A
A
good
afternoon,
thank
you
so
much
for
everyone
being
here
today
for
this
important
and
critical
conversation
regarding
safety
in
our
city,
big,
thank
you
to
sandra
samuels
and
the
north
side,
achievement
zone
for
hosting
us
today,
and
it's
been
nearly
a
year
since
the
murder
of
george
floyd
and
right
now,
minneapolis
is
at
a
crossroads.
A
A
Parents
and
families
are
grappling
with
the
reality
that
they
don't
feel
comfortable
having
their
child
jump
on
a
trampoline
without
the
risk
of
gun
violence
or
a
stray
bullet
for
trinity
for
ten-year-old
ladavian
for
the
thousands
of
residents
and
and
families
who
have
been
impacted
by
gun
violence
this
year.
This
moment
must
mark
a
turning
point.
A
So
today
we
are
announcing
a
series
of
new
proposals
that
we
will
push
forward
for
a
new
minneapolis
model
around
community
safety
and
accountability
and
immediate
change
so
developed
over
these
last
several
months.
This
framework
outlines
a
broader
investment
in
a
compassionate
approach
to
public
safety.
Community-Backed
models
for
safety
throughout
our
communities,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
addressing
the
root
causes
of
crime
and
violence
that
we're
seeing
throughout
our
city,
the
violence
that
we
have
seen
the
crime
and
and
the
gunshots.
A
Let's
be
very
clear,
it's
unacceptable
in
every
way,
shape
and
form,
so
we're
going
to
maintain
our
focus
on
and
making
sure
that
we
increase
the
cadence
of
our
department,
level
changes
and
accountability
within
the
police
department,
and,
yes,
we're
also
going
to
demand
immediate
intervention
prevention
and
response
by
both
law
enforcement
officers,
as
well
as
through
our
office
of
violence
prevention.
Investments
will
be
made
on
those
facets.
A
The
ultimate
goal
of
this
continued
push
right
now
is
to
make
all
minneapolis
neighborhoods
safer,
whether
you're
on
the
north
side
or
the
south
side,
families
need
to
see
feel
safe.
Parents
need
to
feel
safe,
sending
their
kid
out
on
the
sidewalk
to
play
and
recreate
and
I'll
tell
you.
The
plan
that
we
have
developed
and
upheld
has
several
different
key
priority
areas.
The
first
is
immediate,
it's
around
summer
safety
response,
and
we
want
to
institute
that
as
quickly
as
possible.
A
Department-Wide
accountability,
because
we
believe
that
that
the
concepts
of
public
safety
and
accountability
they're
not
mutually
exclusive,
they
are
in
fact
intrinsically
linked
and
safety
beyond
policing
sandra
samuels
has
said
it
a
thousand
times
we'll
say
it
again.
We
believe
in
a
both
end
approach,
we
believe
in
safety,
beyond
policing
and
accountability,
and
we
also
know
that
we
need
law
enforcement,
so
I'll
take
each
of
those
parts
in
turn
and
we'll
focus
on
a
few
of
the
more
significant
items
that
are
in
the
plan
that
you
all
should
have.
A
So
in
the
near
term,
chief
ardando
has
been
in
very
close
contact
with
county
with
state,
with
metro,
transit
and
federal
partners
to
crack
down
on
those
that
are
committing
violent
crimes.
Here
in
minneapolis
that
work
will
include
added
investigative
and
civilian
capacity.
It
will
include
closer
collaboration
with
community
members
and
a
tailored
outreach
for
resources
to
ensure
that
victims,
witnesses
and
those
that
are
most
impacted
by
this
violence
get
the
support
that
they
need
each
and
every
day,
we'll
also
soon
be
able
to
add
more
tools
to
our
toolbox.
A
Work
around
keeping
neighborhoods
safe,
we'll
also
be
pitching
a
new
program
championed
by
gail
smaller,
who
is
here
with
us,
along
with
service
employees,
international
union
seiu
local
26,
which
will
have
a
specific
focus
here
in
north
minneapolis,
but
could
be
piloted
for
the
greater
good
throughout
our
city
and
on
the
south
side
as
well.
The
community
safety
specialist
program
has
the
promise
and
potential
to
immediately
expand
the
capacity
that
we
need.
A
We
would
immediately
boost
prevention
enforcement
work
through
a
cross-jurisdictional
task
force
as
well.
That
would
be
anchored
by
chief
aradando.
He
and
his
team
have
been
putting
together
a
proposal
to
make
this
happen.
The
needs
of
our
city
are
clear
and
they
are
exceedingly
obvious.
Gun
violence
is
traumatizing
our
neighborhoods
across
our
city,
including,
and
especially
right
here
in
north
minneapolis.
A
I'm
not
naive
enough
to
think
that
there
won't
be
some
political
pushback
to
making
these
different
parts
of
this
plan
a
reality,
but
if
there
ever
was
a
time
for
local
governments
to
come
together
for
community
for
elected
officials
to
rally
around
a
common
cause,
which
is
both
safety
in
our
communities
and
accountability.
A
Second,
we're
going
to
be
increasing
the
pace
of
ongoing
work
to
elevate
standards
within
the
minneapolis
police
department
and
enact
much
needed
culture
shift,
we'll
continue
pressing
for
that
internal
change
within
our
department,
and
that
will
also
make
ours
a
more
just
and
a
more
effective
department
we'll
be
pursuing
new
trainings
for
the
department
that
prioritize
de-escalation
and
peer
intervention.
We
are
continuing
to
elevate
our
field
training
officer
program
and
the
standards
through
which
it's
implemented,
and
notably,
we're
also
moving
forward
with
changes
to
traffic
enforcement
on
minneapolis
roadways.
A
The
disparities
in
traffic
stops
are
well
tread
and
those
disparities
are
unacceptable
period.
We're
committed
to
ending
traffic
stops
solely
for
low
level
offenses
such
as
small
objects,
hanging
from
rear
view,
mirrors
inoperable,
license
plate
lights
or
a
busted
tail
light.
Likewise,
chief
arradando
and
I
are
consulting
with
the
city's
attorney's
office,
and
we
intend
also
to
be
in
coordination
with
the
state
of
minnesota
around
the
issue
of
expired
tabs
violations
and
making
sure
that
these
are
no
longer
the
primary
reason
for
the
traffic
stop
to
begin
with
there.
A
These
are
significant
changes
and
we
anticipate
that
they
will
yield
significant
results
in
reducing
the
unacceptable
level
of
enforcement
disparities,
while
also
enhancing
community
safety.
Again,
this
must
be
a
both
end
approach.
Finally,
we
are
doubling
down
on
safety
beyond
policing,
we've
consistently
built
up
new
initiatives
and
invested
in
a
public
health
based
approach
to
this
work.
A
Director
sasha
cotton
has
led
so
much
of
this
work
and
we
are
now
discussing
additional
proposals
from
the
rescue
plan
itself
and
we're
already
identifying
some
of
the
key
priority
areas
through
which
we
can
invest
in
the
coming
weeks
and
months.
We
are
committed
to
expanding
the
minneapolis
violence,
interrupt
interrupter
team
and,
as
pandemic
restrictions
are
lifted,
we're
going
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
that
team
is
expanded.
A
Further
we're
making
sure
that
we've
got
as
as
some
of
the
pandemic
restrictions
are
loosened,
we'll
be
able
to
continue
the
very
successful
group
violence
intervention
program
and
will
be
able
to
enhance
the
work
that
is
already
underway
through
it.
We
need
to
move
with
purpose
right
now.
We
need
to
move
with
compassion.
A
We
also
need
to
move
with
a
sense
of
urgency
that
does
in
fact
affirm
that
black
lives
matter.
The
north
side
of
minneapolis
matters,
victims
and
families
of
that
have
suffered
for
far
too
long
from
gun
violence
they
matter
and
it's
incumbent
on
each
and
every
one
of
us
to
stand
up
to
make
sure
that
they
feel
safe
within
their
neighborhoods.
A
A
A
The
work
has
been
underway,
but
this
needs
to
be
a
turning
point
right
now
for
our
city
and
a
starting
point
for
these
new
strategies
that
we
know
will
now
push
for
a
renewed
commitment
from
our
city.
So
many
of
the
people
that
are
joining
me
here
today
have
poured
themselves
into
this
work
around
community
safety.
A
We
show
up
today
in
preparation
to
partner
with
whoever
is
willing,
a
coalition
of
the
willing
around
community
safety
and
accountability
so
proud
to
partner
with
each
and
every
one
of
you,
and
with
that
I
will
first
turn
it
over
to
council
member
cano
from
the
south
side,
who
has
been
a
champion
of
so
much
of
this
public
safety
work.
I
greatly
appreciate
her
partnership.
B
Thank
you
so
much
everybody
for
being
here
today.
We
know
that
we
are
gathering
in
a
moment
where
so
many
of
our
young
children
need
our
help.
They
need
our
support.
They
need
our
presence
and
our
leadership.
My
name
is
alondra
cano
and
I
represent
the
ninth
ward
on
the
minneapolis
city
council.
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
working
with
many
of
my
colleagues
and
partners
here
for
eight
years
on
some
of
the
deepest
and
hardest
public
safety
issues
of
our
city.
B
B
I
am
here
in
support
of
the
mayor's
plan,
which
is
a
city-wide
plan
and
of
our
chief
of
police
in
leading
through
that
difficult
challenge
to
help
us
eradicate
and
end
commercial,
sexual
exploitation
on
lake
street
and,
in
any
other
part
of
the
city,
all
of
our
women.
All
of
our
community
members
should
have
a
right
to
decide
how
they
can
be
in
a
space
without
feeling
the
subjugation
and
the
abuse
and
the
oppression
of
how
their
bodies
are
used
and
abused.
B
So
we're
here
to
say
enough,
and
that
will
end-
I'm
very
thankful
to
have
other
south
side
partners
here
today.
Who
will
help
us
in
that
struggle.
The
family
partnership
northside
achievement
zone,
of
course,
is
a
leader
in
this
conversation,
and
I've
been
personally
very
moved
by
all
of
the
messages
that
we've
been
getting
from
deeply
rooted.
Leaders
in
this
community
asking
us
to
step
in
to
step
up
to
collaborate
and
to
lead
with
our
chief
of
police.
B
A
C
Thank
you,
I'm
lenny,
palmisano
13th
ward
city
council
member,
I'm
here
to
forward
this
urgency
that
we're
at
a
critical
juncture
in
our
city,
as
we
work
to
direct
our
city's
recovery
efforts
from
the
global
health
pandemic
and
provide
necessary
support
for
residences
and
for
residents
and
for
businesses.
We
also
need
to
ensure
stability.
C
That
means
stemming
this
uptick
in
violence
to
make
space
for
lasting
growth.
We
get
there
by
listening
to
the
experts
that
we
have
unanimously
chosen
to
let
to
lead
us
and
to
help
us
build
this
plan.
C
We
have
all
put
our
faith
in
this
chief
and
we
believe
in
the
values
he's
working
to
instill
throughout
the
force
and
into
our
community.
Now
is
the
time
to
give
him
the
resources
that
he
needs
for
years.
I've
said
we
must
approach
public
safety
through
a
lens
of
health
and
of
wellness,
that's
for
the
community
and
also
for
those
that
are
serving
the
community
as
peace
officers.
C
We
achieve
the
best
outcomes
when
our
staff
are
healthy
and
they're
supported
in
their
work
right
now
our
officers
are
overburdened
and
overworked,
and
we
cannot
continue
to
rely
on
overtime
for
staffing
minimums.
It
is
an
unsustainable
and
ultimately,
an
unsafe
practice.
In
order
to
meet
these
goals,
we
must
address
the
staffing
needs
in
our
police
department.
C
In
order
to
reach
this
stability,
we
also
need
to
make
lasting
investments
in
health
and
wellness
programs.
We
must
practice
a
culture
of
mindfulness
in
every
aspect
of
public
safety
delivery
across
our
city.
It's
imperative
that
we
rebuild
and
maintain
the
public
trust
in
our
systems,
ensuring
integrity
and
transparency
in
what
we
do
and
how
we
do.
It
is
the
bedrock
of
a
functional
government
departments,
like
our
audit
team
and
our
police
conduct
oversight.
Commission
have
been
working
to
improve
systems
within
mpd,
around
training
investigations,
reporting
body
cameras,
hiring
and
much
much
more.
C
A
A
D
Thank
you,
mayor
frye.
I
also
want
to
thank
miss
anders
samuels
and
nas
for
all
the
great
work
that
they
continue
to
do
on
behalf
of
our
communities,
and
I
also
just
want
to
note
that
the
leadership
that
you
see
standing
behind
me
both
from
our
faith
community,
our
elected
officials,
our
community
leaders.
D
D
D
D
D
D
I'm
so
thankful
that
over
the
past
year,
the
relationships
with
our
mutual
aid
partners
has
been
phenomenal,
both
our
local
state,
sheriff's
office
and
federal
partners,
and
that
work
is
going
to
continue.
I
can
let
every
miniapolitan
know
tonight
we
are
going
to
leverage
and
bring
to
bear
all
the
intelligence
assets,
all
the
other
resources
we
can
to
keep
our
city
safe,
but
we've
got
to
do
this.
D
We've
got
to
do
this
together
and
have
a
specific
message
for
our
judges,
and
while
I
respect
the
immense
judicial
responsibility
you
have,
I
want
to
tell
you
something.
I
know
that
when
it
comes
to
sentencing
that
you
look
at
an
individual's
criminal
history
and
oftentimes,
that
sentencing
is
based
on
the
lengthiness
of
their
criminal
history.
D
D
So
we
are,
we
are
going
to
continue
to
move
forward
and
again
it
is
through
this
collective
partnership,
and
I
will
tell
you
that
I
remain
hopeful
and
optimistic
that
we
as
a
city,
we
are
going
to
start
healing
and
that
begins
with
hope-
and
I
stand
here
in
the
midst
of
hope
today
because
of
the
leadership
that
is
by
my
side.
So
thank
you
all.
A
A
Next
up
is
has
been
a
consummate
leader
here
on
the
north
side,
head
of
north
side
achievement
zone,
someone
who
has
always
been
willing
to
step
up
and
make
her
voice
heard
on
behalf
of
community.
Please
join
me
in
welcoming
sandra
samuels.
F
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
and
I
want
to
thank
our
police
chief.
I
want
to
thank
our
co.
The
council
members
who
are
here
notice
the
council
members
who
are
here
and
notice
the
council
members
who
are
not-
and
so
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
courage
and
I
thank
all
of
the
business
leaders
and
my
neighbors,
who
showed
up
as
well,
because
we
are
here
because
we
can't
take
it
anymore
and
we're
here,
because
we're
standing
and
we're
saying
the
rhetoric
around
defund
has
gotten
us
to
where
we
are
today.
F
We
can
do
both
and
we
can
walk
and
chew
gum.
At
the
same
time,
every
single
police
officer
is
not
officer
chovin,
the
chief
is
not
officer.
Chovin
john
elder
is
not
officer
chovin.
If
we
haven't
noticed,
we
have
to
cut
the
games
out
because
our
babies
are
dying.
We
need
a
fully
staffed
police
department
and
a
transformed
police
department
that
also
has
services
and
supports
that
the
mayor
talked
about
for
our
city's
residents,
because
we
know
economics
matter
and
we
know
education
matters.
F
That's
why
I'm
part
of
the
north
side
achievement
zone
and
you
might
notice
that
we
have
boards
on
our
building,
because
the
building
was
shot
up
a
few
weeks
ago.
You
might,
you
might
have
heard
that
two
people
were
shot
that
night.
This
is
a
building.
This
is
an
organization.
This
is
a
community
filled
disproportionately
with
children.
F
The
north
side
has
more
children
than
any
other
neighborhood
in
minneapolis,
and
I'm
here
for
our
partners,
I'm
here
for
our
neighbors
and
everybody,
and
also,
I
am
going
to
say
the
name,
because
the
protesters
aren't
here
saying
the
name
of
trinity
who
was
shot
in
the
head
on
my
block
down
the
street
from
my
house
saturday
night,
eight
years
old,
I'm
saying
her
name.
Where
are
the
other
people?
I
guess
we're
not
saying
her
name,
because
a
white
police
officer
didn't
shoot
her
in
the
head.
F
I'm
saying
la
davion's
name,
because
ladavion
a
10
year
old
at
35th
and
morgan
got
shot
in
the
head.
Maybe
we're
not
saying
his
name,
maybe
we're
not
marching,
maybe
we're
not
demanding
change,
because
a
white
police
officer
did
not
assault,
but
let
me
tell
you
that
has
to
stop
I'm
talking
both
in
that
has
to
stop.
We
can't
have
any
more
children,
and
nor
can
we
have
the
level
of
community
violence
that
we
are
seeing
right
now.
This
is
real.
I
have
lived
here
for
24
years
raised
three
daughters.
F
We
are
suffering
I
have
neighbors,
I
have
children
who
are
being
shot.
I
know
of
people
who
are
being
shot.
People
are
scared
to
exercise
anymore
on
the
north
side.
People
are
scared
to
go
outside.
Many
of
my
neighbors
are
on
medication,
including
me
can't
handle
the
anxiety.
This
is
real
the
trauma
and
then
we
wonder
why
kids
can't
show
up
to
school
and
learn.
F
We
have
to
do
better
by
them
and
be
grown
people
and
adults,
and
I
got
to
tell
you
I'm
looking
over
at
my
neighbors
and
I
have
a
neighbor
that
I
love.
I
love
all
my
neighbors,
but
amy
and
gabe
amy
and
gabe
amy
wave
your
hand
amy
and
gabe,
and
hannah
and
john
and
jackson
had
to
move
from
next
door
to
me
about
two
weeks
ago.
They
had
to
move
to
plymouth
because
of
the
level
of
gun
violence.
F
This
is,
I
love
my
neighbors.
We
are
losing
them
and
we
are
losing
our
children.
These
are.
This
is
not
politics.
This
is
serious,
and
so
I
stand
behind
a
plan.
I
stand
behind
the
chief.
I
stand
behind
the
mayor
for
safety
now
and
I'm
going
to
close
by
saying
I
am
part
of
minneapolis
8.
kathy
julie,
amy,
wave
your
hands
in
the
air.
We
are
eight
northsiders
who
are
suing
the
city
of
minneapolis
for
failing
to
protect
us.
We
are
suing
for
a
lack
of
staffing
of
staffing
of
police
officers
to
keep
us
safe.
F
F
I
want
to
thank
all
of
those
officers
that
keep
us
safe
every
single
day.
I
want
to
thank
my
neighbors
who
love
this
city
and
even
though
amy
had
to
move,
she
still
loves
the
city,
and
I-
and
I
thank
all
of
you-
and
I
am
hopeful
today
because
of
who
showed
up
that
we
are
going
to
do
this.
We
will
capture
our
city
back,
we
will
rebuild,
we
will
restore
trust
and
we
will
reimagine
success
and
prosperity
for
all.
A
G
G
In
all
of
my
28
years
here
in
minneapolis,
I've
never
seen
so
many
women
and
young
children
shot
and
impacted
by
violence.
Like
we've
seen
since
2020,
we
are
seeing
an
uptick
of
violence
and
the
reason
being
is
because
we
right
now
have
no
programs,
especially
in
north
minneapolis.
So
what
did
we
do?
We
didn't
complain,
but
we
created
a
program
that
is
hosted
at
shiloh
temple
and
it
is
called
for
women
only
and
what
we
do
in
that
group.
G
G
G
So
we
started
that
program
and
then,
in
the
midst
of
that,
what
we
saw
was
that
we
can't
just
deal
with
the
females
we
have
to
deal
with
their
children,
so
they
are
also
bringing
their
children
to
these
groups.
We
offer
counseling
one-on-one
sessions
mentorship
and
then
we
also
offer
personal
resources
as
far
as
helping
to
pay
rent
and
then
we
case
manage
them,
so
we
keep
up
with
them
daily,
because
sometimes
we
come
to
these
press
conferences
and
then
our
community
is
left
behind.
G
We
never
do
anything
after
the
conference,
but
I
believe
that
we
have
a
mayor
and
that
we
have
a
chief
of
police
and
that
we
have
a
community.
Now
that
is
saying
enough
is
enough.
Something
has
to
give
and
we're
not
going
to
get
anything
done
unless
we
do
it
together.
We
now
have
to
have
a
collective
mindset.
We
need
north
side
achievement
zone,
we
need
the
office
of
violence
prevention,
we
need
our
hospitals,
we
need
our
mayor
and
our
leadership
working
together.
G
I
am
here
today
saying
something
has
to
give
and
then
under
the
shiloh
temple
shiloh
cares
outreach
department.
We
are
now
feeding
over
50
students
of
the
minneapolis
public
school
on
our
lot.
We
hosting
basketball
on
our
lot.
Just
so
we
can
keep
our
community
alive.
We
are
tired
of
our
community
dying.
I
am
a
violence
prevention
specialist
in
this
city,
so
I
am
one
of
the
first
ones
at
the
scene
at
the
hospital
watching
people
live
or
die.
I
am
here
to
say
enough
is
enough.
G
A
You
thank
you
so
much
pastor.
Next,
I
I'd
like
to
invite
up
bishop
howell.
You
know
he
has
been
there
every
single
step
of
the
way.
I
cannot
tell
you
how
many
different
community
events
that
he
has
hosted
that
I've
had
the
honor
of
attending
over
at
shiloh.
This
is
someone
who
brings
people
together
in
a
beautiful
way
and
we're
honored
to
have
him
here
with
us.
E
The
time
has
come
for
us
to
love
our
city
and
to
take
back
our
city
where
it
belongs
our
thoughts
and
prayers
over
trinity
today
with
her
family
that
some
way,
god
will
touch
her
body
and
raise
her
and
give
her
life
not
just
for
trinity,
but
all
of
our
young.
Ladies
all
of
our
young
men,
who've
been
shot
down
because
they
didn't
have
a
chance
to
live
beyond
15
years
old.
E
E
There's
something
wrong
with
that,
and
this
is
our
city.
I
thank
god
for
our
mayor.
I
thank
god
for
our
chief
for
taking
this
tough
stand.
We
support
them
a
hundred
percent,
we're
behind
them
a
hundred
percent
for
their
safety
plan.
In
this
great
city
of
minneapolis
I
was
raised
in
this
city.
I
was
raised
on
the
south
side,
the
northeast
side,
the
southeast
side.
I
live
on
the
north
side.
I
work
on
the
north
side
and
trust
me.
This
is
one
of
the
greater
cities
in
the
whole
united
states.
E
Trust
me
it
is,
and
when
we
get
our
city
back,
it
will
be
even
a
greater
city
to
live
in
this
community.
In
the
name
of
justice,
in
the
name
of
grace
and
the
name
of
peace
at
shiloh
temple,
we
have
a
safe
space
for
anyone
to
come,
but
we're
asking
all
houses
of
worship
open
up.
Your
houses
of
worship
right
now
create
a
three
to
four
mile
radius
touch
and
reach
out
to
your
neighborhood.
E
A
A
So
next,
I'm
really
honored
to
invite
up
gail
smaller,
who
has
been
working
constantly
with
community
and
nerc
here
on
the
north
side
as
long
as
well
as
a
partner
with
seiu
local
26
around
creating
a
pilot
that
can
be
community
driven
and
community
supported
right
here
on
the
north
side,
he'll
give
a
bit
of
a
run
down
as
to
the
vision
for
that
plan
and
we're
really
honored
to
partner,
along
with
you,
mr
smaller
gail,
smaller.
H
I
probably
should
have
went
about
10
minutes
ago
these
guys,
no,
no,
I'm
just
saying
following
those
guys.
First,
I'd
like
to
thank
jacob
and
the
chief,
I
represent
a
northside
community
that
has
historically
had
you
know,
contentious
relationships,
contentious
relationships
with
the
city
with
the
police
department.
H
I
believe
that
the
stance
that
was
taken
and
the
guts
that
were
shown
by
the
mayor
to
set
the
domino
rolling
that
led
to
a
conviction
which
I
believe
was
firing
those
officers
man
and
we
appreciate
that
and
the
way
that
you
back
them
up
chief.
I
think
that
the
community
has
a
lot
more
faith
and
our
ability
to
make
a
compromise
and
work
together
to
solve
these
problems,
and
so
I'm
excited
to
be
able
to
come
forth.
H
I'm
speaking
today
as
my
role
as
the
chair
of
the
nerc
safety
committee,
which
used
to
be
the
crime
and
safety
committee,
but
after
last
summer
we
realized
that
if
we
make
citizens
arrest
and
take
them
to
the
police
office,
it's
kidnapping
so
we'll
leave
that
to
these
guys
and
what
our
role
is
is
to
take
dives
deeper
into
the
weeds.
The
police
officers
are
limited
on
the
access
that
they
can
get
their
access
to
the
community
to
be
able
to
solve
a
lot
of
these
problems
on
the
front
end.
H
So
that's
kind
of
the
role
that
the
program
spawned
out
of.
I
would
love
to
stand
here
and
say
that
I'm
a
grand
architect
and
that
this
is
innovative
and
new.
H
So
the
css
program
is
a
collaboration
between
the
northside
residence
redevelopment
council
next
global
security,
which
is
a
black-owned
security
company
from
north
minneapolis
and
the
local
sei
union.
One
of
the
goals
of
the
program
was
to
be
able
to
take
these
young
men.
Put
them
into
an
apprentice
program,
make
them
journey
men
as
community
safety
specialists
that
would
be
responsible
for
safety
of
our
residents.
H
The
the
keys
about
it,
which
was
really
exciting
for
us
at
nerc
and
as
the
low
in
residence,
was
that
these
young
men
are
going
to
be
licensed
by
the
state.
The
union
helped
us
facilitate
that
process,
so
these
guys
will
go
through
a
year
and
a
half
worth
of
training
and
at
the
end
they
will
be
able
to
acquire
a
livable
wage,
and
so
what
our
hope
is
is
that
we
can
support
the
officers.
H
A
You
thank
you
so
much,
mr
gail,
smaller,
for
your
work
and
with
that
we
can
open
it
up
to.
A
You
know
yes,
certainly
we
do
need
a
majority
of
the
city
council
in
order
to
pass
the
I'm.
Sorry,
oh
of
course
yes,
the.
So
the
question
was
asking
about
how,
in
fact
some
of
these
rescue
act
dollars
will
ultimately
get
passed
and
the
way
it
will
work
is.
I
will
make
a
recommendation
followed.
A
First,
there
will
be
a
number
of
groups
that
are
meeting
they're
already
meeting
these
are
these
are
experts.
This
will
get
some
community
input.
Those
recommendations
will
be
given
to
me.
I
will
then
put
forward
an
overarching
recommendation
that
will
then
go
to
city
council.
The
city
council
will
then
amend
and
adopt
that
proposal,
and
you
know
this.
A
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
some
of
the
other
council
members
that
did
not
get
to
speak.
Also,
council,
member
lisa,
goodman,
council
member
jamal
osman
and
council
member
kevin
reich
are
also
here
with
us
and
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
acknowledge
what
you
mentioned,
which
yes,
there
is
a
divergence
of
opinion.
I
respect
all
the
council
members,
but
there
is
a
divergence
of
opinion
between
those
that
want
to
see
a
both
end
approach
to
public
safety,
which
is
safety
beyond
policing
and
accountability.
A
Yes,
and
also
recognizing
the
need
to
have
our
police
department,
properly
staff
and
those
that
want
to
push
for
defunding
and
or
further
reducing
the
number
of
officers
that
we're
presently
having
on
our
street.
As
the
chief
mentioned,
we've
already
seen
about
a
one-third
reduction
in
the
numbers
that
we
have
in
our
police
department,
it
goes
without
saying,
but
I'll
say
it
anyway.
A
These
programs
need
to
operate
as
supplemental
to
the
work
that
is
underway
already
in
our
police
department.
You
need
law
enforcement
and
you
need
the
community
driven
approach
working
simultaneously
to
see
safety.
That's
exactly
the
message
that
I'm
delivering
and
all
of
these
community
members
behind
me
are
delivering
here
today.
A
So
the
question
was
about
what
will
change
immediately?
There's
there's
four
different
parts
to
the
proposal
that
we
are
moving
forward
with.
The
first
is
trying
to
have
as
an
immediate
as
possible
a
response
to
some
of
the
gun,
violence
that
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
that
work
by
the
way
is
already
underway,
and
so
you'll
see
those
changes
in
the
immediacy.
A
The
second
one
is
making
sure
that
we've
got
very
targeted
resources
that
are
going
through
the
the
rescue
plan
and
act
that
will
obviously
take
a
little
bit
of
time,
because
we've
still
got
to
have
the
recommendations
given
and
then
the
approval
that
is
made,
but
we
look
to
have
those
funds
disseminated
for
community
for
this
summer.
The
third
piece
is:
is
culture
and
accountability
shift?
A
lot
of
those
changes
will
be
made
in
the
very
near
future
and
we're
talking
about
days
and
weeks
from
now.
A
These
changes
can
can
move
forward
and
then
the
the
final
piece
is
is
making
sure
that
we
have
accountability
within
within
our
police
department
and
that
we're
doing
safety
beyond
policing
work
that
safety
beyond
policing
work
can
go
both
through
the
budgetary
process
as
well,
some
of
which
can
go
through
the
rescue
act
dollars.
So
the
answer
is
all
the
above.
A
You
should
have
the
plan
before
you,
but,
as
you
men
correctly
mentioned
yeah,
we
certainly
will
need
a
majority
of
support.
Again.
We
wanted
to
move
in
short
order
here
to
make
sure
that
the
community
heard
directly
from
us,
especially
following
some
of
the
violence
that
we've
seen
this
weekend
and
yes,
we
are
stadium
so
much
money.
A
One
of
the
proposals
is
for
two
million.
That
is
for
more
than
two
million
dollars
for
community
safety
oriented
projects.
There
will
also
be
monies
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
necessary
mutual
aid
and
law
enforcement
presence
as
well
mayor.
You
spoke.
A
I've
had
a
series
of
of
conversations
to
bridge
this
gap
with
respect
to
this
notion
of
defunding
the
the
police.
I
also
just
need
to
acknowledge
the
realities
of
this
situation,
which
is
yes
there.
There
is
a
disagreement.
I'm
hopeful
that
this
is
an
area
where
we
can
unite
around
a
common
vision
for
a
both
end
approach
to
public
safety,
and
that's
our
call
today.
A
A
G
A
A
I'd
like
to
invite
someone
that
is
really
critical
to
this
conversation.
You
know
we
have
to
be
centering
victims
of
the
gun,
violence
that
we're
seeing
la
davion's
grandmother
is
here
with
us
right
now
and
she'd
like
to
say
a
few
words
loud
and
clear
to
the
community.
Please
join
me
in
giving
her
a
huge
round
of
applause
for
her
courage.
K
Hi,
my
name
is
shamanda,
grew
up
in
north
minneapolis
from
north
minneapolis.
I
want
to
say
one
thing:
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out
why
this
community
not
angry,
why?
Why
do
y'all
only
march
when
black
on
black
crime
happened?
Why
ain't
nobody
mad
about
my
10
year
old,
grandson
fighting
for
his
life
at
north
memorial?
Why
are
we
doing
a
news
conference
on
penn
and
broadway
and
his
two
kids
at
north
memorial
right
now
fighting
for
their
life
from
a
gunshot
wound
to
the
head?
When
is
north
minneapolis
gonna
stand
up?
K
When
is
enough
enough?
How
are
y'all
so
comfortable
and
so
cool,
and
so
calm
and
there's
two
kids,
that's
fighting
for
their
life.
Y'all.
Tell
me
how
how
how
high
y'all
at
home
rested,
how
are
y'all
at
home
not
doing
anything.
It's
two
kids,
a
eight
and
a
ten
year
old
fighting
for
their
life.
They
should
be
at
school
right
now.
They
should
be
doing
what
kids
do
when
did
it
become
cool
to
shoot
a
kid?
When
do
you
get
brownie
points
for
shooting
a
kid?
You
don't
get
no
justification
for
shooting
a
kid.
K
Y'all
got
two
kids
y'all
to
traumatize
two
families.
My
grandson
didn't
deserve
this.
That
little
girl
didn't
deserve
this.
They
were
playing
in
their
yard.
He
had
just
got
out
of
school
that
little
girl
was
minding
her
business
when
are
y'all
gonna.
Do
something
about
these
guns
y'all
keep
on
giving
these
people
a
slap
on
the
wrist
and
they
shoot
our
kids.
Now,
when
is
enough
enough,
when
are
y'all
gonna
stand
up
and
do
something?
Why
is
this
community
not
pissed
off,
I'm
angry,
I'm
mad!
When
are
y'all
gonna
stand
up?
K
Why
are
we
at
north
memorial
right
now
and
ain't
none
of
y'all
here?
Why
are
y'all
here?
Why
are
y'all
here?
What
are
y'all
doing
here?
What
is
this
doing
here?
This
ain't
doing
my
grandson
is
fighting
for
his
life.
This
ain't
doing
nothing
y'all
ain't,
doing
nothing,
y'all,
not
doing
nothing.
This
ain't,
nothing!
K
Trinity.
Fighting
for
her
life
winning
on
northside.
When
is
enough
enough?
When
is
enough
enough?
I
suffered
a
heart
attack
on
tuesday.
From
this
I
had
heart
surgery
on
thursday.
I
shouldn't
even
be
out
here
right
now,
but
I'm
still
fighting
for
my
grandson.
You
know
why,
because
that's
all
I
got
that's
all.
I
got
I'm
going
to
be
his
voice
until
he
able
to
speak,
I'm
going
to
speak
for
him
because
he
didn't
deserve
it:
a
10
year
old,
with
a
gunshot
wound
to
the
head.
K
K
This
is
unacceptable,
isn't
god
so
that
we
just
immune
to
it?
Now
we
just
turn
our
heads.
Now
we
just
immune.
No
we're
not
immune.
No,
I'm
not
gonna
sit
down,
I'm
not
gonna,
stop
talking
about
it.
Y'all
might
go
on
with
y'all
life,
but
this
is
our
life.
This
is
where
we
live
every
day
for
the
last
16
days,
16
days,
I've
seen
y'all
a
few
days.
16
days,
though,
we've
been
at
north
memorial,
we
have
prayers
every
day
at
6
p.m.
At
north
memorial
ain't,
none
of
y'all
there
none
of
y'all
there.
K
K
K
K
K
How
do
y'all
do
a
news
conference
without
the
families
invited
we
suffering
we're
the
ones
suffering,
we're
the
ones
hurting
we
live
here.
Y'all
go
home.
We
live
here
every
day,
hire
y'all,
not
mad,
where's
everybody
at
we
only
march
when
this
against
the
police.
We
ain't
gonna
march
against
two
kids,
though
getting
shot.
We
ain't
gonna
stand
up
for
their
rights,
though
we
ain't
gonna.
Do
that
that's
too
much
like
right,
we
gotta
do
better
minneapolis,
we
gotta
do
better.
That's
unacceptable
here.
This
is
totally
unacceptable.
K
Two
kids,
two
kids
in
less
than
16
days
with
gunshot
wounds
to
the
head
to
the
head.
This
could
have
been
all
bad
by
by
the
grace
of
god.
They
still
fighting
y'all,
keep
them
in
prayers,
and
I
hope
I'll
just
hope
that
the
mayor,
the
chief
and
anyone
else
that
may
be
involved,
I
hope,
y'all
step
up,
because
if
not
this
is
going
to
be
a
deadly
summer.
K
This
is
going
to
be
a
deadly
summer
of
kids
of
kids,
our
kids
ain't
safe
now,
our
next
generation.
This
is
our
future
doctors,
nurses,
senators,
mayors,
police
chiefs,
where
they
coming
in
at
when
we
going
to
protect
them.
When
we
going
to
stand
up
for
them,
y'all
want
to
talk
about
something,
stop
talking
and
do
something
enough
talk.
We
see
it
every
day
we
run
past
it
every
day.
We
see
it.
K
We
see
it,
but
when
is
something
going
to
get
done
news
conferences?
We
can
have
these
every
day.
Every
day
we
can
have
a
news
conference,
but
when
is
some
action?
Gonna
get
took
care
of
consequences,
sacrifices
y'all
got
to
remember.
This
is
a
10-8
year
old
kid
fighting
for
their
life
from
a
gunshot
wound,
a
gunshot
wound
to
the
head.
I
If
I
could
say
this
before,
we
leave
both
families
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
the
minneapolis
police
department
for
their
quick
actions
in
saving
their
children's
lives.
At
this
point,
they
are
still
fighting.
We
don't
know
what
they
will
be
like.
Should
they
survive
this,
so
the
prayer
is
necessary,
but
again,
chief
mayor,
thank
you
to
the
minneapolis
police
department
as
well.

However,
we
have
been
working
very
diligently
on
the
the
final
plan
for
38th
in
chicago
and
we've
we've
said
repeatedly
that
we
do
need
to
move
forward
on
a
phased
reconnection,
recognizing
the
importance
and
the
legacy
of
this
site
honoring
as
it
as
a
very
important
spot
for
racial
healing
and
justice,
and
also
acknowledging
the
truth,
which
is
there
have
been
many
many
instances
throughout
that
location
and
over
the
past
several
months
when
it
simply
has
not
been
safe,
and
so
I've
been
working
with
the
chief
on
a
on
a
near
daily
basis.
K
K
F
A
A
It
is
both
a
community
oriented
approach
that
allows
for
people
who
are
on
the
ground
working
in
community
working
on
the
block
to
quickly
identify
some
of
the
problem
problematic
behavior
before
it
happens,
it's
working
through
our
group
violence,
intervention
initiative,
which
requires
both
a
community-centered
approach
as
well
as
law
enforcement.
Again,
it's
it's
a
multiple
pronged
approach.
That
requires
both
end
and
I'll.
Note
that
when
you
do
have
the
attrition
that
we've
seen
the
chief
mentioned
that
as
much
as
a
third
of
the
department
was
we've
lost
over
over
these
last
nine
months.
A
A
So
the
question
was:
how
exactly
are
we
paying
for
this
approach?
There's
multiple
different
ways:
the
first,
which
is
always
the
case,
is
through
a
budget
through
both
ongoing
and
one-time
funding.
We
will
be
proposing
a
budget
at
some
point
in
august.
Now.
Obviously,
august
is
not
soon
enough.
These
rescue
act
dollars.
We
anticipate
coming
forward
well
before
then,
and
it's
a
little
less
than
281
million
dollars
in
total.
A
That
can
be
allocated
to
a
series
of
community-based
projects,
as
well
as
assistance
for
safety
that
we
need
in
the
short
term
as
well.
So
it's
predominantly
those
two
facets
also
note
that
we
do
have
areas
where
there
has
been
some
private
and
philanthropic
sector
investment.
That
has
been
helpful
as
well,
and
we
can
certainly
just
dip
into
that.
A
There
are
things
that
are
happening
right
now.
There
are
things
that
are
happening
through
the
rescue
act
dollars,
as
I
mentioned
in
their
things.
Yes,
we'll
take
longer
in
order
to
implement,
which
is
the
the
plan
to
to
return
some
of
the
numbers
that
we
have
within
our
law
enforcement
and
some
of
the
budgetary
assets
that
yes,
will
take
longer.
So
it's
it's
all
three,
it's
short
and
immediate.
It's
midterm,
and
it's
long
term
as
well,
and
all
three
of
those
should
be
in
the
plan.
