Description
Minneapolis City Council Meeting
https://lims.minneapolismn.gov/
A
B
Thank
you
good
afternoon.
My
name
is
Lisa
van
der
and
the
president
of
the
Minneapolis
City
Council
I'm,
going
to
call
to
order
the
special
emergency
meeting
of
the
City
Council
for
May
30th.
This
meeting
was
called
by
Mayor
Frye
in
response
to
his
declaration
of
a
state
of
local
emergency
in
the
aftermath
of
joy,
George,
Floyd,
George,
Floyd's
murder,
this
past
Monday
May
25th
and
all
that
has
unfolded
in
our
city
in
the
in
the
last
few
days.
B
I'll
begin
by
noting
that
this
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
the
mayor
and
members
of
the
City
Council,
as
well
as
city
staff,
as
authorized
by
Minnesota
statute,
section
13
D
point
0
to
1
due
to
the
declared
public
health
emergency
from
coronavirus.
At
this
time,
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
roll
so
that
we
can
verify
a
quorum
for
this
meeting.
E
A
B
B
D
G
F
B
B
Kerry
is,
and
our
agenda
is
adopted.
Colleagues,
we
have
two
items
on
our
meeting
agenda
before
us.
The
first
item
is
a
report
from
the
mayor
and
he
Department
staff
about
the
state
of
the
local
emergency,
the
current
conditions
in
Minneapolis
and
in
addition
to
the
mayor,
we
will
be
joined
by
the
city
coordinator,
representatives
from
the
police
and
fire
department,
our
Emergency
Management
Director
and
several
other
departments
as
well.
We
have
a
lot
to
cover
today
and
I
want
to
fully
welcome
any
questions.
Comments
that
you
have.
We
will
adjourn
briefly
at
1:30
p.m.
B
so
that
council,
vice
president
Jenkins
and
I
can
take
a
phone
call
with
governor
walls.
So
my
hope
is
that
we
can
begin
with
mayor
Fry's
presentation.
My
understanding
is
that
Commissioner
Harrington
will
be
joining
us
during
that
portion
of
the
meeting
and
then
after
those
presentations,
we
can
ask
for
councilmember
questions
and
comments
on
that
section
and
then
just
gauge
the
time
around
that
1:30
adjournment
before
we
reconvene.
So
thanks
for
everyone's
flexibility
with
that
schedule.
Today,
with
that
I'll
begin
and
welcome
mayor
try
to
begin
the
report.
H
Thank
You
council
president
I
met
with
the
governor
as
well
as
several
other
commissioners,
including
Commissioner
Harrington,
both
late
last
night
as
well
as
early
this
morning,
and
it
became
evident
that
for
you
to
give
a
get
a
full
scope
and
understanding
of
what's
happening,
it
would
be
necessary
to
have
our
Commissioner
around
the
call
now
and
so
I
do
appreciate
his
presence.
As
of
Monday
May
25th.
Our
city
has
been
forever
changed
by
the
tragic
death
of
George
Floyd,
hey.
H
B
C
B
A
Council
president
bender
I
just
got
word
so
our
TV
channels
are
up
and
running.
We
are
sharing
a
link
through
social,
so
Facebook
Twitter
through
the
other
means
to
view
this
broadcast
online.
But,
yes,
our
city
website
is
down
right
now,
so
they
cannot
view
it
through
the
city
website.
But
the
link
that's
been
provided.
C
How's,
the
president
I,
would
suggest
that
before
we
resume,
if
it's
possible
I
know
the
other
communications
members
or
the
communications
team
are
helping
monitor,
it
would
be
helpful,
I
think
for
a
public
transparency
access
if
they
could
post
that
through
social
media
outlets.
The
communications
department
runs
the
link
to
that
and
also
which
specific
government
TV
channels.
B
B
B
B
Okay,
it
looks
like
the
clerk's
office
has
been
able
to
share
publicly
the
link
for
the
functioning
ways
to
watch
the
meeting.
So
I'll
just
give
us
a
few
more
seconds,
as
folks
maybe
are
able
to
share
that
with
their
own
networks,
and
then
we
will
be
able
to
resume
this
meeting
with
peg
on
beginning
back
with
Mayor
Fry's
presentation.
So
thank
you
for
your
patience,
mayor,
Frye.
A
H
Thank
you,
madam
president,
as
I
mentioned,
we
will
have
Commissioner
Harrington
on
the
line
as
well
and
to
leave.
If
he's
still,
there
should
be
able
to
answer
some
questions
as
well
with
regard
to
the
state
response
and
how
the
joint
command
structure
is
set
up.
So
as
of
Monday
May
25th,
our
city
has
been
forever
changed
by
the
tragic
death
of
George
Floyd.
H
H
H
These
actions
do
demonstrate
the
values
that
our
city
does
and
continues
to
hold,
to
pushing
forward
with
this
very
difficult
work
of
addressing
the
deep
institutionalized
racism
in
our
city,
and
there
will
always
be
those
who
resist
systemic
change,
but
I
know
that
our
collective
community
is
committed
to
pushing
forward
and
will
continue
to
be
met
by
those
that
are
resisting,
but
together.
I
know
that
we
can
persist
in
this
work
and
I
know
that
there
are
so
many
in
great
pain
out
there
right
now.
H
So
what
started
as
largely
peaceful
protests
of
those
that
were
truly
expressing
themselves
turned
violent
and
eventually
to
looting
and
rioting,
we
saw
last
night,
a
city
that
was
washed
with
broken
glass
and
neighbors
that
are
waking
up
to
burn
out
buildings,
community
institutions
that
have
been
lost.
In
some
cases,
the
ash
from
the
fires
was
spread
miles
away
over
the
last
48
hours.
H
Yes,
in
fact,
the
confor
psa's
that
have
been
converging
on
minneapolis
have
drastically
changed.
We
have
now
become
sort
of
a
rallying
point
for
groups
and
individuals
who
have
no
interest
in
honoring
the
life
or
mourning
the
death
of
George
Floyd
I
I
do
understand
that
there
are
still
people
that
are
looking
to
peacefully
protest.
I
want
to
take
a
scalpel
to
exemplify
those
people,
but
I
want
to
say
you
know.
We've
also
got
a
very
large
group
that
is
in.
K
H
On
Wednesday
afternoon,
immediately
after
receiving
word
from
Rondo,
that
MPD
would
not
be
able
to
carry
the
burden
alone,
and
this
was
around
the
time
of
the
first
looting
of
the
target.
I
requested
the
governor
call
in
the
National
Guard
Wednesday
afternoon.
We
needed
their
support
and
we
continued
to
need
it.
I'll
note
that
Minneapolis
has
around
800
plus
sworn
officers
with
obviously
far
fewer.
H
That
can
be
on
duty
at
any
given
shift
and
we've
been
bolstered
by
the
support
of
several
other
agencies,
but
we
couldn't
take
what
was
clearly
coming
our
way
on
our
own.
Our
ability
to
maintain
the
safety
and
peace
in
the
city
has
no
doubt
been
complicated
by
the
fact
that
it
is
the
actions
of
our
Minneapolis
Police
Department
officers
that
was
responsible
for
George
Floyd's
death
that
created
this
situation.
H
To
begin
with,
it's
further
complicated
by
the
dynamics
we
see
on
the
ground,
strategies
used
to
attack
and
then
set
fire
to
communities
and
buildings
requires
an
officers
response,
thus
opening
our
police
precincts
to
attack,
and
vice
versa.
We
just
can't
sit
by.
We
cannot
sit
by
idle
and
allow
our
city
to
destroy
to
be
destroyed.
We
can't
allow
the
loss
of
resources
and
jobs
in
the
very
fabric
of
our
communities,
especially
during
a
time
of
kovat
19.
We
need
our
grocery
stores
right
now.
We
need
our
banks
for
cash.
H
H
H
We
have
set
up
a
unified
command
structure
on
Wednesday
I
made
the
request,
as
I
mentioned,
for
the
National
Guard.
That
request
was
then
met
on
late,
Thursday
early
Friday
morning
and
was
implemented
throughout
the
day.
The
chief
and
Commissioner
Harrington
can
speak
more
about
that
new
structure
in
just
a
bit,
but
under
a
unified
command
structure.
The
Department
of
Public
Safety
Minnesota
National
Guard,
is
working
as
a
lead
public
safety
agency,
in
coordination
with
Minneapolis
st.
Paul
Bloomington
met,
transit,
Anoka
and
in
Ramsey
County.
H
The
state
oversees
a
resource
allocation
and
overall
strategy
as
part
of
that
unified
command
structure
and
under
the
structure
of
both
the
Atlas
and
st.
Paul,
are
now
operating
with
the
direction
of
the
guard.
Minneapolis
Police
Department
policies
such
as
not
requiring
proof
of
immigration
status,
remain
in
effect,
an
MPD
remains
the
jurisdiction,
primary
primarily
responsible
for
the
work
within
the
city,
but
we
are
receiving
supports
in
numerous
different
locations.
H
The
support
we
expect
extends
beyond
the
Public
Safety
Agency
and
includes
the
DNR
MnDOT
net
Council
and
other
law
enforcement
partners,
and
during
the
curfew
that
was
put
in
place
by
the
governor
and
then
our
city.
We
can
expect
our
partners
to
help
by
clearing
the
streets
of
trash
and
abandoned
vehicles,
directing
traffic
and
protecting
essential
city
infrastructure,
especially
those
that
are
critical
during
this
pandemic.
H
G
H
I've
had
to
be
in
making
the
decisions
and
calls
that
I've
had
to
make.
This
is
tough,
there's
no
way
around
it
and
I
know.
I
know
our
cities
really
did.
I
am
too
trying
to
contain
the
aggression,
violence
and
protect
the
residents
and
employees
of
this
city
with
non-lethal
force
is
a
critical
component
and
how
we
can
achieve
that
as
our
police
precincts
and
all
they
contain
have
become
targets,
so
we're
doing
everything
that
we
can
right
now
to
put
out
fires
across
our
city
and
I'll.
H
Council
president
I'm
gonna
I'm
gonna
stop
there
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
Commissioner
Harrington.
If
he
wants
to
provide
an
update
about
how
this
structure
is
working
both
over
the
last
day
or
two,
but
more
importantly,
the
future
in
tonight,
and
then
we
can
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have
Thank.
B
B
H
J
Madame
president
councilmembers,
so
as
first
and
foremost
I
just
again
want
to
say
that
in
this
space
that
offer
my
sincere
condolences
to
mr.
Floyd's
family
and
friends,
we
have
recently
operated
under
a
unified
command
system
which,
which
is
really
simply
the
state,
will
kind
of
take
an
overarching
lead
and
the
in
terms
of
the
resources
and
and
helping
to
assist
us
and
the
areas
where
we
need
to
provide
safety
and
security
to
our
city.
We
are
operating
in
a
in
a
space
where
we
are
able
to
share
real-time
information.
J
We
are
able
to
get
requests
for
different
assets
throughout
our
city
and
to
better
work
in
coordination
with
all
these
other
different
multi
agencies
to
help
with
the
main
and
number-one
goal
of
the
peace
and
security
of
Minneapolis.
As
mayor
said,
I
knew
back
Wednesday
that
situations
were
rapidly
deteriorating
in
our
city
was
culminated,
or
certainly
what
started
with
the
the
looting
of
the
Target
store
and
and
self
in.
J
J
We
found
out
obviously
over
the
last
24
hours,
that
the
resources
that
we
have
on
the
ground-
we
certainly
needed
more,
and
so
that
will
be
helpful
as
we
move
forward
into
the
day
and
through
the
next
several
days
and
in
really
trying
to
to
stabilize
and
reduce
the
the
the
violence
and
destruction
that
a
core
group
of
individuals
are
doing
to
try
to
harm
our
community.
And
so
that
is
that
is
the
situation
where
we
are
at
today.
A
J
L
L
Happy
to
happy
to
join
you
thanks
for
the
invitation.
I'll
start
with
the
curfew,
question
and
way:
I
won't
forget
it.
We
recognized,
as
we
discussed
with
governor
Tim
Walz,
what
strategies
we
thought
might
work
that
the
curfew
was
not
going
to
be
universally
accepted
or
necessarily
universally
favored.
L
The
issue
that
we
struggled
with
was
that
as
we
had
begun
working
in
a
unified
command
with
MPD
Minnesota,
National
Guard,
the
Sheriff's
Department
Minnesota,
State,
Patrol
and
DNR,
we
recognize
that
part
of
our
struggle
in
clearing
areas
and
taking
control
of
areas
is
that
we
had
a
mix
of
people
out
there.
We
had
good
people
who
really
were
there
because
they
were
heartbroken
I
loved
mr.
L
Floyd,
that
wanted
to
protest
about
police
brutality
and
about
about
the
particular
case,
but
they
were
mixed
in
with
people
that
appeared
to
pretty
much
just
be
bent
on
starting
fires,
hurling
objects,
at-at
fire
trucks.
They
broke
out
most
of
the
windows
of
several
of
your
fire
trucks,
as
they
were
trying
to
respond
for
the
fires
they
set
breaking
into
buildings
using
the
materials
they
took
from
the
buildings,
and
we
were.
We
looked
at
this
and
thought
if
we
could
get
the
good
people
of
Minneapolis
the
folks
at
whose
heartfelt
concern
for
this
tragedy.
L
L
As
we
were
setting
the
curfew,
we
in
fact
briefed
our
officers
saying,
and
you
had
to
use
good
discretion
with
the
curfew,
because
we
recognized
that
if
you
were
fleeing
a
domestic
violence
situation,
we
could
not
ask
you
to
stay
in
in
your
house
if
you
were
homeless,
that,
by
definition,
your
ability
to
not
be
out
and
about
is,
is
severely
cramped.
And
so
we
talked
to
our
officers
about
trying
to
make
sure
they
were
making
good
judgments
about
how
they
would
enforce
the
curfew.
L
L
Is
there
going
to
be
some
really
good
and
well-organized
places
for
for
First,
Amendment
rights
and
and
I
can
tell
you
that,
as
we
set
up
our
unified
command,
one
of
the
values
that
we
set
that
command
up
around
was
that
we
part
of
our
job
is
in
fact
to
guarantee
that
people's
First
Amendment
rights
are
protected.
But
we
recognize
that
in
a
world
where,
while
you're
having
a
protest,
while
you
have
your
sign
while
you're
trying
to
speak,
someone
is
throwing
Molotov
cocktails
at
a
police
station
or
is
setting
fire
to
a
car.
L
When
we,
you
know,
when
we
looked
at,
you
know
if
we
would
drive
through
an
area
the
folks
that
we
drove
fast
word,
not
folks,
that
we
believed
were
residents
of
your
city
and
and
in
fact
the
community
act
action
folks
that
I'd
have
worked
with
in
your
city
for
the
six
years,
while
I
was
at
Metro
Transit.
The
comments
that
I've
gotten
from
them
and
from
others
who
are
long-standing
members
of
your
community,
is
that
the
folks
that
have
been
out
at
night,
especially
late
at
night.
L
Aren't
your
people
they're,
not
you're,
not
part
they're,
not
your
community
and
and
that
they
didn't
know
these
folks
and
I.
Think
that
is
borne
out.
As
we
looked
at
some
of
the
arrests
and
the
addresses
for
several
of
the
people
that
we
arrested
are
from
Arkansas
they're
from
Ames
Iowa
they're
from
Matson
Illinois
they're
from
temperance,
Michigan
they're
from
Kansas
they're
in
Missouri.
L
I
would
most
strongly
encouraged
you
to
talk
to
your
citizens
and
say
to
them.
What
we
want
for
you
is.
We
do
want
you
to
be
able
to
express
yourself,
but
we
also
want
you
to
be
safe
and
I.
Don't
feel
like.
I
can
really
say
that
in
the
last
few
nights
with
the
fires
and
the
shootings
and
the
explosions
that
and
the
routing
that
that
being
out
and
about
right
now
is
a
safe
is
safe
for
many
people.
L
So
that
would
be
my
that
was
my
perspective
on
on
the
curfew.
I
I'm
happy
to
answer
questions
now
about
the
curtains.
If
that
would
be
helpful
or
I
can
kind
of
go
into
what
the
unified
command
and
how
the
state
has
been
seeking
to
operate,
and
we
are
continuing
to
expand
the
services
and
the
resources
that
we
are
bringing
to
the
city
of
Minneapolis
literally
everyday.
We
have
expanded
and
increased
since
mayor
v
made
that
first
request.
B
Yeah
I
think
I
think
continuing
would
be
great,
I
think.
Maybe
I'll
just
highlight
a
couple
of
questions
that
I
know
I've
heard
from
council
members
in
the
past
again
just
to
kind
of
guide.
All
that
you
might
have
to
share
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
concern,
of
course,
about
the
fires
that
we're
seeing
and
questions
about
the
ability
to
just
make
sure
our
fire
trucks
can
get
to
where
they
need
to
go.
L
L
We
had
for
the
first
night
we
had
about
250
people
that
we
were
bringing
to
this
now
that
first
night,
that
was
made
up
primarily
of
about
a
hundred
Minnesota
State
Troopers,
a
smattering
of
Minnesota,
DNR
folks,
and
then
a
few
more
people,
not
a
few
more
about
a
hundred
folks
from
the
Minnesota
National
Guard.
What
we
had
originally
when
mayor
Frey
asked
for
us
to
have
folks
there,
our
original
thought
was,
we
were
trying
to
get
ready
for
today.
L
Actually
we
were
trying
to
get
ready
for
what
we
were
told
was
75,000
people
coming
to
town,
because
what
we
had
seen
that
first
night
was
we've
seen
folks
coming
out
to
protest
and
we've
seen
that
group
having
expressed
their
anger
at
the
third
Precinct,
but
we
didn't.
We
did
not
believe
at
that
time.
L
They
have
had
many
many
firefighters
that
have
been
hit
with
rocks
or
stones
or
batteries,
and
but
we
have
maintained
that
that
that
posture
with
30
National
Guard
folks,
essentially
providing
escort
duty
to
the
Minneapolis
Fire
Department
since
that
night.
Now
we
have
also
at
the
at
the
Mac
a
multi-agency
commit
Coordination
Center.
L
We
have
folks
from
the
Minnesota
State
Fire,
Marshal's
Association,
and
so
we
have
been
today
entertaining
trying
to
figure
out
what
other
fire
resources
should
we
be
bringing
in,
at
the
same
time,
we're
bringing
in
more
National
Guard
folks
we're
trying
to
bring
in
additional
officers
additional
corrections.
Officers
as
necessary.
L
They
didn't
mention
mr.
Floyd,
and
they
didn't
seem
to
be
mentioning
anything
elder
than
that
they
were
angry
and
that
they
wanted
to
do
something
about
that.
We
kept
the,
but
we
kept
the
National
Guard
with
them,
but
we
felt
it
was
really
very
dangerous
for
the
for
the
National
Guard,
guys
and/or
the
fire
companies
to
be
able
to
go
out,
and
we
trusted
to
Friedel
to
make
the
professional
judgment
of.
L
When
did
we
go
out,
and
when
did
we
not
go
out
if
it
was
if
it
appeared
to
them
that
it
was
too
dangerous
or
that
the
fire
was
so
far
gone
as
a
structure
fire
that
they
did
not
feel
that
they
could
save
life
or
save
the
property?
That
was
a
decision
that
we
left
to
the
firefighters,
but
we
try
to
try
to
provide
security
and
and
and
cover
for
the
firefighters
while
they
were
getting
from
point
A
to
point
B.
L
Well,
let
me
just
I
will
add
just
a
couple
more
points
and
then
I'll
take
questions
as
you
wish.
We
have
established
a
unified
command
at
a
multi-agency
coordination
center
and
for
those
of
you
that
were
with
me
during
the
RNC
or
with
me
during
the
Superbowl.
This
is
very
similar
to
so
how
we
operate
it
there.
We
have
made
sure
that
Minneapolis
has
a
prominent
seat
at
the
table.
Kathy
wait,
who's
been
my
primary
contact.
Other
than
chief
Arredondo
has
done
a
great
job
of
helping
us
identify.
L
L
Obviously,
the
third
precinct
has
really
been
sort
of
ground
zero
and
we've
seen
repeated
attempts
to
breach
the
third
Precinct,
ultimately
causing
the
chief
to
have
to
evacuate
staff
from
the
third
Precinct
and
then
seem
that
the
precinct
burned
and
quite
honestly
that
that
that
was
I
think
the
prudent
decision.
It
was
not
an
easy
decision.
L
I
can't
I've
run
police
departments,
it
couldn't
been
an
easy
decision,
but
at
a
point
where
you
were
going
to
lose
life
versus
losing
property,
it
was
the
decision
that
I,
honestly
supported
and
I
thought
made
the
most
sense
and
couldn't
two
nights.
My
troopers
stood
out
in
front
of
there
trying
you
know
trying
to
keep
people
from
getting
into
senator
fire
and
I've
got
multiple
troopers
that
were
injured
through
rocks
and
other
projectiles
being
hurled
at
them.
L
L
They
was
burned
and
exploded,
and
we
saw
once
again
an
attempt
to
breach
the
4th
precinct
and
break
into
that
that
required
security
measures
being
taken
there
and
then
most
recently,
the
area
that
we
think
is
is
now
becoming
their
new
central
target
is
the
5th
precinct
we
had
between
four
and
five
thousand
people
surrounding
the
fifth
precinct
last
night,
I
said
I
want
you
to
keep
that.
We
were
trying
to
put
together
a
team
of
a
thousand
people
to
work
Minneapolis
and
st.
L
Paul,
and
when
we
got
to
the
4th
precinct
to
the
5th
precinct,
we
found
literally
four
to
five
times
our
maximum
capacity
surrounding
that
that
building
we
were
having
shots
fired
at
us.
As
I
said,
we
had
an
improvised
explosive
device
that
injured
four
sort
of
state
troopers
exploded
in
their
faces
proportionate.
L
What
we've
seen
in
their
new
tactic
is
as
soon
as
a
show
of
force,
a
mobile
field
force
a
group
of
folks
coming
in
on
a
skirmish
line.
Now,
what
we're
seeing
is
that
they
run
into
the
neighborhoods
and
disappear
well,
that
it
stops
the
conflict
between
the
police
and
and
these
rioters,
but
it
also
does
which
will
raise
me.
Is
it
then
causes
folks
to
be
in
the
neighborhoods,
and
we
don't
know
what
they're
going
to
do.
We've
had
them.
L
Ten
carjackings,
we've
clearly
seen
them,
loot
and
so
having
them
run
into
the
residential
neighborhoods
is
really
very
frightening
for
me,
and
my
staff,
the
troopers,
the
DNR
and
the
National
Guard
folks,
we're
not
Minneapolis
we're
not
from
Minneapolis
99%
of
us
and,
as
a
consequence,
I.
We
can't
really
have
us,
go
chasing
them
into
territory
that
we
neither
know
under
the
cover
of
darkness,
where
they,
where
they
feel
they
seem
to
feel
like
they
are
very,
very
much
operating
with
impunity.
L
I
will
also
mention
the
Nicollet
Mall
in
the
first
precinct
last
night
once
again,
and
this
was
a
new.
This
is
another
change
in
tactics
where,
as
we
just
seen
mostly
a
couple
hundred
to
maybe
500
people
on
Lake
Street
and
the
last
night,
we
had
east
of
Hiawatha
west
of
Hiawatha.
We
had
North
Minneapolis
and
we
have
a
thousand
people
along
the
Nicollet
Mall
beginning
throwing
rocks
at
the
Hyatt,
and
we
had
been
doing
looter
patrol
on
in
downtown
Minneapolis
the
night
before.
L
But
that
is
another
great
place
of
great
concern
to
us
because
much
as
we
were
concerned
about
your
City
Hall
much
as
we
were
concerned
about
the
federal
courthouse
much
as
we
were
concerned
about
these
precinct
houses
being
targets.
We
also
recognize
that
your
major
businesses
in
downtown
Minneapolis
are
anchors.
They
are
symbols
of
the
city
and
once
again
seeing
the
IDs.
You
know
our
some
other
property
in
downtown
attacked
would
also
send
a
really
horrifyingly
bad
signal
about
our
ability
to
keep
things
intact.
L
We
haven't
talked
about
all
the
fires
that
they've
said,
which
I
believe
is
both
a
distraction
and
a
tactic
that
they're
using
and
so
general
Jen
and
now
has
2000
National
Guard
folks.
Here
we
have
brought
in
every
state
trooper
that
is
available
in
the
state
of
Minnesota
and
all
of
the
DNR
brought
them
into
this
unified
command
so
that
we
can
beat
this
up.
L
We
don't
really
see
this
ending
tonight.
I
think
when
we
first
were
briefed
on
this
and
looked
at
the
oh
they're
gonna
have
the
rap
there
have
this
big
rally
today
too,
and
we
thought
oh,
that
will
be
end
of
it
there
we're
seeing
that
this
lawless
behavior
in
it.
It
really
does
appear
to
us
that
that's
not
going
to
stop
until
we
make
it
stop
until
we
put
it
into
place
measures
that
don't
allow
the
rioters
to
continue.
L
What
looks
like
an
organized
looting
campaign
all
over
the
state
of
Minnesota
I've
got
looting
from
Mankato
through
the
luth
and
everywhere
in
between
and
it
and
the
riotous
behaviors
with
the
fires
and
the
objects
being
torn
thrown
at
people
and
and
the
assaultive
behavior.
It
doesn't
appear
to
us
that
that
will
stop
unless
we
come
together
as
a
community
and
make
it
stop,
and
so
that
is
that
is
our
approach
to
this.
L
We
recognize
we're
going
to
have
to
change
our
tactics
because
they
keep
changing
tactics
to
meet
us
and
they
are
meeting
us
they're
meeting
us
in
a
way
that
it
really
does
speak
to
sort
of
an
conventional
model
where
they
initially
they
were
very
direct.
It
was
very
confrontational.
Now
they
are
doing
more
of
a
hit-and-run
approach
and
we're
not
sure
what
tactic
we
will
see
tonight.
L
But
we
are
stepping
up
our
approach
to
try
and
be
more
nimble,
more
flexible
and
more
responsive,
so
that
we
can
shift
on
the
fly
to
the
tactics
that
we
see
demonstrated
on
the
streets
of
Minneapolis
and
I
did
mention.
But
we
are
committed
also
to
the
critical
infrastructure
and
supporting
other
st.
Paul
just
as
much.
B
G
He
comes
buzzient.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here,
commissioner,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
all
you're
doing
for
the
city.
People
need
to
know
that
they're
gonna
be
safe
tonight,
so
it'd
be
really
good
to
hear.
You
know
how
this
plan
for
tonight
is
going
to
keep
people
safe
and
especially
in
light
of
how
the
last
previous
night's
have
have
failed.
So
it'd
be
helpful
to
know
what's
different,
what
you've
learned
from
the
previous
night's
and
how
you're
preparing
for
tonight.
L
Wow,
what's
different
tonight
is
a
we
recognized
that
we
did
not
have
an
a
thousand
at
the
first
250
nor
as
a
thousand,
nor
at
even
2500
with
when
you
look
at
Minneapolis,
st.
Paul,
the
shares
departments
and
all
folks
we
brought
to.
We
recognize
that
the
numbers
we
had
were
not
sufficient
to
meet
the
level
of
activity
that
was
out
there,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
is
different
is
we
are
pulling
in
every
possible
resource.
We
can.
We
are
beefing
up
regard
by
thousands.
We
are
adding
hundreds
of
additional
police.
L
We
are
adding
in
every
possible
Public
Safety
resource,
including
considering.
How
can
we
do
a
better
job
on
fire
suppression
and
fire
response?
So
that's
one
difference
is
that
we
are
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
are
going
to
have
adequate
staff
so
that,
if
we're
once
it's
like,
we
are
last
night
fighting
in
four
different
parts
of
the
city
and
parts
of
st.
Paul,
that
we
have
adequate
resources
that
we
are
not
having
make
a
decision.
L
What
do
I
do
downtown
or
do
I
do
Lake
Street
East,
and
that
was
where
we
were
last
night.
We
found
ourselves
having
to
make
choices
and
when
you
make
made
those
choices,
people
continue
to
act
with
impunity
and
it
got
worse
in
those
areas
where
we
could
not
or
did
not
feel
we
had
adequate
resources
to
do.
The
other
thing
that
we
are
doing-
and
this
is
for
the
direction
of
the
governor
is-
we
are
not
planning
to
wait
as
long
last
night.
L
We
waited
well
until
after
the
curfew
that
was
our
we
were
hoping.
The
curfew
would
dissuade
some
folks.
It
did
just
wait
some
folks,
but
I
I
really
do
believe.
We
started
our
patrols
and
our
being
really
visible
too
late.
It
was
already
dark
by
the
time
we
had
people
out
into
some
of
these
places
and
by
the
time
we
got
our
folks
out
and
into
those
neighborhoods
they,
the
the
the
rioters,
had
already
set
up
their
command
and
control
systems
in
those
neighborhoods,
and
so
you
can
expect
to
see
us
out
earlier.
H
H
This
was
simple
math
and
in
the
first
couple
of
day
that
by
the
second
or
third
day
it
was,
it
was
very
clear
that
Minneapolis
simply
did
not
have
the
capacity
in
either
our
Police
Department
and
in
some
cases,
even
in
our
fire
department,
and
that's
why
we
we
asked
for
that
that
assistance
from
the
state
so
quickly
there
was
no
possible
way
to
do
it.
Otherwise,
and.
L
I
concurred
that
we
would
your
assessment
and
I
will
add
to
that.
The
comment
that
my
governor
has
made,
which
is
I,
think
for
many
people.
They
didn't
realize
that
in
order
to
pull
the
National
Guard,
and
it
is
because
it
is
the
National
Guard,
it
is
not
as
simply
as
simply
saying
well
send
me
five
hundred
people
today,
because
those
people
have
to
be
pulled
out
of
their
regular
jobs.
They
have
to
be
sent
to
a
place
where
they
are
then
equipped.
They
have
to
be
briefed
to
have
to
be
staffed.
L
Then
you
have
to
get
them
transported
to
point
A
to
B
and
all
of
that
takes
time
and
and
did
take
time,
and
so
even
with
today.
You
know
we
started
last
night
soon,
as
we
realize
the
kind
of
numbers
we
had.
We
began
having
general
Jensen
calling
in
and
doing
readiness
work
to
make
sure
that
at
before
first
light
today
we
were
already
having
folks
moving
towards
Minneapolis
and
st.
Paul
I.
G
Know,
thank
you
for
that.
I
think
part
of
part
of
my
question
was
just
that
folks
have
not
heard
that
every
day
they've
woken
up
and
and
just
seeing
that
the
night
before
was
worse
than
the
other
one,
and
they
can't
believe
that
that's
happening
in
their
city
and
what
they're
not
hearing
from
from
their
leaders
is
you
know
what
what
mistakes
have
been
made,
not
in
a
blame
way,
but
I
know
what
we
need
to
do
better
before
we
go
to
bed
tonight
and
I.
Think
that's
really
been
the
neat.
B
Thank
you.
There
are
a
number
of
customers
in
queue.
I
am
going
to
turn
the
chair
over
to
customer
Johnson
in
about
15
minutes,
so
I
do
want
to
just
quickly
ask
a
question.
With
apologies
to
my
colleagues
piggybacking
on
customer
Schrader's,
which
is,
could
you
speak
to
the
situation
where
we
saw
last
night?
B
We
had
lots
of
protesters
out
as
well,
and
now,
as
we
see
our
communities
preparing
for
tonight,
it
looks
like
there
are
lots
of
residents
who
are
planning
to
be
out
to
help
put
out
fires
on
their
blocks
or
protect
their
homes
and
businesses,
and
how
will
that
dynamic
go
with
law
enforcement?
I
mean.
How
will
we
make
sure
that
folks
who
are
out
protesting
are
also
safe
in
this
environment?.
L
L
We
do
not
want
them
to
try
and
you
know,
stop
a
Molotov
cocktail
by
getting
in
front
of
it,
because
the
folks
that
we're
dealing
with
have
not
shown
any
reluctance
to
use
force
against
other
people,
and-
and
so
we
do
not
want
to
see
anyone
compromise
their
safety.
We
would
prefer
that
they,
if
they
they
see,
then
will
it
strike,
but
it
they
see
something
we'd
like
them
to
say
something,
and
we
hope
that
you
will
help
encourage
them
in
that
line
of
conduct.
L
What
I
have
told
my
staff
and
what
we
will
as
we're
briefing
books
that
are
going
to
be
working
tonight,
is
that
we
have
to
use
good
sense
and
discretion
and
that
there
are
gonna
be
times
we
talked
last
night.
Commissioner
harvest
had
talked
about.
It
was
a
senator
with
disabled
individuals
that
I
think
they
get
done.
L
Their
shift
ends
at
about
nine
o'clock
and
they're
right
off
of
Lake
Street,
and
we
notified
the
crews
that
were
working
Lake
Street,
that
they
might
well
be
walking
home
or
walking
to
their
cars
and
that
they
should
a
look
to
protect
them
in
the
in
that
pursuit,
and
that
our
mission,
then,
is
to
get
them
to
a
safe
place,
not
to
stop
them
and
not
to
arrest
them
and,
and
that
mostly
I
would
say
happen.
There's
there
certainly
were
some
cases
where
I
think
we
were.
L
We
were
not
quite
so
sure
what
we
were
dealing
with
and
we
asked
some
questions
and
I
I
think
we
got
our
interest
as
we've.
Very
few
people
got
arrested
for
curfew,
violation
and
I.
You
haven't
gotten
a
lot
of
complaints
about
about
people
trying
to
enforce
the
curfew
so
I
think
especially
tonight,
because
we
do
think
it
is
it.
This
will
be
a
night
where
we
will
see
folks
make
an
attempt
to
send
their
own
message
and
I
think
that's
the
rioters,
not
the
protesters
that
I
that
I'm
worried
about.
L
B
Thank
You
counselor
garden
you're,
my
microphone
assistant,
thank
you
for
sure
I.
Customer
kind
of
is
next
in
queue.
I
do
want
to
kind
of
emphasize
your
point
about
the
length
of
time.
We
are
likely
to
continue
to
experience,
protests
and
I
think
that
will
continue
until
our
community
feels
like
their
husband
and
had
a
quick
response
to
George
Floyd's
death,
and
that
is
part
of
what
all
of
us
will
need
to
come
together
to
work
on
as
well.
So
that
is
just
a
comment.
L
I
could
just
take
a
moment
that
I
have
a
heart
to
a
clock
that
I
have
to
be
at
and
I'm
going
to
leave
my
office
probably
pretty
shortly.
So
if
I
may
only
be
able
to
answer
this
next
question,
but
if
other
questions
come
in,
I
will
be
happy
to
I'll,
be
back
in
the
office
this
afternoon
either
make
it
written
replies
to
folks.
But
I
think
this
may
be
my
last
question,
because
I
do
have
to
travel
little
distance
to
get
to
my
next
two
o'clock
meeting.
K
Thank
you,
I'm
ready.
If
I
can
ask
my
question.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
leadership
on
this
topic.
Commissioner
have
really
appreciated.
I've,
had
dozens
of
requests
from
immigrant
business
owners
on
Lake
Street
and
from
light
allied
business
owners
on
Lake
Street
to
barricade
the
area
and
make
sure
that
no
one
is
allowed
to
come
in,
anticipating
that
just
like
yesterday,
the
curfew
rules
will
be
violated.
Can
you
please
confirm
that
that
is
something
you
can
do.
L
That
has
not
been
a
tactic
that
anyone
has
has
suggested
to
me
before
now.
It
is
certainly
something
I
would
consider
I
it.
Something
I
would
consider,
though,
in
concert
with
Chiba
Redondo
to
Friedel
and
others
to
make
sure
that
whatever
we
do
doesn't
doesn't
compromise
public
safety
in
a
different
way.
I
certainly
will
consider
that
I'm
certainly
take
that
back
to
that
my
unified
command
team
and
look
at
that.
It
does
fit
with
a
model
that
we
have
used
in
some
other
places.
L
If
they
haven't
been
as
residential
and
commercial
as
as
Lake
Street
is,
we've
used
it
on
freeways,
for
example,
where
we
have
simply
precluded
folks
from
being
able
to
get
onto
the
freeway
by
using
physical
barricades
there.
So
it
does
bear
some
consideration,
but
it
that
is
the
first
year.
The
first
person
who
has
made
that
suggestion
to
me
for
a
city
street
and
I
would
have
to
I,
will
happily
take
it
back
and
I'm
happy
to
work
it
through
the
system
and
see
if
there
is
a.
L
K
L
We
got
a
lot
of
calls
from
folks
and
they
were
very
frustrated
that
they
were
not
able
to
get
through,
and
so
we
certainly
understand
that
so
I'm
hopeful
that
this
afternoon
we
will
have
a
better
answer
for
you
and
that
will
then
publicize
that
answer
through
mayor
Frey,
through
chief
arredondo
and
through
City
Council,
to
make
sure
that
you
know
what
is
the
best
vehicle
to
get
information.
Get
your
answers,
your
questions
answered
quickly
and
to
be
able
to
express
concerns
and
give
us
tips.
L
Frankly,
one
of
the
things
that
is
very
it's
been
very
useful,
as
I've
started,
getting
tips
about
where
we
see
activity
and-
and
that
is
useful
information,
because
not
everybody's
calling
in
9-1-1
and
not
everybody-
is
willing
911
really
buried
on
some
of
these
nights.
So
we
recognize
that
that's
not
the
solution
necessarily
for
everybody.
Also.
K
I
understand,
thank
you,
I
appreciate
your
willingness
to
do
that,
and
my
last
question
is:
if
the
military
is
deployed
into
our
streets,
either
tonight
or
in
the
middle
of
the
night,
as
the
fires
start
again
into
the
dawn.
What
is
your
plan
or
what
is
the
the
leadership
plan
here
to
communicate
that
presence
to
council
members
as
soon
as
possible?
What
would
that
project?
Look
like
I.
L
Can
tell
you
right
now
that
we
will
have
National
Guard
folks,
guarding
the
fire
trucks
again
tonight
and
that
we
will
have
them
guarding
critical
infrastructure
again
tonight.
So
that
is
not
a
that's.
Not
something
I
need
to
advise
you
that
it's
going
to
happen.
It
is
it
has
been
happening
and
will
continue
to
happen
until
we
have
found
a
vehicle
for
generally
keeping
the
peace
and
returning
back
to
some
level
of
normality.
With
that,
let.
K
L
Will
have
to
defer
to
governor
walls,
because
that
is
the
decision.
The
governor
walls
will
have
to
make
as
I
understand
it.
We
have
had
conversations
where
that
has
been
offered
and
governor
walls
has
not
accepted
that
offer,
and
so
there
is
no
federalization
of
Minnesota
National
Guard.
We
are
working
with
local
National,
Guard
folks
and
not
working
on
under
federal
jurisdiction.
My
assumption,
which
really
is
dangerous
in
this
case,
is
that
if
we
were
to
be
operating
under
a
under
federal
authority
that
governor
walls
would
be
the
person
who
would
make
that
announcement
if.
K
You
allocate
if
you
do
end
up
in
a
situation
where
that
information
it
would
that
those
forces
will
be
released.
I
just
urge
you
to
please
ensure
and
advocate
for
the
clear
and
direct
communication
with
council
members,
not
just
the
mayor
with
council
members
that
that's
happening
because
of
the
actions
are
so
decentralized
that
it's
happened.
This
word
and
now
word
etc.
So
having
a
direct
line
to
the
13th,
the
12
of
us
would
be
extremely
important
because
having
the
the
Pentagon
presence
in
Minneapolis
changes
things,
it
is
a
completely
different
context.
K
It
is
completely
different
accountability
system,
so
it's
extremely
crucial
that
we
on
the
ground
are
able
to
to
know
about
that
and
last
but
not
least,
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
I
do
want
to
say
we
do
want
Lake,
Street
barricaded.
We
do
want
people
completely
out
of
that
corridor.
That
commercial
corridor
cannot
take
any
more
damage.
It
just
cannot
take
any
more
damage
and
it
if
it
is
allowed
to
take
more
damage,
it
will
never
come
back.
It
is
just
devastating
to
see
how
many
buildings
went
on
fire
within
an
hour
last
night.
K
Division
of
Indian
work,
US
bank
Hansie,
the
African
breeding
center,
then,
which
other
Vidia
I
mean
it's
just
a
complete
domino
effect
that
is
just
devastating
our
commercial
corridor.
Extremely
so
I
do
support
having
you
barricade
the
area
and
and
securing
it
and
making
sure
no
one
can
be
walking
down
the
streets,
and
that
is
a
concern
that
many
of
my
residents
are
asking
me
to
bring
tor
to
you
today.
So
thank
you
for
your
time.
You're.
L
B
Think
that
one
main
theme
that
I'm
seeing
from
councilmembers,
who
didn't
have
a
chance
to
ask
questions,
is
about
some
of
the
organizing
that's
happening
around
community-based
safety
and
just
wanting
to
have
some
coordination
and
communication
with
the
incident
command
center
about
sort
of
how
to
guide
or
support
residents
that
may
be
trying
to
fight
fires
or
other
community-based
safety.
So
that
will
be
something
to
follow
up,
which.
L
B
B
B
So,
council
member
Johnson,
thank
you
for
being
willing
to
take
that
on
I.
Think
with
this
wrapping
up
with
Commissioner
Harrington
council
members
may
have
questions
from
the
mayor's
earlier
presentation
and
then
I
know
that
we
also
have
folks
from
the
other
departments
as
well.
So
I'll
turn
it
over
to
council
member
Johnson
and
be
back
in
about
30
minutes.
Thank.
E
Thank
you,
I
am
I,
I,
think
Lisa,
but
council
president
bender
summed
it
up
perfectly
about
just
asking
how
people
that
are
organically,
forming
these
neighborhood
watch
groups
and
stuff
first
of
all,
is
that
something
that
is
really
cautioned
against.
I
didn't
hear
that
actually
from
the
Commissioner,
but
secondly,
how
aligned
into
our
incident
command
center
a
way
that
people
could
make.
You
know
essentially
some
reports
of
information
of
people
that
are
camping
out
in
vans.
I
E
N
H
Mr.
chair
councilmember,
Palmisano
I
also
start
with
the
answering
that
question.
I
also
turned
over
to
the
chief
to
see
if
he
has
any
additional
input.
You
know
I
I,
think
a
whole
lot
of
this
depends
on
what
those
neighborhood
community
watch
programs
look
like
I
mean
we
do
not
want
people
putting
themselves
in
danger
by
roving
around
on
the
streets
themselves.
H
We
are
asking
them
to
stay
home,
certainly
to
the
extent
that
there
is
information
we
should
have
a
mechanism
to
provide
it
and
I'll
ask
the
chief
what
the
most
efficient
way
of
doing
that
would
be
through
the
incident
command
structure,
as
well
as
the
the
command
through
the
state.
What
are
your
thoughts
chief?
Yes,.
O
Thank
you.
Everyone
and
thank
you
mayor
for
your
leadership.
I
know
that
this
has
been
an
incredibly
challenging
time,
and
so
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you're
doing
over
in
North
Minneapolis
and
particularly
I'll,
speak
for
work
for,
but
I
also
know
that
it's
an
issue
in
Ward
5,
that's
really
for
two
nights.
O
We
have
one
really
major
corridor
of
businesses,
which
has
been
hit
really
hard,
but
then
we
have
like
little
nodes
throughout
residential
areas
that
are
also
getting
hit,
and
so
because
of
the
fact
that
it's
a
smaller
scale,
it's
not
considered
as
urgent
as
like
four
or
five
thousand
people
around
a
police
precinct,
and
so
like.
That's,
that's
very
understandable.
O
And
so
what
folks
have
asked
for
is
organizing
the
ability
to
organize
councilmember,
Allison
and
I
are
working
with
community
around
this,
because
folks
had
to
post-up
ourselves
as
community
members
in
front
of
spaces
just
to
even
deter
folks,
because
their
strategy
was
we're.
Gonna
go
where
it's
dark,
where
it's
not
seen
was
not
well
lit
and
folks
aren't
there
to
set
so
that
the
challenge
around.
That
is
that
it
also
will
be
in
violation
of
curfew.
O
Well,
you
know
we
have
to
come
up
with
something
that
the
commissioner
said.
You
know
it
won't
stop
until
we
make
it
stop
and
that's
how
folks
neighbors
feel
in
North
Minneapolis,
and
so
it's
kind
of
like
how
do
we
work
in
partnership
to
be
able
to
protect
our
own
neighbor
neighborhoods
I
know
that
folks,
we
don't
want
them
confronting
people,
but
if
folks
call
9-1-1,
we
aren't
sure
if
anybody's
going
to
show
up
or
not
and
so
like.
What
are
we
supposed
to
do
in
this
sort
of
situation?
O
J
For
johnson
to
customer
cunningham,
so
the
very
thing
that
you
are
mentioning
here
about
neighbors
and
business
owners
gathering
together
to
do
the
best
that
they
can
to
protect
their
their
businesses,
their
livelihood.
We
expect
that
we
certainly
are
seeing
that
I've
seen
that
driving
through
Broadway
Avenue
driving
along
the
Lake
Street
corridor.
They
are
there
doing
that.
We
expect
to
do
that.
J
What
we're
really
trying
to
do
in
Mayor
berry
stresses
the
preservation
of
life
and
property
right
now.
The
reason
why
the
governor
is
certainly
the
mayor
has
enacted
this
curfew
is
to
keep
folks
who
have
bad
intentions
on
harming
our
communities,
but
in
those
cases
truly
we
understand
that
as
these
resources,
as
commissioner
Harrington
is
said,
today
have
become
more
robust,
you
will
see
and
I
believe
he
was
referring
it
to
counsel
for
Tonto
earlier.
J
You
will
see
a
great
deal
more
of
those
audits,
those
those
National
Guard's
persons
along
some
of
the
same
quarters
that
you
are
talking
about.
Counselor
cunningham,
still
continue,
encourage
still
continue.
They
have
those
call
9-1-1,
as
the
has
the
system
have
been
overwhelmed
over
the
last
72
hours
absolutely
have
with
the
priors
are
prioritizing.
Those
life-saving
necessary
calls
there's
planning
to
the
arson
so
that
they
don't
catch
on
to
another
gaze
into
structure.
Absolutely
we
still
continue
to
encourage
our
community
members
to
call
9-1-1,
but
discretion
has
not
been
thrown
out
of
the
door.
J
This
unified
command
and
I
expect
my
officers
to
make
sure
that
they're
still
again
treating
our
community
members
with
the
compassion
and
understanding,
particularly
in
light
of
this
situation
that
is
occurring
and
make
sure
that
they're
helpful
to
these
business
owners
who
are
really
trying
to
protect
their
their
livelihoods.
In
the
problem.
O
Coming
out,
yes,
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
that
Chi
pronto.
It's
it's
very
helpful
to
hear
that
and
I
know
that
that
will
be
reassuring
for
folks.
The
it's
I
mean
you
know
ultimately
like
there's
only
so
much
capacity.
I
know
that
it's
gonna
be
increasing,
but
if
we
have
you
know,
buildings
downtown
precincts
that
are
being
protected
like
there's
only
so
much
capacity,
and
so
I
appreciate
the
space
for
us
to
be
able
to
protect
our
community.
O
The
way
that
folks
are
asking
for,
so
that
they
feel
that
there
is
something
happening
like
that.
We
have
some
control
about.
You
know
like
the
like
the
commissioner
said
to
make
it
make
it
will
stop
only
make
it
stop.
So
so
thank
you
for
that
and
I
know
that
councilmembers
Ellison
is
also
in
queue.
So
he'll
also
probably
speak
to
some
of
the
issues
that
we're
having
over
here
as
well.
Thanks
Thank.
P
Yeah,
thank
you
guys
for
having
me
on
this.
Let
me
speak.
You
know.
I
just
want
to
I
appreciate
the
the
chief
sort
of
recognizing
that
people
are
gonna
be
out.
You
know,
I
know
that
we
prefer
people
to
stay
in,
for
the
curfew.
I'd
certainly
prefer
them
to
stay
in,
but
but
I
think
that
there's
so
that's
almost
beside
the
point
because
they
will
be
out
and
so
I
think
I
think
it
is
important
that
we
figure
out
how
how
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
they're
supported
and
that
there's
not
any
misunderstandings.
P
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
I'm
that
I
am
concerned
about
is
that
yesterday
we
got
you
know
we
got
a
lot
of
calls.
I
got
a
lot
of
calls
and
I'm
sure
customer
Cunningham
as
well
reporting
about
a
group
of
four
reportedly
white
men
who
are
running
around
starting
some
of
the
fires
over
North
I
can
tell
you
that
I
think
a
lot
of
North
Side
residents
would
be
happy
to
sort
of
I.
Think
people
are
gonna
resort
to
vigilantism.
P
You
know.
The
other
thing
I
want
to
say
is
that
you
know
the
Walgreens
over
North
was
was
was
partially
burned.
Olympic
Cafe
was
burned
to
the
ground
and
I
hope
that
those
those
two
locations
and
so
I
know
that
their
business
isn't
totally.
You
know
out
of
the
north
side
or
anything,
but
that,
but
to
lose
one
of
your
locations,
it's
gotta
be
significant,
I
hope
the
business
owner
reaches
out
to
me.
P
You
know:
I
was
on
site
with
friends
trying
to
help
put
out
the
fire
at
at
the
the
faith
factory,
formerly
known
as
mr.
afros
and
and
and
so
I
and
I
I
got
that
business,
Omer
owners
number
and
I
texted
him,
but
if
trade,
the
Barbara
or
if
anybody
who
knows
trade,
the
barber
I'm
telling
him
to
reach
out
to
me
and
let
him
know
that
his
council
member
is
committed
to
supporting
him
in
in
rebuilding.
P
You
know
I
I
again,
plan
to
plan
to
be
out
supporting
folks
who
plan
to
be
out
protecting
businesses
and
I,
encourage
all
of
us
to
have
a
plan
and
to
have
a
response,
because,
again
just
saying
people
have
to
stay
in
their
homes
or
they
got
to
stay
in
curfew,
I
get
it
that's
our
desire,
but
we've
just
got
to
have.
We've
got
to
have
more
of
a
response
than
that.
I
had
other
things,
I
wanted
to
say,
but
I'll
save
it
either
for
one-on-one
conversations
or
later
on
the
call.
So
thank
you.
J
J
We
are
reviewing
that,
where
we're
putting
that
through
our
collective
agencies
to
Tibet
that
information,
we,
we
certainly
are
aware,
as
mayor
indicated
earlier,
we
do
have
actors
bad
actors
in
our
city
who
are
trying
to
cause
harm,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
were
following
up
on
all
those
leads
to
make
sure
that
we
can
speak
out
those
individuals
and
prevent
them
if
their
attempts
are
to
try
to
do
anything
criminally
here
in
our
community.
So
I
just
want
to
know
that
we
are
following
up
on
those
thank.
P
D
You
know
people
were
able
to
go
back
for
second
trips.
It
was
just
open
all
night.
Without
you
know,
without
intervention
and
I
I,
don't
think
that
that's
something
that
was
communicated
and-
and
you
know,
I-
think
we're
gonna-
have
a
lot
of
time
to
go
back
and
look
at
where
those
the
right
decisions
or
the
wrong
decisions
or
like
how
did
that
work.
D
H
H
First
I'll
talk
about
the
precinct
there
is
this
inherent
tension
against
between
defending
a
precinct
on
the
one
hand
and
then
serving
the
community
in
the
other,
if
you're,
defending
a
precinct
that
is
being
attacked
in
some
form,
you're,
not
able
to
then
help
the
small
businesses
and
the
community
assets
that
are,
in
many
cases
being
looted
or
burned,
for
instance,
with
the
third
Precinct
a
couple
of
nights
ago,
I'm
having
trouble
keeping
track
of
the
nights.
At
this
point,
the
chief
and
and
I
discussed
well
ahead
of
time.
H
The
concept
of
reducing
the
footprint
at
this
particular
precinct
much
earlier
in
the
day,
and
we
did
exactly
that
to
D
symbolize
it
recognizing
that
the
third
had
become
quite
a
symbol,
at
least
in
some
of
the
more
initial
protests,
most
of
which
were
peaceful
moving
later
into
the
night.
With
again
a
lesser
capacity
there,
it
then
became
necessary
to
divert
a
strike
team
I
believe
it
was
to
the
first
precinct.
The
strike
team
was
one
of
the
entities
that
would
help
support
the
crew.
H
That
would
be
then
on
the
ground,
and
it
was
very
clear
that
the
situation
was
getting
worse.
It
was
getting
very
dangerous
both
for
the
public,
as
well
as
our
officers,
not
to
mention
we
were
having
great.
If
we,
we
were
less
able,
then
to
help
those
in
the
community,
because
we
would
have
had
to
centralize
additional
force
around
precinct
itself,
and
so
the
chief
and
I
made
made
the
decision
on
this.
H
One
and
I
realized
that
there
was
controversy
around
it,
but
I
am
confident
that
it
certainly
reduced
serious
injury
and,
potentially
far
more
so
that
is,
that
is
the
dynamic.
At
the
very
least,
with
the
with
the
precincts
that
we
were
seeing
now,
the
inherent
tension
is
a
result
of
the
lack
of
numbers
that
we
present
that
we
did
have
at
the
time.
Those
numbers
were
obviously
added
to
in
some
cases
more
significantly.
H
Last
night,
it
still
was
not
enough
and
we
saw
that
those
numbers
will,
as
you
know
now
be
added
to
significantly
again
I'll
pass
it
to
the
chief
to
answer
any
further
part
of
your
question:
councilmember
Fletcher,
I
apologize,
I.
Don't
actually
remember
the
second
part
of
the
question
that
you
had
asked,
but
perhaps
chief
Arredondo
does
yes.
J
Getting
that
911
response,
if
they're
calling
about
a
burglary
they're
getting
that,
unfortunately,
over
the
last
72
hours.
Obviously
our
system
has
been
overwhelmed
relating
to
the
the
arsons
and
the
other
major
significant
things.
So
so,
with
these
resources
that
we've
talked
about
today
from
the
state
that
is,
the
goal
is
to
really
place
them
throughout
our
city.
Our
main
corridors
we've
been
experiencing
problems
and
to
get
us
back
to
a
system
of
more
normal
911
response.
You
mentioned
about
the
rally
information
today.
What
I
can
say
today
is
that
the
numbers
who
have
wanting.
A
J
Participate
in
the
rally
today
have
a
have
a
rallying
point,
I
believe
Brian
Park
that
they
were
meeting
at,
but
the
RET
here
Ali
actually
starts
from
2
to
5,
which
is
underway
now,
and
he
has
been
identified
as
the
Kmart
parking
lot
at
Lake,
Street
and
Nick
would
have
himself
you
mentioned.
Is
there
any
marching?
Do
we
know
details
about
marching
that
I
really
don't
know?
J
Many
of
the
other
rallies
have
had
organic
other
types
of
or
other
groups
along
with
them,
and
so
sometimes
that's
just
very
organic
if
they
decide
where
to
March
what
locations
to
march
and
how
far
to
march,
but
at
least
for
right
now
scheduled
from
2:00
to
5:00.
Today,
we're
expecting
large
crowds
if
I
had
to
make
one
assumption.
J
I'm,
assuming
perhaps
three
days
in
Chicago,
might
be
a
destination
if
folks
were
to
begin
to
proceed
to
march,
but
because
of
those
a
large
number
of
people,
they're
expecting
I
know
that
the
Kmart
parking
lot
has
been
identified,
where
a
lot
of
those
folks
will
need,
and
so
I
apologize
to.
Our
also
numbers
I
have
to
break
away
just
for
a
minute,
but
I
can
certainly
come
back
on
the
call
in
just
a
few
minutes
and
and
see
if
you're
still
in
discussion
and
anything
I
can
help
answer.
J
D
You
know,
using
pepper
spray
or,
or
you
know
otherwise,
sort
of
in
flaming,
the
passions
of
the
crowds
and
contributing
to
escalation.
Certainly,
there's
been
some
video.
You
know
circulating
of
several
different
incidents
from
different
protests
and
different
precincts
and
I
guess
I'm,
just
wondering
I
as
as
critical
as
it
is
right
now
to
not
increase
tensions
and
to
not
provide
additional
fuel
for
people's
anger.
How
are
we
maintaining
discipline
in
this
unified
command
structure
and
in
this
moment,
and
are
we
able
to
pull
people
off
the
line?
D
J
Cutler
Fletcher,
your
question
absolutely
so
very
important.
The
last
thing
that
I
want
any
of
our
numbers
to
do
is
to
Ratana
ties,
people
who
are
who
are
really
grieving
and
in
pain
right
now.
So
two
things
we
have
the
the
directives
and
really
the
mandate
moving
forward.
That
should
always
be
is
we
are
acting
procedurally,
just
that
doesn't
change
because
of
any
unified
command
system
or
not.
J
So
all
of
the
the
command
folks
are
making
sure
that
if
they
have
officers
assigned
to
lines
or
signed
outside
of
barricades
that
even
if
they
have
to
resort
to
using
some
sort
of
names
for
those
types
of
things,
we
have
policies
and
how
to
do
that,
we
should
not
have,
and
when
I
get
these
complaints
where
they're
looking
into,
we
should
not
have
officers
just
indiscriminately
spring
mates.
We
still
have
a
complaint
system
for
that,
and
it
needs
to
be
address.
That
is
also
being
addressed.
J
Obviously,
at
the
precinct
levels
as
well,
but
I
absolutely
agree
with
you
that
should
not
be
occurring
and
if
it
is
supervisors
again,
supervisors
are
the
first
folks
to
to
to
really
be
given
the
guidance
to
our
officers.
That
should
not
be
occurring
and
and
if
it
does,
we
need
to
hear
about
it
and
but
we're
also
from
the
top
down
making
sure
that
we're
we're
stressing
that
message.
G
You
chief,
just
I,
want
to
follow
up
on
councilmember
Fletcher's
question:
there's
they
are
numerous
instances
of
police,
escalating
situations
on
Twitter
and
on
social
media,
and
it's
this
isn't
so
much
a
question
just
know
that
it
would
be
very,
very
helpful
and
helpful
'he's
such
an
understatement
that
those
officers
that
have
done
that
need
to
be
disciplined,
and
we
need
to
hear
about
that.
This
is
just
intolerable
right
now,.
J
J
You
do
not
wear
this
uniform
on
Monday,
because
you
go
home
on
Tuesday,
get
to
go
on
a
social
media
platform
and
say
things
that
would
be
harmful,
that
you
will
never
say,
while
on
duty,
I've
disciplined
officers
for
that.
We
will
not
tolerate
that
and
so
I'm
very
clear
about
that.
We
do
have
a
social
media
policy.
So
if
that
certainly
gets
brought
to
our
attention,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
that
goes
through
its
process.
So
we
have
to
hold
our
folks
accountable.
So
again
we
have
to
be
professional.
G
Thank
You,
chief
and
just
just
default:
that's
not
actually
what
I
meant
I
meant
done
on
Twitter,
there's
documentation
of
Minneapolis
police
officers
just
indiscriminately
spraying
protesters
and
aggravating
it
and
from
those
videos
you'll
be
able
to
see
the
squad
number
you'll
seem
to
where
they're
at
and
about
the
time
stamp.
I
would
like.
You
know,
I
think
all
of
us
want
to
make
sure
that
those
officers
are
disciplined
and
that
issue
is
addressed.
H
J
Q
Thank
you
very
much
council
member
Johnson
chief
I
have
two
questions
and
first
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
everything.
You
and
your
team
are
doing,
and
I
realize
you're,
exhausted
and
I.
Don't
actually
really
want
to
ask
you
any
hard
questions,
but
practical
ones,
I'm
getting
reports
from
constituents
who
are
not
used
to
being
in
this.
You
know
38th
and
or
Lake
Street
zone
that
they
would
like
to
help
board
up
buildings,
but
they
don't
know
how
to
do
it.
Q
We
had
some
constituents
telling
me
that
they
went
to
the
Walgreens
to
help
clean
up
and
there
were
looters
still
in
there
this
morning
at
10:00
this
morning
and
no
signs
of
any
law
enforcement.
What
should
I
tell
them
should
I
tell
them,
they
have
to
go,
buy
plywood
and
of
Menards
somewhere
out
in
the
suburbs
and
board
a
Walgreens
themselves,
and
what
do
I
tell
them
about
how
to
handle
looters
that
are
in
a
building
if
they're
going
out
of
their
way
to
board
a
building?
That's
my
first
question.
Q
Council
member
Johnson,
since
so
many
of
you
have
experience
with
this
as
well.
Maybe
someone
could
just
privately
text
me
and
let
me
know
how
I
should
advise
my
constituents,
since
no
one
else's
on
the
call
I
just
feel
like
I'm
being
left
in
a
situation
where
we
don't
really
have
a
good
response
for
what
how
we,
if
we
hear
or
see
things,
can
get
that
information.
I
didn't
hear
anyone
say
we're
setting
up
someone
you
can
talk
to
that.
Will
get
information
to
incident
command
about
crimes
happening
at
the
moment.
Remember.
H
Q
My
this
this
morning,
at
10:00
in
the
morning
when
constituents
went
out
to
try
to
clean
up
the
Hennepin
Avenue
at
27th,
there
were
still
looters
and
who
all
greens
and
they
were
scared,
because
here
they
were
trying
to
clean
things
up,
but
people
were
in
the
process
of
taking
things
out
of
the
walgreens
and
Walgreens,
apparently
is
a
band
in
these
buildings,
and
so
are
they
supposed
to
board
them
up
themselves?
Our
neighbors
supposed
to
board
the
buildings
up.
That's
my
first
question
and
I
know
more
than
I
have
experience
in
this
regard.
H
Q
H
B
Hi,
its
I'm
back
I,
I'm,
sorry
to
jump
in
like
this
with
an
interruption
but
I
the
call
that
we
just
had
ended
up
being
lieutenant
governor
and
council.
Vice
president
IRB
joining
the
call.
B
This
was
a
topic
that
we
just
talked
about
was
the
urgent
need
to
establish
lines
of
communication,
both
regular
lines
of
communication,
with
leadership
from
City
Council,
along
with
the
mayor's
office,
as
well
as
our
legislative
delegation,
and
to
help
us
streamline
our
communications.
As
you
can
imagine,
the
lieutenant
governor
and
governor
aren't
able
to
personally
answer
texts
from
all
of
us,
nor
should
we
be
directing
trying
to
all
individually
direct
the
fire
department
to
the
National
Guard.
B
It's
just
that
just
doesn't
work,
of
course,
so
that
needs
to
establish
a
clear
line
of
communication
from
those
of
us
who
are
on
the
ground
in
our
communities
through
incident
command
and
to
get
responses
back
to
our
constituents
is
an
identified
need
and
the
lieutenant
governor's
staff
are
following
up
now.
After
our
just
the
call
we
just
had
on
how
exactly
that
will
flow
for
tonight.
H
You
know
the
fire
chief
or
the
police
chief
end
or
to
someone
at
the
state
or
National
Guard.
If
that
individual
is
not
Heidi
tonight,
she
can
then
connect
you
up
with
the
person
that
is
actually
there.
So
again,
there
may
be
a
more
efficient
way
to
do
this,
but
but
until
we
hear
otherwise
from
the
state,
let's
proceed
that
way.
Okay,.
Q
Mayor
fry,
thank
you,
I
just
want
to
know
what
to
do.
I,
don't
need
to
plan
this
process.
I
thankful
that
you're
looking
into
it
and
I
did
get
an
answer
from
councilmember
Cunningham
about
how
to
handle
the
board
ups.
The
answer
is:
it
breaks
my
heart
that
we're
asking
the
public
to
spend
their
money
to
go
out
and
save
these
buildings.
H
I
agree,
the
question
whips
are
was
is
to
the
the
board.
The
boarding
of
the
buildings
I
mean
it
is
I
know
that
is
that
is
there
are
those
are
precautions
that
are
being
taken
in
several
areas,
I'm
not
going
to
recommend
against
it.
I
will
certainly
check
in
with
some
of
the
other
individuals
involved
on
the
police
to
check
in
their
thoughts
as
well.
We
can
get
back
to
you.
Thank.
F
K
K
But
we
do
differentiate
between
the
folks
who
are
out
there
peacefully,
protesting
and
rightfully
protesting
because
of
what
happened
and
I
know
that
many
of
us
on
the
council
are
already
in
heavy
discussions
about
the
accountability
systems
and
the
budgeting
and
the
things
that
we're
going
to
address
when
it
is
due
time.
I
think
that
we
have
all
seen
each
other
be
a
dragged
into
a
different
space
because
of
the
the
deep
I.
K
And
so
I
do
want
to
say
that
that
is
a
very
nuanced,
difficult
and
indeed
challenged
for
I.
Think
our
police
force
to
respond
to
because
there's
so
many
moving
pieces
and
I
know
we're
striving
to
make
sure
that
our
police
response
is
respectful
and
and
it
is
honoring
the
the
peace
that
is
going
on.
K
In
our
community,
through
protest
and
through
action,
but
there's
another
layer
to
this,
that
is
not
under
our
control,
which
is
the
action
of
those
white
supremacists
who
are
dead,
set
on
burning
down
every
Latino
black
indigenous
institution
on
Lake
streets.
They
specifically
targeted
division
of
Indian
work.
I,
don't
know
anybody
in
my
community
that
would
want
to
burn
that
institution
down.
I,
don't
know
anyone!
That's
for
police
reform
in
Ward
9
that
would
get
out
there
and
try
to
burn
down
that
building,
which
culturally
historically
represents
the
roots
of
this
country.
K
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
soberly
talking
about
that
piece,
that
uncontrollable
piece
that
we're
not
able
to
get
our
hands
around
and
to
think
about
ways
that
we're
going
to
have
to
mitigate
and
and
come
head-on
with
that
today
and
tonight,
and
into
the
dawn,
because
that's
when
the
fires
start
and
they
go
deep
and
they
stay
there
until
the
Sun
of
the
Sun
rises.
So
to
my
colleagues
just
know
that
many
of
us
are
grappling
with
that
serious
nature.
Many
of
us
are
trying
to
figure
out.
K
How
do
we
engage
a
police
response
to
try
to
mitigate
some
of
the
uncontrollable
pieces
at
the
same
time
acknowledging
that
these
are
not
the
protesters
that
our
community
has
raised?
These
are
people
who
are
coming
from
the
outside
who
want
to
create
chaos
who
want
to
create
instability
and
who
want
to
damage
communities
color
long-term.
K
So
just
please
keep
that
in
mind,
as
you
think
about
your
reactions
and
what
you're
going
to
do
today
as
we
see
how
things
play
out,
starting
with
a
2
p.m.
protest
which
already
is
filling
the
streets
on
Lake
Street,
there's
already
tons
of
cars
all
over
the
place.
There's
already
some
very
dangerous
driving
I
almost
got
hit,
I'm
sorry
I'm
in
my
car,
and
so
it's
it's
it's
going
to
be
a
long
day.
It's
going
to
be
a
long
night!
Thank
you.
B
Thank
You
councilman
Burke,
no
I
I,
don't
see
any
other
councilmembers
in
queue
and
I.
Just
I
I'm
rejoining
the
meeting
after
the
pause
of
being
away.
So
I
may,
or
were
there
more
department
heads
to
present
or
would
you
like
to
respond
to
anything
cause?
We're
kind
of
just
just
commented
on
sure.
H
Thank
you,
madam
president,
council
member
kind
of
kells
member
kinda
I,
hear
you
entirely
and
agree,
and
I
I
recognize
what
a
difficult
needle
that
is
to
thread
at
times,
but
holding
those
spaces
I
understand
how
important
that
is
to
community
and
and
secondly,
you
wreck
it
you,
you
mentioned
the
nature
of
those
that
are
riding
the
nature
of
those
that
are
burning
down:
black
and
indigenous
and
Latino
businesses
and
you're
right.
This
is
clearly
an
element
that
is,
is
NaN
many
a
Politan.
H
N
H
B
Mayor
can
I,
ask
him.
I've
told
you
that
this
has
been
covered.
Just
let
me
know,
but
could
you
talk
about
the
fire
capacity
and
what
any
requests
that
have
been
made
to
you
know
other
jurisdictions
or
support
we
might
be
able
to
ask
for
our
fire
department,
as
they
I
mean
they've,
been
obviously
stretched
too
thin.
That's.
N
H
N
President
bender
members,
the
council,
this
is
mark
rough
city
coordinator.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
and
thank
you
for
this
council
meeting.
Lunch
and
I'm
gonna
cover
a
few
items
and
because
the
fire
chief
has
gone
and
been
on
most
of
the
evening,
I
was
able
to
give
him
a
relief
from
presentation
today,
but
I
was
briefed
by
him
and
chief
Tyner
on
specifically
the
fire
issues.
As
you
know,
we've
had
successive
nights
of
significant
structural
fires.
The
first
night
was
around
16
following
night
19.
N
The
final
count
hasn't
been
accumulated
for
last
night,
but
it
was
something
in
the
range
of
those
two
numbers
and
with
obviously
significant
structures.
The
chief
has
utilized
mutual
aid
and
the
first
night,
especially
to
utilize
mutual
aid,
call
from
st.
Paul,
but
then
obviously,
st.
Paul
had
their
own
issues
the
following
night
and
then
the
problem
is
has
been
outlined
previously
in
successive
nights
was
getting
enough
security
for
their
for
their
different
task
force.
N
What
the
fire
department
does
in
this
case
is
breaks
into
task
force
of
two
engines
in
a
truck
led
by
a
chief,
and
they
have
multiple
task
force
that
are
working.
They
have
not
had
sufficient
security
at
times.
I
can
tell
you
from
personal
experience.
I've
written
in
the
Chiefs
vehicle,
as
commissioner
Harrington
mentioned,
chief,
has
lost
all
of
his
windows
from
rocks
being
thrown
at
firefighters
as
I
understand
it.
N
There
have
been
times
where
some
of
the
people
we've
been
highlighting,
who
are
intent
on
destruction,
have
tried
to
trap
fire
trucks
in
side,
alleys
and
side
streets
and
the
fire
department
has
said,
be
creative
about
moving
away
from
those
situations,
while
at
the
same
time
addressing
the
fires
given
the
nature
of
these
fires
and
how
quickly
they
spread
in
the
type
of
buildings.
These
are
mostly
defensive
types
of
activities
where
they're
trying
to
just
bring
the
fire
down,
keep
it
from
spreading
as
much
as
possible
and
have
not
been
entering
buildings.
N
For
the
most
part.
The
chief
is
confident
in
the
plan
that
they
have
tonight
for
National
Guard
coverage
of
their
various
Italians
that
they
are
working
through
and
they,
as
I
was
alluded
by
council
member
earlier,
are
still
able
to
respond
without
security
for
those
areas
which
are
not
threatening,
but
the
fire
fighters
have
been
subject.
A
variety
of
things
being
thrown
at
them
rocks
bricks,
bottles
of
beer.
N
It
is
at
times
very
dangerous
and
there
have
been
minor
injuries,
but
thankfully,
no
major
injuries
with
firefighters
at
this
time,
but
the
fire
department,
I,
think
is,
has
performed
as
well,
if
not
above
the
expectations,
as
could
be
expected
in
this
particular
situation.
At
times,
fires
of
East
being
set
a
half
a
block
up
from
the
previous
one,
just
as
a
way
of
of
confusing
and
overwhelming
the
the
fire
department,
but
I
know
it
was
mentioned
earlier
that
the
National
Guard
is
also
bringing
resources.
I
I
I
H
Madame
president
council,
vice
president
I
agree,
I've
noted
that
several
of
our
community
based
institutions
that
are
so
vital,
especially
during
a
time
event
pandemic,
have
been
overrun
in
some
form
making
necessary
that
we're
finding
replacements
all
the
more
important
I've,
seen
really
amazing.
Community-Led
strategies
that
have
at
times
been
set
up
in
North
Minneapolis
I
mean
really
beautiful.
O
H
Supplies
in
some
forms
has
been
has
been
pretty
cool
to
to
witness,
but
you
know,
council
vice
president,
why
don't
we
touch
base,
or
you
touch
bases
my
office,
then
here
and
we
can.
We
can
figure
out
a
plan.
I
know
that
where
we
are
already
in
touch
with
several
of
the
nonprofits
around
the
issue
of
food
insecurity,
which
has
become
all
the
more
real.
M
Thank
you
very
much
and
I
have
a
lot
that
I
could
say
about
these.
Did
the
devastation
that's
been
going
on
in
the
city,
these
last
nights,
I
really
appreciate
that
we're
getting
together
and
that
we're
putting
a
priority
on
I'm
working
towards
calm
and
getting
order
and
security
back
and
appreciate
all
the
efforts
of
all
our
staff
and
all
of
you
to
do
that.
M
That's
successfully,
working
and
and
noting
those
and
helping
the
state
troopers
the
National
Guard,
and
that
central
entity
note
that
as
a
critical
and
essential
thing
to
preserve
and
protect
in
the
community,
we
have
definitely
got
lots
of
community
members
and
my
part
of
town
who
are
helping
and
support
the
grocers
and
the
grocery
stores
that
are
still
operating
and
they
want
to
make
sure
they
stay
safe
and
they
stay
open
because
they
are
key
and
essential.
Some
areas
we're
down
to
one
very
limited
number,
and
so
people
are
working
to
preserve
those.
B
So
I
do
you
know
Marin
and,
and
she,
if
I
think
a
particular,
but
I
think
this
is
maybe
for
all
of
us
and
myself
included.
I
I
we've
talked
for
almost
two
hours
about
the
safety
concerns
and
the
immediate
needs
to
control
the
fires
and
protect
our
community.
But
I
also
feel
that
because
in
part
because
we're
in
a
pandemic
and
do
not
have
our
normal,
you
know
our
City
Council
meeting
at
City
Hall
and
our
normal
venues
of
communication.
B
You
know
our
ability
to
respond
to
our
community's
requests
for
response
to
George
fluids,
murder
and
our
next
steps
on.
You
know
our
city's
response
to
acknowledge
that,
after
all
years
of
work
on
reform
for
our
department,
this
horrible
event
happened
and
I
think
that
we
all
need
to
come
together
very
quickly
and
make
some
clear
next
steps
for
both
here
and
directly
from
our
community.
I
know
that
council,
members
and
I'm
sure
you
know
many
in
our.
B
K
K
Thank
you.
Sorry,
man
you're
fried
just
I'm,
using
my
phone
to
participate.
So
it's
hard
to
see.
What's
there
on
the
screen,
so
I
have
one
question
about
response.
The
global
market
has
a
lot
of
residents
that
live
on
the
top
portion
of
it
and
I'm
curious.
What's
the
best
way
for
me
to
work
with
you
on
this
in
case
that
sometimes
throughout
the
day
or
the
night,
we
have
to
help
them
evacuate.
H
The
suggestion
that
I
had
given
prior
is
connect
with,
with
probably
first
Heidi
I'm,
going
to
add
someone
stationed
over
at
the
EOC.
That
is
able
to
compile
the
list,
provide
them
to
either
me
or
the
chief
and/or.
Further
up
an
incident
command
council
president
had
mentioned
that
that
the
perhaps
the
Lieutenant
Governor
was
working
on
a
system
as
well
as
communication,
if
that
is
a
better
system,
we're
trying
to
use
that,
but
but
for
now
before
we
have
an
answer
on
that
list,
let's,
let's
go
through
us.
K
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
and
I'm
serious
does
anyone
might
does
anyone
know
whether
or
not
the
interim
or
information
about
the
telephone
coverage
being
cut
at
4:00
p.m.
is
that
true
that
the
National
Guard
is
planning
to
cut
cell
phone
coverage
or
satellite
access,
starting
at
4:00
p.m.
K
I
Yeah
and
thank
you,
I
was
just
looking
for
an
email
but
I
think
I
had
an
email
that
says
that
there
have
been
about
50,000
residents
who
have
signed
a
petition
for
declaring
racism,
a
public
health
crisis,
and
so
I
hope
that
my
colleagues
can
support
that
resolution.
I
think
it
opens
the
door
for
us
to
began
to
create
policies
that
can
move
us
forward,
addressing
the
systemic
issues
that
have
led
to
this
day.
I
Sort
of
like
a
Marshall
Plan
to
rebuild
our
communities
that
keeps
our
communities
intact.
That
does
not
displace
our
by
pot
communities
from
throughout
Minneapolis
and
st.
Paul.
The
lieutenant
governor
agreed
to
that.
However,
I
know
for
a
fact
that
this
will
be
a
major
battle.
We
cannot
have
25
years
of
no
investment
like
the
last
riots
that
destroyed
Minneapolis
and
cities,
all
the
country
that
that
has
to
be
unacceptable
and-
and
it's
gonna
be
in
coming
all
of
us
to
make
sure
that
that
happens.
O
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank
You
council
vice-president,
for
those
words
and
those
next
steps,
I
think
that
that's
really
critical
and
I
greatly
appreciate
your
leadership,
advocating
for
intentional
equitable
recovery
and
focus
on
BiPAP
communities
to
make
sure
that
our
city
stays
as
culturally
thriving,
and
we
can
actually
get
to
some
of
the
roots
of
these
disparities
in
the
process
of
recovery.
I.
O
Thank
you,
madam
president,
for
really
arean
curring
us
in
the
reality
that
the
reason
why
we
are
in
this
situation,
this
crisis
in
the
first
place,
is
because
of
behavior
related
to
our
Police
Department
and,
and
so
when
we
think
about
what
next
steps
are
when
we
think
about
how
do
we
hold
folks,
accountable
and
so
on
and
so
forth?
What
we
have
seen
is
across
the
country
that
reform
after
reform
effort
has
not
produced
very
clear
cultural
change
within
policing
institutions.
O
Anti-Bias
training
has
not
demonstrated
it
procedural
justice
has
not,
so
we
can
go
down
the
list
of
the
all
of
the
various
aspects
of
even
21st
century
policing,
which
was
a
which
was
a
part
of
President
Obama's
administration.
Those
efforts
have
really
not
panned
out
to
substantive
change.
There's
no
there's,
no
real
data
behind
that.
That's
showing
that
those
are
the
case.
O
I
think
that
it's
important
for
us
as
a
city
as
we
look
forward
to
start
having
real
conversations
and
real
energy
and
political
will
around
what
does
building
alternative
systems
to
public
safety
outside
of
policing.
What
does
that
look
like?
We
have
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
We
have
you
know
these
other
emerging
systems,
but
they
are
seen
as
secondary.
What
does
it
look
like
for
us
to
prioritize
these
systems
of
safety
that
are
outside
of
policing
and
sometimes
in
some
cases,
working
alongside
police,
but
really?
O
What
are
we
doing
around
being
able
to
support
mental
health
crises?
What
are
we
doing
to
help
focus
on
opioid
responses?
I
have
heard
time
and
time
again
from
officers
themselves
that
they
are
not
the
best
equipped
to
be
able
to
handle
those
situations,
and
so
what
are
we
doing
to
actually
build
these
alternative
systems?
O
And
so
every
year,
there's
a
big
battle
with
the
budget
around
the
police
budget,
because
that's
pretty
much
one
of
our
only
levers
at
City
Council
to
be
able
to
try
to
push
for
some
change
and
I'm
asking
for
us
to
start
to
have
that
same
sort
of
energy
behind
building
the
alternative
systems
of
Public
Safety,
because
those
have
been
demonstrated
to
work.
Those
have
evidence
behind
them.
O
The
public
health
approach
to
public
safety
works,
and
so
that
is
a
next
step
that
I'm
asking
for
you
all
to
please
take
into
consideration,
is
getting
more
behind
it,
creating
it
putting
some
money
towards.
It
is
one
step
but
having
to
fight
as
hard
as
I
did
to
get
$50,000
in
the
budget
for
domestic
violence
and
an
evidence-based
domestic
violence.
Intervention
system
that
utilizes
that
public
health
approach
to
public
safety
when
911
calls
the
number
one
reason
for
911
initiated
police
service
across
its
entire
city
is
domestic
violence.
O
We
need
to
also
have
a
paradigm
shift
as
a
City
Council
around.
What
is
the
what
are
the
best
ways
for
us
to
be
able
to
sustainably
interrupt
cycles
of
violence
in
our
community
and
violence
within
families?
So
so
to
your
question,
madam
president,
that
was
that's
my
request
for
council
members
is
to
think
about.
How
are
we
concretely
building
alternative
systems
of
Community
Safety
outside
of
policing?
Thank
you.
Thank.
M
Thank
you
and
I
appreciate
you
bringing
this
up,
and
obviously
it's
a
much
deeper
and
longer
discussion
that
we
could
and
should,
dwell
on
and
get
to
soon,
maybe
I'm,
especially
after
we
get
through
the
weekend
and
things
calm
down
a
little
bit.
I
am
very
supportive
and
appreciate
my
colleagues
for
what
they
talked
about
in
their
ideas
in
terms
of
this
some,
the
emergency
declaration
that
we
would
be
we
are
in
and
have
been
for
a
long
time
dealing
with
the
institutional
structural
racism
also
very
interested
in
building
up
violence
prevention
efforts.
M
Looking
at
some
of
these
problems
more
holistically
through
the
health
lens,
I
think,
probably
so,
really
transform
and
structurally
change.
The
way
we
do.
Public
Safety
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
is
going
to
take
community
engagement
and
the
solutions
should
grow
from
the
grass
roots
so
to
speak
up
and
not
necessarily
be
figured
out
by
us
in
a
room
or
individually
and
coming
up
with
it.
M
But
I
also
think
that
we've
got
some
tools
and
things
that
are
going
on
right
now
and
if
we
don't
use
those
and
and
use
our
skills
and
efforts
to
try
to
impact
them,
we
will
really
miss
an
opportunity.
We
are
right
now
in
the
middle
of
negotiations
with
the
Police
Federation.
This
is
an
opportunity.
Why
don't
we
use
it
to
dramatically
demand
a
better
labor
agreement
without
and
put
major
concessions
in
there?
That
could
really
help
us,
maybe
even
recent
push
to
a
new
union.
We
also
have
ordinances.
M
Why
don't
we
look
at
what
we've
done?
Obviously
our
police
conduct
oversight
ordinance
has
failed
us.
Maybe
we
need
to
look
at
that.
Maybe
we
need
to
have
a
code
of
conduct
ordinance
that
now
will
apply
to
all
city
employees
so
that
we
can
really
have
a
professional
staff
and
city
employees
all
working
on
the
same
page
instead
of
some
departments
of
the
sidelines
and,
as
you
know
and
others
probably
know,
I
also
see
the
Charter
as
our
founding
document
and
in
the
Charter.
M
We
have
embedded
some
things
in
there
that
make
it
very,
very,
very
difficult
for
us
as
a
council
and
for
us
as
a
democracy,
to
impact
policy
having
to
do
with
the
police
department.
Well,
maybe
it's
time
for
a
new
HRT
department.
I
think
that
the
progress
we've
made
on
moving
our
violence
prevention
up
is
really
significant.
Maybe
we
should
imagine
a
new
department
and
put
it
in
the
Charter
that
will
help
us
guide
this
I
don't
know,
and
of
course
we
have
the
budget
discussions
that
are
coming.
Maybe
there's
some
things.
M
We
expect
the
police
to
do
and
work
they're
doing.
The
other
departments
could
do
better,
and
maybe
it's
time
we
start
looking
at
how
we
can
we
can
do
that
to
change
some
of
that
work.
Those
are
just
some
ideas.
I
want
more
ideas
on
the
table
and
I.
Hopefully
we
can
get
to
work
on
making
changes
soon,
starting
next
week
when
we
meet
again
and
we
can
get
these
things
on
our
agenda
and
get
moving
forward
thanks
for
giving
me
a
little
time
for
it.
Thank.
I
Thank
you
again,
madam
president,
and
just
have
a
question
for
everybody
who
are
for
anybody
who
may
know.
As
you
all
know,
we
we
received
a
essentially
a
demand
from
the
black
business
collective
and
the
reclaim
the
block
demanding
that
we
sign
a
pledge
related
to
many
of
the
things
that
customer
Cunningham
and
becomes
when
of
Gordon
just
spoke
about
I'm
curious
is
that
is
that
the
man
that
they
are
asking
for
by.
I
I
M
B
K
K
That
will
be
coming
up
here
at
the
end
of
June,
and
that
is
the
amended
budget,
and
we
will
have
another
opportunity
to
sort
of
strengthen
the
direction
of
that
of
that
value
later
in
the
year.
As
we
look
at
next
year's
budget,
I'll,
add
that
I
I've
personally
been
really
hopeful
in
conversations
with
you
all
about
what
it
would
look
like
to
break
the
bones
of
our
current
department
and
system
and
build
an
entirely
different
system
with
our
chief,
something
that
he
can
really
help
put
together.
K
Instead
of
always
trying
to
carry
the
weight
of
the
legacies
of
white
supremacy
that
have
instituted
and
established
policing
systems
throughout
their
country
for
generations.
And
so
the
idea
of
having
immune
system
rise
from
these
ashes,
in
collaboration
with
the
the
folks
who
are
part
of
the
city
who
we
know
align
with
our
values,
who
have
been
trying
to
hammer
away
at
these
concrete
walls
and
are
not
getting
through.
I.
Think
that
this
is
certainly
an
opportunity
for
all
of
us
to
push
the
imagination
to
challenge
ourselves
in
different
ways.
K
K
Don't
believe
our
police
officers
are
comfortable
with
what's
happening,
I,
don't
believe
our
community
and
our
chief
and
their
leadership,
and
none
of
us
are
comfortable
with
the
systems
and
how
it's
happening
so
I
do
think
this
is
a
new
opportunity
to
bring
more
people
together
and
move
in
the
direction
to
community
heal
and
insistence
heal
by
addressing
our
policing
systems.
At
the
same
time,
I
want
to
encourage
us
to
remember
that
we
have
to
start
working
on
the
recovery
efforts.
K
While
we
have
not
certainly
come
in
to
any
sort
of
conclusion
to
the
events
that
we
will
see
tonight
and
tomorrow
and
so
forth,
it
is
important
that
we
begin
to
create
those
tables
of
process
and
decision-making
and
timelines
to
make
sure
that
we
respond
to
everybody
in
the
city
that
has
been
impacted
by
this
event
and
I
know
that
we
have
again
a
few
dates
that
are
coming
up
that
are
important
for
us
to
organize
around
June,
11th
and
June.
12Th
are
likely
at
a
time
when
the
state
will
call
the
special
session.
K
We
know
there's
Care
Act
funding
that
will
be
distributed
to
cities
at
that
time.
So
we
have
to
make
sure
that
our
IG
on
our
team
is
on
their
P's
and
Q's
to
make
sure
that
their
tap
and
center
in
the
instance
in
the
halls
of
the
state
capital,
looking
for
not
only
Kovan
19
support
but
also
recovery
efforts
dealing
with
this
policing
abuse
and
police
brutality
issue,
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
all
supportive
of
that
and
thinking
about
that
and
making
sure
that
our
staff
are
coming
together
on
that.
K
We
also
I
know
when
I've
been
chatting
with
councilmember
Fletcher
will
also
express
deep
interest
in
new
collaborations
and
deep
into
the
elaborations,
with
the
county
on
recovery,
recovering
mechanisms,
as
well
as
new
community
safety,
beyond
policing
measures
and
programs
and
initiatives,
and
so
that's
a
conversation
that
I
know
is
likely
right
and
and
plenty
of
space
for
people
to
take
leadership
in
that
and
then
lastly,
our
federal
government.
We
will
need
to
ask
them
for
support.
K
We
will
need
to
be
able
to
lean
on
them
and
I
know
that
allies
across
the
country
have
been
reaching
out
to
me.
Saying
consider
learning
about
the
recovery
efforts
after
the
LA
riots.
Consider
learning
about
the
recovery
efforts
after
Ferguson
learn
what
works
best,
learn
within
work
and
then
embed
that
into
your
thinking
into
your
framework.
So
we
know
there's
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done.
Council,
members
and
I
hope
that
we
can
lean
on
it
on
each
other,
frequently
and
often
and
in
the
most
difficult
times
and
in
the
happiest
of
time.
J
P
P
You
know
the
the
mayor's
response
might
have
just
been
because
he's
not
sure,
but
it
did
sound
vague
enough
to
maybe
like
that
there
that
maybe
where
there
was
some
legitimacy
to
it,
either
way.
We
need
to
know
because,
if
because
it's
because,
if
we're
gonna
try
to
cut
cell
service,
I,
think
council
members
need
to
be
able
to
know
that.
So
we
can
know
just
how
bad
the
situation
is.
P
Gonna
get
tonight,
I
think
if
we
do
that,
we're
probably
gonna
I
think
we're
definitely
going
to
experience
the
worst
night
of
our
of
our
lives,
which
is
saying
a
lot
considering
the
past
week.
So
I
hope,
if
anybody's
making
those
decisions,
and
they
think
that
that
is
gonna
work
in
an
American
city
where,
where
people
are
used
to
communicating
with
each
other
man,
I
just
got
to
say
that
is
that
is
insane.
P
You
know
the
the
and
so
I
hope
someone
could
address
that
to
the
public
and
I
hope
we
could
get
some
answers
to
that,
because
that
would
that
would
really
clarify
how
much
of
a
mess
we'll
be
dealing
with
if
people
can
communicate
with
each
other
I
think
that
that'll
I
think
that
that'll
be
manageable.
If
they
can't
I,
think
that
would
be
a
huge
mistake.
P
It's
going
to
make
them
feel
kind
of
attacked,
I'm
really
concerned.
When
I
hear
people
say
that
this
will
end
when
we
ended
I,
think
yeah.
The
city
has
proven
that
this
will
end
when
the
people
are
ready
to
end
it
and,
and
we
I
think
it
could
make
decisions
that
that
don't
even
flame
this
and
I'm
really
concerned.
When
I'm
hearing
that
you
know
there.
There
are
those
of
us
that
think
this
is
a
matter
of
simple
math.
We
have
tried
from
step
one.
P
You
had.
We
have
there's
video
on
Twitter
of
people
marching
from
38
to
the
precinct
being
sprayed
indiscriminately,
with
mace
by
our
employees,
unprovoked
being
sprayed
unprovoked
by
our
employees.
I
think
this
mindset
that
all
we've
got
to
do
is
get
enough
horse.
Get
enough
guns.
Tighten
the
grip
enough
to
get
hold
of.
This
has
proven
night
after
night
to
be
not
only
a
bad
strategy
but
an
unmitigated
disaster.
P
You
know.
Does
that
mean
that
we
tell
everybody
all
of
our
law
enforcement
to
just
pack
it
up
and
go
home?
No,
but
there's
got
to
be
something
between
force
which
isn't
working
and
nothing
is
there?
Is
there
no
strategy
between
that
I?
You
know
as
I
hear
that
I'm
really
concerned,
and
and
and
as
I
hear
that
instead
of
thinking
that
we're
gonna
eventually
get
a
hold
of
this
thing,
I'm
thinking
you
know
we
we
continue
to
aggressively
misunderstand
the
situation
and
I
think
that
we
can
get.
P
B
B
B
I
mean
I
do
I.
Do
just
want
to
note
that
this
question
of
next
steps
for
MPD
is
really
important
for
our
chief
of
police
and
mayor
to
continue
to
work
on
with
us.
As
customer
Gordon
noted,
the
council
has
very
limited
authority
over
the
MPD
per
our
Charter.
There
was
an
attempt
to
amend
our
Charter.
You
know
that
many
of
us
supported
and
it
did
not
have
the
support
to
go
forward.
If
giving
the
council
isn't
more
Authority,
isn't
the
preferred
solution
we
need.
We
need
to
find
one
because
I,
just
like.
B
Oh
what
I've
heard
from
so
many
of
you
and
I
think
what
we're
doing
right
now.
Well,
you
know
our
meeting
has
gone
wrong
is
voicing
some
of
what
we're
hearing
from
our
constituents
and
community
and
in
this
virtual
environment,
where
we're
not
in
City
Hall,
where
we
would
almost
certainly
have
been
surrounded
by
our
community
in
protest.
These
are
important
things
to
voice
and
have
centered
in
these
conversations,
which
are
at
the
root
of
why
we've
gotten
here.
I
do
know
that
customer
front
is
also
working
together.
B
The
questions
about
self-service
and
I
see
many
customer
asking
that
so
I'll
just
acknowledge
that
council
member
Johnson
and
is
a
Qi
know
also.
Customers
need
to
have
other
meetings
and
things
that
we
do
need
to
ratify.
We
do
need
to
move
to
the
item
tour
to
ratify
the
emergency
declaration
and
the
emergency
regulation,
so
it
all
just
recognize
council,
member
Johnson
and
then
perhaps
the
best
item.
Thank.
F
You,
madam
president,
I
know
communications
been
talked
about,
but
I
was
wondering
if
mr.
Roffe
is
on
the
line
and
if
he's
able
to
share
details
around
really
having
unified
and
supportive
communication
strategies
for
council
members
here,
I
think
everyone's
kind
of
doing
their
own
thing
at
this
point
in
putting
out
details
as
they
have
them,
and
meanwhile
trying
to
respond
to
all
these
very
important,
specific
constituent
issues
and
I
see
that
as
being
really
a
driving
force
for
a
lot
of
the
fear
and
concern
out
there
a
feeling
like
it's,
not
it's
not
there.
F
N
Sure,
council,
president
bender
and
council
member
Johnson,
this
is
mark
rough
city
coordinator
again,
I
I
understand
your
concerning
your
frustration.
This
is
clearly
an
area
where
it
is
difficult
to
keep
up
with
the
level
of
questions
I
didn't
highlight
earlier,
but
I
want
to
highlight
now
the
fact
that
our
systems
have
been
functioning
well
in
our
basic
services
throughout
this
whole
process
and
when
I
say
basic
services,
I
mean
we
are.
N
Our
911
dispatch
has
been
able
to
be
fully
staffed
the
whole
time,
but
we
are
on
an
average
basis
somewhere
between
six
and
eight
times.
The
average
call
load
for
9-1-1
calls
and
so
I
apologize
to
all
of
those
people
who
are
calling
9-1-1
and
having
long
waiting
times.
But
the
volume
is
is
just
beyond
us
and
we
are
not
able
to
able
to
just
easily
divert
that
to
another
entity
because
of
the
resources
that's
necessary
to
answer
all
of
those.
N
Our
3
1
1
calls
have
been
more
than
five
times
and
I
will
say
about
our
3
101
callers
and
our
9-1-1
are
3.
1,
1
and
9-1-1
employees
do
an
admirable
job,
because
many
of
the
calls
they
are
taking
are
people
that
are
expressing
their
opinions
vehemently,
and
that
is
perfectly
their
right.
But
if
all
you
do
do
all
day,
long
is
answer
the
phone
and
have
people
who
are
in
that
frame
of
mind.
N
It
is
not
an
easy
thing
for
an
employee
to
do
and
I
admire
them
for
the
work
that
they
are
doing,
knowing
that
they
have
to
be
representatives
of
the
city
as
much
as
they
may
have
personal
feelings
that
they
would
like
to
express
themselves
and
the
same
with
our
communication
staff.
Greta
Bergstrom
has
done
a
great
job.
We
are
pulling
other
in,
have
been
pulling
other
resources
even
from
other
organizations
and
has
been
working
on
a
joint
information
system,
and
that
is
operational.
N
We
are
integrated
with
the
the
National
Guard
and
the
Department
of
Public
Safety.
There
is
information
that
is
flowing
much
better
than
it
was
previously
I
think
I
would
say
for
council
members.
As
always,
if
you
have
a
desire
for
some
need
and
information
than
to
please
contact
our
communication
staff
and
I
will
have
each
of
them
reach
out
to
you
with
the
appropriate
contact
and
email
addresses.
N
N
B
F
F
Things
like
that,
in
the
absence
of
that
it
is
generating
rumors
speculation
and
way
more
contacts.
So
I
would
actually
expect
that
we
would
see
less
calls
2,
3,
1,
1,
less
contacts
to
council
members.
Less
of
us,
then,
in
return,
asking
staff
department
heads
for
information
if
we
were
able
to
get
some
of
that,
those
common
questions
out
there.
Some
of
that
information
out
there
for
people.
N
Council
president
council
member
Johnson,
thank
you,
I
hear
you.
We
are
doing
everything
we
can
to
improve
that
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
information
is
accurate
before
we
send
it
out.
Normally
we
have
hours
or
days
to
respond
here,
oftentimes
its
minutes
and
so
I
will
be,
but
that
doesn't
is
not
an
excuse
for
us
not
to
be
better
every
hour
to
the
kind
of
work
that
you
are
asking
us
to
do,
and
we
will
do
our
very
best
to
continue
to
improve.
B
B
The
I
do
need
to
direct
the
clerk
to
file
the
report
from
the
mayor
and
staff
and
then
the
next
item
is
our
draft
resolution.
This
would
ratify
the
mayor's
declared
state
of
local
emergency
that
was
issued
on
Thursday,
as
well
as
they
were
to
see
regulation
tied
to
the
name
Detroit
curfew,
which
was
issued
yesterday.
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
summarize
those
items
so
that
we
understand
them,
and
then
we
will
be
able
to
have
discussion
on
those
items.
Thank
you.
Mr.
Clerk.
Thank.
C
You,
madam
president,
and
if
I,
can
ask
the
staff
to
display
the
draft
resolution
so
that
the
public
monitoring
they
also
see
this.
As
noted
on
Thursday
mayor
FRA
proclaimed
a
local
state
of
emergency
resulting
from
civil
unrest
following
the
officer-involved
death
of
George
Perry
Floyd.
That
action
was
made
in
accordance
with
our
city
code,
section
120
8.50,
which
authorizes
the
mayor
consistent
with
state
law,
to
declare
a
local
emergency
for
a
period
of
not
to
exceed
72
hours.
Before
that
72-hour
period
expires.
The
council
must
convene
to
consider
whether
to
ratify
that
declaration.
C
The
code
provides
the
council
may
either
ratify
the
mayor's
emergency
declaration
or
and
if
not,
they
act
to
terminated.
On
march,
19th
council
ratified
and
extended
a
separate
emergency
declaration
that
was
made
by
the
mayor,
which
established
a
local
public
health
emergency
in
Minneapolis
associated
with
the
coronavirus
that
remains
in
effect
and
is
tied
to
the
statewide
peacetime
emergency
declared
by
Governor
Walz.
This
second
emergency
declaration
arises
from
the
civil
disturbance
that
occurred
throughout
the
city
as
a
result
of
the
murder
of
mr.
Floyd.
C
It
is
not
part
of
that
first
emergency
which
pertains
to
the
global
health
pandemic
and
its
impact
on
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
It's
important
to
note
that
each
emergency
declaration
is
tied
to
a
specific
need
or
an
event,
which
explains
why
the
mayor
issued
the
second
declaration
this
week.
The
authority
granted
to
the
mayor
under
an
emergency
declaration
does
not
expand
to
cover
or
apply
to
any
in
all
situations.
C
The
scope
of
that
authority
is
tied
directly
to
the
issue,
need
or
then
identified
in
the
emergency
declaration,
and
so
in
that
light,
I
should
point
out
that
this
resolution
does
not
authorize
additional
powers
to
the
mayor.
Rather,
the
purpose
is
to
grant
emergency
powers
to
the
mayor
in
connection
with
this
specific
emergency,
which
also
then
enables
the
city
to
request
and
receive
aid
and
support
from
other
local
state
and
federal
government
agencies
and
to
make
use
of
those
other
resources.
C
In
this
particular
case,
for
example,
the
mayor
has
already
requested
and
received
from
the
state
support
that
includes
support
from
the
Minnesota
National
Guard.
The
emergency
declaration
also
authorizes
the
mayor
to
proclaim
regulations
that
have
the
legal
force
of
a
city
ordinance
or
a
local
law
which.
I
C
Specifically
to
the
response
of
the
city
to
the
declared
emergency
situation,
the
draft
resolution
before
council
includes
a
series
of
five
recitals
each
of
these
begin
with
the
word,
whereas
which
established
the
context
for
this
specific
emergency
declaration.
These
explanatory
paragraphs
are
then
followed
by
the
actual
resolving
clause
which
presents
the
specific
actions
that
are
being
taken
by
City
Council.
First,
if
adopted,
the
resolution
ratified.
This
declared
state
of
emergency
was
made
of
past
Thursday
May
28
by
the
mayor,
for
those
reasons
set
forth
in
the
body
of
the
resolution.
C
Second,
the
resolution
extends
the
period
of
that
local
emergency
through
June
12th
again,
this
will
allow
the
city
to
avail
itself
of
resources
and
other
aid
which
may
be
or
may
become
available
because
of
the
emergency.
The
City
Council
may,
in
its
own
action,
terminate
the
emergency
period
prior
to
that
sunset
date.
It
also
may
further
extend
the
date
past
June
12th
if
that
becomes
necessary.
Third,
the
resolution
ratifies
adopts
and
extend
through
the
emergency
period.
C
The
emergency
regulation
that's
been
issued
by
the
mayor
already
in
the
spar
that
includes
emergency
regulation,
2020
2-1,
which
imposed
a
curfew
throughout
the
city
beginning
at
8
p.m.
yesterday
and
continues
throughout
this
weekend,
if
and
as
necessary,
that
regulation
or
any
additional
regulations
that
might
be
issued
could
be
renewed
by
the
mayor
during
the
emergency
period
and
again,
the
City
Council
retains
final
authority
in
its
own
action
to
extend
or
terminate
those
individual
regulations.
C
Finally,
if
adopted,
the
city
clerk
has
been
directed
to
publish
and
post
this
resolution,
including
posting
to
the
city's
website
official
bulletin
boards,
in
order
to
give
broad
publicity
to
the
effect
of
the
council's
act
and
ratifying
and
extending
the
declared
state
of
local
emergency
and
Madam
President.
That
completes
my
summary
of
the
draft
resolution
for
your
consideration.
C
B
P
If
my
colleagues
feel
like
I'm
really
missing
something
I
should
support
this
I
really
invite
that
and
I
mean
that
earnestly
because,
as
it
stands
from
what
I've
seen
and
from
what
I've
heard,
I
agree
that
we're
in
a
state
of
emergency
I
I
do
not
I,
don't
know
that
I
could
support
this
particular
piece
of
legislation.
B
O
They
don't
care
about
the
curfew.
It
can
be
used
as
an
opportunity
to
arrest
folks,
but
they're
already
doing
a
lot
of
destruction.
So
I
just
have
a
concern
around
that.
Of
course,
we
are
in
a
state
of
local
emergency,
so
it
does.
You
know
that
is
the
reality,
but
I
do
share
concerns
around
this
particular
piece
of
legislation
and
I
much
the
same
as
councilmember
Allison
I
am,
if
folks,
if
I'm
missing
something,
then
I
gladly
welcome
that
feedback.
Thank
you
thank.
B
C
Madam
president,
for
clarifications,
the
declaration
and
the
emergency
regulation
are
issued
by
the
mayor.
What
we
have
in
front
of
Council
is
a
resolution
that
ratified
each
of
those
things,
but,
as
you
point
out,
they
are
separate
issues
and
if
you
wished
to
pull
out
the
emergency
regulation
from
the
body
of
the
resolution,
yeah
that
could
be
done.
I
will
point
out
that,
under
the
state
law
and
city
code
that
emergency
regulation
would
be
enforced
for
30
days,
regardless
of
the
council's
ratification
of
the
resolution.
If
it's
pulled
out.
B
C
Sure
so
all
we
would
have
to
do.
Madam
President
is
the
resolving
Clause
that
speaks
to
the
emergency
regulation.
This
is
the
third
resolve
clause
that
begins
that
so
that,
pursuant
to
Minneapolis,
Code
of
Ordinances
section
one
twenty
eight
point:
eight
zero,
the
mayor's
emergency
regulation
2020
two
one
that
would
just
be
move
to
strike
from
the
resolution.
C
M
Thank
you,
although
I
will
say
that
whole
little
exchange
before
I
got
to
speak
was
a
little
bit
confusing
I'm
fine
with
the
declaration
of
emergency
I
think
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
I
also
have
no
problem
with
the
curfew,
partly
because
the
curfew
was
for
last
night
and
tonight
there
will
be
no
more
curfews
unless
somebody
wants
to
enact
them
going
on
into
the
future.
M
So
what
we're
saying
is:
let's
hold
our
hold
the
same
theory
that
we
used
last
night
and
will
apply
the
curfew
today
and
I
think
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
It's
giving
clear
instructions
to
people,
I
actually
think
it
may
be.
If
we
can't
find
more
resolve
to
help
preserve
and
protect
more
of
our
residents
and
property
owners,
the
curfew
might
make
some
sense
into
the
future
as
well.
M
It's
going
to
be
confusing
and
it's
going
to
be
difficult,
but
it
also
gives
an
opportunity
for
us
to
implemented
what
I
believe
public
safety
professionals
have
developed
as
a
strategy
and
a
theory
that
could
really
help
tonight
and
I
would
just
assume
supportive
and
support
the
original
resolution.
I,
don't
know
that
anybody
moved
to
actually
divide
the
issue,
yet
so
I'm
not
sure
about
that.
But
since
last
team
colleague
councilmember
Ellison
asked
for
more
people
to
weigh
in
so
they
could
understand
that
better
I
thought
I.
M
M
We
had
somebody
who
was
killed
in
the
second
Ward
through
in
this
process
so
far,
so
we're
looking
for
some
way
to
help
us
get
to
a
kamar
place,
so
we
can
start
rebuilding
and
healing
better
and
I
think
this
is
a
very
small
thing
that
could
help
be
part
of
a
bigger
picture
that
will
get
us
there
and
I
support
reaction.
As
originally
proposed.
B
Thank
You
councilman
recordings
and
just
to
clarify
my
questions
to
the
clerk.
If
the
councilmembers,
what
would
like
to
support
the
declaration
of
emergency
which
allows
us
to
access
resources
as
described
by
the
clerk
but
did
not
want
to
support
the
extension
of
the
curfew
regulation
that
any
council
member
could
move
to
strike
that
Clause
that
the
clerk
described,
which
is
the
piece
that's
specific
to
the
emergency
regulation
around
the
curfew.
So
I
wanted
to
give
that
option.
B
O
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
I
will
not
be
making
a
motion
to
strike
that
particular
Clause
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I'm
stating
on
the
record
that
that
I
respect
the
perspective
of
the
public
safety
professionals,
I'm,
saying
implementation
on
the
ground,
at
least
in
North
Minneapolis,
where
we
are
having
to
organize
ourselves
to
protect
our
assets
because
of
the
fact
that
resources
are
being
pulled
in
other
parts
of
the
city.
O
Again,
understandably,
that
sort
of
implementation
is
not
helpful
for
us,
because
now
folks
have
to
be
afraid
of
being
arrested
or
dealing
with.
Fines
and
I
know
that
the
chief
said
that
the
police
have
the
ability,
individual
officers,
have
the
ability
have
discretion,
but
we
are
essentially
still
asking
folks
to
violate
curfew
order
in
order
to
protect
our
neighborhood
so
I
that
that
incongruence
is
what
the
concern
that
I
have
with
and
I
understand
it's
just
through
tonight,
but
still
like,
even
that.
O
B
B
You
know,
communities
are
on,
fire
are
burning
down
and
I
think
we
heard
counsel
mikanos.
You
know
descriptions
of
some
of
that
earlier
in
the
meeting,
and
so
with
some
reservations.
I
will
be
supporting
the
resolution
as
it's
prepared
and
I
have
had
many
conversations
with
state
leaders
and
others
around
these
questions.
Of
not
targeting
peaceful
protesters
or
protester
is
not.
B
You
know,
interfering
with
residents
who
are
putting
up
fires
or
otherwise
working
to
support
their
community.
I.
Think
the
messaging
that
we're
seeing
from
a
lot
of
community
leaders,
including
our
faith
community,
is
important,
which
is
that
we're
in
an
unusual
and
extraordinary
circumstance
where
it
is
clear
that
there
are
very
destructive
actors
that
are
here
to
harm
our
community,
and
we
just
can't
let
that
harm
continue.
B
Fires,
thankfully,
have
not
reached
residential
buildings
that
they
have
come
directly
in
contact
with
low-income
housing
with
with
public
housing,
and
you
know,
our
ability
to
keep
people
safe
from
those
fires.
I
think
is,
is
such
a
high
priority
that,
as
I'm
hearing
from
all
of
the
emergency
response
personnel
that
the
way
to
help
manage
those
fires
and
safety
issues
is
to
have
more
ability
to
focus
on
those
who
are
creating
those
fires?
B
You
know
I,
just
think
that
that's
narrative
in
in
the
very
near
term
and
I
also
just
want
to
restate
what
I
said
earlier,
which
is
that
I
know
people
will
continue
to
protest.
People
can
should
continue
to
protest.
They
should
continue
to
demand
from
every
elected
leader
every
community
leader,
further
action
cuts,
our
Ellison.
P
You
know
I
I,
you
know
I'm,
not
gonna,
follow
any
of
my
colleagues.
Obviously
you
know
for
for
supporting
this
and,
and
it's
definitely
not
a
matter
of
whether
or
not
I,
think
communities
are
in
turmoil.
You
know
last
night,
you
know
I,
you
know
people
kind
of
understand
that
I
was
out
helping
doing
my
best
to
put
out
fires
that
were
occurring
at
small
businesses
in
my
ward,
but
I
also
ran
into
a
smoke-filled
apartment
building
with
neighbors
to
to
empty
it.
P
Once
we
lost
control
of
the
fire
before
MFD
got,
there
ran
into
a
smoke-filled
apartment
and
apartment
building
and
help
get
folks
out.
So
it
is,
it
is
not
lost
on
me.
The
the
the
extent
of
what
we're
dealing
with
but
I
think
that
I
have
continued
to
feel
an
inability
to
get
through
on
my
suggestions
on
how
we,
how
we
can
move
forward
and
and
I
don't
feel
like
the
council
is
really
in
collaboration
with
distract
with
the
strategy.
P
That's
been
implemented
so
far,
and
this
is
essentially
asking
us
two
on-the-record,
you
know
I
guess
essentially
give
our
stamp
of
approval
and
and
and
and
and
maybe
if
there
had
been
more
discussion
I,
you
know,
I
get
it,
but
you
know
this
is
not
a
matter
of
hindsight
is
twenty-twenty.
You
know
some
of
the
suggestions
that
I
believe
that
would
have
worked
I've
been
giving
since
that
first
night
of
the
protest-
and
so
you
know
and
and
I
know
that
every
council
member
has
done
their
best
to
keep
their
community
safe.
P
You
know,
I
have
I
spent
all
night
every
night
since
the
beginning.
This
tragedy
on
foot
on
the
ground
trying
to
help
people,
not
just
it's
not
just
bearing
witness
but
trying
to
help
people
along
the
way
and
I
think
that
I've
been
successful
in
helping
some
people
recover
from
injury
and
I
think
that
in
many
ways
I
have
felt
overwhelmed
in
and
and
in
in
in
every
setting.
So
the
the
the
weight
of
this
is
not
lost
on
me.
I
I
P
Yeah
I'm
happy
to
do
that.
I
think
I.
Think
at
this
point
it's
a
it's.
It's
maybe
moot
because
I've
been
giving
suggestions
since
since
the
first
day
and
now,
I
have
resorted
to
just
being
on
the
ground
and
and
and
and
and
administering
first
aid
and
putting
out
fires
as
I
can
as
an
individual,
but
I
do
believe
that
we
from
the
jump,
like
I,
said
we
had
our
employees
assaulting
marchers
unprovoked.
P
That
was
that
was.
That
was
the
first
act
of
violence.
The
first
act
of
violence
that
the
crowd
experience
was
was
against
the
crowd
from
our
employees
and
so
I
think
that
that
is
I.
Think
that
that,
in
some
in
a
lot
of
ways
set
the
tone
for
what
we're
experiencing
now.
I
think
that
to
have
a
officers
lined
up
with
their
helmets
and
their
and
and
their
batons
and
their
guns
lined
up
it.
Wasn't
it
wasn't?
It
was
antagonizing,
it
created
a
draw.
P
Actually
it
created
a
draw
and
and
and
I
and
I-
think
I
have
some
proof
of
that
theory,
because
the
other
night
at
the
fourth
Precinct
in
my
ward,
the
crowds
gathered
outside
the
4th
precinct
in
order
to
begin
protesting
and
I
called
the
inspector
and
I
told
the
inspector.
You
know
if
you
want
to
see
this
to
go
the
way
of
the.
If
you
want
to
see
before--the
go
the
way.
The
third
then
go
ahead
and
put
guys
in
helmets
and
have
them
line
up
outside
I,
said
I.
Think
it's
a
bad
strategy.
P
Well,
he
did
exactly
that
and
when
I
arrived
at
the
scene,
things
were
extremely
volatile.
Now.
Luckily,
a
number
of
community
members
were
there
who
were
who
were
who
were
interested
in
supporting
me
de-escalating
the
situation
and
I
supported
them
as
well.
At
de-escalating
the
situation,
we
were
able
to
get
the
crowd
across
the
street,
but
still
things
tensions
were
running
extremely
high.
I
could
not
get
the
police
to
go
to
enter
back
into
the
precincts.
They
insisted
on
lying
up
outside
in
an
aggressive,
forceful
manner.
P
I
then
called
the
assistant
chief
and
asked
him
to
come
down
to,
because
I
was
doing,
I
ended,
I
was
doing
my
hand
to
hold
the
crowd
back
so,
but
but
the
police
were
not
responding
in
kind.
The
assistant
chief
US
arrived
and
supported
and
supported
me
and
the
crowd
in
getting
the
police
to
re-enter
the
fourth
Precinct
and
as
soon
as
they
reenter
the
fourth
Precinct,
the
detention
was
out
of
the
air
people
hung
around,
there
was
no
yelling
was
no
throwing,
and
this
is
North
Minneapolis.
This
is
at
the
fourth
Precinct.
P
This
is
two
nights
ago
and
and
and
and
and
and
and
after
a
while,
the
crowd,
dissipated.
You
know,
I
a
handful
of
straggler
stayed
out
there
all
night,
but
but
I
believe
that
it
all
it
would
have
taken
was
one
of
the
and
I've
seen
this
in
the
past
and
2015
there
was
there
there.
There
were
three
day
protests
had
whittled
down
to
six
people
and
when
the
police
forcefully
removed
those
six
people,
we
had
three
thousand
outside
the
precinct
that
evening.
So
I
think
my
ideas
are
pretty
good.
I
think
they've
been
tested.
P
I
was
told
on
the
second
night,
I
was
told
that
that
the
police
had
to
stand
outside
there
and
protect
the
third
Precinct,
because
if
they
didn't
the
surrounding
buildings
would
burn.
I
was
told
this,
as
AutoZone
was
on
fire
and
I
was
standing
right
there.
So
you
know
I'm.
Sorry,
council
president,
you
don't
know
what
the
ideas
are,
but
I
have
been
in
conversation
with
folks
who
say
that
they're
making
these
choices
and
I've
given
them
these
suggestions.
These
things
have
worked
for
me
on
the
north
side
and
they've
worked
for
for
North
siders.
P
You
know,
I
have
felt
I
feel
like
I've
been
ignored
at
every
turn
and
and
and
and
and
and
while
none
of
us
can
predict
the
future
and
I
can't
say
with
absolute
certainty
that
these
strategies
would
have
worked.
I
can
say
they
have
worked
elsewhere,
and
so,
who
knows
and
I
think
I
think
that
the
results
of
our
parish
strategy
are
self-evident.
And
if
you
disagree
with
that,
I
don't
know
what
to
tell
you.
You
know:
I
can.
I
P
B
You,
council
member
and
it
was
council
vice
president-
asked
the
question
and
I
appreciate
your
response.
There
are
I
do
see.
Councillor
Schrader
on
cue,
I,
also
see
the
time
and
I
know
that
many
council
members
are
kind
of
going
back
and
forth
between
community
conversations
and
meetings.
Customer
schraeder,
I'll
acknowledge
you
and
then
I
think
I'd
like
to
call
the
questioner
or
just
ask
that
we
be
able
to
take
the
vote
after
that
comment.
I
think.
G
You
counsel
buzzing
in
and
in
light
of
that,
I'll
be
very
brief.
First
just
I
want
to
say
I
support
the
curfew.
I
think
it
is
a
it's
another
tool
that
we
need
I,
but
I
also
completely
agree
with
council
member
Ellison.
You
know
last
night
the
the
curfew
like
I
did
not
see
how
it
was
effective,
I
am
hoping
tonight
is
very
different.
Will
lead
it
to
that,
but
I
also
want
addressed
one
of
council
member
al
since
other
very
good
points.
G
This
is
not
an
endorsement
of
the
strategies
that
have
gone
before
the
City.
Council
has
not
not
been
included,
you
know
and
that's
not
to
say
that
we've
been
excluded.
This
is
just
not
something
that
you
know
the
City
Council
isn't
does
not
have
oversight
over
the
police,
and
so
all
of
these
decisions
that
have
been
made
have
been
without
us
and
so
I
just
want
to
think.
That
was
a
good
point
to
make
some
clarity
that
this
is
not
an
endorsement
of
the
strategies
that
have
gone
forward.
Thank
you,
Thank.
B
B
I
Thank
you,
madam
president,
to
be
clear.
I
have
in
writing
that
on
Tuesday
I
made
the
exact
same
recommendations
to
our
police
chief
to
everyone
who
was
in
charge
of
making
those
issues
known,
do
not
use
tear
gas.
Do
not
use
rubber
bullets,
they
did
it
then
on
Wednesday
they
did
not
do
it
and
it
still
burned
down.
So
you
know
I
appreciate
your
comments.
Councilmember
Ellison,
but
I
made
the
exact
same
recommendations.
I
They
were
ignored
and
and
then
subsequently
followed
the
next
night
and
unfortunately,
we
did
not
have
the
same
brilliant
success
that
you
had
it
on
the
north
side.
So
and
and
here's
the
thing
these
people
who
are
burning
down
our
city.
They
are
not
the
residents
of
the
city,
and
so,
if
we
don't
want
to
face
the
reality,
if
we
don't
care
about
that,
then
that's
fine,
but
you
know,
and
no
people
aren't
going
to
respect
the
curfew,
but
it's
a
tool
to
help
us
get
some
kind
of
handle
on
this
situation.
I
B
K
Reward
I
just
wanted
to
add.
You
know
this
is
a
very
different
situation.
I
I
made
the
recommendation
on
night
one
to
have
our
MPD
personnel
evacuated
from
the
third
Precinct
as
a
de-escalation
tactic,
because
we've
been
here
before
and
the
request
to
have
folks
not
to
your
guests
and
not
rubber
rubber
bullet,
it
doesn't
work.
K
K
We
are
formed,
there's
no
organizing
infrastructure,
a
lot
of
the
folks
on
the
underground
are
very
new
and
different
and
young,
and
so
the
the
kinds
of
communications
lines
we
could
have
had
with
those
folks
are
much
different
or
non-existent
at
all
in
some
cases
for
any
negotiations
or
peacekeeping
to
be
made.
So
my
recommendation
to
the
mayor
was:
please
evacuate.
The
third
Precinct
remove
our
police
personnel
from
sight,
because
those
officers
humanely
so
were
also
in
a
very
traumatic
position.
K
I,
don't
know
if
you've
noticed,
but
nationally,
the
groups
that
typically
support
policing
and
are
very
very
anti
police
reform
are
a
hundred
percent,
not
behind
what
happened
to
mr.
George
Floyd.
There
is
resounding
almost
consensus
amongst
all
the
diverse
groups
that
the
deal
on
policing
issues
from
the
left
to
the
right
who
are
seeing.
That
was
wrong.
That
was
not
okay,
so
this
is.
This
was
a
very
different
moment
in
time
in
history.
K
This
is
a
very
different
case,
compounded
by
over
nineteen,
and
the
only
way
to
be
estimate
was
to
evacuate
the
officers
from
that
building.
We
didn't
do
that
the
first
night
I,
don't
think
we
did
it
the
second
night
we
went
to
start
at
the
third
the
third
day
and
by
then,
of
course,
I
think
the
agent
provocateurs
were
already
doing
their
work
and
we're
already
instigating
all
kinds
of
free
and
and
property
damage.
K
Every
single
time
that
there
is
civil
unrest,
so
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
think
we
need
to
remind
ourselves
compassionately
that
this
is
a
different
moment
in
time
and
that
the
that
everyone
is
trying
to
figure
it
out
together
and
and
to
be
more
communicative
and
more
and
reach
out
to
each
other
more
because
so
many
of
us
are
being
pulled
in
different
ways.
At
this
moment.
K
You
know
some
of
us
are
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
do
the
systems,
change
and
then
we're
being
pulled
into
the
protest
and
then
we're
being
taken
out
again
to
do
something
else,
and-
and
so
please,
let's
communicate
more.
Let's
outreach
to
each
other.
More,
let's
and
I
know:
we've
stayed
up
multiple
nights
in
a
row
texting
each
other
till
5:00
in
the
morning.
Let's
keep
those
lines
of
communication
open
and
not
be
afraid
to
pick
up
the
phone
to
let
each
other
know
hey.
This
is
what's
going
on.
K
This
is
what
I
just
saw
as
we
head
into
the
next
48
hours
of
the
situation,
but
again
my
deep
gratitude
to
all
the
council
members
who
have
been
hands
on
to
come
from
the
Fletcher
and
councilmember
Palmisano
who
have
taken
my
calls
at
all
hours
of
the
day
to
process
the
issues
and
I
I.
You
know
wholeheartedly
look
forward
to
working
with
our
entire
council
body
to
make
sure
that
we
arrive
at
a
good
place
of
strategic
and
deep
structural
change
by
June
30th.
Thank
you
put
on
the
blender.
B
C
J
B
You
colleagues
and
I
appreciate
the
very
thoughtful
discussion
and
the
important
points
that
everyone
raised
with
that
we
have
adopted
the
resolution,
which
ratified
in
a
sense,
they're
declared
local
state
of
emergency
and
the
associate
regulation
on
curfew,
though
that
concludes
all
of
the
items
on
our
agenda
for
our
emergency
meeting
today.
So
you
know
business
before
us,
for
their
business
before
us
and
about
affection.
I
will
declare
this
emergency
meeting
adjourned.
I
know
we'll
all
be
in
touch
throughout
the
evening
again.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
leadership
in
our
community.
