We
want
to
say
thank
you
for
doing
that
peacefully
with
that.
I'm
also
happy
again
to
report
that
we
continue
to
plan.
We
know
that
this
was
the
first
day
of
the
trial
and
our
plans
encompass
everything,
and
so
we
know
that
this
is
going
to
go
on
for
for
several
weeks
and
so
our
osn
our
operation
safety
net
planning
does
just
that.
It
encompasses
that
at
this
time,
you're
going
to
hear
from
other
leadership
of
our
operation
safety
net.
So
thank
you.
C
C
But
if
today
is
something
that
we
can
see
in
the
future,
I'm
very
proud
of
people
for
exercising
their
first
memories
legally
and
lawfully,
and
we
appreciate
that,
as
far
as
the
continuing
of
the
trial
we'll
this
group
will
pivot
and
we'll
learn
and
adapt
to
whatever
happens
to
the
trial.
But
again
it's
going
to
be
safe.
We're
going
to
do
our
job
to
make
sure
people
exercise
their
first
amendment
right
legally
lawfully
and,
if
need
be,
we
will
maintain
order
and
peace.
But
again,
thank
you
for
being
peaceful.
C
D
Thanks
sheriff,
so
my
name
is
matt
langer.
I
have
the
honor
and
privilege
of
serving,
as
chief
of
the
minnesota
state
patrol,
just
a
few
comments
today,
number
one
I'll
continue
to
underscore
the
value
of
the
planning
and
the
preparation
and
the
coordination
of
the
broader
public
safety
community,
some
of
which
is
represented
here
today.
It's
going
to
be
very
important
as
we
move
through
this
period
of
time.
D
There
are
many
unknowns
with
the
court
process
and
we're
part
of
those
unknowns
wondering
and
waiting
for
the
court
to
move
forward
with
whatever
next
steps
look
like
and
how
we
can
respond.
Accordingly,
the
plan
we
have
been
collectively
working
on
is
flexible,
we're,
nimble
and
able
to
respond
to
whatever
emerges.
It's
also
important
to
point
out
that
it's
based
upon
public
safety
and
the
two
missions.
D
Lastly,
I'll
underscore
what
both
the
chief
and
sheriff
said
that
we're
very
thankful
to
everyone
who
came
out
both
yesterday
and
today
and
let
their
voice
be
heard
in
a
way
that
was
peaceful
and
in
demonstrating
a
way
that
minnesota
can
do
this.
The
right
way
it
didn't
require
any
law
enforcement
response
at
all,
which
is
the
best
kind
of
protest.
D
From
my
point
of
view,
it
was
a
wonderful
statement
about
how
this
can
be
done,
the
right
way
and
in
a
way
that
minnesota
sees
time
and
time
again,
and
I
hope
that
continues
through
this
period
of
time
in
our
state's
history.
I
now
have
the
opportunity
to
introduce
john
harrington
minnesota's,
commissioner
of
the
department
of
public
safety.
E
Commissioner,
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
john
harrington,
I'm
the
commissioner
of
the
department
of
public
safety
and
a
couple
quick
pieces
of
information,
the
first
of
which
is
almost
a
non-piece
of
information.
There
continues
to
be
no
credible,
imminent
threat
to
the
trial
or
to
the
hennepin
county
government
center
or
to
the
twin
cities
area
that
we
are
tracking,
and
I
know
my
partner
from
the
fbi,
who
is
also
here.
Will
I
think
echo
that
that
comment.
E
I
think
that's
an
important
piece
of
information,
because
while
there
is
no
credible
threat,
we
have
been
working
with
community
intimately
to
make
sure
that
community
groups
faith
groups
can
have
their
voices
heard.
I
was
exceptionally
pleased
with
some
of
the
conversations
I
had
last
week
with
interfaith
congregations:
ministers,
synagogues
and
mosques
about
their
opportunity
to
come
to
the
downtown
area,
to
make
sure
that
they
felt
that
they
and
their
congregation's
voice
can
be
heard.
E
I
think
last
night's
or
la
yesterday
afternoon
or
last
night's
silent
vigil
at
silent
march
was
emblematic
of
the
work
that
so
many
faith.
Leaders
in
our
community
are
doing
to
make
sure
that
the
memory
of
george
floyd
is
not
forgotten
and
yet,
at
the
same
time
making
sure
their
congregations
are
feeling
protected
and
safe
as
they
continue
to
move
forward.
E
We
are
basing
our
work
on
information
so
rather
than
rumor
control.
What
we
are
basing
is
good,
solid
information
and
we
are
very
appreciative
of
the
community
that
has
given
us
calls
and
continues
to
help
us
understand.
What's
going
on
in
the
community
and
on
the
ground.
Our
plans,
as
has
been
said,
will
change
as
the
information
changes,
but
given
no
credible
threat.
I'm
really
optimistic
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
move
forward,
as
our
plan
is
laid
out.
E
As
I
mentioned,
we've
been
continuing
to
work
with
community
groups
and
business
groups.
That's
going
to
continue.
I
know
on
both
sides
of
the
river.
I've
been
really
impressed
with
the
outreach
from
the
business
community,
especially
lately
they
have
been
very,
very
attentive
to
what
they
can
expect
and
what
they
should
be
doing
in
preparation
for
this.
E
Finally,
for
those
that
are
interested,
especially
for
those
that
join
us
on
social
media
know
that
operation
safety
net
is
is
alive
and
well
on
both
dps
and
on
a
variety
of
other
social
media
platforms,
and
that
you
can
get
regular
updates
that
way,
as
well
as
tuning
in
to
the
press
conferences
that
we'll
have
at
this
time.
I
have
the
pleasure
introducing
the
attack,
the
the
adjutant
general
for
the
state
of
minnesota
general
mankey.
F
Thank
you,
commissioner
harrington.
My
name
is
major
general
sean
mankey
and
I'm
privileged
to
be
the
agent
jumpers
general
for
the
state
of
minnesota.
In
conjunction
with
the
plan
we
have
just
under
100
soldiers
deployed
supporting
primarily
the
hennepin
county
and
chief
aerodondo
around
the
hennepin
county
government
center.
F
These
soldiers
are
part
of
our
first
armored
brigade,
part
of
the
34th
red
bull
infantry
division,
and
they
are
operating
in
accordance
with
the
planning
that
we
have
done
up
until
this
up
until
this
time.
Thank
you
for
your
your
support.
F
We
hope,
for
you
know
a
quiet
time
as
we
move
forward
and
we're
prepared
to
increase
that
number
or
decrease
that
number,
depending
on
what
happens
with
the
trial.
As
we
move
forward,
I
will
be
followed
by
the
minneapolis
fire
department,
chief
chief
tyner.
G
As
the
as
the
case
moves
closer
to
going
to
the
jury,
we
are
prepared
to
staff
up
and
we
are
confident
that
we
will
have
the
number
of
firefighters
available
to
us
to
implement
the
strategies
that
we
have
determined
for
civil
unrest.
G
So
with
that,
we
have
been
planning
for
months
along
with
all
these
agencies
that
you
see
here
with
us,
and
we
are
confident
that
should
any
problems
arise
that
we
will
be
able
to
respond,
and
again
with
that
said,
the
minneapolis
fire
department
is
also
very
happy
that
so
far
we
have
started
out.
On
a
peaceful
note
and
that
people
are
protesting
peacefully
and
legally
and
the
way
that
things
should
be
done,
and
so
thank
you
for
that,
chief
aerodynamic.
H
H
Specifically,
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
comments
of
commissioner
harrington
and
the
work
of
the
bureau
of
criminal
apprehensions
fusion
center,
as
well
as
hennepin
county's,
criminal
information
sharing
and
assessment
group
that
conducted
a
joint
risk
assessment,
and
so
that's
the
factual
information
that
was
referenced
and
it
set
a
a
good
foundation
for
us
in
undertaking
activity
in
support
of
operation
safety
net.
The
fbi
continues
to
support
the
partners
with
specialty
resources
and
expertise.
H
Lastly,
as
was
mentioned,
the
fbi
has
been
contributing
to
community
and
public
outreach.
Speaking
with
religious
leaders
and
other
community
groups,
one
to
share
a
common
awareness
of
the
plans
that
we
have
put
forth
as
a
public
safety
collective,
but
also
again
to
underscore
the
importance
of
community
participation
and
the
reporting
of
suspicious
activity
and
we're
asking
the
communities
to
help
us
with
our
public
safety
mission
and
trust
law
enforcement
report.
H
B
Weeks
with
that,
we'd
like
to
open
up
for
any
questions
our
media
partners
may
have,
I
think.
B
B
As
far
as
the
number
of
officers,
I
will
tell
you
that
right
now,
besides
minneapolis
certainly
are
hennepin
county
deputies.
B
There
are
also
our
state
patrol
complement,
so
there
will
be
other
agencies
that
will
continue
to
build
up
throughout
the
phases
we
mentioned
that
operation
safety
has
four
phases.
One
has
been
the
pre-planning,
we
have
just
started
phase
two,
which
is
the
start
of
jury
selection
process
and
then
phase
three,
which
would
be
ultimately
if
there
is
a
jury
verdict
which
I
think
all
of
our
metrowide
community
will
see
a
visible
optical
ramp
up
of
of
those
resources
and
then
phase
four
will
be
the
demobilization
phase.
B
B
I
I
would
say
it's
well
over
100
officers.
I
I
can
get
you
some
more
of
those
specific
details
in
terms
of
the
number
of
officers.
I
I
notice
you
know
we
have
departments
as
far
away
as
saint
cloud
and
around
greater
minnesota
involved
in
this.
Have
any
of
them
been
activated
yet.
B
And
are.
B
You
know
I
I,
the
question
was
of
those
agencies
that
operate
out
of
greater
minnesota
have
any
of
them
been
activated
as
of
today.
I
don't
have
that
answer
for
you
right
now,.
I
B
Yeah,
the
primary
public
safety
resources
that
are
that
have
been
in
place
from
phase
one
to
now
phase
two
are
representative
of
the
the
individual
jurisdictions
you
see
behind
me.
B
Yes,
so
the
the
situations
where
we
would
be
ramping
up
those
additional
jurisdictions
from
outside
of
the
area,
that's
part
of
that
phase-in
process.
So
our
coordination
team,
our
operation
safety,
net
coordination
team-
they
have
the
dates
they
have
the
times
they
have
the
shifts
worked
out,
and
so
I'm
sure
at
our
next
weekly
briefing,
we
can
get
you
some
more
information
on
that.
I
You've
probably
seen
some
of
the
criticism
in
the
news
and
elsewhere
about
the
security
build
up
the
fencing,
the
razor
wire
and
there's
people
arguing
that
this
sets
the
message
that
people
protesters
will
become
violent,
and
this
is
this
is
overkill.
I
B
The
question
being
there's
been
some
criticism
from
some
in
our
communities
regarding
all
the
preparations
they've
seen
from
the
barricades
the
fencing,
the
razor
wire.
My
my
response
to
that
is
that
as
a
unified
command
as
part
of
operation
safety
net,
all
of
the
leaders
that
you
see
standing
behind
me
they
have
been.
We
have
all
been
very
intentional
about
the
public
safety
of
our
of
our
metro
area
and
of
our
state.
B
We
recognized
lessons
learned
from
last
year,
and
so
we've
tried
to
balance
that,
but
our
first
and
primary
concern
is
for
the
safety
of
our
of
our
people
here
in
the
in
the
city
and
certainly
here
in
greater
minnesota,
and
so
that's
going
to
be
first
and
primary,
but
we
have
also
done
an
important.
You
know.
Many
of
us
talked
about
the
outreach
commissioner.
Harrington
talked
about
the
outreach
our
special
agent
charge.
Paul
talked
about
the
outreach
you
know
meeting
with
our
faith,
leaders
meeting
with
organizations
and
community
members.
B
That's
been
a
part
of
what's
been
taken
into
this
planning
as
well.
We
know
that
for
some
seeing
a
lot
of
our
folks
in
this
uniform
for
some
can
be
traumatic
and
we've
taken
that
into
account
too,
and
so
we've
been
balancing
that
with
what
it
looks
like
environmentally
with
fencing
and
barricades,
but
also
recognizing.
We
have
to
keep
our
community
safe.
So.
I
Can
we
expect
to
see
the
posture
that
we're
seeing
now
with
the
officers
and
national
guard
holders
on
the
streets,
and
can
we
expect
to
see
similar
numbers
if
continuing
to
stay
out
on
the
streets
and
patrol
if
there
is
a
delay
of
weeks
or
months
in
the
trial,
or
would
that
be
drawn
down
at
all?
If
there's
nothing
happening
in
the
courthouse.
B
Yeah,
as
colonel
anger
mentioned,
we
don't
dictate
the
the
the
court
process
or
any
sort
of
outcomes,
and
we
have
no
preconceived
notions
on
that.
Our
our
plans
obviously
take
into
account.
You
know
the
if
it's
going
to
be
a
protracted
period
of
time,
staffing,
obviously
resources,
but
we
will
certainly
as
a
unified
command.
We
will
certainly
have
those
discussions.
We
are,
we
are
briefing
and
having
conversations
daily,
and
so
we
again
we'll
we'll
be
flexible.
B
Our
plans
will
be
flexible,
they'll
be
adaptable,
and
but
our
primary
concern
again
is
making
sure
that
everyone
can
peacefully
practice
their
first
amendment
rights,
but
but
keeping
our
our
area
safe.
