A

C
C
You
I
realized
that
we
had
already
reached
40
and
maybe
we're
going
to
go
up
a
little
more
because
the
sun
is
shining
and
with
this
time
change,
look,
I,
don't
know
if
it's
me,,
but
you
can
feel
the
difference,
not
having
one
more
hour
of
daylight
helps
us
a
lot
so
that
the
weather
is
a
little
warmer
and
Psychologically,.
One
feels
that
winter
is
over,.
I
do
n't
know
about
you,,
but
now
we
would
like
to
see
how
the
flowers
are
budding.
Again,,
the
little
trees
can
be
seen,.
C
We
are
already
waiting
for
that,
I,
think
we
are
already
tired
of
winter
and
so
much
snow
and
I
hope
that
those
Snowfalls
and
snow
are
part
of
the
history
of
this
winter,
because
all
we
want
is
change
and
spring
That's
right
And.
All
we
want
is
snow,
but
lemon
snow,
medium,
lemon
snow.
We
don't
want
this
anymore
Girl,.
We
already
want
the
streets
to
be
clean.
Oh,,
but
look,
right
now
the
streets
are
being
cleaned.
Well,.
Those
holes
are
appearing.
Everywhere.,
Yes,
I.
Remember
a
lot
about
the
town.
C
The
chemicals
that
are
used
to
clean
the
salt
are
very
powerful,,
but
yes,
at
least
it
brings
back
good
memories
from
there,
from
the
city
or
town
where
we
are
from,
and
the
trips,
not
what
we
used
to
do.
When
we
were
there
that
is
at
least
the
good
that
the
bad
of
the
streets
leaves
us
and
speaking
of
the
change,
we
remind
all
the
people
to
wait
soon
in
Minneapolis
for
the
information,
because
every
year
when
the
April
season
arrives,
what
would
be
the
early
spring?
There
is
a
cleaning
day.
C
There
is
a
week
where
people
can
pick
up
and
clean
everything
they
no
longer
want,,
especially
large
objects
such
as
beds,,
dressers,,
mattresses,
and
that
day
there
is
a
special
day
where
they
can
be
left
there,
together
with
your
garbage,
can
so
that
the
city
trucks
can
pick
it
up,,
it
has
to
be
marked,
and
it
has
to
be
written
that
this
is
garbage
so
that
the
garbage
truck
can
take
it
away
because
the
rest
of
the
year,
they
can't
take
it
away.
So.
Every
year
we
clean
our
little
house,.
C
C
Signs
that
spring
is
coming
and
well,
too
Well,.
We're
still
here
with
this
joy
of
having
passed
the
driver's
licenses
for
everyone,
I.
Don't
know
how
you
were,,
how
the
audience
has
been
here
in
the
race,,
how
many
They
have
questions.
But.
We
know
that
there
are
many,
many
people
who
are
asking
what
are
the
requirements
that
they
are
going
to
ask
for,.
So
what
we
say
to
all
people
is
that
we
be
a
little
patient,
because
just
on
March
7,,
the
governor
of
Minnesota
timbos,
finished
signing
the
driver's
license
law
for
all
in
Minnesota.
C
Minnesota
has
now
become
the
19th
state
in
the
United
States
that
is
going
to
give
licenses
to
all,
and
one
of
the
things
that
was
achieved
was
that
the
license
that
you
are
going
to
have
or
the
identification
is
exactly
the
same
as
all
the
people
who
have
their
license,,
that
is,
it
will
not
be
marked,.
It
will
not
be
of
a
different
color,.
It
will
not
be
of
different
letters,.
It
is
the
same
standard
license
and
also
for
the
people
who
were
worried.
Sometimes,
true,
that
They
are
not
But.
What
happens
if
we
apply?
C
The
information
that
you
give
to
the
motor
and
vehicle
office
is
private
information
and
it
is
prohibited.
It
will
be
prohibited
because
it
is
already
a
law
that
Minnesota
shares
your
information
with,
for
example,,
the
migra
So.
We
are
In
other
words,,
protecting
the
information
of
all
people
when
they
get
their
license,.
The
license
is
not
marked
and
people
will
be
able
to
start
requesting
or
applying
for
their
licenses.
C
As
of
October
1
of
this
year.
So
get
ready
and
what
we
tell
you
To
everyone,
prepare
yourself,,
don't
wait,,
we
don't
know
all
the
documents
that
are
going
to
be
needed,,
but
we
do
know
that
the
passport
is
going
to
be
one
of
those
documents.
So.
If
you
have
your
passport,,
then
there
is
no
problem,,
but
if
you
You
already
have
it
expired,,
you
have
to
renew
it
And.
If.
A
C
You
don't
have
a
passport,,
then
you
have
to
make
an
appointment
and
there
they
will
ask
you
for
a
series
of
documents
that
I
don't
know
what
the
documents
are.
But
I.
Imagine
that
you
do
know
why.
If
you
are
Mexican,.
They
are
better
than
those
of
Ecuador
or
El.
Salvador.
We
already
have
consulates
from
El
Salvador,,
Mexico
and
Ecuador.
Here
in
the
Minneapolis
metropolitan
area
and
the
other
day
we
had
the
representatives
to
the
consul
to
the
new
consul
of
Salvador,
who
You
are
listening.
C
We,
send
you
greetings,
and
we
also
had
the
representative
of
the
Mexican
consulate.
I
hope
that
in
the
future
we
can
have
the
consul
or
the
consul,
because
a
new
consul
from
Ecuador
will
arrive
here
in
Mexico
in
Mexico,
sorry,
and
he
appears
in
Mexico,
but
no
It
is
Mexico
here.
Especially.
When
we
live
here
in
Minneapolis,,
when
we
already
have
many
many
places
where
we
can
enjoy
the
food,,
the
cuisine
and
the
Mexican
snacks
in
Hopefully.
C
In
the
future,
we
can
do
a
program
with
the
Ecuadorian
consul
for
all
our
audience
of
Ecuador
and
finally,,
as
I
have
said
in
other
places,.
It
is
time
to
put
the
name
of
Latinos
very
high,
because
now
that
we
have
a
license,
we
must
be
very
careful,,
very
careful
and
responsible
so
that
they
say
that
Latinos
know
how
to
drive
very
well
and
also
And.
We
will
also
be
able
Now
to
have
our
car
registered
in
our
name,.
C
B
C
He
is
going
to
tell
you
why
or
not
take
care
of
it
so
much
that
he
is
going
to
put
it
in
the
safe,.
You
don't
have
to
have
it
with
you,
When
you
are
driving
and
we
are
going
to
take
care
of
you,
as
I
have
said,.
We
are
going
to
proudly
provide
that
document
because
we
are
going
to
show
that
we
know
how
to
drive,
that
we
know
the
laws
of
road
laws
and
we
can
also
drive
a
car,,
a
car,,
your
truck,,
as
well
as
something
else
that
is
listen,.
C
It's
also
that
they
ask
But.
What
kind
of
license
is
it
and
well
I?
Ask
him
and,
for
example,
I
ask
you
run
to
When,
you
come
to
work,
you
come
driving
right
and
when
you
come
here,
you
bring
your
trailer
or
you
bring
your
car.
The
car
Ok.
If
you
came
in
a
trailer
That,
is
the
commercial
license
that
you
would
need.
B
C
I,
don't
think
anyone
has
is
going
to
drive
a
trailer
Because.
That
is
a
commercial
license,.
The
license
that
you
are
going
to
get
is
the
kind
of
license
that
is
for
cars,
trucks
and
those
family
transport
vehicles,
no
heavy
transport,.
That
is
another
type
of
licenses,
and
it
cannot
be
obtained
yet,,
unfortunately,
for
the
people
who
need
that
license,,
because
their
immigration
status
is
not
good.
C
Before
going
to
some
commercials,
be
very
careful
because
there
are
advertisements
circulating
where
they
offer
you
a
license
and
tell
you
pay
me
a
commission
and
I'll
help.
You
get
the
license.
That's
a
fraud,
that's
a
robbery
that
can't
be
done
by
yourself.
You
can
go,
ask
for
and
get
your
license.
No
one
can
take
your
exam.
Only
you
can
go
and
take
your
exam
and
have
your
license.
So
be
careful.
I
've
seen
those
ads.
So
please
don't
be
apart
of
this,
this
theft
and
this
fraud
international
licenses.
C
C
You
get
your
license
or
identification
from
the
state
of
Minnesota
And.
That's
all
the
information
we
have.
Today.
We
are
going
to
be
talking
about
a
very,
very,
very
important
issue.
We
are
going
to
have
with
us
the
representatives
of
one
of
the
very,
very
important
commissions
that
we
have
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
they
are
in
charge
of
receiving
the
complaints
that
exist
against
the
Minneapolis
police.
C
C
Certain
cases
that
well
they
don't
want
to
file
a
complaint,,
it
hasn't
been
all
right,.
But
ultimately
it
is
true
that
each
person
has
the
right
to
start
filing
a
complaint,
and
we
have
here
our
guests
who
are
going
to
be
speaking
to
us,,
informing
our
Latino
community,
especially
so
that
they
know
about
this
process
to
file
complaints
Or,
as
we
also
call
complaints
when
we
have
cases
in
it
with
the
Minneapolis
police.
C
C
You
Well
very
good
and
thank
you,
as
always,
for
joining
to
our
program,
My
city
Minneapolis,
and
today
we
are
going
to
tell
you
that
we
have
two
very
important
guests
and
it
is
going
to
be
a
conversation
that
I
think
is
very
important
for
our
community.
With
your
help,
we
are
going
to
interview
caela
mecana,
who
is
the
director
of
the
division
from
investigations
to
complaints
from
the
department
of
civil
rights
of
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
we
have
jean
jefferson,
who
is
the
new
director
of
this
commission.
C
E
E
E
C
E
E
And
there
are
different
ways
in
which
this
can
be
done.,
For
example,.
You
can
agree
to
do
this
by
denouncing
the
three
one
one
or
you
can
also
fill
out
a
complaint
form
that
can
be
obtained
from
the
city's
website
in
Minneapolis
mn
point
g
or
b,
or
you
can
also
obtain
these
forms
in
different
languages
and
in
addition
to
English.
They
are
in
Spanish
in
Somali,
ice
cream
and
a
toromo,
and
you
can
also
go
to
our
office,
which
is
located
in
City
Hall
in
office,
two
thirty-,
nine
Minneapolis.
C
C
E
Yes,
And:
this
has
to
do
with
different
areas.
For
example,
what
is
most
often
seen
is
in
jobs
or
in
the
home,
in
a
public
place
like
a
store,
a
gym
in
a
public
place
and
pardon
for
public
service
from
an
official
it
may
be
a
police
officer,
it
may
be
a
housing
inspector,
but
if
someone
feels
they
have
been
discriminated
against,
I
think
they
should
still
come
forward
and
file
a
complaint.
Even
If.
We
do
not
have
the
jurisdiction
to
do
that,.
C
Minneapolis,
Marcela,
with
your
help,,
is
considering
a
case
that
is
sometimes
common
in
our
community.
and,
for
example,
during
the
winter
there
are
people
who
report
that
the
windows
are
broken
in
a
house.
We
report
it
and
they
ignore
us.
If
you
can
summarize
it.
If
you
like
to
ask
if
this
would
perhaps
be
an
example
of
possible
discrimination
against
a
person
for
speaking
a
different
language
or
not
being
able
to
communicate
very
well
or
because
of
the
color
of
their
skin.
D
E
Of
course
it
could
be
depends
on
each
individual
case,
but
if
there
is
a
situation
in
which
there
are
people
who
are
white,
they
are
complaining
Exactly.
The
same
thing
that
a
person
who
is
not
white
is
complaining
and
realizes
that
the
treatment
is
different
from
them.
If
they
are
preparing
the
window
for
him,
for
example,
So.
C
A
lot
of
information,,
especially
because
as
Latinos
and
people
who
come
to
another
country,,
sometimes
we
feel
that
we
do
not
have
rights
that
we
do
not.
We
can
talk,
or
sometimes
the
status
and
immigration
of
a
person
inhibits
us.
The
fear
of
making
reports
prevents
us.
No,
it
does
not
help
us
and
well
sometimes
we
put
up
with
it
and
it
becomes
something
normal
I
want
to
ask
our
other
guest.
C
Why,
before,
following
this
truth,
I
know
that
he
was
already
waiting
for
me
very
patiently
Ah,,
but
I'm
going
to
go
back
right
now
with
Kela.
I
want
to
ask
him
why
the
two
things
are
somehow
connected,.
On
the
one
hand,
we
have
discrimination
and,
on
the
other
hand,
we
have
this
office
that
helps
to
review
and
evaluate
the
conduct
of
the
police.
So
I,
don't
know
exactly
how
to
define
How,
to
say
this,
but
we're
going
to
ask
Joan
to
tell
us
about
the
work
they're
doing
in
her
office
with
please
more.
E
Good
Yes
in
the
police
conduct
review
office,
which
is
also
called
the
ocr.
We
investigate
complaints
of
police
misconduct
in
the
city
of
minápoles
and
we
basically
have
three
objectives
and
one
is
to
make
sure
that
the
services
of
the
police
are
delivered
in
a
legal,
AND,
non-discriminatory
manner
and
that
it
is
delivered
to
the
public
a
way
to
participate
in
this
review
of
police
misconduct
and
also
Investigate
allegations
of
misconduct
by
miapolis
police
department
officers.
C
E
Well,
First
of
all
I
am
going
to
answer
that
which
is
in
two
parts.
The
first
part
is
how
this
complaint
is
going
to
be
presented,
and
the
person
can
do
it
online
with
an
online
form.
They
can
also
send
it
by
mail.
They
can
call
three
one
one.
They
can
also
do
it
by
talking
to
a
department,
employee
of
any
police
department
and
also
by
talking
to
someone
from
the
city.
E
C
D
E
Well,
let
me
tell
you
that
the
other
agency
is
a
neutral
agency,
as
I
had
told
you,.
We
handle
the
investigations
and
we
have
a
panel
called
the
ccpo
panel,
and
that
panel
is
composed
by
police
officers
and
civilians,
two
police
officers
and
decide,
and
they
look
at
and
examine
all
the
evidence,
the
camera,
that
the
policeman
carries
all
the
information
that
we
give
them
and
they
decide.
E
If
that
information
has
merit
to
be
presented
as
cases,
and
it
is
justified
to
hand
it
over
to
the
police
chief
who
is
going
to
be
the
person
who
is
going
to
look
at
and
decide
what
disciplinary
action
is
going
to
be
imposed
on
that
police
officer.
But
it
is
important
that
the
community
participate
in
this
ccpo
Let's.
C
C
E
E
Yes,
I
mean,,
the
ccpo
started
in
December
2,
and
it
has
fifteen
members
and
of
them.
Thirteen
They
are
members
who
are
elected
by
the
councilors
in
each
of
the
electoral
districts
and
also
the
mayor.
If
the
mayor
also
elects
and
then
those
that
those
people
Of
course,
there
will
be
a
variety
of
people,
a
representative
sample
people
who
have
been
in
prison
before
people
who
have
different
abilities,
people.
E
E
Well
I
would
like
to
to
clarify
that
this
commission
is
going
to
meet
on
April
25,
but
we
made
the
announcement
on
February
27
and
the
deadline
expired
on
March,
20
and
so
far
we
have
many
requests
168
many
people.
This
is
a
great
opportunity
to
be
able
to
make
a
a
significant
impact,
a
significant
impact
on
this.
E
Yes
also,
the
work
gives
the
opportunity
also
to
all
residents
of
power,
to
observe
this
meeting
and
also
to
be
able
to
give
their
opinion
in
the
committee.
Everyone
can
collaborate.
This
is
something
very
important
for
the
community
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
because
it
gives
them
the
opportunity
for
everyone
to
participate
in
this
review
of
police
conduct.
C
Thank
you
Marcela
and
We
are
running
out
of
time,
but
first
I
would
like
to
ask
both
of
you
a
question.
I,
don't
know
if
someone
or
both
want
to
answer
it.
Sometimes.
It
is
very
difficult
to
file
a
complaint,
because
we
think
that
cases
of
discrimination
are
ignored
and
many
times
when
we
do
not
have
a
Immigration
status,
or
we
feel
that
we
do
not
have
the
right
to
file
complaints
against
the
police.
C
What
message.
Can
we
give
them?
That?
Is
my
question,
Marcial.
What
message?
Can
we
give
to
the
Latino
community
that
is
listening
to
us
so
that
they
know
that
they
do
have
the
right?
and
that
their
immigration
status
does
not
matter
But?
They
can
file
discrimination,
complaints
and
also
complaints
against
the
police.
E
Well,
first
I
am
going
to
say
that
it
does
not
matter
what
the
immigration
status
of
a
person
is.
We
all
have
the
right
to
denounce
a
Bad
behavior
So
I,
If
so,
I
invite
everyone
to
do
it
online
by
mail
or
you
can
go
directly
to
the
office..
We
are
at
the
city
government
office
number
two
thirty-nine.
Start
the
process
of
your
complaint,
and
we
will
look
at
what
It's
about.
D
E
Well
I'm
going
to
say
the
same
thing
that
John
said,
but
I'm
also
going
to
emphasize
that
you
can
make
the
complaint
anonymously
Obviously.
We
won't
be
able
to
follow
up
if
it's
done
anonymously,
but
that
way
anyway,
the
city
is
finding
out
and
we
can
see
if
there
is
any
action
we
could
take.
You
can
fill
out
that
online
complaint
form
and
we
do
not
require
you
to
identify
yourself.
C
Thanks
to
Marcela
And,
also
thanks
to
Yami,
who
is
the
one
for
all
the
information
Because.
We
want
the
community
Latina,
know
and
know
that
if
you
have
cases
of
discrimination
or
have
cases
of
complaints
about
the
conduct
of
the
police,
you
can
do
it
and
it
is
through
the
phone
311
online
or
if
you
want,
you
can
go
directly
to
the
Palace
as
the
Latinos
call
it
there
in
downtown.
Minneapolis
is
office.
