A
Thank
you,
please
let
the
record
reflect,
we
have
a
quorum.
I
was
asked
by
council
members,
Johnson
and
Ellison
to
express
the
regrets
that
they
won't
be
able
to
be
here
in
person
today,
they're
both
fighting
illness
and
hope
to
be
here
for
Thursday's
meeting.
We
have
two
items
on
the
published
agenda
today,
in
addition
to
our
reports
of
committees
that
have
met
this
cycle,
I
also
just
got
a
item
that
is
before
you
a
request
for
Committee
Action
from
the
attorney's
office,
as
they
are
asking
to
add
this
item
to
the
agenda.
A
It
is
about
an
amicus
brief
and
I
will
ask
the
city
attorney's
office,
who
is
on
their
way
here
to
explain
this
later.
Is
that
how
we
should
do
it
all
right,
I
will
I
I
will
ask
them
to
explain
this
to
us
after
we
dispense
with
the
public
hearing
part
of
our
agenda.
The
first
item
is
the
consideration
of
the
mayor's
nomination
of
Dr
Cedric
Alexander
to
the
appointed
position
of
Commissioner
of
community
safety
for
a
four-year
term.
A
We
are
going
to
be
joined
by
mayor
Jacob
fry
to
have
us
speak
on
behalf
of
this
nomination.
E
A
F
The
importance
of
getting
this
right
has
been
over
a
hundred
years
in
the
making,
and
we
have
that
opportunity
right
now
on
the
campaign.
Trail
I
talked
extensively,
as
did
many
of
you
about
integrating
our
system
of
Public
Safety,
providing
a
comprehensive
approach
and
matching
a
unique
skill
set
with
the
unique
circumstances
happening
on
the
ground,
recognizing
that
police
are
part
of
the
equation,
but
they
are
not
the
only
facet
doing
that
effectively
requires
a
unified
executive,
Command
Staff.
F
F
That
is
exactly
what
I've
charged
Dr
Cedric
Alexander
with
doing.
I
am
appreciative
of
your
time
today,
and
your
deliberation
of
this
particular
nomination
and
I
ask
for
your
support.
Thank
you.
Council
members.
A
Thank
you,
mayor
Frye.
If
there
is
anyone
here
in
the
audience
who
has
not
yet
signed
up,
you
are
welcome
to
see
the
clerk
over
here
at
the
Deus
to
sign
up
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
being
here
today.
I
see,
there's
a
great
deal
of
interest
in
this
nomination.
We've
received
a
lot
of
feedback.
A
My
colleagues
and
I
and
I
appreciate
your
passion
for
making
the
city
as
best
as
it
can
be,
I'm
pleased
to
see
so
much
resident
participation
before
us
and
I
do
see
that
we
have
several.
We
have
five
people
currently
signed
up
at
this
point
in
time.
I
want
to
point
out
that,
unlike
the
other
nominees
to
recently
become
before
us
as
a
council,
Dr
Alexander
is
not
from
Minneapolis
quite
yet.
A
Today,
I
want
to
show
him
that
we
can
have
hard
conversations
in
this
chamber
when
we
need
to,
and
we
can
disagree
when
we
need
to
all
while
maintaining
the
highest
level
of
respect
for
Dr
Alexander
and
for
one
another.
So
at
this
time,
I'm
going
to
proceed
to
open
the
public
hearing
for
the
appointment
of
of
the
public
safety.
Commissioner,
again,
if
you're
not
signed
up
you're
welcome
to
see
the
clerk
to
sign
up,
you
will
each
have
up
to
two
minutes
and
I.
Ask
that
you
begin
by
stating
your
name
for
the
record.
G
Good
morning,
city
council,
good
morning,
mayor
Jacob,
fry
and
good
morning,
Mr
Alexander,
I,
hope
you're
bringing
sunshine
to
our
city
I'm
68
years
old
I
was
born
and
raised
in
Northeast,
Minneapolis
I
know
the
demographics
of
our
area.
I
know
the
demographics
of
our
city,
I
want
to
offer
Mr
Alexander
assistance
in
learning
those
demographics
I
have
extensive
law
enforcement
background.
G
G
G
Let's
learn
to
get
along.
Let's
learn
to
make
things
work
the
right
way.
We
have
good
hearts
in
this
city.
I
helped
build
it
towards
the
end
mayor
fry
knows:
I
was
a
Union
steward
for
the
Carpenters
Union,
a
delegate
to
the
Minneapolis
Regional
Federation
and
the
Building
Trades
I
worked
for
a
security
company
was
when
I
was
a
younger
guy.
G
In
between
my
breaks
and
service
MedStar
Security
Service
Park,
detective
agency,
we
patrolled
the
city
I,
knew
all
parts
of
this
city
I'm,
offering
this
gentleman
a
chance
to
learn
this
and
help
him
out
with
the
law
enforcement
background.
I
have
and
I
also
went
to
Metropolitan
Community
College
for
law
enforcement
and
psychology,
whatever
I
can
do
to
help
him
out.
That's
what
we
need
to
do
and
I
support
the
nomination.
Thank.
H
I
knew
of
Dr
Alexander
by
reputation,
but
the
first
time
I
spoke
with
him.
When
was
when
he
helped
brief.
The
mayor's
Public
Safety
working
group
on
the
police
chief
search
I
recall
telling
him
that
if
we
can't
have
you
can
you
help
us
find
someone
like
you
that
was
in
the
context
of
the
chief
search
and
mayor
fry,
went
one
better
by
recruiting
him
for
this
important
new
job
in
Minneapolis.
H
The
members
of
that
work
group
had
very
different
backgrounds
and
perspectives,
but
came
together
around
calling
for.
As
the
report
reads,
creation
of
a
leadership
position
focused
on
coordination
of
community
related
Community
safety
related
functions
with
the
goal
of
integration
of
these
activities
to
improve
overall
safety
outcomes
for
our
city.
This
position
should
also
provide
a
sounding
board
for
the
mayor,
as
he
fulfills
his
City
Charter
responsibilities.
H
Dr
Alexander
is
extraordinarily
well
qualified
to
play
exactly
that
role.
The
growing
complexity
and
urgency
of
Public
Safety
challenges
in
our
city
requires
the
best
from
all
of
us
who
have
some
responsibility
in
this
area.
I
thank
Lisa,
Clemens,
anguished
comments
earlier
underscored
that,
in
a
very
poignant
way,
Cedric
Alexander
will
be
an
important
new
actor,
bringing
his
years
of
experience.
H
I
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Brenda
short.
I
am
here
because
I
I
kind
of
disagree
and
I
do
not
I'm
not
saying
this.
Man
is
not
right
for
the
job
I'm
saying
we
should
not
throw
so
much
money
at
this
man
who
has
not
been
in
our
city.
This
city
I've,
been
in
the
city
for
over
27
years,
and
I've
been
here
when
it
was
murdererapolis.
I
I
feel
that
if
he
wants
to
do
the
job,
we
can
lower
the
rate
that
he
comes
in
because
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
that's
three
of
our
members
right
here
and
that's
not
fair
to
property
taxes
for
I
am
a
homeowner
and
I
do
not
feel
that
throwing
money
at
a
situation
is
going
to
resolve
the
issue.
We
had
a
shooting
just
as
moments
ago,
and
the
mayor
doesn't
even
think
this
median
is
important
because
he
was
late
to
some.
This
meeting
and
I
think
that's
disrespectful
to
the
citizens
of
Minneapolis.
I
Regardless
of
anything,
we
need
more
than
a
miracle
worker.
We
need
resolutions,
we
need
Justice
to
be
done
and
we
need
safety
on
our
streets
I'm,
not
against
the
police
department.
I
am
for
people
and
our
community
who
work
together
and
I
did
not
say
this.
Man
is
not
here
for
it,
but
I,
don't
think
he
deserves
the
amount
that
we
are
offering
him.
I
If
you
want
that
that
type
of
money
you
need
to
earn
it
give
them
a
lower
level,
we
still
are
82
million
dollars
in
debt
for
Justin,
Diamond's
death,
George,
Floyd's
death,
our
police
department-
and
this
is
ridiculous.
Our
property
taxes
this
year
went
up
twice
as
much
as
the
previous
year,
not
because
my
the
value
of
my
home
went
up
the
city
burned
down
two
years
ago,
we're
trying
to
rebuild
and
I'm
wasting
money,
my
retirement
money
to
pay
for
a
new
man
to
come
in
I,
don't
think
so.
A
J
You
chair,
palmisano
I,
want
to
say
we
we
in
a
situation
here
where
we
were
talking
about
abolish.
We
have
one
side
stand
abolished,
dismantle
we
had
the
other
side
saying
get
a
lot
of
again
more
policing
and
what
and
what
the
African-American
Community
is
getting
is
getting
a
lot
of
depth
and
a
lot
of
the
young
people
going
to
jail,
so
the
the
one
that
was
saying,
let
them
all
out
it.
Ain't
working,
look,
look
at
the
stats
since
George
Floyd
in
2020.
J
They
locking
them
up
they
taking
them
to
federal
prison,
18
19
years
old,
because
we
couldn't
stop
them
because
we
can't
we
can't
get
out
and
say
what
we
need
to
say.
It's
always
political.
When
we're
dealing
with
our
community
I
say
ever
since
we
started
George
Floyd
died
right
after
that
we,
the
unity,
Community
mediation
team,
called
the
justice
department.
J
We've
been
working
with
the
justice
department,
the
human
rights
department
on
a
mediation
agreement,
but
guess
what
we've
been
working
with
the
police
and
I've
been
saying
that
all
the
time
as
a
person
that's
been
victimized
by
the
police
several
times
never
charged
with
nothing.
Never
convicted
of
nothing
but
I
took
them.
Weapons
and
I
I
turned
around
and
said.
Let's.
Do.
Let's
do
this
because
we
need
police
in
our
community.
As
you
just
heard,
what
Lisa
was
saying
just
happened
on
Lyndale
and
Broadway
I
know
we
need
police
in
our
community.
J
You
could
I
could
take
the
hit
to
say
we
need
police
in
our
community,
so
I'm
not
here
to
talk
about
Cedric,
Alexander
I
do
think
he
got
the
credentials.
I
said
the
same
thing:
Steve
Kramer
when
he
was
on
the
interview
committee
to
select
a
new
Chief
and
then
end
up
in
this
position.
So
I'm
not
here
to
a
judge
that
whatever
happens
here,
I
just
want
him
to
know
that
we
we're
in
the
community
fighting
and
you
can't
play
politics.
It
can't
be
politics
what
we
what's
happening
to
us
right
now.
J
You
can't
select
this
group
that
that
ain't
gonna
do
nut
like
your
office
about
this
prevention.
That
say
you
can't
work
with
the
police.
Well,
you
ain't
gonna
solve
the
vitals
I,
don't
care!
If
they're,
my
some
of
my
friends,
you
can't
solve
the
violence.
If
You're
Gonna,
Play,
That
Game,
then
don't
get
into
this
game
because
it's
costing
us
life,
it's
costing
us
life.
It's
costing
us
people
being
in
prison.
To
my
to
my
account
to
councilmember
7th
is
the
people
going
to
jail
right
now,
they're
going
to
prison?
J
Thank
you,
I
want
you
to
know,
and
then
we
got
the
Bible.
So
we
got
to
do
both
in
our
community.
I.
Don't
have
no
choice
but
to
get
up
here
and
say
we
need
the
police.
We
need
the
police
and
we
can
say
that
black
folks,
because
we're
dying
why
they
doing
this
we're
dying,
why
they
don't
come
up
with
the
right
decision,
we're
dying.
Our
people
are
dying
and
going
to
jail.
So
we've
been
working
with
the
mediation
agreement
and
thank
you.
A
J
We
send
it
to
council,
member
Jenkins
and
councilman
Public
Safety
chair
Vito,
the
mediation
agreement
that
we've
been
working
on
with
the
police.
We
don't
need
to
start
all
the
way
over.
We
just
got
to
work
together
to
make
it
happen
and
that's
what
I
came
down
here
to
say.
A
Will
thank
you
I'm
just
trying
to
be
fair
to
everybody
in
the
room.
The
next
person
up
is
Chuck
turchik,
followed
by
Janet
and
I.
Welcome,
Chuck
Chuck.
K
I've
had
one
interaction
with
Dr
Alexander.
Several
years
ago
he
spoke
at
St,
Thomas,
Law
School
and
after
his
talk,
I
asked
him
a
question
and
he
didn't
give
me
the
politically
correct
answer
he
knew
I
was
seeking.
He
didn't
patronize
me.
He
answered
the
question
directly.
Unlike
my
experience
with
elected
officials
in
Minneapolis,
he
simply
told
me
what
the
studies
he
was
familiar
with
up
to
that
time
had
shown.
He
will
be
forthright,
he
won't
tell
you
something
just
because
he
knows
you
want
to
hear
it.
K
My
big
fear
with
disappointment,
though,
is
that
you
may
believe
in
magic
that
Cedric
Alexander
is
a
magician
who's
going
to
solve
policing
problems
in
Minneapolis,
both
police
Behavior
and
the
increase
in
certain
types
of
crime.
The
fact
that
you
want
to
pay
him
nearly
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
says
that
emphatically
and
that
minimizes
the
responsibility
of
elected
officials
and
having
created
the
situation,
something
that
was
pointed
out
in
the
human
rights
Department
findings.
It
minimizes,
if
not
ignores
the
Mayors
and
the
council's
Silence
about
implementing
the
doj's
office
of
Justice
program's
recommendation.
K
One
of
you
even
totally
mischaracterized
that
study
several
times
and
never
corrected
himself.
Your
failure
to
call
for
any
Lessons
Learned
discussions
about
MPD
officer-involved
killings,
something
the
mayor's
own
Community
safety
work
group
has
called
for,
and
your
neglected
making
appointments
to
the
police
contact
oversight.
Commission
you've
made
no
appointments
for
19
months
now,
with
the
commission
being
below
the
minimum
required.
Seven
members,
the
last
11
months
a
daily
and
continuing
violation
of
an
ordinance
you
and
the
mayor
took
an
oath
to
uphold.
K
Yes,
it's
good
to
appoint
competent
people,
but
mayor
fry
likes
to
make
grandial's
public
relations
appointments
with
the
biggest
name
possible
at
a
huge
salary,
hoping
that
they'll
perform
such
magic
to
bail
us
out
of
the
mess
we
and
that
includes
the
city
council,
helped
create
in
the
first
place.
If
you
confirm
this
appointment,
it's
elected
officials
who
are
still
responsible,
don't
forget
that.
L
Hi
I'm,
Janet
and
I
am
of
Ward
6..
What
has
mayor
Frye
done
in
the
last
year
to
bring
the
MPD
under
control?
Now
he
brings
in
someone
who
will
help
the
officers
these
officers,
who
have
prayed
on
the
public
after
George
Floyd's
murder,
who
fired
rubber
bullets
into
the
crowd
of
protesters
at
the
third
precinct,
blinding
in
one
eye
several
journalists
and
causing
the
death
of
a
young
man
who
died
a
year
after
being
shot
the
police
interfered
with
private
citizens
trying
to
put
out
fires.
L
There
are
many
stories
from
credible
Witnesses,
and
these
stories
are
being
collected
for
the
doj
Dr
Alexander
for
a
mind-numbing
salary
will
support
officers
who
apparently
have
not
been
supported
in
the
past.
Really
MPD
officers
make
65
000
per
year
to
start
with
great
benefits
and
lots
of
off-duty
work
as
well.
The
city
regularly
pays
out
huge
settlements
for
lawsuits
against
Rogue
police.
These
officers
are
often
taken
off
the
streets
where
they
rise
in
the
ranks
to
form
our
poisonous
police
culture.
L
Dr
Alexander's
approach
is
to
support
the
officers.
What
is
needed
are
consequences,
including
firing
for
officers
who
disrespect
the
law
and
people's
rights
and
kill
with
impunity.
It
is
ironic
that
law
enforcement
lives
above
the
law.
Our
city
cannot
survive
with
this
kind
of
corruption
and
its
Police
Department
change
or
be
complicit.
Thank
you.
M
Are
you
going
to
judge
us
by
where
we
stand
in
a
time
of
turmoil
and
that's
the
only
reason
why
I'm
gonna
judge
you,
where
you
stand
in
a
time
of
turmoil,
I,
don't
care
if
you
give
them
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
I,
don't
care,
hire
more
cops,
I,
don't
care
what
anybody
in
this
room
say:
I,
don't
care
what
they
think,
because
we
don't
see
any
of
those
same
voices
out
here
in
the
community.
While
we
dodging
bullets
I'm
shaking
inside
my
heart,
I
just
took
my
kids
for
their
swim
lessons
we
do
tutoring.
M
M
And
wrote
right
into
a
shootout,
my
kids
and
I
couldn't
even
move
I
couldn't
even
get
my
car
turned
around
to
get
out
of
there
with
my
kids
in
the
car.
Okay,
let's
be
real
about
what's
happening
in
the
street.
Y'all
could
play
this
little
politics
game
in
here.
All
you
want
to
I'm
telling
you
what's
real
cause.
I
meant
it
I
ran
my
kids
I'm
screaming
to
my
kids.
M
M
All
this
money,
y'all
spending
talking
about
Interrupters
I,
don't
see
them
I,
don't
care
what
anybody
say!
I
ain't
gonna
lie
about
it.
I,
don't
see
them
over
North
anybody
that
say
it
is
you
lying
the
truth,
ain't
in
you,
but
I'm
tired.
My
kids
were
traumatized
today,
eating
McDonald's
in
my
car.
It's
I!
Don't
care
what
you
got
to
pay
them
hire
him.
A
N
I
just
came
from
a
National
Association
of
blacks
and
Criminal
Justice
Conference
in
North
Carolina
and,
interestingly
enough,
once
they
heard
house
from
Minneapolis
the
first
thing
they
said
the
speaker
said:
Cedric
Alexander
is
supposed
to
be
coming
to
Minneapolis
I
got
to
speak
to
several
people.
They
don't
even
live
here.
That
told
me
about
this.
Man
spoke
so
highly
of
you
in
the
work
that
he
does
I
had
already
seen
his
resume.
I
talked
to
him
in
Shiloh,
but
seeing
people
in
the
field
and
people
that
work
in
the
community.
N
He
talked
to
me
about
him
because
they
heard
I
was
from
Minneapolis.
It
won
me
over
I'm,
tired
of
hearing
about
shootings
or
at
least
and
having
to
do
this
with
this
with
her
children
before
coming
here,
look
where
she
is
she's
here
after
we're
just
having
with
her
and
her
children,
dedication,
people
that
are
in
the
field
doing
this
work
I
want
to
hear
Solutions
I
want
to
hear
everyone
come
with
a
solution.
Try
to
hear
no
one
complain,
point
the
figure
at
the
mayor,
all
of
y'all,
whomever
you're
elected.
We
get
that
now.
N
What
what's
the
next
step?
People
in
the
community
are
tired
of
hearing.
Everyone
have
an
excuse
tomorrow,
we're
having
a
public
safety
forum
and
George
Floyd
Square
six
to
nine
I
want
every
election.
That's
coming
to
have
a
solution,
stop
talking
about
who
you're
going
to
blame,
stop
talking
about.
Oh,
this
is
his
this.
That
and
other
I
don't
care
how
much
you
pay
this
man
and
I
live
in
Minneapolis
I
work
in
Minneapolis
I!
Don't
care
how
much
you
pay
him
he's
over
five
departments.
Let's
be
real!
This
is
a
huge
responsibility.
N
He's
not
magic
he's
not
coming
in
to
save
the
day.
He
needs
all
of
our
help,
but
we
need
someone
else
to
come
in
and
do
this
because
everything
we
have
now
is
now
working
so
Solutions.
Everyone
please
come
with
Solutions,
stop
pointing
the
finger.
The
city
council,
I,
sit
there
and
I
watch
y'all
point
the
finger
or
have
a
political
solution
or
a
political,
a
tweet
stop
we're
tired
of
it.
N
I
work
in
the
community
I'm
in
a
foot
on
the
ground
I'm
out
there
every
day,
people
that
know
me
I'm
out
there
every
day
with
my
day,
job
and
everything
else
we're
tired
of
hearing
the
same
thing,
but
I
want
to
work
with
everyone.
I
don't
want
to
say
we
need
police,
we
need
everyone.
We
need
everyone's
voice
on
this,
not
just
one
person.
So
don't
think
we
don't
want
to
work
with
everyone,
but
we
want
to
hear
you
guys
stop
pointing
the
fingers.
N
A
O
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
allowing
me
an
opportunity
to
speak.
I
speak
on
behalf
of
the
community
leaders,
those
that
are
out
here
doing
the
job
and
those
that
are
not
out
here
doing
the
job.
Dr
Alexander
I
had
an
opportunity
to
work
with,
as
I
was
appointed
as
a
member
of
the
Public
Safety
Committee
through
the
mayor
with
Steve
Kramer,
we
met
him
back
in
March.
He
is
absolutely
a
candidate
that
should
get
this
position.
O
We
prayed
for
him
literally,
as
a
team
member
that
was
under
keyword,
was
under
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
There
are
so
many
missing
pieces
inside
of
that
division
that
he
holds
the
answer
to.
He
is
not
a
magic
Wanderer.
He
is
not
the
Great
Oz
He
is
a
man
that
came
to
Shiloh.
That
spoke
to
us
and
said.
O
If
you
stand
with
me
and
in
our
culture,
if
you
run
from
a
fight
you're,
not
standing
I'm,
going
to
fight
this
fight
and
make
sure
this
man
gets
hired
because
I'm
tired
of
living
inside
of
the
wire,
you
guys
want
to
call
George
Floyd
square.
If
you're
not
familiar
with
the
wire,
please
go
home
and
watch
it
tonight.
That
is
what
we
live
in
Daily
inside
of
George
Floyd
square.
That
is
what
I
work
in
Daily
inside
of
George
Floyd
Square
I
offer
my
sincerest
condolences
to
Miss
Lisa,
because
that
is
our
life.
O
A
I
A
P
P
I
think
that
the
sense
of
urgency
that
we
heard
in
her
voice
needs
to
be
internalized
by
every
single
leader
in
a
position
of
authority
within
the
City
of
Minneapolis
I
used
to
live
in
that
area
and
I
have
contacted
City,
Council
Members,
as
well
as
mayor
Frye,
about
the
murder
station,
which
is
the
gas
station
and
merwin's
liquor
right
across
the
street.
Those
two
businesses
are
a
nuisance
in
North,
Minneapolis
and
I.
P
Just
cannot
imagine
any
other
part
of
the
city
having
that
number
of
shootings
and
that
amount
of
Bloodshed
still
being
allowed
to
operate
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis.
There
is
no
reason
why
this
should
be
allowed
to
persist.
We've
had
kids
even
shot
there
in
addition
to
adults,
and
it's
unacceptable.
So
I
I
wanted
to
Echo
what
Lisa
said,
because
it's
a
real
issue,
it's
very
dangerous
and
I.
P
Just
can't
imagine
this
being
allowed
to
happen
in
any
other
part
of
the
city,
so
I
would
urge
city
council
to
take
action
and
shut
down
businesses
that
are
a
nuisance
that
are
attracting
violence
and
murder
in
a
part
of
a
city.
That's
already
vulnerable
and
economically
deprived
now,
I'm
in
support
of
Dr
Alexander
being
appointed
as
the
commissioner
of
Public
Safety
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
P
I,
don't
think
that
we
will
find
someone
of
his
caliber
who
can
take
on
the
task
that
is
at
hand
which
is
helping
to
transform
a
police
department
in
a
system
of
Public
Safety
that
is
seen
in
a
very
negative
light
nationally
and
internationally
into
world-class
institutions.
That's
what
we
need!
We
don't
need
any
more
of
the
status
quo,
I'm
going
to
be
praying
for
Dr
Alexander,
because
I
know
what
it
is
to
come
to
a
city
that
is
seen
as
Progressive.
P
P
P
Alexander
is
one
ingredient
in
all
of
that,
but
it's
going
to
take
each
and
every
one
of
you
stepping
up
to
the
plate,
not
just
when
there
is
a
crisis
but
being
proactive
about
addressing
these
issues
and
bringing
your
hearts
to
the
table,
not
just
positions
and
titles,
but
your
actual
Hearts,
to
transform
what's
happening
in
this
city.
Thank
you.
Thank.
Q
Hi
everybody
doing
first
of
all,
I
want
to
say
I'm,
not
a
professional
speaker
or
activist
so
bear
with
me,
but
I
want
to
say
I'm
thankful
for
what
the
mayor
has
done.
Q
I'm
a
born
and
raised
citizen
of
North,
Minneapolis
and
I
had
a
time
in
life
where
I
felt
like
I,
wasn't
on
the
right
side
of
the
law,
but
then
I
grew
up
and
woke
up
and
realized
how
important
it
was
for
me
to
help
change
those
young
people's
lives
before
they
get
in
situations
that
can
disrupt
and
engage
and
cause
problems
for
other
people.
Q
So
with
seeing
miss
Alexander
here,
I'm
so
thankful
to
see
a
face
in
this
community
I
hate
that
we
have
to
reach
outside
this
community
to
try
to
find
help,
because
we
here
but
I
just
want
to.
Let
this
brother
know
that
we
here
to
work
with
him
and
we
can
get
this
done
and
I
hope
that
you
all
make
the
right
decision.
Thank
you.
R
So
honor
to
be
here
today
yesterday
about
6
30
P.M,
we
encounter
a
Metro
Bus
that
was
rocking
back
in
for
the
63rd
and
Zane,
and
we
ran
from
our
post
ran
towards
the
bus.
It
was
a
man
with
a
knife
stabbing
people
on
the
bus.
R
The
other
person
fled
into
the
apartment
complex,
but
one
person
were
apprehended
and
detained
this
job
that
Dr
Alexander
is
taken
upon.
It's
not
an
easy
job.
R
R
R
I
want
to
say
this
to
you:
Mr
Mayor
the
problems,
one
of
the
major
problems
we
are
having
today
the
guns
on
the
streets.
It's
like
the
police
are
fighting
a
losing
battle,
the
more
guns
that
take
out
the
streets,
the
more
guns
being
poor
into
the
streets.
Last
I
checked,
we
don't
have
a
gum
factory
in
North
Minneapolis,
but
yet,
and
still
it
is
so
easy
to
purchase
a
gun
guns
are
so
accessible
to
kids,
that
their
brain
pattern
have
not
been
formulated
yet
to
think
when
they
are
angry.
R
The
first
thing
to
think
about
is
pulling
the
trigger.
We
need
to
do
something
about
the
God
problem.
We
need
to
do
something
about
the
gun
problem.
We
are
losing
a
generation
of
our
kids,
some
of
these
kids-
that
they're
not
thinking
right
mixed
with
the
drugs,
the
weed
and
what
they're
on
they're
willing
to
shoot
anybody
in
a
second.
But
if
we
can
take
away
the
guns,
if
we
can
really
put
our
effort
of
taking
away
the
guns,
we
will
have
a
major
step
forward
in
this
city.
R
Dr
Alexander
I
was
talking
to
mckeevey
and
you
have
our
support
whatever
you
need
we're
here
to
support
you
today
we
stand
with
you.
We
hope
that
tomorrow,
we're
not
pulling
away
because
of
the
gun.
Violence
is
still
happening,
it's
going
to
take
time
and
we
need
to
be
patient
and
let
this
process
work
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
S
Good
afternoon
and
thank
you
for
having
me
I'm
a
lifetime
resident
of
North
Minneapolis
I'm
involved
in
a
public
safety
here
in
North
Minneapolis
and
just
like
Lisa
had
said
earlier.
I
happened
to
be
driving
down,
Broadway
Also
earlier
to
seemed
to
shoot
out
and
what
I'm
having
a
problem
with
is.
S
We
are
sitting
up
here
talking
about
crime
and
things
that
are
happening
in
our
neighborhoods,
but
nothing
has
changed
and
I've
I've
been
watching
this
man
Dr
Alexander,
listening
to
him,
his
his
prototype
of
what
he's
wanting
to
change
and
looking
for
into
change
in
the
community
and
the
in
the
public
safety
here
is
ideal.
We
need
to
reach
back
reach
to
him,
support
him.
Let
him
know
that
he
has
our
back.
We
have
his
backs
as
long
as
he
has
ours
he's
going
to
be
a
newcomer
to
our
city.
S
A
T
Yes,
ma'am
and
good
afternoon,
and
thank
you
very
much
co-chair
palmisano
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
entire
Council
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here
with
you.
Let
me
start
by
saying
this:
I
had
some
notes,
Here
I
had
scripted,
but
everyone
that
has
come
up
here
before
me.
They
weren't
on
script,
so
I'm
going
off
script
because
I'm
gonna
tell
you
why
that's
important
someone
said
it
earlier
and
I.
T
Think
many
of
you
who
have
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
me
over
the
last
week
or
so
know
that
I'm
pretty
straightforward
and
I'm
going
to
be
very
straightforward
with
you
today
and
I'll,
be
honest
with
you
and
I
made
a
commitment
to
this
community
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
when
I
was
with
the
mayor
and
one
thing:
I'm
not
going
to
do,
I'm
not
going
to
lie
to
you
whether
you
vote
me
up
a
vote
me
down.
T
That's
your
decision,
but
I'm
not
going
to
lie
to
you
and
be
perfectly
honest
with
you
when
I
listen
to
the
people
who
have
just
come
up
here
before
me.
These
people
are
in
a
lot
of
pain,
a
lot
of
trauma
that
still
exists.
It
was
here
before
May,
12th,
25th
or
2020,
and
it's
still
here
now
this
community,
this
great
City
and
the
representatives
that
are
here
in
this
chamber
today.
You
do
a
tremendous
job.
I
feel
your
hearts
and
I
feel
your
willingness
to
want
to
change
things.
T
But
what's
very
touching
to
me,
you
see
here
those
citizens
who
have
come
here.
What
other
position
they
may
have
taken
for
against
I,
really
hear
them
and
I
hear
them
loudly.
But
here's
what's
important.
The
mayor
invited
me
to
come
into
this
city
and
help
with
an
issue
that
he
found
to
be
a
grave
concern.
T
He
picked
up
the
phone
and
he
called
me
one
day.
We
had
a
number
of
conversations.
Yes,
my
reputation
precedes
me:
I've
been
blessed,
I've
been
retired
for
the
last
three
and
a
half
years
still
doing
work.
Still
writing
still
talking
about
public
safety
and
the
importance
of
it
across
our
nation,
still
being
part
of
conversations
and
dialogue
around
police
reform,
which
is
still
hugely
needed.
T
And
at
some
point,
during
the
course
of
our
conversations,
I
agreed
to
go
through
this
process
into
be
part
of
what
the
mayor
had
asked
me
to
be
part
of
here,
and
that's
my
reason
for
being
here
today,
because
when
you
think
about
it,
conceptually
in
terms
of
what
the
mayor
is
proposing,
bringing
all
five
your
Public
Safety
platforms
together,
making
them
integrated
into
each
other
so
that
we
will
have
Public
Safety.
That
just
is
not
about
police,
but
it's
also
about
fire.
It's
about
Emergency
Management!
T
T
It's
new
to
this
community
I've
been
a
public
safety
director
before
I
spent
four
years
in
one
of
the
busiest
counties
in
this
country
right
there
in
metro,
Atlanta,
DeKalb,
County,
Georgia
I
know
how
to
do
this.
Job
I've
had
successes
in
it
and
I've
had
failures
in
it,
but
without
the
failures
I
had
I
would
not
have
learned
how
to
do
it
better.
T
The
next
time
around,
even
though
my
intent
was
not
to
ever,
do
it
again,
but
here
we
are
and
what
I'm
offering
you
is
40
years
of
experience
that
it's
going
to
allow
me
to
bring
these
four
five
I
should
say
platforms
together,
so
that
they
can
work
together.
They
can
be
creative
and
idealistic
together.
T
They
have
an
opportunity
in
this
community
to
be
able
to
share
information,
because
if
the
ovp
has
not
been
working
with
your
Police
Department
in
the
past,
I
promise
you
they
will
be
in
the
future
because,
quite
frankly,
they
share
more
in
common
than
they
do
differences.
We
know
in
this
age
a
Reformation.
At
this
very
moment
we
got
to
move
policing
forward.
That's
what
you
all
told
me,
those
of
you
I
met
with
individually
I,
want
to
advance
policing.
I
want
to
see
policing
have
a
great
relationships
with
people
in
this
community.
T
We
want
to
move
past
George
Floyd.
We
got
to
look
into
the
future.
We
know
we
need
reforms.
We
know
that
we
got
systematic
issues
within
our
own
Public
Safety
platforms
and
I'm.
Here
to
help
you
do
that,
no
I'm,
not
God
I'm,
not
Batman,
I'm,
not
going
to
be
the
guy
that
saves
the
community
in
and
of
itself
by
myself.
It's
really
going
to
take
all
of
us
to
be
able
to
do
that
and
that's
what
I'm
am
here
for
and
that's
the
only
reason
I
came
to
Minneapolis
I,
don't
know
nobody
here.
T
T
You
are
a
city,
that's
on
that's
in
that's
in
everybody's
conversation
across
this
country
around
this
globe,
you're
still
that
City
you're
still
that
City
the
dust
hadn't
settled
yet
around
George
Floyd.
T
That's
the
self-defeating
question.
It
demonstrates
to
me
that
people
some
people
have
given
up,
but
there's
nothing
to
give
up.
You
have
more
than
all
the
reason
in
the
world
to
stand
up
and
show
the
rest
of
the
country
in
the
world
that
we
can
be
that
City
in
that
incident
does
not
define
who
we
are.
That's
what
I
was
called
to
help
you
do.
T
An
operative
word
here
is
help
you
do
because
I
cannot
do
it
alone,
but
here's
what
I
know
I
can
do
I
lead.
That's
what
I
do
I
got
a
40-year
record
that
shows
that
I,
don't
minimize
it.
I
am
a
leader
in
my
job.
If
you
choose
to
give
it
to
me,
my
job
will
be
to
lead
to
help
us
move
forward
to
help
us
design
and
redesign
this
Police
Department
in
public
safety,
where
it
is
working
together
for
the
better
benefit
of
the
people
who
are
in
this
room
and
across
this
entire
city.
T
T
T
T
T
I
promise
you
that
I'm
here,
because
I
believe
in
this
country
and
I
believe
in
this
city
and
I
believe
in
you
and
I
met
some
wonderful
people
on
this
Council
who
have
different
views
and
different
ideas
and
different
philosophies.
But
that
is
what
make
you
great.
That's
what
make
you
a
great
City,
but
we
have
people
to
450
000
people
in
this
community
that
is
diverse,
different
thoughts,
different
ideas,
not
just
in
terms
of
gender
and
sexual
orientation,
but
how
people
think
that's
the
beauty
of
that
diversity
as
well.
T
T
T
Then
we
think
not
we
do
I've
had
the
business
Community
downtown
reach
out
to
me.
They
want
to
do
whatever
it
takes.
I've
had
people
from
the
north
end
of
town
to
the
south
end
of
town
reach
out
to
me.
I,
don't
even
know
how
they
got
my
phone
number,
but
they
got
it
because
people
just
want
to
be
involved.
They
want
to
jump
on
board,
they
want
to
be
part
of
something
different.
T
They
want
change
in
their
Public
Safety
platform
and
they
definitely
want
change
in
their
Police
Department
and
the
only
way
we
effectuate
change
is
that
we
have
to
be
willing
to
do
something
different.
We
have
to
be
willing
to
take
some
risk,
but
here's.
What
I
will
not
do
I
will
not
come
here
and
be
part
of
the
status
quo.
T
But
if
you
ain't
down
with
that,
I
won't
be
here
unless
we're
going
to
effectuate
change
and
that's
all
I'm
going
to
say
about
that
and
I'm
willing
and
open
to
entertain
any
questions
that
you
have
about
me,
my
profession,
my
background
or
any
of
these
other
questions
that
have
come
up
more
recently
that
have
questioned
my
Integrity
over
the
last
40
years,
so
I
yield
back
to
you
co-chair
palmisano.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
U
U
I
I
do
want
to
just
acknowledge
the
the
Deep
pain
that
Ms
Clemens
brought
into
the
space,
which
I
think
reflects
the
trauma
and
the
pain
that
each
and
every
one
of
us
feels
on
this
Council
in
this
room
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
the
the
level
and
the
intensity
of
violence
in
our
communities
is
overwhelming
and
we
13
14
people
certainly
have
a
role
and
a
responsibility
in
that.
But
each
and
every
one
of
us
in
this
city
has
a
role
to
play
in
addressing
that
issue
as
well.
U
That
being
said,
and
and
also
I
I
want
to
thank
everybody
who
who
came
and
spoke
there,
their
own
truth
and
brought
their
their
issues
and
their
willingness
to
stand
with
us
to
stand
with
Dr
Alexander
to
help
bring
our
city
to
the
place
where
we
know
we
can
be,
and
we
know
we
deserve
to
be
that
said,
Dr
Alexander,
I'm
I'm
wondering,
if
confirmed
what
do
you
see
as.
T
Answer
that
for
you
and
thank
you
very
much
chair
Jenkins
for
that
question
and
it's
a
fair
question.
It's
a
good
question
years
ago,
when
I
was
training
as
a
psychologist,
we
were
taught
oftentimes.
People
would
come
to
you
as
a
therapist
as
a
psychology
with
a
multitude
of
issues
when
they
walk
into
your
office,
it
may
not
have
one
presenting
problem.
It
may
have
a
number
of
presenting
problems
and
the
question
was
to
my
professors:
doing
my
training
was:
where
do
I
start
and
Professor
told
me
start
anywhere
just
get
started.
T
T
T
Help
them
work
through
whatever
their
field.
Their
challenges
and
ideas
are
about
Public
Safety,
because
I
can't
give
you
a
plan
until
I
know
what
you
have
in
play
at
this
very
moment.
What
are
the
plans
right
now
in
this
moment
and
tomorrow,
and
these
are
the
conversations
intimately
I'm
gonna?
Have
it
with
each
one
of
those
department?
Heads
will
be
there
to
support
them,
but
I
know
this.
We
got
to
challenge
ourselves
differently.
T
We
got
to
ask
new
questions
in
the
conversation,
cannot
start
with
we're
down
200
officers.
We
all
know
that
conversation
has
to
be
quite
frankly.
How
do
we
work
with
what
we
have?
How
do
we
Inspire
550
men
and
women
in
our
Police
Department,
hundreds
of
men
and
women
are
in
men
and
women
at
our
fire
department?
How
do
we
Inspire
them
to
keep
their
heads
up
and
to
keep
moving
forward?
T
T
That's
what
I
want
to
know
from
each
one
of
those
department.
Heads
I
want
to
hear
what
demonstrated
successes
they've
had
in
the
last
quarter
last
three
months
last
six
months
and
I
need
to
know
what
they
see
the
plans
being
towards
the
future
and
I
can
help
them
craft.
That
remember
this
road
that
I'm
proposing
to
be
in
my
job
is
to
see
to
it
that
it
gets
done.
T
Why
do
I
need
fire
chief
right,
I'm
there
to
give
them
support
that
they
need
and
find
ways
for
us
to
reduce
crime?
Keep
this
community
safe,
bring
those
platforms
together
so
that
they
can
work
together
and
find
and
create
new
ideas.
We
cannot
fight
crime
in
the
21st
century.
We
cannot
build
relationships
in
the
21st
century.
We
cannot
Advance
policing
in
the
21st
century
if
we're
using
20th
century
techniques
and
we're
still
using
20th
century
techniques
in
some
places.
V
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president
I
too.
First
just
want
to
acknowledge
Lisa
Clements,
because
I
was
on
the
phone
with
her
I
was
so
shocked
to
see
her
here.
She
her
and
her
children
were
just
so
traumatized
in
that
car
and
she
what
she
said
is
exactly
what
we're
faced
with
here.
You
know
parents
worried
about
their
children
just
riding
in
their
cars
down
the
street,
and
so
Lisa
is
a
friend
I
love,
her
I'm.
So
sorry
that
she
had
that
experience
today,
yeah
and
I
heard
it.
V
She
was
calling
to
find
out
what
time
she
needed
to
be
here
to
come
and
speak
about
Dr,
Alexander's
appointment
and
just
out
of
the
blue.
That
happened.
So
if
Lisa
is
around
or
listening
sorry
Lisa
that
you
had
that
experience
and
I
know
that
every
single
one
of
us
here
on
this
council
is
committed
to
making
sure
and
the
mayor
is
committed
to
making
sure
that
no
one
has
that
type
of
experience.
V
Just
a
couple
questions.
Thank
you
so
much
Dr
Alexander
for
the
presentation,
I
love
that
you
acknowledge
that
9-1-1
needs
some
help.
The
call
center
needs
some
help
because,
as
you
know,
that's
something
that's
greatly
important
to
me.
I,
you
know,
I
know
we
need
Staffing,
and
so
in
so
many
areas
here,
but
I
think
it's
going
to
go
a
little
further
than
Staffing
you
kind
of
touched
on
it
with
knowing
that
the
numbers
are
down.
V
T
Know
that's
hugely
important
one
of
the
essence
of
leadership
council
person
Vitas.
This
is
that
we
got
to
be
able
to
inspire
people.
Brother
you've
got
a
thousand
people
or
whether
you
got
10
people
on
your
team.
We
got
to
be
able
to
inspire
each
other.
That's
the
essence
of
true
relationship,
because
here's
the
thing
about
9-1-1.
Let's
talk
about
that
very
specifically
for
a
moment,
if
you
don't
mind,
allow
me
to
indulge
myself.
T
We
know
I
know
that
in
this
country
many
police
departments
struggle
with
keeping
and
maintaining
and
retaining
good
9-1-1
operators.
It
is
one
of
the
most
stressful
professions
on
this
planet
truly
I'm,
not
just
talking
anecdotally
but
I'm.
Talking
about
what
the
literature
tells
us,
I
saw
it
at
DeKalb,
County,
Georgia,
Metropolitan
County.
We
struggle
with
maintaining
the
level
of
911
operators
we
need
and
that
we're
responding
to
calls.
You
can
go
to
Atlanta
Georgia.
The
city
itself
right
now
same
struggle,
many
of
your
major
cities
across
this
country.
T
Because
of
the
death
in
the
level
of
calls
for
service
the
types
of
calls
of
service
that's
being
answered,
it
is
human
it.
It
creates
a
great
deal
of
stress
and
Trauma
is
placed
on
9-1-1
operators
and
not
to
even
mention
the
training
itself
is
very
tough
and
very
rigorous
because
we
lose
a
lot
of
people
in
the
process
just
going
through
the
9-1-1
training.
T
But
one
of
the
most
important
things
that
we
can
do
is
that
leaders
myself
and
those
five
CEOs
of
their
are
responsible
for
the
areas
of
responsibility,
those
two
chiefs
and
those
three
directors.
They
have
a
responsibility
too,
to
inspire
their
people,
even
when
it
looks
like
it's
at
its
worst.
What
value
added,
if
I,
just
throw
my
hands
up
and
say?
Oh,
this
is
just
too
much.
We
don't
have
enough
people.
T
T
I
got
to
go
down
and
see
how
they
work,
how
they
live.
What
their
life
is
like
I
need
to
look
in
their
eyes,
because
they're
16
18
hours
into
the
job.
You
know
that
council
person
be
Tom.
You
know
that
yourself,
you've
been
down
there
enough,
because
they
too
are
in
pain.
They
too
are
dealing
with
trauma
and
they,
like
everybody
else,
excuse
me.
T
They
too
themselves
have
families
and
loved
ones
in
their
own
personal
issues
going
on
in
their
own
personal
lives
like
we
all
do,
but
we
got
to
support
them.
I
know
we're
down
significantly
there
and
9-1-1,
but
one
of
the
most
important
thing
we
can
do
is
inspire
people
and
remind
them
how
important
a
job
it
is
that
they
do
in
every
opportunity
that
we
can
give
them
something
we
give
them
to
them.
We
give
them
something,
and
it
ain't
always
about
money
either.
T
It's
just
about
acknowledging
the
fact
that
somebody
cares
about
what
I
do.
That's
it,
the
soldier
that
goes
to
war
and
fight
for
this
country
on
the
battlefield,
the
police
officer.
That's
out
there
right
now,
putting
him
or
herself
at
risk
the
firefighter
that's
going
into
a
burning
building,
but
then
it's
not
just
about
the
money.
T
It's
about
somebody
saying
thank
you.
We
appreciate
you.
We
acknowledge
you
we're
here
to
support
you,
that's
what
we
have
to
do,
because
we
struggle
in
a
lot
of
places.
911
is
one
of
them
in
our
Police.
Department
is
one
of
them.
We
still
got
to
encourage
these
men
and
women
to
come
to
work
every
day
we
ought
to.
Let
them
know
that
the
work
that
they
do
is
important
and
what
our
expectations
is
of
them.
Every
day.
T
V
The
question:
thank
you,
Doctor
one
last
question:
you
know:
I'm
I'm
just
excited
that
so
many
people
from
the
community
came
today
to
be
a
part
of
this
public
hearing
and
I'm.
Just
wondering.
What's
your
plan
to
involve
people,
you
know
you
hear
everyone
saying
like
I
want
to
be
a
part
of.
T
V
I'm
just
wondering:
what's
your
you
know,
what's
the
plan,
how
are
you
going
to
communicate
with
folks
so
that
they
can
help,
as
they've
clearly
stated,
that
they
want
to
do
and.
T
I've
had
all
aspects
of
this
community
to
reach
out
to
me
in
people
from
the
community
from
every
side
of
town.
I
only
know
two
North
Dallas
I
mean
North
Minneapolis
and
South
Minneapolis,
and
everything
in
between
including
downtown
Northeast.
Okay,
let
me
get
this
right.
North
south
Southeast,
Southwest,
Northeast,
Northwest
I,
didn't
miss
anybody
right,
okay,
because
I
don't
want
to
miss
anyone
and
someone
feel
that
they're
left
out,
but
on
a
very
serious
note,
there
are
people
in
this
community.
T
Everyone
wants
to
be
involved
and
I
want
people
who
are
telling
me
what
they
want
to
be
involved.
We
got
to
figure
out
what
it
is
that
people
can
do
and
are
willing
to
do,
because
when
people
come
to
me
and
say,
I
want
to
be
involved
when
downtown
businesses
say
to
me:
I
want
to
be
involved,
Dr
Alexander.
We
are
ready.
What
can
I
do?
I
got
to
answer
that
call
because
it
isn't
going
to
be
people
in
this
community,
our
downtown
partners,
the
heartthrob
of
our
economic
engine
in
this
city.
T
In
this
state,
we
got
to
make
sure
that
everyone
has
an
opportunity
to
be
involved
and
to
take
part
in
this,
and
people
are
asking
to
take
part
in
it.
They're
calling
me
all
the
way
in
Florida
and
asking
to
take
part
in
it
and
I'm
going
to
find
a
role
for
all
of
us
to
play,
because
it
truly
the
only
way
that
we're
going
to
get
where
we
want
to
go,
and
that
is
to
be
one
of
the
safest
cities
in
this
country.
That
is
to
get
past
what
occurred
two
years
ago.
W
Do
want
to
thank
everyone
who
came
today
from
the
community
to
speak
to
us
and
also
to
Dr
Alexander
I
had
a
opportunity
to
invite
con
Dr
Cedric
to
my
community
to
teach
him
our
culture
and
the
South
Minneapolis,
which
part
I
might
represent,
and
I
really
appreciate,
and
you
know
his
experience
and
his
knowledge,
and
also
the
leadership
and
being
as
straightforward
as
you
talk
on
your
Speech
I
do
have
a
couple
questions
I
want
to
ask
I
our
conversation
was
about
recruitment
and
making
sure
that
people
from
the
community
are
police
in
our
community.
W
People
from
the
minority
community
that
live
here
are
are
the
leadership
of
the
city.
When
it
comes
to
policing
community.
Has
the
police
officers
has
to
reflect
from
the
community?
We
talked
about
the
challenges
of
recruiting
and
attracting
more
minority
officers,
and
first
question
is:
how
do
you
address
that
and
second,
what
do
you
need
from
us
from
the
council
succeed
for
your
job
and
making
sure
the
city,
our
city?
Actually
the
per
thing
that
will
succeed
is
our
city.
W
T
You
well
thank
you
councilman
Osman,
but
when
I
reflect
back
on
our
interaction
there
in
the
community
in
which
you
represent
sitting
there
in
that
Somali
restaurant
being
exposed
to
a
food
that
I
never
had
an
opportunity
to
be
exposed
to
before
it
was
an
enjoyable
moment
for
me
and
and
I
mean
that
sincerely
I'm
not
just
saying
that.
But
as
we
talked
about
on
that
day,
we
talked
about
the
importance
of
each
one
of
our
Public
Safety
platforms
representing
the
diversity
of
this
community.
T
T
The
numbers
has
actually
been
has
been
challenged
over
the
last
number
of
years,
but
it's
only
been
really
brought
to
light
posts.
The
riots
in
2020
in
this
country,
but
I
think
here's
what
has
to
happen.
We're
going
to
have
to
find
new
and
innovative
ways
to
recruit
today,
and
one
thing
you
and
I
had
talked
about
sitting
right
there
in
that
restaurant.
T
We
can
have
portals
set
up
where
Community
to
come
and
respond
right.
We
talked
about
that.
We
bring
now
what
we
have
to
do
today.
We
can't
wait
for
people
to
come
to
us.
We
got
to
go
out
to
them.
I
was
at
a
national
conference
this
past
weekend
in
Orlando
talking
to
a
police
captain
of
a
small
community
there
right
outside
of
Atlanta
Alpharetta
Georgia,
and
he
stated
to
me
you
know
what
we've
done
Alexander.
T
We
now
take
a
whole
testing
process
across
the
country,
so
in
other
words,
we
went
to
X
City.
We
bought
billboard
space,
we
did
advertisements
Alpharetta,
Police
Department
is
going
to
be
in
your
community
between
these
dates.
We're
going
to
offer
the
exam,
we
got
a
high
school
where
we're
going
to
do
the
Physical
Agility
by
the
being
about
a
bank,
whatever
your
state
will
allow
you
to
do,
and
that
varies
from
state
to
state.
T
But
imagine
now
you
go
into
a
community
where
there's
opportunities
to
recruit
and
you
take
the
process
to
them,
because
people
don't
necessarily
have
the
ability
or
the
money
to
come
to
where
you
are
right
and
we
do
the
same
thing
in
and
around
your
local
community.
But
we
got
to
be
willing
to
take
the
recruitment
process
out
to
the
people
we're
trying
to
recruit
across
this
entire
community,
and
you
and
I
talked
about
that
and
you
and
I
are
going
to
do
that
whoever's
sitting
in
that
role,
you
remind
them.
T
That
is
something
that
can
be
done
and
should
be
done
because
how
we
recruit
today,
we
truly
have
to
do
something
different.
We
just
can't
post
it
online
put
an
advertisement
on
television.
We
really
got
to
become
more
creative
and
more
aggressive
because
it
is
hugely
challenged
to
get
those
numbers
and
there's
a
lot
of
competition
going
on
between
departments
where
they
have
in
wage
Wars.
Who
can
pay
the
most
money?
Who
can
pay
the
highest
retention
bonus
and
the
thing
about
retention
bonuses?
T
X
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
Dr
Alexander
you've
answered
my
questions
about
recruiting.
Thank
you.
Councilmember
Osmond
and
I
appreciate
your
remarks
about
inspiring
our
employees.
That's
you're
spot
on
with
that.
I
also
appreciate
the
wisdom
and
experience
that
you're
bringing
to
this
job.
So
I
want
to
welcome
you
and
As
you
move
forward.
Your
straight
talk
is
very
much
appreciated.
We
have
to
be
honest
and,
as
you
saw
today
with
so
many
members
of
the
public
here,
there
are
thousands
and
thousands
of
people
that
are
here
to
help
you
with
your
job.
X
You
are
right,
you
cannot
do
this
alone
and
I
personally
want
to
pledge
my
help
and
the
residents
of
the
Third
Ward
I
will
be
voting
for
you.
I
hope
you
passed
the
audition
and
thank
you
so
much
for
considering
accepting
this
very,
very
difficult,
but
yet
very
important
position.
Thank
you.
So
much
count
on
me
to
help
you
thank.
T
You
councilmember
rain,
veal
and
I
just
want
to
share
with
everyone
here
that
my
feet
still
hurt
from
them
four
hours
of
walking.
You
had
me
doing
a
few
weeks
back
literally,
but
thank
you
very
much,
sir.
You.
X
A
Dr
Alexander
I
think
you
need
a
pair
of
those
gym
shoes
that
keeps
Council
membraneville
on
his
toes
running
around
every
day
council
member
wansley
is
next.
Y
Y
Y
Those
demands
have
not
been
taken
seriously
here
in
City
Hall
and
now
we're
finally
getting
serious
about
creating
a
department
that
actually
does
that
that
centralizes
and
coordinates
all
of
our
Public
Safety
Services,
but
I've
also
been
very
consistent
and
I
want
to
voice
this
again
that
it
is
illogical
to
appoint
someone
as
a
head
of
an
office
before
we
determine
what
the
programs
will
be.
That's
going
to
be
included
in
that
office,
so
Dr
Alexander.
You
know
this
process
is
not
about
you
as
an
individual.
Y
It
is
a
backwards
process
that
we're
utilizing
right
now.
As
mayor
fry
restructures,
his
government
and
it's
one
that
was
affirmed
last
November
when
we
had
62
000
people
who
voted
on
question
two
and
said
very
explicitly
plain
and
clear.
They
wanted
a
plan
for
Public
Safety.
Y
So
we
won't
be
able
to
really
evaluate
your
success
in
this
position,
because
the
city
has
failed
to
do
the
one
thing
that
equip
you
with
that
success
and
basically
articulate
a
plan
of
what
those
metrics
of
success
will
be.
That
is
our
responsibility.
Y
That's
the
responsibility
of
the
mayor,
but
you
are
here
and
my
first
question
to
you
is
knowing
the
last
year
we
had
a
black
police
chief
that
had
respect
the
months,
his
Rank
and
file
members
in
MPD
credibility
and
Trust
within
the
community,
and
even
when
I
spoke
to
you,
when
you
were
in
the
National
Police
Chief
search
noted
that
this
man
is
nationally
recognized,
he's
being
recruited
or
has
been
recruited
by
law
enforcement
agencies
all
across
the
U.S,
and
even
with
that
amount
of
expertise
and
respect
within
the
community.
Y
He
still
found
it
impossible
to
reign
in
MPD
and
transform
them
transform
them
into
an
institution
that
the
public
could
trust.
So
I
would
like
to
know
what
skill
sets.
What
tools,
what
specific
plans
are
you
planning
to
bring
to
MPD
into
this
overall
Department?
That's
different
from
the
tools
that
you
even
know
that
you
are
nationally
respected,
police
chief,
former
police
chief
chief
Rondo
could
not
use
or
utilize
in
the
same
manner
during
his
tenure.
Yes,.
T
Ma'am
well,
thank
you
for
the
question,
but
let
me
start
by
saying
this
is
that,
in
spite
of
the
challenges
that
Minneapolis
Police
Department
is
struggling
with-
and
we
know
they're
struggling,
but
a
number
of
challenges
and
I
hear
you
saying
that
council
member
Wesley
very
clearly
right,
but
their
Department,
that
is
not
hopeless.
T
Their
Department,
quite
frankly,
I
truly
think
is
that
it's
ready
or
will
be
ready,
can
be
ready
under
the
right
leadership
to
change
and
to
do
better.
I
truly
believe
that,
and
what
kind
of
leader
is
that
going
to
take
I
can't
speak
to
your
previous
Chief,
never
met
him,
don't
know
him
other
than
the
fact
that
he
was
Chief
in
this
city,
but
I
would
share
with
you
from
my
own
experience.
T
Why
I
believe
that
this
police
department
has
the
ability
to
do
the
job
that
I
think
people
want
from
it
and,
quite
frankly,
I
believe
it
all
starts
with
leadership,
because
what
my
attitude
may
happen
to
be
has
also
has
the
beat
attitude
of
the
chief
right
on
down
to
the
last
person
hired
I,
believe
my
tone
and
my
tenor.
My
Philosophy.
T
To
make
sure
when
we
talk
reform
when
we
talk
change,
that
is
something
that's
going
to
be
positive
in
nature.
We
want
to
see
better
police
and
Community
relationships.
We
just
don't
want
to
see
more
training.
We
want
to
see
training
that
is
also
is
accomplished
by
a
compass.
A
is
part
of
our
evaluation
process.
It's
one
thing
to
send
me
to
any
type
of
training.
T
That's
how
you
invoke
change.
It
can't
just
be
a
line
written.
It
has
to
have
some
meat
to
it.
It
has
to
have
some
substance
to
it.
We
can't
just
say
that
we
have
a
duty
to
report
policy
with
that
policy.
There
also
need
to
be
that
if
anyone
does
report
a
rebu
abuse,
that's
a
police
officer
that
that
person
will
not
also
be
retaliated
against,
but
it's
not
just
a
policy,
but
it's
the
enforcement.
T
T
What
I'm
looking
for
is
to
make
sure
that
we
do
it
the
right
way,
constitutionally,
legally
ethically,
but
I
have
no
allegiance
to
anybody
except
doing
what
is
right
by
the
citizens
of
this
community
and
doing
it
fairly
and
justly
so.
I
can't
speak,
but
my
you
know
to
to
your
previous
Chief,
but
what
I
can
speak
to
is
that
under
my
watch
and
I
have
a
track
record
of
change
everywhere.
I've
been
asked
to
come,
it
was
always
something
about
change.
T
Did
I,
leave
it
perfect!
No,
but
I
leave
it
better.
I
think
so,
and
I
think
my
record
speaks
for
itself.
But
here
again,
what's
important
is
how
we
lead
from
the
top.
That's
what's
hugely
important
and
you
got
men
and
women
in
that
Police
Department
who
want
better.
They
want
to
do
well,
I'm,
anxious
to
meet
them.
Y
Y
Think
many
of
you
know
our
predecessors
on
the
council
mayor
as
well
as
some
of
the
folks
who
are
still
here
really
thought
and
felt
Chief
Rondo
someone
who
was
charged
with
that
task
of
some
of
what
we're
asking
you
to
do
is
completely
transformed,
lead
this
process
of
Transforming
Our,
Public,
Safety
and
I'm
glad
that
you're,
starting
to
tease
out
what
you
think
about
you
know
these
differences
of
leadership.
That's
needed
in
this
moment
with
also
leadership,
comes
a
great
deal
of
accountability
and
responsibility
and
I.
Y
Is
the
biggest
piece
that
has
been
absent,
and
you
also
know
that
this
you
know
you're
being
appointed
by
mayor
Frye.
This
is
not
an
elected
position.
Unlike
us,
you
know,
residents
can
hold
us
accountable
at
The,
Ballot
Box.
They
won't
be
able
to
do
that
with
you,
so
based
off
of
some
of
the
plans
or
the
visions
that
you're
thinking
about
these
markers
of
success
for
for
this
department,
let's
say
a
year
from
now,
you
know:
community
members
are
still
feeling
the
same
anguish
that
we
heard
earlier
today.
Y
T
E
T
He
has
to
make
that
assessment
of
me
just
as
I
make
assessment
that
those
are
that
directly
report
to
me
we're
not
going
to
see
in
a
year
everything
all
of
a
sudden
turn
360
Degrees.
We
agree
with
that.
But
can
we
do
this?
Can
we
note
of
some
positive
changes
that
we
all
can
point
to
and
I
think
that's
what
that's
what's
important?
Can
we
point
to
changes?
Can
we
point
to
the
fact
that
citizens
in
our
community
feel
and
sense
and
can
report
something
different
right?
T
Can
we
recognize
the
fact
that,
even
in
spite
of
the
number
of
personnel
shortages
that
we
have
that
we
still
are
creating
new
ideas
as
to
how
to
build
relationships
and
fight
crime
with
what
we
have
and
how
do
we
look
at
reform?
Two
things
are
going
to
be
critically
important
to
fight
crime
going
forward,
particularly
with
the
number
of
shortages
that
you
have
in
your
Police
Department.
One
I
think
you
will
resonate
with
and
one
to
me
is
the
most
important
we
got
to
build
relationships
in
our
communities.
T
That's
one
of
the
greatest
ways
to
fight
crime.
You've
got
to
have
relationships
in
your
community.
It
is
hugely
important
if
you
have
a
dismal
if
you
have
a
homicide
rate
that
is
above
average
for
any
City
your
size,
but
you'll
close
your
rate
is
dismal
in
terms
of
closing
those
cases
below
the
national
average.
T
As
an
indication
to
me
that
you
don't
have
relationships
in
your
community,
because
when
you
have
relationships
in
those
communities
that
are
challenged
with
that
type
of
violence,
people
will
make
themselves
relatively
available
anonymously
if
necessary,
but
they
feel
a
sense
of
confidence.
They
feel
a
sense
that
somebody
that's
doing
this
police
job
is
treating
people
in
my
community
fairly
and
equitably
and
I
trust
them
and
I'm
going
to
share
with
them
even
anonymously.
Here's
what
I
know
that
is
a
fact.
T
Y
Y
The
second
question
that
I
well
third
question
I
have
is,
and
you
kind
of
touched
on
this,
you
know
I've
heard
you
talk
about
some
of
the
programs
that
you
imagine
or
that
has
been
outlined.
You
know
in
the
office
of
community
safety.
You
know
your
concerns
around
strengthening
9-1-1,
the
office
of
emergency
management
and
then
MPD
I,
think
the
most
important
or
also
exciting
component
of
this
is
also
our
ability
as
a
city
to
grow
some
of
our
restorative
and
preventative
Services,
I.
Y
Think,
as
many
folks
have
named
in
this
space,
you
know
we
should
be
doing
everything
that
we
can
to
prevent.
You
know
Lisa
Clemens
and
our
flowers
folks,
in
this
room
of
having
to
go
and
be
in
the
the
swarm
of
bullets,
we
should
be
doing
everything
proactively
to
make
sure
that
those
conditions
are
not
happening
to
begin
with.
So
this
is
the
area
where
I
know
Dr
off
Telly
has
noted.
You
know
this
is,
should
be
a
priority
for
this
new
office
of
community
safety
and
also
residents
again
the
62
000.
Y
More
than
62
000,
who
came
out
last
November
also
wanted
to
see
the
city
go
in
this
direction.
So
can
you
share
and
there's
three
components
of
this
question
I'm
more
than
happy
to
repeat
them,
because
that
is
three.
So
can
you
share
your
experience
in
developing
and
expanding
the
workforce
for
preventative
and
restorative
programs?
I'll
start
with
that.
That's
the
first
question
and
then
second
one.
If
you
can
also
speak
to
your
experience
of
incorporating
Public
Safety
Services
for
community
members
who
are
unhoused.
T
T
T
We
got
to
develop
programs
today
that
keeps
them
from
ever
getting
into
trouble
and
we're
going
to
have
to
use
our
imagination,
we're
going
to
have
to
look
across
the
country
and
see
what
works
in
other
cities
and
what
has
not
worked
in
other
cities.
So
that
is
what's
hugely
important.
Another
thing
we
also
have
to
keep
in
mind.
Our
Generations
are
going
up
growing
up
so
fast
and
so
close
together.
T
What
might
work
with
one
generation
of
young
people
may
not
work
with
another
generation
of
young
people,
because
what
are
we
seeing
more
and
more
in
younger
people
today
that
commit
crimes
they're
much
more
violent
and
they're,
far
more
Brazen
than
ever
before,
particularly
in
my
generation
and
probably
particularly,
if
you're,
six
seven
eight
ten
years
out,
so
we
got
to
constantly
be
looking
at.
Who
is
it
that
we're
serving?
Who
is
it
that
we're
trying
to
serve?
How
do
we
think
about
putting
together
programs?
T
That's
gonna
that
you
know
that's
going
to
be
there
as
a
preventative
measure
and
I
can't
tell
you
specifically
what
they
are,
but
here's
what
I
know
I
can
do.
Is
there
maybe
maybe
some
other
cities
across
this
country
who
might
be
able
to
help
us
answer
that
question,
but
I
can
also
tell
you
this.
Virtually
every
major
city
in
this
country
is
struggling
with
the
same
thing.
We're
struggling
here.
I
can
tell
you
that
is
a
fact.
T
Uptick
in
crime
they're
becoming
you
younger
and
younger
in
their
violence,
and
how
do
we
get
to
them
and
just
pose
they're
trying
to
give
them
something
after
they
commit
these
these
crimes
or
get
involved
in
some
criminal
activity?
What
can
we
do?
That
would
allow
some
preventative
measures
to
be
put
in
place
because
I
really
think
that's
where
we
got
to
put
a
lot
of
our
Focus,
but
we
got
a
lot
of
cities
across
this
country
who
can
possibly
helps
up
help
us
answer
that
question
and.
Y
Y
Of
these
programs
I
wanted
to
know
also
our
encampment
response
teams.
We
have
a
lot
of
these
services
that
have
been
you
know,
part
of
our
Public
Safety
extension
services-
that's
been
fragmented
across
the
city
Enterprise,
and
that's
one
of
the
benefits
of
centralizing
them
under
this,
but
there's
also
a
component.
We've
heard
this
time
and
time
again
a
need
to
scale
up
that
Workforce.
Y
So
would
love
to
hear
your
thoughts
on
similar
like
how
do
we
recruit?
How
do
we
build
a
Workforce
for
a
segment
of
our
Public
Safety
Services?
That
I
would
acknowledge
is
still
relatively
new,
but
data
and
evidence
to
show
is
credibly
needed
and
also
is
a
crucial
fabric
of
why
this
department
came
into
fruition.
I.
T
Think
it's
important,
particularly
if
you
think
about
here
again
the
shortages
that
police
departments
across
this
country
are
suffering
here
specifically
in
this
city
is
no
different
than
any
other
City,
and
it
becomes
very
apparent
to
me
that
we
have
opportunities
where
we
can
integrate
civilian
workers
into
the
workforce
to
take
on
roles
and
even
answer
certain
calls
for
service.
That
is
not
dangerous
in
nature
for
an
example.
Rather
this
mental
health
or
whatever
the
case
may
happen
to
be
a
working
with
homelessness.
T
Whatever
we
know,
we
got
a
lot
of
social
issues
out
there,
quality
of
life
issues
that
really
don't
have
to
be
responded
to
by
police.
Now
we're
talking
reform
here
again,
because
here's
what's
going
to
happen
rather
Department
want
to
reform
or
not
it's
going
to
reform,
because
certain
things
are
not
going
to
change
anytime
soon
and
that's
recruiting
another
300
police
officers
in
any
City
USA.
T
So
what
has
to
happen
is
that
at
agency
that
Police
Department
Minneapolis
we're
going
to
have
to
find
ways
now
to
recruit
civilian
personnel,
to
feel
some
of
those
roles
that
are
not
dangerous
in
nature.
Right,
we
typically
would
send
police
to,
but
they
meet
some
of
the
quality.
But
but
they're
able
to
respond
to
some
of
the
quality
of
life
calls
that
police
have
typically
responded
to,
because
here's
the
whole
thing
about
policing
in
your
community
and
any
Community
as
we
were
talking
about
young
people
in
prevention,
policing
was
not
designed
to
be
reactionary.
T
It
was
designed
to
be
preventative
and
if
we
can
get
men
and
women
sworn
officers
back
on
our
streets,
who's,
doing
prevention
as
opposed
to
just
being
reactionary.
That
will
also
align
with
the
fact
we're
creating
programs
for
young
people
that
will
allow
them
the
opportunity
to
stay
out
of
trouble
as
opposed
to
waiting
for
them
to
get
in
trouble
and
trying
to
fix
that,
because
then
they're
already
on
a
trajectory
to
where
you
and
I
know
where
they
in
all
likelihood
are
headed,
particularly
if
they're
of
color
so
I.
Think.
T
Y
And
again
noting
that
police
is
at
least
what
I've
heard
about
office
of
community
safe
is,
is
one
part
of
how
we're
going
to
administer
Public
Safety
Services,
to
you
know
our
450
000
residents
and
many
of
them
as
I
know
that
were
expanding
other
non-armed.
You
know
Services
again,
like
our
BCR,
I'm,
pretty
sure
you've
met
with
them
our
mental
health
co-responders.
Many
of
the
things
that
you've
been
raised
around
civilian,
you
know
supports
that's
informed
and
I
think
we
talked
about
this
during
again,
our
initial
conversation
around
the
MPD
Staffing
study.
Y
That
shows
that
we
do
need
to
be
pouring
into
some
of
these
other
areas
that
we
know.
Law
enforcement
were
not
designed
to
respond
to
and
should
not
be
charged
with,
responding
to
and
over
strain
themselves.
So
it
seems
like
that's
going
to
be
an
ongoing
conversation
between
Council,
the
mayor's
office
and
you
around
how
we
can
really
scale
up.
Y
Successfully
this
this
other
component
of
the
workforce,
that's
doing
meaningful
work
when
it
comes
to
Public,
Safety
and
I'm
glad
you
also
mentioned
the
national
cities
like
looking
at
other
models,
would
love
to
know.
If
there's
any
that
comes
to
mind
that
we
should
be.
As
you
know,
policy
makers
even
start.
Y
You
know
getting
the
Juices
Flow
of
like
where
we
can
look
to
that
are
doing
this
model
very
successfully,
where
they're
scaling
up
our
preventative
and
restorative
services
and,
alongside
you
know
our
arm
components,
because
I
think
we
should
be
absolutely
looking
nationally
to
see
who's
doing
this
right.
So
hopefully
you
could
share
some
of
that
in
your
comments,
but
just
back
on
also
just
last
question
around
Staffing,
because
I
do
think
this
is
going
to
be
important,
as
we've
all
acknowledged.
Y
We
know
they're
short
staffing,
not
just
with
you,
know,
police,
but
we're
seeing
this
across
the
entire
city.
Enterprise
Across,
the
Nation,
and
because
of
that
we
have
to
be
very
Innovative
in
how
we're
administering
quality
ethical.
You
know
Public
Safety
Services
to
our
residents,
who
pay
for
it
who
deserve
it.
Y
I
know
one
of
the
ways
that
we've
approached
that
when
it
come
to
our
armed
Services,
is
we've
put
and
you're,
probably
aware
of
this,
a
staffing
minimum
for
our
sworn
officers.
So
that's
the
charge
of
getting
us
up
back
to
our
you
know
our
Charter
levels
as
we're
rethinking
our
Public
Safety
Services
and
the
types
that
we're
going
to
administer
these
different
programs.
You
know
be
it
that's
already
existing
and
bringing
in
new
ones.
Y
T
T
So
I
would
I
would
only
ask
that,
if
there's
an
opportunity
later
on
for
us
to
continue
that
conversation
where
I
can
be
much
further
briefed
around
what
those
challenges
are
right
in
terms
of
what
you're
talking
about,
and
we
find
some
resolve
and
some
partnership
around
them.
But
I
can't
give
you
I
mean
I.
Just
don't
know
enough
right
now
to
give
you
any
concrete
answer
around.
A
And
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
we
do
have
a
study
session,
that's
in
the
process
of
being
planned
for
mid-august,
where
I
hope
that
we
can
dive
very
deeply
into
these
issues
with
all
of
the
context
and
allow
a
lot
more
time.
Yes,
ma'am
for
questions
council,
member
wansley.
Y
Perfect
I
think
also
it's
a
really
big
importance.
As
you
know,
as
we're
trying
to
build,
you
know,
trust
lots
of
decisions
in
this
space
is
maybe
high
and
closed
doors
and
I
think
our
residents,
as
shown
for
the
folks
who
showed
up
today.
Even
the
midst
of
you,
know
having
to
be
boots
on
the
ground
and
mediating
all
these
crises.
They
want
to
be
part
of
these
conversations
and
want
to
have
the
avenue
to
do
that
in
this
space.
Y
So
that's
really
good
to
hear
that
that's
going
to
be
public
and
yes,
like
absolutely
looking
at
Staffing
minimums
I,
know,
there's
lots
of
challenges
with
those
on
our
MPD
side,
but
also
knowing
that
part
of
your
charge
with
this
new
department
is
growing
many
of
these
other
areas
of
our
Public
Safety
department,
because
if
we
weren't
doing
that,
we
wouldn't
need
this
department.
We
could
just
stay
with
MPD,
so
I'm
really
excited
to
see
us
really
think
through
how
we're
growing
these
other
components
of
successful
programs.
Y
That's
meeting
the
need
and
giving
our
residents
more
options
that
they
completely
deserve.
So
that's
the
end
of
my
questions.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
answering.
A
Thank
you
I
want
to
point
out
that
some
of
my
colleagues
need
to
leave
at
3
30.
E
Z
All
right,
I
I,
think
that's
a
little
ambitious,
so
I
want
to
start
by
thanking
you
for
coming
over
here
today.
I
know,
you've
been
standing
and
taking
questions
for
a
long
time.
I
really
appreciate
that
I
really
appreciate
you
taking
time
to
meet
with
many
of
us
and
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
our
communities
and
what
we
care
about
and
what
we
are
are
struggling
with,
and
then
I
want
to
be
really
clear.
Z
We're
going
to
run
through
a
flurry
of
questions
together,
and
some
of
them
are
going
to
be
a
little
bit
difficult,
but
I,
say
I,
ask
every
single
one
of
them
with
the
utmost
respect
for
you
and
for
the
work
that
you've
done.
I
know
that
you've
dedicated
your
career
to
Public,
Service
and
I
have
a
lot
of
admiration
for
you.
Taking
on
that
work.
Thank
you
for
doing
it
and.
Z
All
right
so
I
want
to
start
by
telling
you
a
little
bit
about
my
community
and
and
the
residence
that
I
represent.
Z
So
Ward
10
is
in
South
Minneapolis,
it's
the
broad
uptown
area,
80
of
my
renter
or
my
constituents
are
renters
and
where
10
is
home
to
some
of
our
largest
commercial
corridors
and
includes
Carmel
Mall,
one
of
the
largest
culturally
specific
economic
engines
in
the
state,
and
in
this
moment
I
know
that
Minneapolis,
just
like
the
community
that
I
represent,
is
struggling
with
these
big
questions
about
safety,
about
violence
and
about
the
city's
response
to
these
complicated
and
life-altering
things
that
people
are
struggling
with
and
I
have
heard
endless
stories.
Z
Just
like
everyone
else
here
about.
You
know,
people
struggling
with
you
know
gunshots
outside
their
house,
something
they
had
never
experienced
before.
Gun
violence
in
you
know
in
public
spaces
and
people
losing
lives
or
loved
ones
losing
lives
as
a
result
of
it
and
I
hear
a
lot
about
this.
Both
you
know
in
the
community,
but
also
I've
heard
from
you
today
about
you,
know
what
we
can
do
to
prevent
this
type
of
violence
in
the
future
and
the
proactive
approaches.
We
can
take.
Z
I
really
appreciate
that
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
we
can
be
doing
to
support
survivors
of
of
this
form
of
violence
and
what
we
can
do
to
support
families
of
victims
of
violence
right
who,
whose
lives
are
altered
when
things
like
this
happen-
and
you
know
who
have
a
lifelong
struggle
with
with
wellness
and
with
mental
health,
and
so
I
want
to
just
hear
a
little
bit
from
you
about
your
experience
with
this
type
of
work
and
how
that's
going
to
get
prioritized
here
in
Minneapolis.
So.
T
We
oftentimes
focus
on
the
person
who
lost
their
lives
and
we
hear
from
family
members
right
even
in
officers
involved
shootings.
Let's
say
someone
is
shot
and
killed
by
the
police
for
whatever
reason
right
and
we
have
family
members
who
are
hurt,
who
are
in
pain,
people
who
have
lost
someone
due
to
a
carjacking
or
robbery
or
a
domestic
I.
Think
one
thing
that
is
hugely
important
for
those
of
us
who
are
in
a
public
safety
Arena
and
who
are
leaders
in
that
Arena.
E
T
T
T
It
would
also
be
beneficial
and
helpful.
What
needs
can
we
help
provide
to
that
family?
That's
in
pain,
because
sometimes
those
needs
are
readily
available,
their
social
service
and
mental
health
organizations.
That's
willing
to
respond,
but
sometimes
people
don't
know
when
their
crisis,
what
they
need
or
how
to
reach
out
to
anyone.
T
So
I
think
that's
very
important
and
I
think
that's
very
sensitive
to
those
who
lost
their
loved
ones,
regardless
of
how
they
lost
them,
to
be
able
to
reach
out
to
them
to
say
what
supports
or
send
some
supports
for
them
to
either
to
accept
or
to
deny,
but
I
think
we
have
to
take
that
step.
And
here
again
that's
where
policing
is
changing
in
this
country.
M
T
Just
not
going
in
just
give
me
the
facts:
ma'am.
We
also
have
to
go
in
now
and
show
compassion
towards
victims
and
their
families
and
their
loved
ones.
It's
just
not
just
the
facts
anymore.
What
Support
also
can
I
give
to
you,
and
that
goes
a
long
way
in
building
relationships
and
trusts
goes
a
long
long
way.
Z
Who
is
someone
who
was
murdered
in
a
in
a
like
a
really
complicated
situation
over
a
year
ago
in
uptown
in
my
community,
and
the
situation
was
made
more
complex
because
it
actually
didn't
have
anything
to
do
with
the
City
of
Minneapolis
what
it
had.
Z
It
was
a
federal
task
force
run
by
U.S
Marshals,
in
which
many
bodies
of
law
enforcement
participated
and
the
the
piece
that
you
know,
people
still
struggle
with
and
to
this
day
you
know
the
the
family
of
of
Winston
Smith
doesn't
have
answers
about
what
happened
to
their
loved
one,
because
there
were
no
body,
worn
cameras
that
were
involved
because
the
the
that's
the
standard
of
accountability
that
was
set
by
the
federal
task
force.
Z
In
this
instance
right.
We
were
not
participating
in
this
type
of
task
force,
but
MPD.
The
City
of
Minneapolis
participates
in
federal
state
and
County
task
forces
oftentimes
when
they
have
a
lower
standard
of
accountability
than
the
one
that
we
hold
ourselves
and
our
city
too
and
I
want
to
hear
you
just
talk.
Z
You
know
with
with
the
the
breadth
of
experience
that
you
bring,
and
you
know,
understanding
the
type
of
trauma
this
this
experience
this
community
has
in
this
moment
what
your
perspective
is
on
continuing
to
cooperate
with
agencies
in
situations
like
this,
where
they
demand
a
lower
standard
of
accountability
than
the
one
we
hold
ourselves
to.
T
So,
historically,
federal
agencies
in
particular,
particularly
those
task
force
that
may
do
search
warrants,
let's
say
for
an
example
or
they
go
looking
for
a
bad
guy,
U.S
Marshals
Etc
in
the
past,
they
have
not,
by
their
own
standards,
have
not
been
required
to
wear
body,
worn
cameras,
but
in
local
County
and
oftentimes
State
jurisdictions.
They
have
been
so
that
certainly
has
created
a
great
deal
of
controversy
over
the
years
and
I
can
even
go
back
to
DeKalb
County.
T
When
I
was
public
safety
director,
we
were
often
asked
to
be
part
of
those
task
force
where
federal
agents
did
not
wear
body,
worn
cameras,
we
want
to
be
partners.
We
need
to
be
good
partners
with
our
federal
folks,
but
that
not
did
not
mean
that
my
folks
were
going
to
go
and
be
part
of
any
type
of
task
force
without
their
body
cameras
being
in
place,
I
cannot
hold
any
responsibility
or
share
with
you.
T
The
reason
why
their
legal
counsel
pushed
back
on
that
at
the
federal
level,
but
I
can
tell
you
from
my
own
experiences
of
public
safety
director
anytime,
that
we
did
those
types
of
of
task
force.
We're
part
of
those
task
force
asked
to
be
part
of
those
task
force.
I
can
I
cannot
tell
you
when
we
did
not
ever
wear
body
cameras
because
we're
in
a
much
different
place
than
in
reasoning,
because
we're
on
the
ground
with
Community
every
day.
T
That's
just
kind
of
part
of
of
of
of
our
makeup
now
is
having
cameras
with
us,
but
I
know
there
has
been
some
recent
conversation
and
I
would
have
to
confirm
this,
but
there
certainly
had
been
some
recent
conversation
in
regard
to
changing
that
federal
policy,
the
federal
government
themselves
and
requiring
that
they're
federal
agents,
wear
body
cameras,
I,
don't
know
where
that
is
now.
But
if
you
were
asking
me
theoretically,
if
I
was
here,
because
here's
something
you
can
be
assured
of,
there
would
not
be
a
search
warrant
issued
in
this
city.
T
Without
me,
knowing
about
it,
there
would
not
be
a
task
force
that
is
going
to
gauge
in
an
arrest
partners
with
any
federal
state
agencies
without
me,
knowing
about
it
right
because
I'm
not
going
to
learn
about
it
later,
when
I
have
to
come
and
respond
to
it
to
this
community
I'm
going
to
take
some
responsibility
on
the
front
end,
just
as
much
of
zombie
and
Bs
to
take
responsibility
on
the
back
end
of
that.
So
that's
a
great
question,
but
that
is
an
issue.
T
I
think
is
still
being
resolved
at
the
federal
level,
but
at
the
local
level,
and
we
certainly
want
to
be
part
of
those
operations
in
supporting
our
partners.
But
I
have
a
bigger
responsibility
than
the
federal
government,
because
whatever
goes
good
or
goes
bad,
I
got
to
be
able
to
tell
this
community
what
happened,
and
this
community
needs
to
have
some
sense
of
what
occurred.
Utilizing
that
body-worn
camera
footage
for.
Z
Sure
so,
I'm
glad
that
you
brought
up
to
Cobb,
County
and
I.
Think
from
here
I've
just
got
like
the
remainder
of
my
questions
are
about
your.
Z
So
cultural
change
is
it
that's
the
work
ahead
of
us
here
in
Minneapolis
and
with
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department,
that's
what's
outlined
in
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Human
Rights
report
and
the
work
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
over
the
next
few
years.
You
outline
the
consent,
decrees,
I,
know
it's
going
to
take
all
of
us
to
do
that.
Work
really
really
seriously
and
to
get
results
and
I
know
that
when
you
came
to
DeKalb
County,
it
was
also
in
a
really
precarious
condition.
Z
Just
like
you
know
it
feels
like
we
are
here
in
Minneapolis
right
now
and
I've
read
a
lot
about
your
work
and
have
read
a
handful
of
things
about
your
time
as
as
the
chief
there,
you
know
from
struggling
to
increase
the
size
of
the
the
force
struggling
to
boost
morale.
Z
Z
I
wasn't
there,
though
you
were,
and
so
I
I
just
want
you
to
take
this
moment,
to
tell
me
the
story
of
your
work
and
how
you
make
meaning
of
these
criticisms,
because
if
there's
one
thing
I
know
to
be
true,
it's
that
in
your
time
here
you
will
experience
the
same
type
of
criticism.
So
how
do
you
find
the
truth
in?
What's
you
know
told
about
your
work
there,
and,
and
also
you
know
what
you
were
able
to
do.
Yeah.
T
So,
whatever
truth
that
you
may
read,
they
may
be
truths
and
they
may
just
be
fiction.
But
let
me
say
this:
when
I
came
into
the
cab
in
2013
it
was
a
a
police
department.
Yes,
that
was
struggling
with
some
corruption
issues
inside
and
not
just
with
police
officers,
but
also
with
elected
officials.
You
need
to
go
back,
pull
that
piece
of
History
too.
T
There
were
two
or
three
people
on
the
city
on
the
council,
County
elected
officials
who
are
under
different
types
of
investigation
and
when
I
came
aboard
you
also
had.
We
also
had
some
officers
who
had
been
involved
in
some
corruption.
That's
what
I
inherited
no
question
about
that
right.
So
for
me,
I
had
to
make
some
Personnel
changes.
I
had
to
do
some
things
that
was
uncharacteristic
of
that
department
and
in
many
ways,
kind
of
reflected.
T
T
The
point
I'm
trying
to
make
is
this
is
that
during
that
tenure
doing
that
four
year
tenure
for
me,
I
fired
officers
for
corruption.
We
worked
with
the
federal
government,
the
FBI
and
U.S
attorney's
office.
They
have
officers
indicted
for
a
number
of
corrupt
activities,
including
being
abusive
to
prisoners.
T
Okay,
in
terms
of
of
of
that
department
saw
itself
is
operating
often
times
in
a
sailor.
They
did
things
on
their
own.
They
didn't
work
very
closely
with
other
agencies
at
that
time.
Much
of
that
is
being
reported
by
your
own
men
right
here
about
your
own
MPD
right,
because
when
I
talked
to
Chiefs
across
this
region
in
cities
in
counties
that
are
contiguous
here
to
you,
they
themselves
don't
want
to
work
with
MPD
that
ain't
coming
from
me,
that's
coming
from
them,
so,
let's
put
it
all
on
the
table
here.
T
Right
I
had
that
same
issue
in
DeKalb,
County
and
I
had
to
build
trust
all
over
again,
and
then
we
had
Michael
Brown
in
August
of
2014
set
us
all
back
across
this
country
in
a
number
of
ways
right.
So
when
that
happened,
we're
in
a
you
know
we
our
challenges,
even
become
greater
everything
that
we
did
was
hugely
criticized.
T
But
let
me
dismiss
one
thing
about
internal
affairs:
I
did
not
reduce
any
Personnel
in
Internal
Affairs,
not
a
one
I,
don't
know
where
that
come
from,
but
I
never
reduced
any
personnel
and
in
fact,
if
I
reduce
any
personnel
and
Internal
Affairs,
I'm
gonna
tell
you
when
it
was.
It
was
in
2005
in
Rochester,
New
York,
where
the
internal
affairs
Lieutenant
called
me
one
day,
and
he
said
to
me
he
said
chief.
T
T
T
In
fact,
the
numbers
we
should
have
had
more
people,
but
we
were
starting
to
lose
people,
but
they
were
able
to
keep
up
with
the
caseload
that
they
had
and
they
had
never
been
criticized
for
doing
bad
work,
because
when
they
did
those
internal
investigations
they
did
them
fairly
and
equitably
and
I've
always
had
the
greatest
sense
of
confidence
in
the
work
that
they
did
right.
So
I.
Z
So
continuing
in
your
10
10-year
at
DeKalb
County,
yes,
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
two
really
tragic
deaths,
one
of
Kevin
Davis
and
one
of
Anthony
Hill,
the
first
who
watched
his
dog,
shot
and
killed
in
front
of
him,
and
then
he
was
shot
and
then
Anthony
Hill.
Who
was
you
know
having
a
really
severe
Mental
Health
crisis
right,
and
we
want
to
hear
more
from
you
about.
You
know
what
changed
in
the
department
following
these
two
tragedies.
Z
You
know
where
either
of
these
officers
involved
in
the
separate
cases
disciplined
you
know
what
about
their
training,
LED
them
to
this
decisions.
I
mean
basically
just
tell
me
what
you
learned
and.
T
What
you
did
so,
let's
talk
about,
let's
talk
about
Anthony
Hill,
yeah,
Anthony
Hill
was
Afghanistan,
veteran
I
believe
he
was,
and
this
event
happened
just
shortly
after
Michael
Brown
in
DeKalb,
County
officers
respond
to
a
scene
where
a
naked
man
was
running
around
the
apartment,
complex
naked,
the
officer
responded
to
the
scene.
He
gets
there
by
himself
before
his
backup
get
there
when
he
gets
there
officer
steps
out
the
car
and
Mr
Hill
runs
towards
him.
Just
merely
runs
towards
him.
T
The
officer
for
some
unknowing
reason
takes
his
firearm,
shoots
Mr
Hill
and
kills
him
when
I
got
to
the
scene.
On
that
particular
day,
I
was
trying
to
make
sense
of
what
was
the
reason
for
the
shooting
had
he
attacked
the
officer
had
there
been
a
weapon
involved,
etc,
etc,
etc.
None
of
that
was
involved.
We
conducted
an
internal
investigation,
but
what
we
later
decided
to
do
is
that
we
turned
that
investigation
over
to
the
Georgia
Bureau
of
Investigation.
T
The
community
asks
that
we
do,
but,
in
addition
to
that,
having
been
on
Obama's
task
force,
one
of
the
biggest
things
that
we
promoted
in
that
document
is
that
if
you
have
a
shooting,
where
someone
is
killed
by
one
of
your
officers,
is
that
you
don't
do
that
investigation
yourself,
you
give
it
to
an
outside
entity
and
that's
what
we
did
in
what
essentially
happened.
With
that
case,
the
gbi
investigated
I
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
investigation
of
it
being
that
we
were
the
ones
who
shot
and
killed
Mr
Hill.
T
Subsequently,
what
happened
to
that?
That
officer
was
indicted.
He
was
convicted
and
he's
doing
a
20
years
right
now
for
the
death
of
Anthony
Hill
in
regards
to
the
other
shooting.
This
was
just
not
a
case
of
the
dog
shooting
his
dog.
This
was
the
case.
The
officer
reported
when
he
got
to
the
scene
of
a
stabbing
and
that's
how
it
came
in
the
subject
came
to
the
door.
Well,
the
dog
actually
came
barreling
out
the
door
that
tact
officer,
the
dolphin
fired,
a
shot
killed
the
dog.
T
Well,
actually,
the
dog
ran
back
in
the
apartment,
fell
to
the
ground.
The
the
subject
came
out
with
a
gun.
In
his
hand,
an
officer
told
him
several
times
to
drop
the
weapon.
He
did
not
an
officer
shot
and
killed
him.
What
subsequently
happened
to
that
with
an
outside
investigation
is
that
that
officer
case
was
sent
before
the
district
attorney.
At
that
time
for
grand
jury,
he
was
not
indicted
by
a
grand
jury.
T
The
grand
jury
found
him
to
be
within
his
right
under
Florida
state
law,
I'm,
sorry
under
Georgia
state
law,
so
he
was
never
indicted.
That's
what
happened
in
those
particular
cases,
but
let
me
give
you
another
case
you're,
not
asking
me
about.
Let
me
give
you
a
case
of
on
one
particular
night.
Three
officers
I
asked
to
respond
to
a
burglary
in
progress.
They
don't
have
a
numerical
address.
All
they
have
is
a
description
of
a
house.
Those
officers
get
to
that
street
where
they
think
this
may
be.
T
The
house
they
rent
around
to
the
back.
The
door
is
a
jar
indications,
possibly
had
all
the
makings
of
someone
being
inside
the
house
as
officers
stacked
in
one
two
three
behind
each
other.
They
yelled
DeKalb,
Police,
DeKalb,
Police
dog,
come
running
out.
Offices
felt
threatened
for
whatever
reason
they
shot
the
dog
behind
a
dog
in
the
firing
of
those
weapons.
T
A
male
was
shot
in
the
leg
and
an
officer
was
shot
by
Friendly.
Fire
I
got
an
officer
shot
by
Friendly
Fire.
We
later
find
out
the
home
that
we're
at
there
was
no
burglary
there.
That
was
the
homeowner
following
his
dog
to
see
what
the
Barking
was
all
about.
We
just
had
a
pure
mess
and
it
looked
bad.
We
were
embarrassed.
T
It
was
just
not
very
good,
so
I
had
to
tell
that
community
of
over
6
million
people
there
in
metro
Atlanta
what
occurred
that
night
and
here's
what
I
told
them
when
the
media
turned
on
the
cameras,
and
they
asked
me
what
happened,
I
told
them
frankly
and
up
front.
We
went
to
the
wrong
house:
why
do
I
bring
that
story
up?
Z
I
appreciate
that,
thank
you
and
then
last
question
and
you
know:
I
had
a
chance
to
meet
with
you
earlier
I
told
you
I
was
going
to
ask
you
about
this,
so
you
know,
let's
do
that.
Z
I
want
to
hear
a
little
bit
from
you
about
what
happened
with
the
accusations
of
unwanted
sexual
advances.
You
faced
in
your
time
at
DeKalb
County,
you
know,
I've
went
back
twice
now
and
I
have
re-read
the
report
from
that
investigation
and
the
findings
and
I
understand
the
conclusion
and
I
know:
you're,
that's
going
to
be
the
thing
you're
going
to
spend
some
time
talking
about
I.
You
know
I
understand
that,
but
in
particular
you
know,
I
was
really
struck
by
each
time.
Z
I
read
this
and
disturbed
by
reading
that
you
know,
following
the
incidents
that
the
officer
eventually
reported
in
in
in
this
and
and
was
investigated,
you
went
on
to
make
complaints
about
about
the
officer
that
included
things
like
the
officer
disrespecting
you
when
she
did
not
want
to
speak
to
you
at
public
events
afterwards,
and
so
just
speak
to
us
about
this
yeah
this.
These
incidents.
T
Absolutely
I'll
be
more
glad
to
speak
to
it.
So
let's
put
it
in
context
yeah,
because
you're
reading
out
a
context.
So
let's
put
the
whole
thing
in
context,
so
people
can
hear
this
right.
First
of
all,
I
report
it
to
the
county
that
I
had
been
accused
of
sexual
harassment
me
and
my
chief
of
police.
This
was
a
retaliation
of
someone
that
we
fired
and
when
the
Chief
came
to
me
and
said
she,
the
major
stated
you
sexually
harassed,
one
of
her
lieutenants
I
told
the
chief.
At
that
very
moment.
T
It
is
now
your
responsibility
to
go
report
that,
to
my
to
my
boss,
which
was
the
CEO
of
the
county.
Now
the
woman
who
we
fired
by
the
way
was
being
fired
because
she
failed
to
report
sexual
harassment
from
one
of
her
subordinate
women
who
came
to
her
twice
to
tell
her
that
this
young
man
is
harassing
me.
She
did
nothing.
T
The
chief
took
one
I
was
public
safety
director,
the
chief
took
it.
It
was
investigated.
She
admitted
what
had
occurred.
She
was
terminated.
He
terminated
her
on
her
way
out
the
door.
This
is
what
she's
saying
allegations
that
were
made
were
supposed.
Actually
those
were
three
years
prior
to
her
being
fired.
Now,
let
me
put
it
in
further
context
for
you.
It
was
investigated
three
months
of
Investigation.
It
was
unfounded
and
without
Merit.
T
Let
me
put
it
in
further
context
for
you,
not
one
media
Outlet
in
Atlanta
Georgia,
even
though
people
called
and
say
hey
anonymously,
Dr
Alexander
was
accused
of
sexual
harassment,
not
the
AJ
seed,
Atlanta
journaling
Constitution,
nor
any
credible
television
statement
station
ever
made
mention
of
it
because
there
was
no
meat
on
that
bone,
none
zero!
So
let's
go
a
little
bit
further
in
this
right,
so
I
go
to
Rochester
New
York,
as
Deputy
Mayor
I,
say
to
the
mayor,
I
was
accused
of
sexual
harassment.
Thank
you,
Dr
Alexander,
for
letting
me
know.
T
During
the
same
time,
all
this
was
happening
also
councilmember,
Chuck,
Taw
I
was
also
being
vetted
by
the
White
House
as
to
be
on
the
task
force
through
executive
order
by
President
Obama.
They
did
a
thorough
background.
Never
was
an
issue
and
also
at
the
same
time,
I
was
on
the
short
list
to
be
superintendent
of
the
Chicago
Police
Department,
which
was
investigated
by
now
mayor
Lightfoot.
T
T
If
you
read
the
report
thoroughly,
she
did
not
only
the
lieutenant
who
made
the
accusation,
which
we
think
was
pushed
up
by
the
major
to
do
that.
She
just
not
only
did
not
walk
through
the
hallways
and
speak
to
me.
This
went
on
for
a
couple
of
years.
She
didn't
speak
to
me,
the
deputy
chief,
the
assistant
chief.
She
dissed
all
of
us
disrespectfully,
but
we
never
said
anything
to
her.
We
just
let
it
go
period
because
it
wasn't
worth
it
just
let
it
go.
She
was
wholly
this
holy
disrespectful.
T
One
thing:
these
investigators
in
DeKalb
County,
made
very
clear
to
me
because
you
are
who
you
are
no
stone,
will
go
and
turn
in
this
investigation,
because
one
thing
that
they'd
ever
wanted
to
someone
to
say
is
that
I
will
show
favoritism
and
I
wasn't,
and
that
was
a
thorough
investigation.
No
credible
news
source,
not
even
in
this
town
since
I've,
been
here,
you
think
you're.
The
only
person
that
know
about
that,
but
not
one
major
Outlet
or
one
major
newspaper,
have
made
any
reference
to
that,
because
good
journalism
don't
allow
themselves
to
do
that.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember.
Are
you
through
Dr
Alexander
I
want
to
give
you
the
opportunity
to
take
a
break
we've
had
you
on
the
hook
for
I
think
about
80
minutes
now,
as
the
queue
to
end.
This
would
be
council,
member
Payne
who
prom,
who
says
he'll
be
short,
but
then
also
council,
member
Chavez,
who
has
a
few
questions.
I.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
Dr
Alexander,
for
your
answers.
You've
actually
answered
most
of
my
questions
so
I'm
going
to
just
try
to
synthesize
it
into
kind
of
a
more
concise
question.
You
know.
Most
of
my
questions
are
around.
You
know
what
your
vision
was
for
the
Department,
how
you
would
see
your
role
relative
to
the
leaders
of
the
department
I
feel
like
you've
gotten
essentially
to
the
essence
of
some
of
that.
One
of
the
things
that
really
stood
out
to
me
is
you
made
a
comment
about
that.
C
You
know.
Written
policies
are
not
necessarily
going
to
get
us
to
the
change
that
we
want
to
see
correct,
and
you
spoke
pretty
deeply
about
your
four
years
of
experience
and
how
you
one
of
the
benefits
of
that
is
you've
already
paid
the
cost
for
the
lessons
learned
from
past
mistakes
that
we
get
to
benefit
from
and
I
want
to
kind
of
take.
You
know
what
are
those
Lessons
Learned?
C
What's
like
an
example
of
some
of
those
mistakes
that
has
given
you
the
insight
to
do
things
differently,
and
how
would
you
apply
that
to
the
integration
of
all
these?
Various
platforms
of
which
you
know
you've
outlined
five
of
those
platforms,
but
there
are
other
components
to
Public
Safety
that
are
distributed
across
the
city
that
aren't,
within
those
formal
departments.
C
I'd
like
to
hear
your
some
of
your
ideas
around
how
you
would
approach
that
integration.
Are
you
gonna?
Is
this
a
rip?
The
Band-Aid
off?
Is
that
your
philosophical
approach,
or
is
this
that
working
directly
with
those
Chiefs
and
the
leaders
of
each
of
those
departments
and
following
their
guidance
I,
just
want
to
get
like
a
little
bit
more
concrete.
C
T
Know
what's
hugely
important
in
the
role
that
is
being
proposed
right
is
that
anyone
who
takes
on
this
role,
one
of
the
first
more
important
things
that
you're
going
to
have
to
do
I
need
to
know
get
to
know
each
and
one
of
those
department
heads
to
police,
Chiefs.
Three
directors
I
need
to
understand
what
their
Vision,
what
their
philosophy
is,
how
they
see
their
roles,
how
I
can
be
helpful
to
them?
T
What
is
it
they're
currently
doing,
that
is
working
and
not
working
I
learned
that
over
time
from
the
time
when
I
was
assistant
chief
to
a
chief
and
I
learned
how
to
ask
different
kind
of
questions
and
questions
that
were
relevant
to
the
subject
matter
in
that
particular
space
and
time.
So
here
we
are
in
2022
what
I
talked
about
five
six
years
ago
in
DeKalb
county
is
not
relevant
to
the
issues
that
are
current
today
in
our
society.
T
So
I
learned
I
always
have
to
be
relevant
with
my
questioning
and
line
of
questioning
and
what
it
is
that
I'm
trying
to
achieve
a
much
more
laser
focus.
Now,
if
you
will
right,
but
I,
think
it's
important
to
recognize
that
in
in
what's
being
proposed
here
by
the
mayor,
is
that
we
have
an
opportunity
here
and
I've
done
this
before
I.
T
Did
this
in
Dekalb
weekly
I
met
with
police
and
fire
and
Emergency
Management
to
talk
about
our
individual
roles
and
responsibilities
and
how
we
were
communicating
with
each
other,
but
here's
the
thing
I
didn't
have
the
history
that
you
have
in
this
city
of
Minneapolis
I
had
a
different
kind
of
history
in
terms
of
things
that
people
were
concerned
about
there.
People
here
are
still
hurt,
they're
still
very
angry:
they
don't
trust
policing,
they
don't
seek
police
as
being
legitimate.
They
question
every
aspect
of
many
aspects
of
your
Public
Safety
platforms.
T
So
that
is
hugely
important
to
me,
because
you
have
a
unique
set
of
challenges
here
in
some
ways
very
similar
to
the
rest
of
the
country,
but
in
many
ways
you
also
stand
out
alone
and
the
whole
world
is
watching
and
I
think
we
have
an
opportunity
here
to
do
something
different.
As
I
said
over
80
minutes
ago.
We
have
an
opportunity
here
now
to
be
able
to
show
the
rest
of
the
country
of
the
world
that
we
can
achieve
this
goal
around
Public
Safety.
T
We
can
bring
all
our
Public
Safety
platforms
together
and
have
them
working
yet
independent,
but
also
collaboratively
with
each
other.
We
have
a
multi,
you
know
if
you
have
an
event
in
this
city
right
now,
any
event
that
you
can
name
whether
it's
weather
related
civil
unrest,
whatever
the
case
may
happen
to
be
I
need
to
be
able
to
know
as
public
safety
director
I
need
to
be
able
to
know
that
if
something
happens,
I
know
what
police
is
going
to
do.
I
know
what
fire
is
going
to
do.
T
I
know
what
Emergency
Management
is
going
to
do
and
I
know
that
they're
going
to
be
doing
it
together.
I
know
that
OBP
has
a
role
to
play
in
all
this
too,
depending
on
the
circumstances
of
what
jumps
off
right.
Now,
you
don't
have
that
and
I'm
not
sure
if
they
really
know
how
to
work
together,
not
in
a
way
that
is
going
to
be
consistent
in
not
just
in
pushing
off
to
me,
here's
some
written
documents
of
what
we're
going
to
do.
T
T
Do
everybody
know
where
they're
supposed
to
be,
and
when
we
want
to
have
this,
we
want
to
have
a
platform,
a
public
safety,
a
public
safety
platform
in
which
everyone
knows
what
the
other
one
is
doing,
and
we
don't
wait
for
something
to
happen
to
come
up
with
a
plan.
We
have
to
have
a
plan
that
is
not
just
written,
but
one
that
is
operationalized
one
that
is
practiced,
because
that
is
going
to
be
one
thing:
I'm
going
to
ask
of
your
Emergency
Management
director.
T
What
is
the
plan
if
something
was
to
happen
right
now,
who's
on
first
who's
on
second
right?
What
are
you
doing
over
in
the
police
department?
What
are
you
doing
at
fire?
We
got
huge
shortages
in
9-1-1.
How
do
we,
if
we
go
into
civil
unrest
at
this
very
moment?
How
do
we
manage
the
over
number
over
a
number
of
calls
for
service
that
that
that
that
shop
is
going
to
be
overwhelmed
with?
Do
we
have
partners
that
can
come
in
and
fill
in
from
us
from
other
jurisdictions?
T
That's
a
question
too,
because,
right
now,
as
you
heard
me
say
a
few
minutes
ago,
there
are
a
lot
of
agencies.
That's
not
willing
to
assist
us
one
of
the
other
things.
I
got
to
do.
I'm
glad.
You
said
that
to
remind
me
of
is
that
I
got
to
build
broken
relationships
that
got
broken
two
years
ago
with
a
lot
of
police
constituents
across
this
region,
and
you
don't
have
to
ask
me:
ask
them
they'll,
tell
you,
they
don't
even
know
me
and
they're
telling
me
and
I
trust
what
they're
saying.
D
A
few
questions
to
ask
I
think
you
know
a
little
bit
about
the
unity
Community
mediation
team,
just
wondering
how
you
would
work
with
them
here
in
the
city.
It's
a
group
of
African-American
Native,
American,
Latino,
East,
African
and
Advocates
from
the
lgbtq
plus
community
that
Advocate
against
community
and
police
violence,
just
wondering
how
you
would
work
with
Community
groups,
both
that
are
boots
on
the
ground.
Neighbors
and
organizations
like
these
to
address
the
public
safety
concerns
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis
I.
T
Got
boots
too
I
think
it's
important
I,
don't
say
that
sarcastically
I
think
it's
important
that
I
meet
them.
I,
know
them
and
I
walk
them,
neighborhoods
with
them
and
understand
what
their
challenges
and
struggles
are
and
figure
out
with
them.
How
do
we
work
more
cooperatively
with
these
other
Public
Safety
platforms
that
I
would
be
in
charge
of
I
think
that's
hugely
important.
How
can
they
provide
and
add
assistance
to
ovp?
What
is
it
that
they
can
do
and
work
more
collaboratively
with
their
police
department
and
feel
a
sense
of
trust?
T
If
you
will
right
that,
may
or
may
not
be
there,
but
for
me
that
would
be
one
of
the
most
important
things
I'd
do.
I
would
enjoy
that
just
as
much
as
I
enjoy
going
out
with
councilmember
Osmond
to
sit
there
in
his
community
and
meet
people.
That
is
huge
I'm!
No
one
is
ever
beyond
that
right,
because
when
people
see
you,
they
hear
you
they
are
able
to
you're
able
to
be
approachable.
That
makes
all
the
difference
in
the
world
and
plus
on
top
of
that
I'm
role,
modeling.
T
D
T
I
mean
it's
huge,
I
mean
I,
think
we
all
have
a
vested
interest
to
support
young
people,
particularly
young
people,
who
are
trying
to
do
the
right
thing.
But
here
again
I
want
to
go
back
to
something
that
councilmember
wansley
stated,
and
that
is
for
us
not
to
wait
for
them
to
get
in
trouble.
T
Because
here's,
what
we
know,
and
particularly
for
young
people
of
color,
is
that
once
they
get
in
trouble,
it
is
very,
very
duct
of
code
for
them
to
shake
those
records
in
how
they're
going
to
be
perceived
and
how
often
times
they
just
may
give
up
and
continue
to
commit
crimes,
because
they
feel
that
it
really
doesn't
make
a
difference.
We
got
to
get
to
them.
T
We
got
to
create
programs
for
those
young
people
and
we
got
to
be
invested
in
very
intentional
about
it
to
create
those
programs
for
them
that
help
them
before
they
get
in
trouble.
D
Thank
you
yes,
sir,
so
in
my
ward,
specifically
in
Ward
9
in
the
Phillips
neighborhoods,
we
talked
about
this
in
my
meetings
with
you,
but
there's
a
lot
of
Overdose
deaths,
taking
the
lives
of
a
lot
of
my
community
members,
especially
our
East
African
native
community
members,
people
that
are
young.
Can
you
talk
about
the
strategies
that
you're
going
to
be
using,
along
with
the
five
departments
that
you're
going
to
be
under
that.
T
Is
something
I
certainly
would
like
to
know
more
about
are
certainly
would
like
to
see
what
the
numbers
and
the
stat
and
the
data
says
about
that
population
and
the
usage
and
how
they're
dying
and
I
think
once
I,
better
understand
and
diagnose
what
that
problem
and
issue
is,
then
we
certainly
can
come
up
with
some
treatment
plan.
That's
going
to
be
helpful
to
address
that
issue,
because
that's
a
real
huge
issue
we
well
know
across
the
country,
but
I
certainly
would
need
more
information
and
I
certainly
be
more
than
willing
to
do.
It.
D
Right
now,
there's
a
buyback
program
specifically
where
people
that
have
money
specifically
richer
neighborhoods,
richer
Awards
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
can
purchase
policing
for
their
neighborhoods.
Then
you
have
neighborhoods
like
mine,
that
oftentimes
don't
have
that
much
money
that
have
a
lack
of
public
there's
lack
of
Public
Safety
in
the
neighborhoods.
Don't
necessarily
have
the
luxury
of
going
around
and
throwing
money
to
buy
policing
for
their
neighborhoods,
not
that
policing
necessarily
solves
every
single
issue,
but
they
don't
have
that
luxury.
D
How
would
you
address
the
inequities
of
Public
Safety
resources
for
the
city,
specifically
with
neighbors
neighborhoods,
that
struggle
with
Public
Safety?
You
see
it
with
response
times,
neighborhoods
that
need
more
help.
Oftentimes
have
slow
response
rates
compared
to
the
neighborhoods.
That
would
less
likely
need
that
response
time
to
be
addressed.
Yeah.
T
T
I
think
that
becomes
a
problem
for
me
as
your
public
safety
director,
because
that
means
that
I
got
to
find
ways
to
create
opportunities
for
more
officers
to
be
in
those
areas
where
people
can't
afford
a
hundred
bucks
an
hour
for
more
police
officers
right
and
we
kind
of
have
to
figure
that
out
together,
because
if,
if,
if,
if,
if
that's
the
policy
and
that's
the
ruling,
we
respect
that.
But
at
the
same
time,
I
got
to
work
harder
and
we'll
have
to
work
together
and
try
to
figure
out.
T
How
do
we
provide
more
resources,
those
communities
that
may
not
feel
that
they're
getting
adequate
protection
that
they
need
over
another
community?
That
really
becomes
really
more
my
responsibility.
It
makes
my
child
a
little
tougher,
quite
natural.
You
know,
naturally,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
that
does
become
my
responsibility
and.
T
D
T
T
These
guns
make
their
way
across
this
country,
and
we
have
such
an
enormous
amount
of
guns
in
this
country,
where
a
lot
of
these
guns
that
are
being
used
in
violent
crimes,
quite
frankly,
are
guns
that
have
been
stolen
from
law
abiders,
a
law-abiding
citizens
who
are
exercising
their
Second
Amendment
right,
but
they're,
being
stolen
from
homes
from
Cars,
Etc
and
then
being
used
for
nefarious
events,
nefarious
events,
so
I
think
a
number
of
things
have
to
happen
here.
We're
going
to
have
to
acknowledge
this
is
a
bigger
problem
than
you
and
I.
T
This
is
really
the
problem
that
even
Congress
don't
even
want
to
take
on.
But
how
do
we
protect
ourselves
locally
around
this
and
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
enforcement
effort
is
best
that
we're
able
to
provide,
but
here
I
will
say
to
you.
Is
this
any
crimes
that
take
place
in
this
community
in
particular?
And
specifically,
this
is
the
importance
of
building
relationships
for
our
Public
Safety
platforms
to
build
relationships
with
people
in
the
community.
T
You
have
a
lot
of
guns,
you've
been
having
shootings
downtown
virtually
every
night
for
the
last
four
or
five
days,
every
night
or
every
other
night
right
in
the
downtown
of
this
community
right
in
North,
Minneapolis
or
south
or
wherever
the
case
may
be.
People
hear
gunshots,
they're,
casings,
Left,
Behind
people
are
injured,
people
are
killed
and
it's
threatening
we're
far
better
Community
than
this
far
better.
T
So
we
got
to
think
through
new
strategies
and
new
ways
as
to
how
to
confront
this
wave
of
gun
violence
in
this
community
and
has
also
become
very
apparent
to
me
in
recent
days
that
at
some
point,
I
may
need
to
sit
with
the
chief
judge
of
this
County
and
ask
them.
Can
they
help
us
because,
quite
frankly,
some
of
these
violent
offenders
are
just
being
let
loose
too
frequently
and
it's
not
helping
the
situation?
None,
you
can't.
T
You
cannot
those
who
are
violent
involved
in
those
violent
acts
and
they
go
back
on
the
street.
T
All
the
research.
All
the
literature
shows
all
the
data
shows.
They
were
reoffend
again
and
someone
will
get
hurt
again,
so
we
got
to
counter
that
we
really
do.
We
have
to
count
it.
It
may
be
some
people
who
argue
that,
but
quite
frankly,
for
me,
I,
don't
know
how
you
can
argue
that,
but
people
have
their
own
opinion
to
it.
But
if
I'm
going
to
keep
a
community
safe,
we
can't
have
it
both
ways.
T
I
can't
have
someone
to
go
out
and
do
Serious
injury
to
one
of
these
citizens
they're
released
back
on
the
street,
and
then
they
go
back
and
they
hurt
somebody
else
again.
I
can't
do
that.
I
have
to
speak
up
and
speak
out
against
it,
though
those
young
people
need
help.
Do
they
need
other
interventions?
Yes,
they
do,
but
we
all
got
to
be
accountable
for
our
actions,
regardless
of
what
they
are.
E
D
Thank
you,
sir
I
want
to
give
a
message
to
my
constituents
in
Ward
9,
specifically
I,
haven't
heard
from
any
of
my
constituents
regarding
this
appointment.
So
if
you're
paying
attention
to
this
public
hearing,
I
would
just
ask
my
constituents
to
just
send
an
email
and
give
your
advice
on
this
I
heard
mile
flowers
today,
as
a
fifth
person,
has
contacted
me
about
this
appointment
so
appreciate
his
voice
and
as
I
make.
My
decision
on
Thursday
would
probably
be
reaching
out
to
you
for
thank.
A
Thank
you,
I
will
move
to
approve
the
appointment
of
Dr
Cedric
Alexander
to
the
appointed
position
of
community
safety.
Commissioner
may
I
have
a
second
second.
Thank
you.
The
motion
to
Grant
consent
to
Mayor
Fry's
nomination
of
Dr
Cedric
Alexander,
is
before
us
and
I'll.
Ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
roll.
X
W
E
E
A
Thank
you,
Dr
Alexander
you've
demonstrated
your
ability
to
listen
as
well
as
you
lead.
I
look
forward
to
the
next
conversations
that
you'll
have
across
our
city.
That
motion
carries
and
this
recommendation
will
get
forwarded
to
our
regular
council
meeting
this
Thursday
for
final
action.
Welcome
to
Minneapolis
thank.
G
AA
AA
AA
This
case
has
implications
for
all
local
governments
and
our
own
civil
rights
and
public
accommodation
laws,
potential
implications
there,
depending
on
how
the
court
rolls
and
the
reason
we
are
having
to
walk
it
on
and
I
appreciate,
the
the
council's
potentially
allowing
us
to
do
this
is
that
the
their
request
did
come
in
quite
a
while
ago.
AA
It
came
into
the
prior
City
attorney's
inbox,
and
they
also
attempted
to
follow
up
with
with
him,
and
obviously
he
was
no
longer
here
and
so
by
the
time
they
did
get
around
to
contacting
interim
City
attorney
gender
we're
here
with
a
deadline
of
August
5th
to
join.
So
that
is.
That
is
the
reason
we
are
walking
it
on
for
your
consideration
today.
I
appreciate
it.
A
Thank
you.
I
will
make
a
motion
to
join
the
local
government.
Amicus
brief
by
the
U.S
Supreme
Court
case
number
21-476
and
authorized
the
city
attorney's
office
to
take
all
steps
necessary
to
join
in
support
of
this
Amicus.
Brief
may
I
have
a
second
second.
Is
there
any
discussion
seeing
none
clerk,
please
call
the
roll.
W
E
A
And
zero
Nays.
Thank
you.
That
motion
carries
item
number.
The
third
item
on
our
agenda
today.
It
is
said
to
be
item.
Number
two:
is
the
executive
mayor,
legislative
Council
government
structure
ordinance?
This
was
referred
to
this
committee
at
the
previous
council
meeting
and
this
is
simply
a
step
to
refer
it
to
staff,
to
begin
the
drafting
process
and
working
with
all
of
our
colleagues,
so
I
will
move
to
refer
this
to
staff.
Is
there
a
second.
E
A
Y
So
this
is
more
so
for
my
constituents
in
knowing
where
I'm
at
on
this
similar
to
as
we
just
had
a
robust
conversation
about
the
office
of
community
safety,
I
also
want
to
know
you
know,
there's
not
a
real,
well
thought
out
plan
guiding
this
government
restructure
process.
It
often
feels
like
departments
and
divisions
are
being
arranged
like
musical
chairs.
I
know
many
of
the
decisions
around
our
departments
and
divisions
and
programs
are
happening
in
bathroom
conversations
instead
of
the
public.
Y
I
know
that
you,
this
is
very
concerning,
because
our
public,
our
residents,
deserve
a
very
thoughtful
and
coordinated
and
transparent
process
on
this.
This
is
something
that
they're
going
to
have
to
live
under,
and
so
far
we
haven't
been
given
substantial
rationale
to
justify
why
this
restructure
is
necessary
or,
most
importantly,
helpful
to
the
public.
The
only
reason
I've
heard
and
even
today,
prior
to
Dr
Alexander's
hearing,
was
that
this
will
help
the
mayor
do
his
shop.
Y
Well,
there
has
not
been
more
information
provided
about
how
this
will
strengthen
this
legislative
body,
how
it
will
improve
oversight
or
better
our
public
services
or
even
increase
Public
Safety
again,
the
public
has
to
live
under
this
and
something
this
substantial
should
have
gone
through
a
robust
engagement
process.
In
fact,
I
would
say
it
should
even
be
able
to
go
to
the
ballots
of
Voters
to
approve
and
the
fact
that
we're
kind
of
sidestepping
Voters
makes
me
feel
like.
Y
We
aren't
necessarily
confident
that
this
would
be
approved
if
it
went
to
the
ballot
which,
if
it
did,
it
will
have
a
way
more
stronger
mandate
for
us
to
move
forward
with
this
outside
of
just
taking
a
simple
majority
of
votes,
and
you
know
I
think
this
is
something
that
we
can
model
just
like
question,
one
which
was
implemented
in
December
of
2021.
You
know
when
it
went
to
the
ballot
when
there
was
a
case
made
of
how
this
will
make
our
government
more
efficient
and
more
streamlined.
Y
Okay,
we
voters
were
able
to
say
that's
true.
I
would
love
to
see
this
restructuring
process,
use
those
same
Democratic
channels
and
really
give
it
a
stronger,
credible
case,
because
again,
the
public
and
I've
heard
this
so
many
times
here.
This
is
a
system
that
will
Outlast
us
all,
but
also
again,
our
residents
will
have
to
deal
with
this.
New
system
live
under
it
receive
Services
as
an
extension
of
it,
and
they
should
have
an
ultimate
say
if
this
is
the
right
direction.
Y
So
I
just
want
to
put
that
on
record
I've
been
saying
this
to
my
constituents
and
making
it
very
clear
some
of
the
consistent
concerns
I've
had
about
this
process.
A
Thank
you,
council
member
wansley
I,
appreciate
your
comments,
though
we
may
disagree
about
the
musical
chairs
piece.
I
want
to
remind
my
colleagues:
we've
had
four
public
meetings
and
presentations
for
this
effort
so
far.
The
goal
of
this
is
to
transition
our
government
to
have
an
executive
side
and
a
legislative
side
and
the
goals
being
a
more
efficient,
effective
and
Equitable
setup
for
our
city
government.

Y
A
She
heard
me
correctly:
okay,
okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
carries
in
that
item
is
referred
to
staff,
so
next
we
will
receive
reports
from
the
standing
committees
on
matters
to
be
considered

the
full
Council.

Thursday
we'll
begin

AB
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
council.
I
will
be
brief.
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
how
excited
I
am
for
this
Hennepin
Avenue
redesign
the
layout
moving
forward
and
to
finally
put
this
this
project
on
the
right
track
and
I
sincerely
believe
that
this
is
a
collective
win
for
our
city.
F
I
know
that
there
are.
There
are
some
that
were
perhaps
disappointed
with
the
result.
In
some
form,
I
have
been
saying
that
we're
unanimously
in
support
of
the
layout
I
know
councilmember
Goodman
who's
not
here
is
is
not
in
favor
of
the
layout
I
know
that
there
are
some
that
wanted
a
24-hour
bus
lanes.
That
being
said,
the
willingness
to
work
together
in
good
faith
to
get
not
just
to
this
layout,
but
also
to
a
data
driven
analysis,
is
a
big
win.
F
I
want
to
thank
the
the
council,
members,
chugtai
and
Goodman,
who,
whose
Wards
border
Hennepin
Avenue
and
were
incessantly
involved
from
very
early
on
for
their
willingness
to
work
together
to
get
to
a
win.
U
You
chair,
palmisano
I,
just
want
to
Echo
the
mayor's
sentiments
and
and
really
just
thank
my
colleagues
for
really
that
commitment
to
this
process,
the
the
commitment
to
our
residents
and
and
really
showing
the
City
of
Minneapolis
that
we
can
work
together
to
come
up
with
Positive
Solutions
for
everyone
and
so
I
think
that's
the
kind
of
cooperation
that
our
city
is
yearning
for
and
deserves,
and
so
I
just
want
to
thank
the
mayor
and
and
all
of
my
colleagues
involved.
U
In
those
conversations
it's
really
critical
and
and
we
are
taking
a
step
towards
improving
Transportation,
fighting
climate
change
and
and
hopefully
creating
some
positive
support
for
the
small
women
on
people
of
color
owned
businesses
along
Hennepin,
Avenue.

Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Just
one
additional
item
that
I
forgot
to
mention
this
last
piece.
You
know
it's
it's
very
easy
to
sit
on
the
sidelines
and
criticize,
rather
than
contribute
to
proactive
Solutions
and
it's
hard
to
lean
in
and
to
be
there
in
the
arena,
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
make
the
city
a
better
place
with
answers
and
I
think
this
is
a
good
example
where
council
members
my
office,
City
staff,
we
work
together
to
make
that
happen
again.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
A
V
No,
the
same
I
was
just
gonna
thank
Casey.
He
let
me
know
earlier
that
it's
his
magical,
13th
anniversary
and
he
should
get
a
gift
of
diamonds,
diamonds,.
A
First,
I
I
should
declare
this
meeting
adjourned
thanks.
Everybody.
