A

B
B
Generation
after
generation.
This
measure
of
basic
justice
through
our
judicial
system,
has
been
denied
to
our
black
community
that
there
will
in
fact
be
black
residents
in
our
city
in
our
state,
in
in
our
nation.
That
are
stunned,
in
fact,
suspended
in
disbelief
that
the
jury
actually
delivered
this
moment.
B
Well,
that
reality
in
and
of
itself
speaks
volume
for
where
we
are
the
trauma
our
city
has
faced
the
trauma.
Our
nation
has
faced
the
pain
over
this
last
year
for
some
we've
seen
drop
by
drop,
a
slow,
steady
and
unrelenting
uncertainty,
and
for
so
many
it's
been
incalculable
loss
and
solitude
for
our
black
neighbors
in
particular.
B
B
We
are
a
city
that
is
capable
of
extraordinary
progress
and
what
makes
our
democracy
work
and
what
will
make
our
community
stronger
and
what
will
ultimately
inform
our
ability
to
honor
george
floyd's
life
in
both
word
and
deed,
will
be
our
collective
willingness
to
have
that
active
participation
in
shaping
our
future
to
make
sure
that
the
precision
of
our
actions
match
the
precision
of
the
harm
that
was
initially
inflicted.
Now
is
our
time
in
this
city.
B
B
B
B
Council
vice
president
jenkins
and
council
member
alan
dracano
have
joined
us.
They
are
our
council
members
that
shared
the
intersection
through
which
george
floyd
was
murdered,
at
which
george
floyd
was
murdered,
and
I
would
like
to
invite
up
council
vice
president
jenkins
right
now,
who
has
been
a
champion
in
every
way,
shape
and
form
of
the
progress
that
we
all
need
to
see.
C
C
C
I
love
you
earlier
today.
I
did
an
interview
and
I
was
asked
what
do
I
think
george
floyd
square,
the
intersection
of
38th
in
chicago
means
to
minneapolis,
and
I
just
want
to
say:
I've
been
literally
toiling
at
38th
and
chicago
for
well.
Over
two
decades
I
have
long
coined
the
intersection
of
38th
in
chicago
the
soul
of
this
city.
C
B
D
D

B

A
C
B
This
is
kind
of
an
open-ended
question
here,
but
what's
next
for
the
city
here,
and
what's
next
for
the
intersection
of
38th
and
chicago
here,
I'll
take
each
each
question
here
in
turn,
the
question
is:
what's
next
for
the
city
and
also
what's
next
for
the
intersection
at
38th
and
chicago.
The
intersection
of
38th
in
chicago,
indeed
has
multiple
truths
associated
with
it,
as
is,
was
being
displayed
for
the
last
several
hours.
B
That
is.
That
is
absolutely
true.
It's
also
true
that
this
will
and
has
been
a
very
important
transportation
line,
planned
for
quite
some
time
through
our
bus
rapid
transit
system
in
the
form
of
the
d-line.
It
is
also
true
that
neighbors
surrounding
that
intersection
have
been
subjected
to
far
too
much
crime
and
violence.
B
Over
these
last
seven
eight
months,
the
violence
has
been
unacceptable.
Everyone
should
have
the
ability
to
use
their
sidewalk
to
have
their
kids
play
outside
free
from
you
know,
in
a
safe
atmosphere,
and
so
you
know
moving
forward.
As
the
chief
has
mentioned
there,
there
will
be
a
a
reopening
of
the
intersection,
but
it
is
not
a
going
back
to
normal.
A
B
One
of
the
big
differences:
there
are
many
differences
between
last
summer
in
late
may
and
early
june,
and
right
now,
one
of
the
biggest
differences
in
terms
of
planning
has
been
time.
We've
had
time
to
prepare,
prepare
in
the
way
of
establishing
formalized
agreements
with
our
community
members
and-
and
we
have
done
so,
making
sure
that
we
have.
B
As
the
nights
and
the
days
ahead,
progress
we've
made
sure
to
establish
formalized
agreements
with
you
know:
neighborhood
associations
block
captains,
neighborhood
leaders,
recognizing
that
there
are
moments
when
the
best
person
to
deliver
the
message,
doesn't
necessarily
work
directly
for
the
city
and
isn't
necessarily
myself
so
making
sure
to
empower
those
community
voices
has
been
a
really
critical
to
some.
There
is
a
great
level
of
discomfort
due
to
the
presence
of
of
of
law
enforcement
and
and
simultaneously
you
know,
we
need
to
keep
our
city
safe.
B
B
I
can't
give
you
an
exact
number
of
days
at
this
point,
but
I
know
we'll
be
in
collaboration
with
a
number
of
the
different
jurisdictions
that
are
involved
in
operation
safety
net
itself,
and
I'll
also
note
that
chief
aradando,
in
fact
intended
to
be
here,
but
the
press
conference
itself
got
pushed
back
due
to
due
to
a
number
of
different
media
reasons
and
he's
with
the
command
staff.
As
we
speak,.
B
You
know
for
my
own
purposes,
speaking
for
myself,
change
has
been
long
overdue,
regardless
of
the
outcome
of
this
verdict.
Indeed,
it's
justice
today,
but
we
need
to
see
justice
tomorrow
and
justice
on
thursday
and
justice
on
friday
and
continued,
and
we
strongly
believe
that
a
big
part
of
that
is
deep
structural
change
in
the
way
that
our
police
department
operates
and
there's.
There
are,
of
course,
always
differences
of
opinion
as
to
what
exactly
that
transformation
reform,
whatever
you
want
to
call.
B
It
looks
like,
but
you
know,
chief
ardando
and
I
have
issued
a
litany
of
changes
to
our
policy,
everything
from
overhauling
our
use
of
forced
policy
to
banning
no
knock
warrants
in
all,
but
exigent
circumstances.
Embedding
a
city
attorney
in
the
process
to
ensure
that
disciplinary
practices
are
expedited
as
quickly
as
possible
and
making
sure
the
de-escalation
is
centered
in
everything
we
do,
including
the
reporting
structure
itself.
B
Now
those
are
just
a
few
examples
and
our
office,
along
with
council
members
with
me
here
today,
council
members
that
are
not
here,
have
also
worked
very
hard
towards
safety
beyond
policing,
noting
that
not
every
instance
needs
a
response
from
an
officer
with
a
gun,
whether
that's
social
workers
or
mental
health
responders.
We
all
believe
that
that
those
are
very
important
components
of
the
work
ahead
and
we
also
need
police.
B
E
B
Miss
yokish's
question
was
how
these
multiple
different
officer-in-involved
killings
have
impacted
the
city
and
and
ultimately,
where
we're
going
from
here,
given
that
the
funeral
of
of
dante
wright
is
coming
very
shortly,
you
know
what
happens
in
brooklyn
center
impacts
minneapolis
what
happens
in
minneapolis
impact
brooklyn
center,
and
we
hope
that
what
happens
here
in
our
state
has
a
significant
impact
on
the
rest
of
the
globe.
I
mean
the
words
that
have
been
said,
be
they
in
churches,
mosques,
barber
shops
or
classrooms.
B
The
world
over
they've
had
an
impact
on
so
many
people
throughout
our
country,
perhaps
more
than
anyone
could
have
expected
in
so
many
instances.
This
has
been
a
centuries
in
the
making
reckoning
around
racial
justice
and
the
the
incidents
that
happen,
whether
in
chicago
or
here,
we
should
be
felt
we.
We
should
feel
them
quite
acutely,
and
we
know
that
they're,
especially
felt
by
by
and
acutely
by
our
communities
of
color.
