A
A
A
I
talked
with
leaders
from
our
black
community
this
morning
and
they're,
not
surprised
at
all,
been
saying
this
for
years
for
decades
and
for
generations
they've
been
talking
about
the
misconduct
that
was
identified,
they've
been
talking
about
the
need
for
a
culture
shift
a
culture
shift.
We
need
to
not
just
acknowledge,
but
do
something
about
and
act
with
precision
our
black
community
deserves
better.
A
A
There
is
honor
in
this
work
of
getting
up
every
morning
and
doing
a
tremendous
job
on
behalf
of
an
extraordinary
city,
whether
that's
picking
up
the
trash
cleaning,
the
streets,
whether
that
is
keeping
people
safe
or
making
sure
that
people
have
safe
and
affordable
housing.
There's
honor
in
that
work.
There
is
not
honor
in
the
substance
of
the
report
that
we've
seen.
A
A
A
A
We
have
an
opportunity
to
make
sure
that
everyone
is
treated
with
the
respect
and
the
dignity
that
they
deserve,
that
everyone
and
every
division
and
department
within
an
office
of
community
safety,
operates
with
a
comprehensive
approach,
whether
that's
mental
health
response,
police
officer
response
fire
or
the
necessary
outreach
that
we
need
in
our
city
there's
a
whole
lot
of
work
ahead,
and
I
think
we
all
collectively
feel
that
conviction.
Right
now
we
haven't
been
sitting
on
our
hands.
A
A
A
We
appreciate
the
collaboration
and,
of
course
we
want
that
partnership
to
continue,
and
with
that
I'd
like
to
invite
up
to
the
podium
council,
member
latricia
evita,
who
is
the
chair
of
our
public
safety
committee,
you'll
hear
from
a
number
of
others,
and
then
we
will
open
it
up
to
questions.
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
press
and
the
media
for
covering
this
throughout.
A
B
I'm
committed
to
working
with
the
department
of
human
rights,
mayor
frye,
my
council,
colleagues,
the
community
and
mpd
to
implement
much
needed
reform
developing
and
sustaining
a
culture
of
anti-racism
accountability
and
respect
at
mpd
will
take
all
of
us
working
together.
This
is
going
to
be
a
very
hard
job,
but
I'm
up
for
the
task,
and
so
is
everyone
else
in
the
city
enterprise.
C
This
morning
the
minnesota
department
of
human
rights
briefed
us
and
then
released
a
report
detailing
findings
from
the
agency's
pattern
and
practice
investigation
of
the
minneapolis
police
department.
While
we
have
not
yet
had
the
opportunity
to
fully
digest
this
report
report,
the
points
raised
are
deeply
concerning
to
everyone
standing
before
you.
Today,
we
will
review
this
report
in
collaboration
with
city
leadership
and
community
members,
to
ensure
that
we
have
a
clear
understanding
of
every
issue
that
was
raised.
C
We'll
also
continue
to
cooperate
with
the
ongoing
investigation
being
conducted
by
the
department
of
justice.
During
the
nearly
two-year
period
of
this
investigation,
the
department
has
been
moving
forward
with
reforms
and
we're
not
waiting
to
move
forward
at
this
point
to
build
a
stronger
department,
we're
committed
to
providing
effective
constitutional
police
service,
the
service
that
people
across
our
community
want
and
need
and
deserve.
C
We
come
to
work
each
day
to
care
for
and
safeguard
our
community
members
protecting
lives
and
safety,
promoting
the
peace
and
preserving
the
rights
of
each
person.
That
is
why
we
became
police
officers,
and
I
expect
every
officer
and
civilian
employee
in
the
minneapolis
police
department
to
treat
all
members
of
the
community
with
dignity
and
respect.
A
D
What
pains
me
in
this
is
that
we
needed
a
report
to
validate
what
black
people
have
been
saying
for
decades
years.
This
is
my
father
told
me
stories
of
his
experience
and
I
stand
here
at
torn
because
I
work
for
the
city
of
minneapolis,
but
I'm
also
have
been
a
victim
of
inappropriate
activities
from
a
police
officer,
not
here
in
minneapolis,
but
what
I
want
to
say
is
that
I
will
not
be
tokenized.
I
stand
here
because
I
believe
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
I
believe
in
the
fact
that
this
has
to
change.
D
D
You
have
my
attention,
I'm
watching.
I
will
course
correct
if
I
see
something
wrong,
because
I
do
sit
in
a
position
of
power
and
I
will
not
sit
silently
when
I
see
something
wrong
today,
we
were
briefed
after
the
mayor
was
briefed
with
this
information.
I
don't
know
if
that
would
have
changed
before
the
the
new
government
structure
we
have
been
talking
with
the
silos
are
down,
and
I
work
with
every
every
department
head
and
complicated
issues.
So
I
look
at
this
as
no.
D
This
isn't
new,
but
I
do
look
at
this
as
true
transformational
change,
I'm
not
interested
in
change
on
the
surface,
I'm
going
deep
and
I'm
going
to
the
roof,
and
I
will
hold
the
mayor
accountable.
I
will
hold
interim
chief
accountable
and
I
will
hold
myself
accountable
because
I'm
here
to
lead
and
to
institute
change
in
anything
that
I
do
and
I
touch
in
any
room
that
I
am
in.
So
that
is
my
commitment
to
the
black
community.
D
A
D
A
Got
a
united
front
galvanized
around
making
the
necessary
change
and
the
culture
shift
that
we
need
to
see
not
just
in
the
police
department
but
throughout
our
city,
and
much
of
this
is
enabled
and
the
comprehensive
approach
that
we
want
to
see
is
in
part
made
by
the
change
to
the
government
structure
that
was
passed
this
last
year.
There's
still
work
to
be
done
to
set
a
lot
of
these
pieces
up,
but
that's
taken
place
right
now
with
that
we
will
open
it
to
questions.
E
A
A
We
have
to
be
more
deliberate,
it's
not
enough
just
to
have
a
policy
on
a
policy
change
on
paper
if
that
policy
isn't
ultimately
implemented
in
full
and
then
carried
out,
and
if
you
look
at
the
areas
that
are
addressed
in
the
report
itself,
there
are
policies
that
have
even
recently
been
shifted
to
account
for
the
shortcomings
that
we've
seen
in
the
area
of
of
discipline
and
outcomes.
We've
embedded
a
city
attorney
in
the
disciplinary
process
to
make
sure
that
these
investigations
are
conducted
as
thoroughly
as
possible
and
to
expedite
them
as
quickly
as
possible.
A
We're
hiring
two
new
minneapolis
police
department.
Auditors,
opcr,
the
office
of
police
conduct
and
review
has
doubled
investigative
staff.
We've
got
a
disciplined
matrix,
which
has
been
amended
once
several
years
ago,
we're
in
the
process
and
and
final
stages
here
of
amending
it
yet
again
to
make
sure
that
again
we're
able
to
hold
officers
accountable
in
training.
A
We've
got
an
early
intervention
system
that
will
be
built
out
in
the
coming
months
and
years.
We've
got
a
new
crowd,
control
policy,
limitations
on
pretext
stops
and
lower
level
traffic
offenses,
and
then
we're
making
improvements
on
areas
of
communication,
body,
ward,
camera
policies
etc.
Now
none
of
these
things
taken
either
individually
or
as
a
whole,
are
enough.
A
Anyone
that
tells
you
differently
is
full
of
it
yeah.
We
need
to
go
further
and
I
am
a
believer
that
part
of
instilling
accountability
is,
is
both
letting
officers
with
precision
know
what
is
to
be
expected?
Often
they
want
to
know
what
they
are
being
asked
to
do
with
precision,
and
I
think
that's
fair.
It's
about
making
sure
that
we've
got
management
over
top.
That
is
able
to,
on
a
day-to-day
basis,
manage
accountability.
One
manage
a
comprehensive
approach,
two
manage
response
in
the
immediacy
three
manage
emergency
situations
arise.
A
E
A
A
A
A
It
would
be
irresponsible
for
me
to
stand
up
here
today
prior
to
digesting
the
report
in
full
and
to
give
you
and
the
general
public
full
clarity
of
direction.
We
have
this
report
which
has
been
issued.
We
have
a
department
of
justice
investigation
that
is
ongoing
right
now
and
we
need
to
do
right
by
our
black
community.
We
need
to
do
right
by
our
city.
We
also
need
to
acknowledge
that
decisions
that
are
made
today
will
have
long
lasting
impact
to
present
and
future
administrations,
and
so
we
got
to
get
this
right.
G
So
there
are
a
lot
of
pretty
egregious
things
in
this
report,
but
you
could
almost
take
it
to
the
low
level
and
say
something
that
really
stands
out.
Is
the
slurs
being
used
against
residents
and
also
the
way
that
officers
speak
to
people
in
the
community,
so
that's
witnesses,
bystanders
etc,
using
profanity
and
that
sort
of
thing
why,
over
so
many
administrations,
so
many
different
chiefs
have?
Has
the
department
not
been
able
to
fix
this
one
simple
problem
that
officers
should
not
be
using
profanity
and
slurs
against
residents
here.
A
So
the
question
you
asked
is:
why
does
this
keep
happening?
I
I
think,
if
I
gave
you
one
simple
answer,
it
wouldn't
be
fair
and
it
wouldn't
be
honest.
There
are
systemic
racism
in
our
entire
society.
Let's
just
acknowledge
that
it's
not
limited
to
any
single
department,
it's
not
limited
to
any
single
group
or
people.
It's
it's
a
it's
a
reality
that
we
need
to
deal
with,
and
you
know
we
also
collectively
collectively
need
to
own
where
we've
messed
up
own,
where
there
have
been
shortcomings
but,
most
importantly,
chart
a
clear
path
forward.
A
The
systemic
inequities
associated
with
policing
and
more
broadly
in
society
are
poignant
and
obvious
in
minneapolis,
but
it's
not
limited
to
our
city
either.
I
think
it
it's
going
to
require
very
much
an
all
hands
on
deck
effort,
and
so
we
got
to
take
responsibility.
The
state's
got
to
take
responsibility.
A
G
I'm
just
asking:
where
is
the
breakdown
and
discipline
here?
Why
are
sergeants,
for
instance,
who
are
overseeing
officers
not
being
disciplined
when
this
happens
under
their
watch?
Why
has
this
happened
for
years
and
years
and
years?
This
seems
like
a
basic
thing,
but
there
are
high
level
things
to
deal
with,
but
this
is
something
that
seems
like.
It
should
be
easy.
Why
is
the
police
department
and
the
chiefs
and
yourself
not
believe.
A
A
I
I
can't
comment
on
each
one
of
these
individual
instances
that
you're
referencing,
because
I
imagine
that
they're
all
different,
but
there
is
truly
a
common
thread,
especially
if
you
read
the
report
and
it's
that
common
thread
that
we're
trying
to
pull
at
as
much
as
possible
to
get
the
honesty
and
get
the
truth.
Isn't.
H
A
I
think
there
are
many
people
that
will
take
this
opportunity
to
ask
the
question:
is:
why
would
anybody
enjoy?
Why
would
anybody
join
the
minneapolis
police
department
right
now
and
my
response
is:
this
is
an
opportunity
for
people
to
join
the
police
department.
That
wants
to
be
the
change
that
we're
all
insisting
upon.
They
want
to
be
part
of
that
culture
shift.
They
want
to
protect
and
keep
people
safe.
A
They
want
to
treat
people
with
dignity
and
respect
the
kind
of
dignity
and
respect
that
this
report
shows
has
often
been
missing
and
by
the
way
you
know-
and
I
mentioned
this
earlier-
the
report
clearly
pointed
out
the
need
for
a
culture
shift.
It
pointed
out
massive
issues,
issues
that
were
not
citing
for
the
first
time
today,
but
some
of
certainly
the
underpinning
facts
you
are
seeing
for
the
first
time
and
additionally,
you
know,
I
think
there
are
officers
that
are
also
reading
this
report
and
saying
to
themselves.
A
A
E
You
know
there
was
700
hours
of
body
camera
footage.
There
were
documents
that
were
provided.
You
thanked
your
city
staff
for
providing
those
documents.
This
was
all
on
record
that
this
was
happening
in
many
of
these
cases.
It's
detailed
in
this
report.
So
why
wasn't
this
addressed?
And
I
don't
know
if
that's
a
question
you
would
like
to
answer
or
if
the
interim
chief
would
like
to
answer,
but
this
was
on
camera,
so
to
speak.
A
So
again,
it
requires
us
to
get
into
each
one
of
the
specific
incidents,
but
I'd
be
happy
to
if
chief,
if
you,
if
you
care
to
address
what
we're
able
to
it.
So
much
of
this
we're
digesting
now
and
and
you're
asking
a
general
question
which
is
going
to
require
an
answer
with
specificity
and
we
got
to
digest
and
dig
into
the
report
to
give
you
something.
That's
honest
and
fair.
So.
A
I
I
mean
how
do
you
respond
to
that?
If
you're
saying
there
was
change,
there
was
people
trying
to
do
something
about
it.
You
know
saying
that
language
is
not
okay,
but
then
this
report
is
saying:
sergeants
leaders
we're
not
doing
anything
about
it
and
I
guess
and
second
part
of
that
question:
will
there
be
discipline
now,
after
this
report.
A
The
report
itself
covers
10
years,
potentially
even
beyond
that,
and
so
again
I
can't
comment
on
each
individual
case,
not
because
we're
hiding
anything
but
because
I
don't
know-
and
I
want
to
give
you
accurate
information.
This
covers
a
very
wide
swath
of
time
and
a
very
large
number
of
incidents
that
we're
going
to
have
to
dig
into
to
the
second
part
of
your
question.
A
F
Question
everybody:
the
state
investigators
said
this
pattern
of
discriminatory
policing
could
continue
in
part
because
of
a
lack
of
consistent
action
by
both
current
and
former
city
officials.
Do
you
feel
they've
characterized
your
efforts
to
change
policing
adequately,
and
why
should
people
have
faith
in
you
that
this
will
be
the
time
the
meaningful
change
occurs?.
A
A
A
A
true
culture
shift
is
about
people.
It
is
about
personnel,
it's
getting
the
right
individuals
in
it's.
Getting
the
wrong
individuals
out,
there's
quite
a
bit
of
work
to
be
done.
There
are
we
there
yet?
No
we're
not,
but
you've
got
a
united
team
here.
That
is
fully
embracing
the
shortcomings
both
past
and
present
previous
administrations
and
this
one
to
get
this
right.
So
the
message
here
is
is
one
of
a
unified
response
because,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
other
cities
have
had
investigations.
Other
other
cities
have
had
consent,
decrees
and
receiverships.
