CM Cunningham's staff directive sounds a lot like focused deterrence, and there's evidence it works. If Frey were consistent or operating in good faith, I'd think evidence like this would head off his opposition.

You know one way you avoid the Charter Commission putting their corrupt paws on your ability to decide your own way of governance? Go sign the #Yes4Minneapolis people's petition at George Floyd Square, 38th & Chicago, this Saturday. Just that simple. yes4minneapolis.org

I originally posted some staggering Minneapolis Police Dept use of force stats, and a typical amount of anonymous white folks rushed in to explain that in fact Black people commit 70% of the crimes using all kinds of specious bits from shotspotter to FBI stats. This is a lie.
My follow recommendation for perspective on Minneapolis and the whole defunding the police and re-imagining public safety: @BullyCreative

I'm thinking of all the ppl who knew Breonna Taylor before she became hashtag. The people who raised her, the people who held her, the people who laughed with her, the people who cried with her, the people who dreamed with her. They didn't deserve this. She didn't deserve this.

1/ 13 The woman on the left in this file photo is Mary Moriarty, Chief Hennepin County Public Defender since 2014.
She is nationally renowned for leading one of the strongest public defense teams in America.
On Tues. 9/8, she could be forced out of her job—unless we speak up.

Charge these cops with murder or resign.
Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman: "We ask people to be patient, we have to do this right, and that is what we'll do." "I can assure the citizens of Minnesota we will do it [investigate and make a charging decision] as quickly as possible." #GeorgeFloyd

Officer Chauvin was the subject of a dozen police conduct complaints - he was never disciplined. He was involved in two shootings of civilians - never disciplined, fired, evaluated; only protected. THIS is where you lay blame for every burning building in this city tonight.
@MikeFreemanHCA #GeorgeFloyd was murdered nearly 72 hours ago in broad daylight on video with eye witnesses. His killers should be arrested and charged. Press charges now Mike Freeman!

“THIS IS WHITE PRIVILEGE!”
Friendly reminder how Charlottesville cops refused to arrest Nazis who pushed them around. Tear gas? That’s for #BlackLivesMatters unarmed protesters wanting a no-brainer arrest for #GeorgeFloyd
