B
C
Good
evening
this
is
cindy
lord
I'm,
the
chair
of
the
civil
rights
commission,
accountability
on
the
killing
of
george
floyd
task
force,
and
I'm
going
to
call
this
meeting
for
march
11th
to
order.
I
want
to
welcome
everyone
joining
us
this
evening.
As
we
begin,
I
will
note
for
the
record
that
this
meeting
has
remote
participation
by
members
of
the
commission
and
city
staff
as
authorized
under
minnesota
statutes,
section
13
d
.021
due
to
the
declared
local
public
health
emergency.
C
The
city
will
be
recording
and
posting
this
meeting
to
the
city's
website
and
youtube
channel
as
a
means
of
increasing
public
access
and
transparency.
This
meeting
is
public
and
subject
to
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law.
At
this
time,
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
rule,
so
we
can
verify
a
quorum
for
the
meeting.
Madam
clerk,
commissioner.
E
E
C
Great
so
we
have
a
quorum
commissioners.
The
agenda
for
today's
meeting
is
before
us.
It's
a
it's,
a
very
straightforward
and
simple
agenda.
I
believe
it's
in
the
chat.
May
I
have
a
motion
to
adopt
the
agenda.
C
G
B
D
C
C
I'm
wondering
commissioner
daniani,
if
you
could
maybe
take
us
through
the.
If
we
could
one
view
the
statement
put
the
statement
up
on
the
screen
and
secondly,
if
commissioners
did
not,
stanani
would
like
to
walk
us
through
the
draft
that
he
has
put
together
and
then
we
could
have
some
discussion
around
it.
Does
that
work
for
you,
commissioner,.
A
Yes,
it
does
one
of
the
people
supporting
us
to
be
able
to
put
the
you
know.
Ted
bull
shares
fantastic.
Thank
you.
So
this
short
statement
comprises
three
items
with
the
spoke
about
the
last
meeting.
A
One
points,
one
through
three
and
then
points
four
and
five
were
not
discussed
distinctly,
but
I
added
them
for
the
purpose
of
discussion
and
also
you
know,
given
that
I
decided
to
put
things
optionally
that
we're
not
discussed
in
there.
I
would
like
to
open
the
floor
to
anybody
who
would
also
like
to
see
other
points
added
to
this.
A
Basically,
the
the
the
tone
and
meter
of
the
of
the
statement
is
attempting
to
be
neutral,
with
an
emphasis
on
safety,
peace
and
and
in
you
know,
non-nonviolent
action
by
everyone.
So
you
know
they
I'll.
Let
people
take
a
moment
to
read
it
and
then
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
have
or
meetings
of
which
I
put
in
there.
So
I'll
pause
and
let
open
the
floor
for.
C
So
this
is
commissioner,
lord
one,
and-
and
I-
and
one
thing
we
had
talked
I
think
about-
but
maybe
had
not
decided
to
take
action
on
last
week-
was
potentially
a
statement
that
was
more.
C
Exhortative
to
the
mayor
and
city
council
to
have
one
maybe
public
facing
statement
and
one
statement
that
was
maybe
more
appointed
directed
towards
government
officials.
Is
that
something
that
we
would
want
to
to
do?
And
I
asked
and
it's
relevant
to
this
because
it
might
take
some
of
the
pressure
off
of
some
of
the
content
of
this
statement.
You
know
for
if
we
were
to
like
bifurcate
those.
A
Commissioner,
chair
lord,
this
is
meant
to
be,
you
know
the
public
facing
state
and
we
could
certainly
add
the
more
extortive
statements
I
get.
My
recollection.
The
last
meeting
was
the
I
was
focusing
on
the
the
public
statement.
C
Yeah-
and
I
think
that
the
statement
I
should
mention
is
also
in
the
chat,
I
think
madam
clerk
or
someone
else
on
the
team
has
put
that
in
the
chat
as
well.
Just
mentioning
that.
F
Commissioners
stagnating
this
is
commissioner
debnish
good
evening.
I
I
appreciate
you
writing
this
and
I
personally
like
the
way
it's
written.
It's
to
the
point
and.
A
Thank
you
for
your
thoughts.
What
I
would
like
to
do,
though,
is
you
know,
really
bring
the
group's
attention
to
four
and
five
as
we
did
not
discuss
them.
You
know
for
inclusion
here
and
they're
simply
put
up
for
the
purpose
of
discussion.
Would
would
anyone
like
to
comment
on
their
inclusion
or
comment
on
their
removal.
C
Commissioner,
would
it
be
okay,
would
it
be
okay,
if
maybe
we-
maybe
we
just
kind
of
went
point
by
point
on
this
to
just
see
if
there's
comments
on
each
one,
just
in
the.
C
Being
thorough,
so
let's
maybe
start
with
just
the
opening
paragraph
and
there's
you
know.
I
acknowledge
that,
like
writing
by
committee
is
definitely
not
how
you
know
great
novels
are
written
or
great
anything
for
the
most
part.
So
let
me
acknowledge
that,
but
are
there
any
comments
on
the
first
paragraph,
the
opening
paragraph,
because
ultimately
we
do
need
kind
of
alignment
and
the
full
committee
to
endorse
it.
C
I
Is
it,
commissioner,
lord
in
I'm,
I'm
looking
to
to
access
this
via
the
chat,
because
when
people
are
talking,
it's
moving
away
from
ted's
screen,
but
I
don't
see
it
in
the
chat
actually.
D
J
C
Sure
so
I
I
guess
I
could
just
read
it
for
benefit
of
folks,
I
looks
like
some
people
are
on
the
phone
as
well.
The
minneapolis
commission
on
civil
rights
mccr
recognizes
that
the
world
is
focused
on
the
upcoming
trial
associated
with
the
killing
of
george
floyd.
The
mccr
also
recognizes
that
this
trial
represents
a
watershed
moment
for
civil
rights
for
minneapolis
and
the
state
of
minnesota
to
the
scent.
To
this
end,
the
mccr
supports
these
peaceful
actions.
C
I
E
J
It
is
in
our
legislative
system,
but
I've
noticed
that
it's,
I
think
it's
down
right
now.
So
that's
why
we're
recommending
that
the
chair
read
each
statement
so
that
you
can
hear.
E
J
Yeah
I'm
contacting
our
tech
team,
but
obviously
it's
after
hours.
So
I'm
not
sure
if
it'll
be
resolved
right
at
the
moment,
but
it
will
definitely.
E
C
Do
you
know
what
the
the
legislative
access
is
that
it
was
previously
referred
to?
Is
there
like
a
url,
we
could
provide
a
member
of
the
public.
E
That
that
would
help
I
mean
I
like
she
said
it
looks
like
there
are
tech
problems
where
there's
definitely
a
link,
but
it
doesn't
go
through.
C
J
Yep
chair
lord
I'm
gonna
work
on
it
see
if
I
can
get
it
working
and
if
I
do
I'll,
let
everyone
know.
C
If
I
could
go
back
to
the
the
task
force
members.
Are
there
any
comments
or
thoughts
so
far
that
we
want
to
discuss
on
point
one
or
the
introduction.
E
Yeah,
what
do
you
mean
by
watershed?
Is
it
I
mean
I
think,
that's
I'm.
I
think
I
want
that
to
be
a
little
bit
more
specific.
A
A
So
when
I
use
the
word
watershed,
it
is
really
it
can
go
one
way
or
the
other
and
we
want
to
endorse,
and
you
know
a
peaceful
methodology
to
either
demonstrate
our
opposition
to
the
where
it
goes
or
to
endorse
where
it
goes
so,
but
the
whole
action
there
is
watershed.
Is
you
know
you
know
an
artful
term?
It's
it
can
be
certainly
substituted
to
something
less
ambiguous.
If
that's,
if
that's
the
problem.
E
That's
it.
I
just.
C
This
is
one
that
I
did
have
a
couple
of
questions
on,
I
guess
and
and
mark
maybe
you
could
tell
me
what
you're
thinking
I
was
a
little
thrown
by
allowing
peaceful
demonstration,
because
it
is
it's
not
up
to
the
mayor
or
the
city
council
or
the
minneapolis
police,
to
allow
demonstration
it's
our
rights
as
citizens.
C
So
I
was
a
little
taken
aback
by
that
and
I
was
I
was
wondering
about
safe
locations
too,
because
it
almost
seemed
to
like
the
circumscribing
or
constraining
kind
of
the
the
the
I
don't
know
just
where
people
could
be
right,
because
it's
really
not
up
to
them
to
decide.
What's
safe
or
not.
You
know.
A
Basically
they
you
know
they
chose
not
to
allow
demonstration
in
certain
periods
and
times
they
gave
a
time
limit
and
then
moved
in
to
you
know,
remove
people
from
that
location,
safe
locations.
Is
you
know,
you
know,
I
love
putting
people,
you
know
allowing
people
to
peacefully
demonstrate
where
they
might
be
at
risk
is,
I
think,
not
something
we
want
to
recommend.
I
mean
we're
trying
to
extort
the
police,
the
mayor
and
the
city
commission
to
allow
people
to
protest.
D
E
E
So
I
I
would
like
to
revisit
thinking
about
coming
up
with
a
different
word
then
allow
something
like
it's
their
right
or
something
clear
about
the
intentions
of
peaceful
protests.
I
Yeah
just
to
to
go
off
of
what
you
were
saying
chair
lord,
I
would
propose
the
verbiage
we
exhort
the
mayor,
the
city
council
and
minneapolis
police-
to
provide
for
peaceful
to
provide
for
peaceful
demonstration
because
they
they
are
responsible
for
ensuring
that
and
that
takes
into
account
safe
location.
I
But
if
we,
if
they
provide
for
peaceful
demonstration
and
prioritize
the
escalation,
I
think
those
are
their
responsibilities
and
just
because
there
are
other
voices
on
here,
I
would
also
on
one
I
would
say
we
support
peaceful
demonstration
as
a
fundamental
right
only
for
parallelism,
because
we
have
a
we
exhort
and
we
expect
and
for
one
I
would
change
it
to.
We
support
peaceful
demonstration
or
we
just
so
that
they
are
we
their
parallel
restatements.
C
Suggestions
to
have
you
know,
verb
constructs
and
then
support
as
well.
Commissioner
rants
did
you
have
something
to
add.
B
No,
I
think,
that's
a
nice,
I
think
that's
a
nice
compromise.
E
I
I
think
I
would
like
that
a
little
bit
more
specific,
it's
not
something
about
expecting
the
right
of
like
we
ex.
We
expect
the
rights
of
peaceful
protesters
to
be
safe
or
or
something
again
a
little
bit
clearer
and
not
as
vague
like
watershed.
C
Is
there
and
I'm
sorry,
a
member
of
the
public?
Could
you
please
repeat
your
name,
so
I
could
address
you
properly.
I
feel
like
I
can't
address
you
properly.
E
C
C
E
C
The
and
I
think
the
second
point
is
really
meant
to
address
that-
to
hit
on
the
I
think,
to
march,
to
mark's
point
this,
that
safety
of
it.
A
And
also,
if
I
may
interject
demonstration
in
an
unsafe
space,
for
instance
in
the
middle
of
the
freeway,
you
know
you
know
is
not
something
that
the
police
are
going
to
allow
either.
So
this
is
why
I'm
trying
to
define
safe
locations
within
that.
I
can't
support
people.
You
know
stepping
into
traffic.
E
E
One
loser
thing:
did
I
don't?
I
don't
see
what
they
did
during
the
bus
pro
protests,
I
it
was
meant,
that's
what
protest
is
meant
to
do,
disrupt
daily
functions,
so
these
type
of
moments
of
people's
lives
can
be
taken
into
account.
C
C
Opening
a
point,
one
with
kind
of
a
verb
construct
and
also
changing,
allow
to
provide
for
commissioner
herkmans.
A
C
Recommendations
of
those
okay,
and
can
we,
let's
kind
of
go
back
to
that
kind
of
safe
locations.
I
feel
like
we
haven't
totally
aligned
on
aligned
on
that.
A
Well,
I
mean
the
commission's
kind
of
has
to
come
up
with
something
here,
but
we
cannot,
as
we
are
a
our
biter
of
civil
rights,
we
are
essentially
judges
for
us
to
endorse
peaceful
demonstration
in
unsafe
locations.
I
think
is
not
a
step
that
we
can
take.
E
Well,
then,
why
don't
we
just
get
rid
of
that
point
then
or
stop
or
not
use
the
word
safe
spaces
or
use
something
else,
because
again,
like
the
tactics
that
are
being
used
are
exactly
the
same
tactics
that
was
done
during
the
civil
rights
movement
and
martin
luther
king.
That's
exactly
what
they
did
marching
from
one
state
to
another.
So
I
I
if
we
can't
endorse
that,
then
how
do
we
say
it
differently?
E
So
it's
not!
The
onus
isn't
on
the
peaceful
protesters,
but
on
the,
but
on
the
city
of
minneapolis.
Who
has
a
history
of
not
what
is
it
of
not
what
what
I
don't
know
we're
top
three
in
racial
inequality
forever.
B
H
And
this
kayla
from
the
civil
rights
department,
could
I
just
make
a
very
quick
comment
share.
Lord
sure
I
just
wanted
to
mention
just
for
the
member
of
the
public,
we're
very
happy
that
you're
here
I
just
want
to
remind
that.
This
is
a
statement
from
the
commission,
so
only
commission
members
will
be
voting
and
ultimately
deciding
on
this
statement.
E
That's
fine
again,
I.
What
I'm
trying
to
do
is
provide
that
community
connection.
You
don't
seem
to
have,
and
I
ultimately
you're
going
to
say
what
you're
going
to
put,
but
I
for
me
it's
very
important
and
for
the
rest
of
us
who
live
here,
that
we
actually
are
able
to
articulate
ourselves
in
these
spaces
that
you're
not
familiar
with.
E
C
You
for
your
perspective,
I
I
think
we
really
appreciate
what
you're
saying
so.
Thank
you,
the
I
and
let
me
ask
the
madam
clerk
and
others
on
the
department.
Do
we
need
to
necessarily
vote
on
things
or
can
we
in
a
committee
meeting?
Can
we
just
decide?
Do
we
really
need
to
vote
just
in
reference
to
commissioner
rance's
suggestion?
I
don't
really
know
the
rules.
J
Chair
lord,
as
we
discussed
at
the
last
meeting,
yes,
you
should,
in
the
end,
vote
on
on
something.
If
someone
has
a
proposal
and
the
group
can't
come
to
a
decision
as
a
consensus,
then
yes,
you
would
definitely
need
to
vote
on
it
and
you
will
be
voting
on
it
at
the
end
as
well,
for
whatever
you
end
up
referring
to
the
civil
rights
commission
and
also,
I
also
agree
with
kayla
that
thank
you
for
the
members
of
the
public
who
are
attending.
J
I
Chair
lord,
I
agree
with
the
on
behalf
of
the
members
of
the
public
that
I
would
like
to
take
out
the
phrase
safe
locations,
because
I
think
that
it
allows
us.
It
allows
a
broader
that
if
we
turn
if
we
change,
allow
peaceful
to
provide
for
peaceful
demonstration
and
prioritize
the
escalation,
it
allows
a
broader
reach
and
isn't
as
constraining
as
the
member
of
the
public
said.
I
While
still
getting
our
point
across
with
without
having
to
define
what
isn't
isn't
the
spaces.
But
across
the
board.
They
should
provide
peaceful
demonstration.
And
so
I
think
that,
from
my
perspective,
that
that
can
carry
the
day
by
changing,
allow
to
provide
and
losing
safe
locations.
C
Yeah,
I
would,
I
would
agree
with
that
ashley
ken
mark.
Would
you
are
you
comfortable
with
that
cindy?
I
think
I
missed
cindy.
F
This
is
commissioner
devenish.
I
agree
with
commissioner
herkman
and
our
committee
member,
even
though
she's
not
a
part
of
the
commission,
I
think
it's
very
wise
to
listen
to
our
community
members
and
be
open
and
transparent
and
welcoming
to
their
suggestions
and
input.
So
thank
you
to
both
of
them.
G
This
is
commissioner
gold
ashanti.
Thank
you
for
being
here
and
thank
you
for
your
perspective
and
I
agree
with
ashanti
and
commissioner
hartman.
I
think
it's
important
to
also
you
know
as
we're
as
we're
talking
about
this.
I'm
thinking
about
the
george
floyd
square
and
I'm
thinking
about
how
that
is
an
active
state
of
protest
and
it
is
we
we
shut
down
the
street.
We
shut
down
four
blocks,
so
I
I
really
yeah.
I
feel,
like
that's
a
good
move.
It's
a
good
to
take
out
a
safe
space,
so.
C
And
I
don't
think
we
heard
from
commissioner.
A
Certainly
bend
the
will
of
the
group
if
every
I
think
that
everyone,
but
for
commissioner
lord,
has
spoken
about
removal
safe
space.
Again,
I
put
these
things
forward,
not
as
written
in
stone
but
written
for
for
examination.
A
C
Okay,
all
right,
commissioner
rants
yeah,
I
think
you're,
the
only
one
who
hasn't
crawford
opinion
on
that.
Unless
I
missed
it.
B
You
know
I
I
moved
that,
but
we
voted
on
it,
so
if
the
majority
wants
to
have
it
strike,
then
so
be
it.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
get
through
this
document
tonight
right.
B
C
G
This
is
commissioner
gold.
Also
thank
you,
commissioner
staniani
for
authoring
this
up.
I
guess
I
I
feel
fine
with
it.
I
think,
there's.
I
almost
want
to
hear
the
word
oath
instead
of
promises,
because
that
is
what
law
enforcement
takes
an
oath
to
protect
and
serve,
and
then
showing
restraint
of
use
of
force-
and
I
don't
know
part
of
me
also
wants
to
hear
excessive
force,
because
we've
also
seen
that,
but
once
again,
these
are
just
thoughts
off
the
top.
A
Well,
just
they
did
not
swear
an
oath
toward
the
escalation
they
promised
it,
so
I'm
simply
using
their
words
versus
both
oaths
have
meaningless.
Also,
you
know
well
documented.
These
are
promises.
G
C
Thought
I
I
think
commissioner
staniani
makes
a
good
point
about
the
actual
meaning
of
oath
because
they
did
not
take
an
oath
to
de-escalate,
but
they
did,
and
I
think
actually
use
of
force
is
stronger
than
saying
use
of
excessive
force.
Because
really
what
you're
saying
there
is?
We
don't
want
force
period
versus
just
excessive
force.
C
C
And
commissioner
staniani,
I
think
these
are
the
ones
you
really
most
wanted
to
discuss
for
the
sake
of
our
member
of
the
public.
Let
me
read
point
four:
we
support
government
transparency
and
accountability
and
encourage
everyone
to
document
any
unsafe
behaviors
of
demonstrators
and
law
enforcement.
A
A
My
thinking
was,
is
we
are
at
this
moment
of
trial
because
someone
stood
up
and
documented
the
the
police
actions
on
and
around
you
know,
george
floyd's
killing.
I
think
it
is
the
absolute
imperative.
We
encourage
everyone
to
continue
to
document
all
behaviors
that
are
unsafe
and
you
know
the
more
the
more
we
have
on
record
the
better
people.
E
E
E
This
was
unique
in
the
sense
that
george
died,
but
it
wasn't
a
surprise
because
they
do
this
on
a
daily
basis.
They
abuse
us
and
we
get
lots
of
documentation,
but
there
doesn't
seem
to
be
a
space
or
an
outlet
where
we
can
actually
like
this
was
this
was
unique,
but
I
mean
I've
been
abused
by
chauvin.
E
B
So
I
this
is,
commissioner
rand,
so
I
I
think
that
we
should,
you
know,
include
a
step
for
what
people
can
do
with
that
documentation.
You
know
whether
it's
reported
to
the
proper
authorities
or
or
what
have
you
so
that
if
there
is
malfeasance,
those
things
can
be,
you
know
addressed
and
investigated
and
and
dealt
with.
C
A
We
do
have
links
to
aclu
for
rights
of
the
protester
included
below
you
know,
were
they
released,
they
were
included
below
previously,
so
I
mean
is.
If
there
is
a
if
there
is
a
link
where
people
can
submit
documentation,
videos
whatever.
D
A
Do
we
have
that?
You
know
I'm
not
aware
of
one,
so
I'm
just
saying
that
we
certainly
have
have
room
for
links
below
resource
links
below
so
a
documentation
or
submittal
link,
if
that
someone
does
exist,
should
be
really.
C
E
I
don't
I
don't.
We've
tried
different
different
things
and
it
doesn't
seem
that
it
usually
ends
up
going
to
the
police
union.
Usually
and
like
I've
been
awarded
money
from
abuse
too,
and
it's
documented.
But
once
you
enter
that
enter
that
realm,
they
usually
make
you
sign
something
that
you're
not
going
to
post
it
or
you.
K
E
F
F
Yes,
and
you
know
maybe
yeah
I
feel
like
that
would
be
good
start
as
far
as
resources
in
support
of
these
are
a
few
organizations
that
you
can
contact
if
you
have
any
concerns
about
your
rights.
So
I
think
that
is
a
possible
solution.
H
Sorry,
sorry,
I
was
just
gonna
add,
so
this
is
kayla
from
the
department.
I
was
just
gonna
mention
that
if
it's
a
police
related
issue
like
something
that
you
you
would
want
to
make
a
complaint
against
a
minneapolis
police
officer,
you
can
file
with
the
office
of
police
conduct
review,
which
is
another
division
in
the
civil
rights
department.
F
F
To
do
I'm
sorry-
and
this
is
something
I
need
to
know-
do
you
have
to
do
that?
Or
can
you
just
file
with
the
civil
rights,
because,
as
that
city
member
stated,
that
can
be
awkward
and
you
may
feel
like
your
life
is
in
danger
or
something
like
that
when
you're
going
against
the
police,
they,
you
know
your
your
might
be
in
fear
of
retaliation.
F
So
once
again,
can
we
just
name?
You
know
the
civil
rights
department
or
acl
you
or
or
whoever
naacp
for
supports
and
services,
and
I
I
it
is
okay
to
mention
that,
but
also
to
mention
these
are
alternatives.
You
don't
have
to
go
that
route.
You
can
go
other
routes,
that's
good.
E
C
C
F
I
mean
I
I,
commissioner
lord.
This
is
commissioner
david
again,
I
think
about
the
review
panels
that
we're
on,
and
you
know
I
I
I
can't
help
but
wonder
it.
You
know
that
this
could
be
something
that
would
we
might
possibly
review.
F
Yes,
there
is
a
the
police
way
to
go
about
things,
but
also
in
terms
of
their
civil
rights
being
violated.
Possibly
so
can
I
provide
just.
H
A
little
more
context
of
what
can
be
filed
with
the
department
that
that
you
all
could
end
up
reviewing
yes,
okay,
thank.
D
H
I
was
just
gonna
mention,
so
the
the
office
of
police
conduct
review
is
still
within
the
civil
rights
department.
So
it's
not
the
police,
it's
civilians,
so
they
would
take.
If
you're
coming
to
the
civil
rights
department
with
a
complaint,
they
would
take
anything.
That's
a
complaint
against
a
police
officer
about
like
them
violating
policy.
So
you
know
things
like
excessive
force
and
things
like
that.
H
H
So
that
could
still
be
a
police
officer
doing
something,
but
you
feel
like
it
was
done
because
of
your
protected
class,
whether
that's
race,
gender
or
sexual
orientation,
there's
many
that
are
covered
so
so
you
could
file
in
either
place
or
both
places
depending
on
you
know,
the
circumstances
under
which
something
occurred.
E
That's
excruciatingly
difficult
to
prove
any
of
that.
That's
that's
the
issue
and
I
mean
chauvin
had
dozens
of
complaints
filed
against
him
and
he
still
hasn't
had
a
job
and
he
was
still
in
this
community.
Like
many
of
the
other
officers,
it's
I
mean
being
a
gun
held
to
your
head.
You
can't
say
that's
my
race
or
my
gender
or
my
sexuality
or
or
you
know
it's.
This
is
the
type
of
behavior.
E
That's
here.
That's
why
george
was
killed
here,
because
this
is
what
they
you
know.
If
they
can
kill
him
on
camera,
what
can
they
do
on
a
daily
basis?
So
the
issue
is
that
we
can't
actually
always
prove
those
things,
so
I've
stopped
filing
complaints
with
the
civil
rights
department.
It's
just
it's
just.
Doesn't
you
can't
prove
it.
C
So
so
I'm
going
to
get
us
back
on
task
and
with
respect
to
this
statement,
it
sounds
like
there
were,
like
specific
suggestions
of
relevant
links,
would
be
the
office
of
police
conduct,
review
the
aclu
and
the
minneapolis
civil
rights
department.
D
A
If
those
are
the
only
links
that
we
have,
then
that's
that's
fine,
I
would
say
you
know
there
are
other
ways
to
you
know:
push
documentation
out,
that
is
not
city,
city,
focus
or
city.
You
know,
I
believe
we
could
certainly
post
links
to
tip
lines
for
the
news
media
we
could
put,
you
know,
have
people
submit
to
a
youtube
site,
even
there's
lots
of
different
ways
to
submit
information
to
a
site
that
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
city.
C
C
Is
that?
Is
there
a
consensus
on
that
and
I'll
ask
people
who
don't
agree
with
that
to
speak
up
on
the
commission
on
the
task
force.
C
Okay,
so
point
five:
we
condemn
any
actions
on
the
part
of
demonstrators
or
by
police
that
create
unsafe
conditions
for
any
citizens
mark.
Is
there
any
context
you
would
like
to
provide
for
that
point?.
A
Yeah
the
whole
basis
for
peaceful
demonstration
and
peaceful
response
is
to
not
harm
others
as
you're
doing
it.
So,
basically,
as
people
are,
you
know
protesting
or
demonstrating
either
both,
but
we
had
people.
We
had
the
police
using
kinetic
non-lethal
rounds
on
reporters,
and
then
you
know
people
sending
on
their
porches.
A
C
B
B
B
C
Is
there
a
way
that
we
can
channel
some
of
what
you're
saying,
commissioner
rants
to
maybe
make
unsafe
conditions
a
little
bit
more
pointed
in
the
line
of
what?
What
you're
talking
about.
B
E
E
To
kind
of
give
some
clarity
on
this,
typically
people
who
are
going
to
burn
and
loot
and
use
the
opportunity
to
destroy
are
not
invested
in
or
are
not
connected
to,
george
floyd
or
this
community,
the
it
it
doesn't
matter.
What
kind
of
circumstances
there
are
there
will
be
people
who
do
that,
but
these
aren't
protesters
in
the
way
that
we
think
about
civil
rights
and
the
way
we
think
about
our
rights,
that
that
was
my
experience
that
you
did
see
this
happening
and
a
lot
of
kids
from
the
suburbs
were
there.
E
So
it
wasn't
it's
it's.
This
isn't
just
you
know
black
people
being
angry
and
burning
things
down.
That's
that's
not
typically
what
happens?
It's
usually
folks
who
are
not
connected
to
this
at
all.
In
many
ways
you
do
use
that
opportunity.
So
I,
if
we
are
just
talking
about
rights
of
protesters
and
protecting
them,
I
want
there
to
be.
I
think,
it's
important
to
know
the
distinction.
B
Well,
this
is
this:
is
a
public
letter,
a
public
statement
to
to
all
people,
race
was
never
indicated
or
or
geography
was
never
was
never
indicated.
I
don't.
I
don't
think
that.
B
E
Never
I
never
it's
not
true,
it's
it's
not
true,
and
how
that
actually
is
interpreted
by
the
public.
It's
when
we
talk
about
violence
or
looting,
typically,
even
in
the
national
imagination,
they
are
thinking
about
people
who
who
who
are
not.
They
usually
are
thinking
about
people
that
the
police
are
in
contention
with
and
but.
C
Put
us
back
on
task
for
the
statement,
so,
commissioner
rants,
could
you
do
you
have
a
suggestion
of
how
we
could
maybe
channel
that?
For
this
point
point
five
at.
D
A
Commissioner,
has
a
word
substitution
so
rather
than
saying
demonstrators,
let's
say
by
any
member
of
the
public
and
input
you
know
we
condemn
any
actions
on
the
part
of
any
member
of
public
or
by
the
police
that
can
rate
unsafe
conditions
than
strike
or
dangerous
or
unlawful
conditions.
Unlawful,
okay,
that
create
unlawful
conditions
that
endanger
any
other
citizen.
F
G
C
Those
are
there's
a
venn
diagram
of
those
two
things
right,
but
they're
not
necessarily
the
same
thing:
okay,
so
member
of
the
public
and
dangerous
and
unlawful.
Let
me
let
me
kind
of
go
back
to
the
task
force.
So
what
we
decided
to
do
is
replace
demonstrators
with
member
of
the
public
members
of
the
public
and
creating
dangerous
or
unlawful
conditions.
C
C
C
J
I
am
going
to
send
what
I
believe
that
I've
taken
some
notes
and
I'm
going
to
send
I'm
going
to
send
those
to
ted,
and
then
he
can
share
his
screen.
I'm
just
having
technical
difficulties
sharing
my
screen,
so
it'll
just
be
a
minute.
Okay,.
C
Fancy.
Thank
you.
Let
me
just
ask,
though,
before
we
probably
just
kind
of
move
to
bring
this
to
the
commission
next
week.
Are
there
other
things
for
this
general
public
statement
that
we
feel
are
missing
or
that
we
need
to
address.
C
Okay,
then,
why
don't
we
take
a
look
at
trying
to
get
back
to
my
when
feasible,
if
you
could
maybe
share
the
updated
version?
Yes,.
J
Wait
and
I've
been
trying
to
also
include
in
the
chat
madam
chair,
but
item
five
I
may
or
may
not
have
accurately
captured
the
sentiments
of
the
group.
So
I
would
like
you
to
just
review
that
one
once
once
ted
gets
it
on
the
screen.
A
C
All
right,
let's
see
here
so
here,
what
why
don't?
I
maybe
read
it
aloud.
The
minneapolis
commission
on
civil
rights
recognizes
that
the
world
is
focused
on
the
upcoming
trial
associated
with
the
killing
of
george
floyd.
The
mccr
also
recognizes
that
this
trial
represents
a
watershed
moment
for
civil
rights
for
minneapolis
and
the
state
of
minnesota
to
the
sun.
The
mccr
supports
these
peaceful
actions,
one
we
support
peaceful
demonstration
as
a
fundamental
right
of
our
citizens.
C
We
encourage
our
citizens,
who
wish
to
demonstrate
to
do
so
peacefully,
with
full
knowledge
of
their
rights,
as
listed
in
our
resource
links
below
two.
We
exhort
the
mayor,
the
city
council
in
the
minneapolis
police,
to
provide
for
peaceful
demonstration
and
to
provide
prioritize.
Excuse
me
prioritize
de-escalation,
by
law
enforcement
in
any
supporting
units,
as
promised
by
the
city
three.
We
expect
all
law
enforcement
to
abide
by
the
city's
promises
of
de-escalation
and
restraint
on
use
of
force
by
law
enforcement.
C
Four,
we
support
government
transparency
and
accountability
and
encourage
everyone
to
document
any
unsafe
behaviors
of
demonstrators
in
law
enforcement
and
five.
We
condemn
any
actions
on
the
part
of
any
member
of
the
public
or
by
police
that
create
a
dangerous
or
unlawful,
dangerous
or
unlawful
condition
that
endanger
any
other
citizen.
C
C
Or
unlawful,
creates
dangerous
or
unlawful
conditions
creates
dangerous
or
unlawful
conditions.
Yes,
commissioner,
herkman.
I
Going
all
the
way
back
up
to
the
top.
We
had
an
initial
conversation.
I
don't
remember
if
it
was
a
member
of
the
public
that
brought
it
up,
but
about
the
word
watershed
and
for
me
an
easy
adjustment
would
just
be
calling
it
a
critical
moment
for,
for
some
people
by
definition
or
not.
Watershed
means
important
and
valuable,
but
critical
kind
of
just
recognizes
that
it
could
go
either
way
without
having
to
overthink
it.
So
it
just
removes
an
obstacle
of
trying
to
decide
what
the
author's
intent
was.
C
Okay,
I'm
just
like
looking
back
at
my
notes
to
make
sure.
I
Commissioner,
lord,
while
you're
looking
back,
I
was
one
of
the
I
had
my
hand
raised
before
and
I
just
decided
not
to,
but
because
we're
cruising
pretty
quickly.
I
can't
think
of
a
better
word,
but
on
4,
where
it
says
we
support
government
transparency.
It
feels
like
we
need
a
word.
I
don't
know
as
strong
as
demand
government
transparency,
but
support
could
feel
like
we're,
saying,
they're
doing
a
good
job
and
I
feel
like
we
need
to
we've
already
used,
expect
and
extort.
I
K
What
about
yeah,
I
don't
know
if
this
is
sorry,
is
commissioner
folk
yeah.
I
was
going
to
say
something
along
the
lines
of
expect,
encourage
just
something
that
might
be
feel
a
little
stronger
than.
A
C
I,
like
that
yeah
insists.
We
insist
on
government
transparency
yeah,
so
we're
making
two
two
changes
watershed
to
critical
and
support
in
point
four:
to
insist
is
that
right,
insist,
okay,.
C
Great
so,
as
with
those
two
changes,
I
I'm
wondering
I,
I
guess
I'm
moving
to
a
vote
on
bringing
this
to
the
full
commission
on
monday.
B
C
I
am
wondering
if
it
would
be
possible
for
whoever
has
been
keeping
track
to
make
the
two
changes.
Oh
there
we
go
brilliant
chair.
J
Lord,
I
did
send
that
document
to
to
ted
to
show
on
the
screen,
which
I
believe
is
the
final.
What
you
just
voted
on
and
our
legislative
system
has
been
corrected,
and
we
can
also
upload
this
amended
document,
this
final
document
to
to
the
website
after
this
meeting,
so
the
public.
E
C
I
am,
I
would
like
to
quickly
touch
on
two
other
things.
One
is
socialization
of
this
document
I
mean.
Obviously
we
can.
I
think
we
can
have
it
posted
to
the
minneapolis.
You
know,
city
website,
I
would
think,
are
there
other
things
that
we
would
like
to
do
with
it
in
terms
of
just
distribution
and
socialization
to
the
broader
public,
and
I'm
wondering
I'm
soliciting
ideas
here.
C
I
would
like
to
share
some
thoughts
on
how
we
might
want
to
socialize
it
when
we
share
it.
On
monday.
A
C
C
F
Lord,
I
was
wondering
once
we
reached
that
point.
Can
we
ask
one
of
the
council
members
to
sign
it
pretty
cool.
C
E
Okay,
is
it
possible
to
mail
this
to
residents
in
this
area,
at
least
around
a
three
mile
radius
or
door
knocking
by
the
commissioners?
F
I
I
think,
that's
a
good
idea,
but
at
the
same
time
do
it
during
covet.
I
don't
know
if
that's
obtainable
right
now
and
I
you
know
I
I
recently
passed
out
6
000
mass
to
some
some
community
members,
and
that
was
one
of
the
barriers.
F
E
C
C
B
C
D
K
Yeah
one
additional
thought
for
socialization:
I
know
we
talked
about
having
the
council
members
sign
on
to
it.
I
wonder
if
I
know
I
believe,
at
least
for
my
ward,
our
council
member
has
kind
of
commun
communications
that
he
sends
out
to
his
constituents.
So
I
wonder
if
there's
a
way
we
can
have
the
council
members
somehow
include
this
in
any
communications
that
they
send
out
to
their
direct
constituents
right
yeah
platforms
as
well
right.
So
if
they
can,
you
know
they
have
their
social
media
platforms
as
well.
K
So
if
they
can
share
that
on
their
platforms,
just
trying
to
leverage
their
their
voice
and
and
kind
of
spreading
that
as
well
perfect.
C
Yeah,
that's
a
great
it's
a
great
one.
Okay,
so
I've
captured
a
list
of
them.
I
think
we
could
run
through
it
on
monday
wondering
if-
and
I
I'm-
I
guess-
I'm
asking
madam
clerk
about
this-
can
we
I'm
assuming
we
are
on
the
agenda
formally
on
the
agenda
for
the
meeting
on
monday
to
share
this
chair?
Lord.
J
Yes,
this
item
is
on
the
agenda
and
we
will
attach
this
statement
to
that
agenda,
as
well
as
to
the
marked
agenda
from
this
meeting.
So
it
will
have
again
greater
public
transparency
and
access.
C
Okay,
that
sounds
great.
Commissioner
staniani,
since
you
were
the
author
of
it
I
mean.
Maybe
I
could
talk
about
the
purpose
of
it,
but
would
you
would
you
like
to
share
it
with
the
commission
and
review
it
with
the
commission.
A
I'd
be
happy
to
talk
it
through,
but
I
mean
this
is
the
this
is
the
version
we're
sharing,
so
you
know
I'm
happy
to
be
the
person
who
introduces
it
and
walks
through
this,
but
I
mean
it's
definitely
a
group
effort
at
this
point.
A
C
I
I
guess,
there's
just
one
last
thing
I
wanted
to
briefly
talk
about.
We
don't
need
to
solve
for
this
in
the
meeting
today,
but
I
have
heart
for
an
additional
communication
that
would
go
to
the
like
city,
council
and
mayor
and
really
be
much
more
aggressive
in
advocating
them
to
prioritize
civil
rights.
C
During
this
time
you
know
and
to
the
idea
commissioner
devenish
had
last
week,
you
know
using
it
as
an
opportunity
to
re-um
remind
them
of
some
of
the
policing
recommendations
that
we
made
in
the
report
that
we
sent
to
the
mayor
and
some
of
the
city
council
members.
C
Is
there
heart
for
this
task
force
to
take
that
on
as
a
second
task-
and
you
know
maybe
continue
meeting
and
have
you
know,
continue
this
task
force
and
have
some
follow-up
conversations
to
craft
a
communication
along
those.
A
F
I'm
sorry,
commissioner,
laura
this
is
commissioner
davis.
What
I
hear
you
saying
is
you
would
like
the
existing
team
members
to
help
contact
our
council
members.
Is
that
what
I
hear
you
saying.
C
No,
no
I'm
I'm
I'm
suggesting
that
we
create
a
second
statement,
a
second
written
communication
that
would
be
targeted
to
the
mayor
and
the
city
council
and
asking
them
to
really
prioritize
civil
rights
in
our
city
and
ask
and
really
make
you
know
a
much
more
aggressive
ask
if
you
will.
C
F
F
A
I
this
commissioner
stanielle.
I
mean
to
the
degree
that
we
want
to
use
gloves
off
language
to
the
commission,
the
council
and
the
the
city.
F
A
F
Once
again,
I'm
I'm
open
to
other
ideas.
I
just
feel
like,
if
we're
saying
one
thing
to
the
community
and
another
to
the
com,
to
our
basically
superiors,
I
kind
of
I
kind
of
see
that
as
not
being
transparent
and
that's
just
my
personal
thought.
C
I
think
that's
a
good
idea
that
makes
sense
to
me
and
see
it,
and
they
may
have
some
additional
ideas
on
content
for
things
that
they
would
want
to
talk
about.
C
C
Okay,
our
member
of
the
public
ashanti
any
last
comments
or
thoughts
from
you.
I
I
really
want
to
thank
you
for
joining
us
today.
It's
your
perspective
was
really
great.
E
Thank
you.
No,
I.
