
completed
a
few
panel
reviews.
I
had
opportunity
to
serve
on
one
with
chair
mocher,
I
mean
with
commissioner
mockery
and
commissioner
hearts,
and
so
it
was
good.
I
believe
we
have
a
few
more
that
we've
completed
as
well.
So
I
think
that
we're
in
a
good
place
with
those-
and
I
think
that
we
have
a
few
more
coming
up,
but
we
are
working
at
the
pace
that
the
pandemic
allows.
C
C
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
good
evening.
Everybody.
I
wanted
to
start
with
some
updates
on
the
open
appointments
right
now.
There
are
12,
viable
applicants.
We
received
a
few
more,
but
some
were
sort
of
weeded
out
because
they
lived
outside
of
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
a
few
did
not
respond.
When
we
tried
to
set
up
interviews,
the
interview
process
began
on
11
9.
O
Although
the
class
closed
on
the
13th,
we
wanted
to
try
to
get
a
jump
on
interview,
so
we
would
create
enough
of
an
opportunity
to
go
before
the
the
council
and
get
approval
of
our
list,
so
we
figured
the
more
time
the
better,
thus
far
with
the
help
of
many
of
the
commissioners
and
doing
the
interviews,
which
has
been
really
helpful,
noting
that
there's
a
high
quality
of
applicants,
so
I'm
looking
for
the
new
slate
of
commissioners
to
be
very
good
and
ready
to
go.
O
I
wanted
to
note
that
it's
really
with
a
heavy
heart
that
I
note
that
velma
is
leaving
the
office
and
she's
been
a
great
mentor
to
me
for
for
many
years,
I've
known
her
since
she
started
and
that
at
some
level
I
wanted
to
note
that
her
background
is
just
full
of
amazing
accomplishments
and
I'll.
Just
read
just
a
couple
of
them
just
so
you
all
have
food
for
thought.
O
She
started
all
the
way
back
in
june
1st
of
2010,
which
wow
that
the
time
just
flew
by
at
a
time
where
there
were
a
number
of
directors
for
the
civil
rights
department
and
there
needed
to
be
some
stability
and
she
lended
stability.
Obviously,
from
that
time,
all
the
way
up
to
the
present
and
one
of
her
accomplishments
right
off
the
bat
was
there
was
a
huge
backlog
at
that
time
of
cases
pending
before
the
complaint
investigations
division.
O
She
was
able
to
knock
that
backlog
down
from
300
cases,
which
is
amazing
to
me
to
an
acceptable
level.
It's
been
able
to
maintain
it
ever
since
she
led
a
disparity
study
which
resulted
in
some
brown
groundbreaking
inclusion
of
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color
owned
businesses
and
helped
them
in
in
ways
that
allow
them
to
have
contracting
rights
with
the
city
of
minneapolis.
O
O
I
also
wanted
to
let
you
all
know
that
that
I
will
be
the
the
interim
director
of
the
department,
I'm
I'm
looking
at
my
my
feet
right
now,
I'm
looking
down
at
my
desk.
It's
like
I've
got
these
big
shoes.
I've
got
to
fill,
I
don't
see
my
feet
grown
anytime
soon,
but
I'm
I'm
hoping
that
you
will
all
you
know,
help
me
forward
and
all
of
this
I
plan
to
maintain
my
relationship
with
the
commission
and
continue
to
work
with
you
all
on
a
daily
basis.
O
So
I
just
wanted
to
to
let
you
all
know
that
no
changes
that
I
can
see
as
far
as
our
relationship
will
continue
to
work
forward
and
and
do
all
those
good
things
that
we
have
as
goals
going
forward.
So
thank
you.
C
Thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
for
definitely
sharing.
I
know.
Sometimes
we
miss
some
of
those
finer
details.
You
know,
especially
when
people
have
been
doing
it
for
so
long
and
velma's
career
is
illustrious
and
she
will
be
missed
and
thank
you
for
for
that
tribute
to
her,
but
I'm
sure
that
all
of
us
will
join
me.
All
of
the
commissioners
will
join
me
in
welcoming
you
into
that
role
and
congratulations.
O
No,
we
don't
tonight
and
that's
my
fault.
I
meant
to
to
include
him
in
the
discussion,
and
I
failed
to
do
that.
So
that
is
my
failure.
I'll
make
sure
that
he
is
available
for
december.
D
Commissioner,
kobia
has
new
business.
Sorry,
sorry.
I
Thanks,
I
just
wanted
to
sort
of
bring
this
up
as
a
oh
come
on
topic
of
conversation
in
general,
and
I
don't
know
that
it's
right
for
emotion
or
even
what
emotion
would
look
like,
but
as
we
are
getting
closer
and
closer,
it
looks
like
to
potentially
a
new
lockdown
in
minnesota.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
everyone
was
aware
of
the
racial
and
sex-based
disparities
that
are
occurring
specifically
due
to
lockdown
measures
in
addition
to
what
covid
the
disease
causes.
I
I
think
it
was
at
the
beginning
of
the
lockdowns
in
march.
There
was
a
study
done
by.
I
believe
the
I
have
npr
has
a
graph
on
it,
but
that
said
was
american
progress.org.
I
I
don't
know
what
that
is
that
one
in
five,
only
one
in
five
black
americans
have
a
job
that
is
capable
of
being
done
remotely,
while
30
percent
of
white
people
do
and
only
16
percent
of
hispanic
or
latino
ethnicity,
people
have
the
ability
to
work
from
home,
so
causing
or
requiring
people
to
work
from
home
has
its
own
racial
effect.
I
In
addition
to
you
know
the
effects
that
are
caused
by
the
disease-
and
I
think
it's
important
to
consider
that
also
recent
studies
and
and
some
media
have
been
showing
that
women
are
abandoning
the
workforce
at
a
rate,
I
believe
in
september
four
times
more
women
left
the
workforce
than
men,
so
there's
a
very
sex-based,
disparate
effect
on
women,
leaving
the
workforce
due
to
lockdown
effects,
as
well
as
you
know,
covet
in
general,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
point
out
or
or
keep
in
mind
that
there
are
things
that
the
government
does
to.
I
You
know
keep
us
safe
that
are
also
having
racially
and
sex
bias
results.
I
So
just
just
a
consideration,
you
know
I
don't
I
don't
want
to
start
any
arguments
about
science
or
what's
going
on,
but
just
something
that
I
wanted
to
bring
up
and
and
have
people
keep
in
mind.
That's
I
guess
I
guess.
C
What
would
you
propose
or
what
I
mean?
I
saw
those
reports
as
well
and
some
even
alluded
to
like
a
privileged
tax
right
where,
yes,
those
who
could
stay
home
should
pay
or
chip
in
somehow
I
don't
know
that
that
would
fall
on.
I
didn't
know
that
was
a
legitimate
policy
suggestion,
but
I
didn't
know
if
that
would
fall
on
the
folks
who
can
stay
home
or
would
it
fall
on
the
employers
or
legislators?
I
Yeah
so
for
me
like,
if,
if
I
were,
if
I
were
forced
to
come
up
with
an
action
item,
I
think
it
would
be
to
just
notify
the
governor
that
you
know
he
should
be
considering
these
disparate
effects
when
taking
action
to
lock
down
the
population.
E
D
I
I
like
the
idea
of
having
some
sort
of
action
item,
even
if
it
is
notifying
the
governor
via
you
know,
some
sort
of
document
that
talks
about
these
desperate
effects.
I
mean
you
can
talk
about
pretty
much
in
every
capacity
there's
some
sort
of
disparity.
I
mean
kids,
not
having
access
to
education
or
you
know
not
getting
sick
and
not
being
able
to
quarantine
in
your
multi-generational
household,
the
domestic
abuse
rates
skyrocketing.
D
C
My
gut
impulse
says
to
invite
you,
commissioner,
cobia,
to
the
cer
meeting,
where
maybe
we
can
hash
it
out
a
little
more.
That
would
be
my
first
thought,
but.
D
I
think
we
I
mean
we
do
have
the
kova
19
task
force
that
I
know
hasn't
done
a
whole
lot
other
than
gather
information,
but
I
think
that
would
be
a
good
good
task
for
that
group,
which
might
just
be
me
now.
C
No
disrespect
there
all
right,
commissioner
kobe,
are
you
willing
to
join
us?
Yes,
okay!
So
then,
commissioner
stevens
will
make
sure
that
you
get
an
invitation
to
that.
Any
other
comments
on
that.
K
Yes,
just
in
case
anyone
is
interested,
there
will
be
on
this
wednesday
at
9
00
a.m,
a
I
guess,
it's
being
billed
as
a
webinar,
but
it
the
title
is
anti-black
racism
and
police
brutality,
human
rights
defenders,
expectations
from
the
united
nations
human
rights
council.
It
will
have
panelists
from
the
united
states,
but
as
well
for
as
from
brazil,
jamaica,
france
and
nigeria
and
and
spain.
Sorry,
I
miss
spain,
so
it
should
be
an
interesting
discussion.
K
I
have
a
conflict,
so
I'm
not
going
to
be
able
to
attend,
but
I'll
put
the
registration
information
in
the
chat.
If
anyone
wants
to
sign
up,
it's
certainly
relevant
to
the
policing
and
civil
rights
working
group
or
task
force-
and
you
know
it's
just
something
that's
been
shared
through
my
network,
so
might
be
of
interest
fantastic.
C
Yes,
please
share
it
and
then
thank
you,
commissioner
stevens.
Are
you
able
to
grab
that
and
share
via
email,
yep?
Okay,
thank
you.
C
C
Oh
okay,
thank
you
all
right,
commissioner
as
well.
I
believe
that
that
brings
us
to
the
end
of
our
meeting.
Thank
you
all
for
your
time.
Please
be
careful,
mask
up,
maintain
social
distancing,
don't
cough
or
breathe
on
nobody.
C
D
C
C
Okay,
well,
we
can
dive
right
in.
I
believe,
let
me
see
all
of
our
chairs.
