A
Good
morning
and
welcome,
as
you
all
are
well
aware,
the
trial
of
derek
chovin
began
this
last
monday
with
jury
selection.
More
recently,
as
has
been
announced
this
morning,
there
has
been
additional
charge
added
of
third
degree
murder
and
we
are
going
to
continue
delivering
our
regular
city
briefings
largely
on
thursdays
at
10,
30
and
more
on
an
as
needed
basis.
A
Very
much
appreciate
the
the
press
corps,
willingness
to
disseminate
this
important
information
and
to
cover
these
very
important
topics
as
they
unfold
and
once
again,
all
of
the
individuals
that
are
here
with
me
are
united
around
common
priorities:
priorities
of
safety,
ensuring
protection
of
first
amendment
rights
and
freedom
of
speech,
and
continuing
to
deliver
our
core
city
services
with
excellence.
A
I
want
to
thank
them
and
I
recognize
that
that
peaceful
protest
is
not
just
a
major
part
of
the
healing
process,
but
an
essential
part
of
our
democratic
process
going
forward.
And
I
know
that
so
many
minneapolis
residents
and
and
visitors
in
the
weeks
and
months
ahead
will
also
be
protesting.
And
it's
my
hope
that
they
can
view
the
example
that
has
already
been
set
by
the
hundreds
that
peacefully
protested
in
these
last
several
days.
A
We're
also
continuing
with
our
ongoing
and
very
regular
communication
with
a
number
of
different
community
organizations,
neighborhood
associations,
block
captains,
nonprofits
and
and
business
leaders,
to
make
sure
that
we
have
that
two-way
stream
of
communication
throughout
you're.
Going
to
hear
shortly
from
a
combination
of
our
our
director
of
our
neighborhood
and
community
relations
department
and
in
david
rubidor
and
and
mr
rubidor
and
the
work
has
also
been
continued
by
our
director
of
office
of
violence,
prevention
in
sasha,
cotton.
And
that
communication
is
ongoing.
A
And
I
can
tell
you
they're
working
around
the
clock
to
make
sure
that
community
organizations
and
individuals
throughout
our
city
are
well
briefed
and
are
able
to
be
part.
So
many
throughout
our
city
and
I'll
note
that
a
survey
has
been
delivered
to
residents
within
a
half
mile
of
that
location.
It
should
have
already
hit
many
of
their
mailboxes
and
in
fact,
we've
already
received.
A
I
believe
hundreds
of
responses
and
those
responses
give
us
a
framework
and
a
vantage
point
as
to
what
they
want
to
see
that
intersection
look
like
in
the
future,
how
they
want
it
memorialized
how
we
carry
out
this
important
legacy
of
george
floyd
and
honor
that
intersection
as
the
sacred
space
that
it
is,
and
it's
really
imperative
that
we
collaborate
as
a
community
to
find
ways
to
both
reconnect
that
intersection
in
as
respectful
way
as
possible.
Ensuring
safety
for
the
surrounding
neighborhoods.
A
We
will
not
be
tolerating
violence
or
crime
in
any
form,
and
I
know
that
our
chief
will
will
speak
to
that
a
bit
later
and
I'll
know
that
these
regular
updates
will
continue
here
as
the
trial
progresses
and
for
the
most
up-to-date
information.
Make
sure
that
you're,
following
the
city
of
minneapolis,
on
social
media,
sign
up
for
the
city's
newsletter
and
for
law
enforcement
updates.
Follow
the
operation
safety
net
pages.
A
In
the
weeks
and
months
to
come,
I'm
really
hopeful
that
the
people
of
minneapolis
will
continue
to
look
out
for
one
another
on
a
daily
basis.
These
are
difficult
times,
they're,
they're
traumatic
times
for
so
many
throughout
our
city,
and
this
is
also
an
opportunity
for
our
city
to
step
up
in
a
brilliant
and
compassionate
manner
for
each
other.
With
that,
I
will
turn
chief
and
I'll
just
ask
real
quick
as
to
whether
my
knocking
over
this
microphone
had
any
impact
on
the
sound
nope.
All
right
great.
Thank
you.
So
much
chief.
B
Thank
you,
mayor
fry
good
af
good
morning.
Everyone
as
mayor
frye,
has
indicated
for
the
last
several
months
that
we've
been
planning
for
this
trial.
The
two
main
focuses
and
our
two
main
pillars
have
been
making
sure
and
ensuring
that
all
who
come
to
demonstrate
and
gather
and
and
protest
can
can
do
that
peacefully
and
we're
keeping
their
safety
in
mind
as
well.
The
second
important
piece
of
that
is
prevention.
B
We
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
who
chooses
to
do
so
can
do
so
peacefully,
but
that
also
our
residents,
our
businesses
are
visitors
that
people
are
feeling
protected
and
that
they
are
feeling
safe.
For
the
last
eight
months
we
have
had
a
unified
command
and
the
planning
has
been
labeled
operation
safety
net.
B
These
are
I'm
so
very
proud
of
our
mutual
aid
partners,
who
continue
to
be
with
us
along
the
way
to
not
only
ensure
that
minneapolis
remains
safe
and
a
place
where
all
those
can
gather
to
practice
their
first
amendment
rights,
but
we
are
also
a
metro
and
region-wide
response.
In
the
event
it
should
be
needed.
B
I
want
to
remind
our
communities
that,
while
we
certainly
have
a
focus
and
an
attention
in
terms
of
the
safety
of
the
trial,
my
good
assistant
chief
halverson
is
also
ensuring
that
the
city
of
minneapolis,
our
regular
911
operational
response
and
patrols
in
our
residence,
also
maintains,
and
is
there
operation
safety
net
again
has
four
phases.
The
first
phase
was
the
pre-trial
planning
and
doing
critical
infrastructure
assessments
and,
and
certainly
talking
with
communities.
B
Phase
two
is
actually
the
start
of
the
jury,
deliberate
jury,
selections,
and
so
we
are
in
phase
two
now
phase
three
is,
if
we
get
to
that
point
or
when
we
get
to
that
point
of
a
possible
verdict,
that
is
when
our
communities
can
start
to
see
a
very
visible
ramping
up
of
those
mutual
aid
resources,
including
the
national
guard
and
then
phase
four.
Is
that
demobilization
phase?
As
mirefry
indicated?
B
This
is
not
just
a
public
safety
measure,
but
this
is
also
really
about
community,
and
so
we've
had
the
time
to
plan
to
communicate
to
lean
in
and
talk
with
communities.
We
are
still
doing
that.
To
this
day,
I
encourage
all
of
those
and
director
rubidour
will
talk
a
little
bit
about
his
shop
and
in
terms
of
neighborhood
community
relations,
but
neighborhood
associations
block
club
leaders,
block
captains.
We
want
to
continue
to
make
sure
that
we're
having
that
ongoing
communication,
business
leaders
and
business
associations,
that's
so
key
and
critical.
B
I
also
want
to
just
think,
as
mayor
fry
had
indicated,
there
are
many
groups,
community
groups
who
have
been
out
there,
keeping
safety
in
our
communities
before
the
trial
they're
doing
it
during
the
trial,
and
they
will
continue
to
do
it
on
into
2021,
and
so
I
want
to
thank
them
for
that
as
well
again,
this
is
about
civic
participation.
As
mayor
frye
indicated,
we
can
do
this
right.
We
can.
B
We
can
express
our
feelings,
our
emotions,
whether
it's
pain,
sorrow,
hope,
and
we
can
do
that
safely
as
well,
and
so
for
the
folks
that
came
out
this
past
monday
and
even
actually
sunday.
They
showed
the
world
that
we
can
do
that
peacefully.
We
can
express
those
first
amendment
rights
peacefully
and
be
something
that
others
across
this
country
can
can
look
up
and
see
that
we
can
do
it
right.
So,
thank
you
very
much
and
with
that
I
believe
director.
C
Rubidour,
thank
you
chief
good
morning,
everybody
I'm
david
rubidor,
I'm
the
director
of
the
neighborhood
and
community
relations
department
with
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
as
the
chief
head
and
the
mayor
have
mentioned.
One
of
the
things
that
we
think
is
extremely
critical
at
this
point
is
making
sure
that
we
have
good
communication
and
information
sharing
and
resources
available
to
our
community.
C
We
recognize
that
our
communities
are
under
a
lot
of
stress
right
now
and
both
from
the
the
events
of
last
summer,
but
also
with
the
anxiety
of
unknown
of
the
unknown
of
what
the
future
may
bring,
and
so
we've
considered
to
be
critically
important,
that
we
keep
relationships
going
with
our
community
members
and
that
we're
informing
them
and
hearing
from
them
about
the
issues
and
the
concerns
that
they
have
and
anxieties,
and
so
I'm
going
to
just
update
a
little
bit
on
some
of
the
measures
that
we
have
in
place.
C
Some
of
the
changes
that
have
occurred
since
the
last
time
we
had
the
press
conference
and
to
let
you
know
really
what
the
status
is
on
those
those
efforts.
So
one
of
the
things
I
wanted
to
talk
about
first
is
starting
with
the
on
the
website.
The
the
trial
website
is
up
and
running.
We
had
announced
last
week
that
it
would
be
launched
on
friday.
It
did
launch
on
time.
C
The
trial
website
actually
provides
quite
a
bit
of
information
about
the
current
events
that
are
occurring
with
the
trial,
as
well
as
some
of
the
information
about
some
of
the
issues
that
we're
hearing
from
communities
such
as
safety.
Among
other
things,
it
includes
links
to
the
operation,
safety,
net,
hennepin
county,
the
courts
as
well
as
metro
transit.
It
has
information
about
business
and
resident
safety,
mental
mental
health
resources,
as
well
as
street
closures.
C
Among
other
other
topics,
you
can
also
connect
to
the
city's
facebook
and
twitter
account
our
social
media
accounts
via
the
website,
and
so
it's
a
great
place
for
residents
and
businesses
to
really
stay
informed
with
the
latest
events
and
the
latest
information
from
the
city.
So
I
wanted
one
of
the
things
I
wanted
to
just
really
encourage
any
residents
or
businesses
that
haven't
taken
a
look
at
it
to
really
check
it
out.
C
You
we'll
provide
we'll
be
providing
the
link
to
it
directly
and
the
information
that
follows
today,
but
if
you
just
go
to
the
city
of
minneapolis
front
web
page,
it
has.
The
information
has
a
link
directly
on
there
to
go
to
the
trial
website.
C
The
other
thing
another
thing
that
we're
doing
is
a
city
will
be
sending
out
a
newsletter
twice
a
week
that
will
be
available.
I
believe,
starting
next
week,
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
starting
next
week,
if
you
go
to
the
website
as
well,
you
can
sign
up
to
be
on
the
distribution
list.
Again,
that's
just
another
way
to
stay
connected
with
the
latest
information
at
the
city.
C
One
of
the
other
things
I
really
want
to
emphasize
as
well
is-
I
was
up
here
a
couple
weeks
ago
talking
about
that.
We
have
four
radio
shows
that
provide
information
to
residents
in
english,
spanish,
somali
and
hmong,
and
we
made
a
commitment
to
actually
increasing
those
radio
shows
to
weekly
during
the
trial
period.
That
has
happened.
So
these
are.
C
These
radio
shows
are
a
great
way
to
be
able
to
share
information
to
both
our
english
and
non-english
speaking
residents
about
what
is
happening
in
the
city,
safety,
information
and
trial
updates
as
well,
and
that
information
is
also
included
on
the
trial
website,
so
feel
free
to
check
that
out
as
well
and
then.
Finally,
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
our
neighborhood
organizations.
C
The
chief
had
mentioned
that
the
minneapolis
city
of
minneapolis
has
neighborhood
organizations
which
are
a
great
resource
for
our
community.
So
for
those
who
don't
know
the
city
of
minneapolis
has
70
different
radio
or
excuse
me
70
different
neighborhood
organizations
across
our
city
that
basically
cover
all
of
the
residential
areas
of
the
city.
These
are
independent,
nonprofit
organizations
that
really
focus
in
on
local
issues.
Local
concerns,
local
opportunities
and
really
share
information
with
each
other,
as
well
as
with
their
residents
and
businesses
about
addressing
specific
issues
on
the
local
level.
C
During
the
covet
and
the
civil
unrest,
our
neighborhood
organizations
were
instrumental
in
really
helping
communities
work
through
and
address
those
issues
we
committed
to
having
meetings
with
our
neighborhood
organizations
on
a
weekly
basis
that
has
been
set
up.
We
had
our
first
meeting
last
night
and
we
will
have
them
weekly
moving
forward
until
we
move
through
the
trials
over
the
course
of
the
course
of
this
year,
we
had
about
40
neighborhoods
attend,
which
is
actually
a
really
good
turnout.
C
It's
a
good
chance
for
neighborhoods
to
share
amongst
themselves
about
what
they
are
doing
and
how
they
are
actually
approaching
some
issues
on
a
local
level
and
to
talk
through
those
issues
and
those
opportunities
themselves,
and
also
for
us
to
hear
from
neighborhoods
about
water
and
residents
about
what
are
the
issues
that
are
existing
there
and
and
things
that
the
city
should
be
taking
a
closer
look
at.
So
last
night's
meeting
was
really
more
of
a
ground-setting
meeting
to
just
kind
of
lay
out.
This
is
what
the
purpose
of
these
meetings
will
be.
C
We
did
an
initial
conversation
about
the
joint
information
system,
which
is
what
to
expect
from
the
city
around
information,
how
that
information
is
developed
and
vetted
and
then
how
it
will
be
distributed
and
connected
to
the
neighborhoods.
We
did
talk
about
funding.
The
city
provides
funding
to
the
neighborhood
organizations
and
for
the
large
part
on
these,
these
funds
can
be
used
for
safety
initiatives.
C
We
did
recommend
that
our
neighborhood
organizations
connect
with
our
staff
to
making
sure
that
we
work
out
any
details
that
might
be
needed
around
compliance
with
funding
issues,
but
for
the
large
part
they
can
use
their
funds
for
this,
and
then
there
was
some
conversation
just
really
around
community
wellness
and
really
more
for
the
neighborhood
organizations
to
talk
amongst
themselves
about
how
they're
addressing
community
wellness
and
also
the
impact
of
what
is
happening
in
our
city
under
communities
of
color.
So
I
thought
it
was
in
a
great
initial
first
meeting.
We
will
build
on
that.
C
We
did
take
notes.
Those
notes
will
be
shared
with
the
organizations
that
didn't
attend
and
we'll
continue
to
build
on
that
one
thing
in
closing
what
I
would
really
encourage.
Folks,
if
you
have
not
connected
with
your
local
neighborhood
group,
I
would
encourage
you
to
do
so,
whether
you're
a
business
or
a
neighborhood
or
excuse
me
a
resident.
C
Our
neighborhood
organizations
maintain
email
lists.
They
send
out
a
weekly
newsletter
or
newsletter
sometimes
weekly,
depending
on
the
situation,
and
it's
a
great
way
to
stay
in
contact
not
only
from
the
city
perspective
at
the
city
webs
website,
but
also
in
your
local
community,
about
activities
that
are
going
on
and
things
that
your
neighborhood
association
is
actually
working
on.
So
I
really
encourage
you
to
take
a
look
at
that.
C
If
you
don't
know
who
your
neighborhood
group
is,
you
can
go
to
the
website
at
the
neighborhood
and
community
relations
website
at
the
city.
So
if
you
go
to
minneapolismn.gov
ncr,
we
do
have
a
finder
on
there,
so
you
simply
have
to
enter
your
address
and
it
will
tell
you
yourself
your
neighborhood
association
and
then
then
you
can
find
the
contact
information
for
getting
connected.
D
Cpad,
thank
you
david
good
morning.
My
name
is
eric
hanson,
I'm
the
city's
director
of
economic
policy
and
development
and
as
we
have
shared
before
the
trial
started,
there
are
steps
that
business
and
property
owners
are
thinking
and
considering
to
take
in
this
time
of
uncertainty,
sound
practices
that
we
suggest
you
follow
to
prepare
for
any
emergency
that
could
come
up
from
any
type
of
disaster.
These
include
having
a
plan
determining
if
and
how
to
secure
buildings
and
important
documents,
reviewing
insurance
coverages,
knowing
your
neighbors
and
community-based
organizations
and
hiring
only
licensed
security
companies.
D
If
a
business
chooses
that
route,
mr
rubidor
said
we
have
details
about
most
of
these
things
on
the
city's
new
trial
website,
and
I
encourage
people
to
take
a
look
at
that.
We
can
also
call
the
small
business
team
at
612-673-2499
for
more
assistance.
Another
important
component
for
us
as
a
community
relies
on
us
the
businesses.
I've
stressed
in
the
past
briefings
that
businesses
are
open
in
minneapolis
as
the
trial
begins.
We
we
see
these
businesses
taking
these
precautions
we
have
just
prescribed.
D
It
is
important
as
a
community
that
we
continue
to
shop
local
through
this
time.
Many
of
our
our
businesses
have
been
impacted
by
the
pandemic,
and
last
year's
unrest
are
still
struggling.
We
all
need
to
come
together
and
shop
local
first.
This
year
I
was
on
lake
street
tuesday,
and
I
was
able
to
see
the
impacts
of
last
year's
still
with
us,
while
some
sites
are
still
in
the
process
of
cleaning
up.
D
Many
businesses
are
back
from
big
box
retailers
like
cub
and
target
who
did
not
waste
any
time
to
reinvest
in
minneapolis
to
small
businesses.
Like
the
furniture
store
I
visited
at
the
corner
of
grand
and
lake,
I
was
able
to
meet
with
abe
de
meng
and
samir
burara
the
owners
and
developer
of
a
new
three-story
building
at
that
corner,
which
is
also
home
to
abe's
furniture
store.
D
D
This
connection,
their
connection
to
the
community
and
their
support
of
the
community
actually
helped
save
this
building.
They
were
telling
me
the
story
about
when
people
tried
to
damage
the
building
last
year
was
community
members
that
called
abe
and
samir
immediately
to
tell
them
about
these
attempts
and
even
samir's
response
to
that
kept
the
damages
to
the
minimum
to
a
minimum
and
helped
save
the
building
and
allowing
it
for
it
to
be
open
and
contributing
to
the
economy.
D
Today
we
are
fortunate,
as
a
community
to
have
businesses
with
strong
connections,
the
big
ones
like
target
and
cub,
who
didn't
hesitate
to
rebuild
in
minneapolis,
and
this
and
the
emergency
emerging
ones
like
abe
and
sabir
who
continue
to
build
on
the
next
generations
of
businesses
that
will
contribute
to
our
economy.
E
A
Thank
you
for
the
question
mr
chapman.
The
it
was
regarding
the
safety
and
security
dynamics
that
we're
presently
seeing
over
at
38th
in
chicago
38th
in
chicago
right
now
is
emblematic
of
so
many
of
the
other
issues
that
we're
seeing
in
our
city
and
in
our
nation.
In
that
there
are
multiple
truths.
It
is
a
truth
that
38th
in
chicago
is
a
very
critical
healing
and
gathering
space,
especially
through
this
trial.
A
It
is
accurate
that
is
a
space
for
to
honor
the
legacy
of
george
floyd
and
for
of
racial
reflection
and
healing
throughout
this
location,
and
it
is
also
true
that
the
surrounding
neighborhood
is
experiencing
a
great
deal
of
difficulty
and
trauma
because
of
the
crime
and
criminal
activity
that
is
taking
place
in
and
around
that
intersection.
That
is
absolutely
unacceptable.
A
The
chief
and
I
have
been
in
constant
collaboration,
both
internally
as
well
as
several
community
members
around
the
area,
and
you
know
we're
we're
evaluating
on
a
daily
basis
to
find
ways
that
we
can
ensure
the
safety
of
that
particular
intersection
and
move
towards
a
safe
and
secure
and
respectful
reconnection
of
of
that
street
and
those
neighborhoods,
and
you
know
I'll,
tell
you
they're
very
much
asking
for
it.
We
have
sent
out
a
survey,
as
you
know,
that
survey
will
literally
give
the
surrounding
neighborhoods
an
opportunity
to
vote
on
the
future
of
that
space.
A
We
have
all
community
city
enterprise,
been
supportive
of
a
plan
to
make
the
location
where
george
floyd
was
killed.
To
never
have
vehicular
traffic
go
over
it
again.
I'm
talking
about
the
specific
location,
and
we
do
hope
to
move
forward
with
a
bump
out
to
allow
for
a
memorial
to
be
placed
there
and
and
that's
something
we
hope
to
do
in
the
very
near
future,
but
as
for
right
now,
we're
we're,
leaving
all
options
on
the
table
and
I'll
allow
the
chief
to
speak
if
he
has
anything
further
on
that
topic,.
B
Mr
chapman,
to
your
question
regarding
what
our
community
has
been
experiencing
over
at
38th
in
chicago,
quite
frankly
since
last
year,
there's
a
lot
of
different
dynamics
going
on
there
and,
as
the
mayor
indicated,
there's
the
respect
and
folks
gathering
and
utilizing
that
space
to
pay
its
respects
to
to
mr
floyd.
B
At
the
same
time,
I'm
hearing
overwhelmingly
from
community
members
who
quite
frankly,
are
feeling
hostage
over
there
at
the
situation,
and
we
cannot
allow
for
that
violence
to
continue
to
happen,
and
so
we,
as
the
minneapolis
police
department,
we're
going
to
continue
to
respond.
We
are
going
to
continue
to
be
there
for
our
communities,
regardless
of
what
other
environmental
challenges
might
make
it
a
little
difficult
for
us
to
get
in
there.
We
are
going
to
continue
to
respond,
as
we
did
tragically
the
last
homicide
that
just
occurred.
B
But
what
I'm
hearing
is
that
a
majority
of
the
people
are
saying
it's
time.
It's
it's
time.
As
you
may
know,
I
grew
up
a
block
and
a
half
from
from
30th
in
chicago.
B
It
has
to
be
about
making
sure
that
we
can
do
better
for
that,
and
so,
as
mayor
indicated,
we're
having
ongoing
conversations,
we're
going
to
have
some
more
today,
I'm
having
conversations
with
the
folks
who
have
a
vested
interest
in
that
that's
both
community
organizations,
businesses
and
activists
and
but
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna,
make
sure
that
we're
doing
right
by
our
communities
out
there.
I.
E
Of
armed
people
on
the
rooftops
with
weapons,
their
their
video
running,
gun
battles
in
broad
daylight
of
people
who
come
to
visit
us
from
russia
and
sweden
ducking
into
the
businesses
for
cover.
How
do
you
stop
it?
I
mean
it's,
it's
it's
out
of
control,
I
mean
they
even
banned
media
from
going
there.
I
know
they
don't
want
you
guys
in
there
I
mean.
How
do
you
stop
this.
B
Yeah
the
question:
in
terms
of
of
how
do
we
stop
and
prevent?
What's
what's
been
occurring?
We
have
to?
We
have
to
stay
vigilant,
I,
but
I
will
say
this
here
from
a
public
safety.
B
We
have
to
open
up
that
intersection
and
I
know
that
may
be
difficult
for
some
people
who've
been
holding
space
in
there
since
last
year,
but
we
have
to
open
up
that
intersection
and
we
can
do
both.
We
can.
We
can
still
pay
the
tribute
and
the
recognition
and
honor
mr
floyd
and
yet
get
that
intersection
back
open
and
so
we're
again
we're
having
ongoing
conversations
will
be
more
today,
but
we're
going
to
work
towards
getting
that
intersection
open.
B
Yes,
it
actually
should
be
open
now,
but,
as
the
mayor
indicated,
we
want
to
do
so
in
a
way
that
is
both
respectful.
We
obviously
understand
the
sensitivity
of
that,
but
we
are
absolutely
working
towards
getting
that
intersection
reopened.
What.
F
Do
you
say,
though,
too
we've
got
a
lot
of
media?
We've
got
a
lot
of
outsiders
here:
tourists
here
you
go
there
and,
and
they
decide
whether
you
can
go
in
and
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
they
they
don't
let
people
in
right.
Now,
apparently
at
least
the
woman
who
says
she's
kind
of
running
things,
there
they're
they're
giving
space
for
people
to
mourn
the
person
who
was
killed
over
the
weekend.
So
now
nobody
can
go
in
there.
F
Media
crew
was
on
the
outside
of
the
barrier
yesterday
and
was
intimidated
and
yelled
at
into
leaving.
Why
not
just
call
it
what
it
is,
which
is
an
autonomous
zone?
No,
you
know
it's
not
run
by
our
city,
it's
not
run
by
our
government.
It's
people
controlling
the
area
there.
Why
not
call
it
an
autonomous
zone?
So
people
are
aware
you
know
what
it's
being
run
by
a
group
of
people
who
don't
want
us
there.
I
mean,
I
don't
think
outsiders
understand.
We
understand,
we
don't
go
there.
It's
not
safe.
B
Yeah
yeah
to
your
to
your
question,
all
of
the
different
things
that
you
said
that
have
been
occurring:
media
being
harassed
in
that
over
in
that
area,
visitors
coming
in
and
not
feeling
safe
and
welcome
that
can't
continue,
and
if
there's
anyone
who
can
who's
over
in
that
space,
who's
saying
that
that
is
truly
about
uplifting
that
intersection
in
his
name.
But
yet
the
violence
is
continuing.
The
homicides
are
continuing.
B
I
would
disagree
vehemently
with
that
position,
so
the
position
that
certainly
the
mayor
has
indicated
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
work
towards
opening
up
that
intersection.
We
have
to
it's
it's
we.
We
have
to
do
that
so.
A
As
I
mentioned
previously,
that
intersection
has
received
a
slew
of
city
services,
ranging
from
snow
clearance
to
to
street
maintenance,
to
let
yes,
ems
and
911
response,
but
what
you're
referencing
is
the
interference
that
so
many
officers
and
ems
responders
have
experienced
and
press
by
the
way
when
they
go
to
that
intersection
and
that's
accurate.
You
know
I'll
note
that
this
can't
just
be
the
chief
alone.
He
said
that
very
clearly,
it
can't
just
be
mpd
alone.
The
chief
has
asked
for
additional
assistance
from
from
other
jurisdictions.
A
At
that
point,
and
you
know,
given
the
attrition
we've
seen,
we
will
need
it
and
we
need
community
there
as
well
this.
This
can't
just
be.
This
is
a
sacred
space.
It
can't
just
be
a
law
enforcement
presence.
That's
that's
marching
in
this
has
to
be
about
a
reconnection
that
yes
allows
for
healing,
but
also
secures
safety
and,
over
the
last
several
days
and
and
perhaps
weeks
what
you've
seen
and
referenced.
A
Yes
is
extremely
problematic,
especially
for
the
people
that
live
there
for
the
people
that
live
there,
we've
heard
from
them
loud
and
clear
that
it
is
not
acceptable
and,
as
the
chief
mentioned
yes,
we
do
need
to
move
forward
towards
a
reconnection.
There
is
some
question
as
to
what
that
reconnection
looks
like,
because
this
is
not
just
about
vehicular
traffic.
You
know
this
is
this:
is
about
a
reconnection
of
that
intersection
allowing
for
full
and
complete
service
from
a
range
of
different
areas
that
we
offer
at
the
city.
A
As
I
mentioned,
this
is
an
area
where
that
has
two
truths
associated
with
it.
There
are
portions
of
that
you've
seen
there.
There
are
certainly
times
when
it
is
a
beautiful
community
gathering
space,
and
I
think
that
needs
to
be
honored
and
and
respected,
and
there
are
times
when
it
has
absolutely
been
unsafe.
Both
of
those
two
things
are
true.
G
A
The
question
from
from
liz
at
the
star
tribune
is:
we've
talked
about
a
bump
out.
What
exactly
does
that
mean?
Where
would
it
be
located,
and
how
would
we
be
moving
forward
to
institute
it?
You
know
I
first
off
I'll
say
that
you
know
obviously
there's
a
lot
of
of
controversy
and
difficulty
around
that
that
intersection,
the
one
of
the
things
that
that
people
that
everyone.
F
A
I've
heard
from
has
been
unified
on
is
the
need
to
preserve
the
space
on
which
george
floyd
was
killed.
The
the
that
sacred
ground,
where
he
was
killed,
needs
to
be
protected
in
a
way
that
tires
and
traffic
never
run
over
it
again.
Everybody
has
agreed
on
that.
The
particular
location
where
he
was
killed
is,
of
course,
on
the
relatively
nearby
the
corner
of
38th
and
chicago
on
the
east
side,
and
what
we
have
the
opportunity
to
do
is
literally
move
the
curb
out.
A
We've
been
working
with
our
public
works
crew
to
secure
that
it's
really
a
first
step.
I
mean
it
doesn't
make
sense
to
reopen
to
vehicular
traffic
only
to
shut
it
down
to
create
space
for
the
memorial.
It
makes
sense
to
have
city
staff.
There
have
community
there
have
yes,
a
law
enforcement
presence
as
well,
because
we
need
to
ensure
their
safety
to
move
towards
a
a
a
bolstering
of
of
that
that
memorial,
space.
G
A
The
question
was:
is
there
a
time
frame,
the
the
time
frame
is
as
soon
as
possible.
There
are
a
number
of
pieces
that
we
have
to
have
in
place
prior
to
moving
forward
there
for
the
safety
of
of
residents,
for
the
safety
of
our
of
our
public
works,
crew
and
and
our
our
police
officers
and
the
surrounding
community,
and
so
the
truth
is
right.
Now
we
need
to
do
this
as
safely
and
as
efficiently
as
possible.
The
first
step,
I
believe,
is
moving
towards
this.
A
This
this
bump
out
and
preservation
of
the
memorial
itself.
G
Separately,
there
were
some
folks
who
had
concerns
that
memorials
placed
in
the
street
this
week
had
been
removed
or
that
one
man
was
ticketed
for
sitting
in
a
street
as
protest.
Can
anyone
provide
more
clarity?
What
is
the
criteria
being
used
to
determine
whether
to
remove
memorials
whether
to
ticket
someone
whether
to
arrest
someone.
A
G
A
B
B
My
understanding
in
talking
with
also
metro
transit
police
was
some
of
those
items
were
also
in
the
street
that
obviously
the
bus
traffic
and
so
those
those
had
to
be
removed
just
based
on
where
they
were
where
they
were
placed.
I
believe
they
were
also
within
the
bus,
shelter
itself,
and
so
they
vary.
We've
seen
memorials
in
terms
of
neighborhoods
at
on
the
boulevards
of
trees
and
flowers
and
and
different
types
of
ornaments.
B
I
think,
for
the
most
part
community
has
has
allowed
those
to
kind
of
be
up
for
a
couple
of
days,
but
then
at
some
point
in
time,
they've
they've
just
been
been
removed
as
well,
and
so
I
don't
know,
if
there's
a
hard
and
fast,
I
think
they
can
vary
whether
it's
like
you
said
the
artwork
that
was
at
7th
street
the
other
day
or
a
flowers
on
a
boulevard
tree
where
someone
may
have
have
died.
B
F
Are
there
any
more
details
about
it
other
than
there
are
two
arrests
about
the
situation,
the
suspects
anything
like
that.
B
No,
I
that's
all
the
information
I
have
at
this
time,
though.
Thank.
