Good morning, my name is J Randolph and I am the Director of Neighborhood and Organizational Development at the Phillips West Neighborhood Organization. PWNO stands in solidarity with our neighbors at the Longfellow Community Council and request that the resolution put forward by LCC be honored and adopted by the City of Minneapolis. The issue of the 3rd precinct is not an isolated one. The systemic racism identified by the Minnesota Department of Human Rights will continue to thrive if our neighbors are ignored and denied their right to representational governance. Our communities have expressed their distrust of the City of Minneapolis and the Minneapolis Police Department and are demanding to be heard and included in the decision making process; we believe that that is the minimum our communities are owed and we will fight for community autonomy and self-determination until we are heard and the demands are met. Thank you.

Cindy Sundberg (above) and husband Mark Sundberg are asking the city to release all available video footage from the night their 20-year-old son was killed by bullets from snipers with the Minneapolis Police Department. Tekle Sundberg lived in an apartment building at 904 21st Ave. South in the Seward neighborhood, and was killed July 14, 2022 while experiencing a mental health crisis. Bystander footage shows Sundberg the moment he was shot, six hours after the standoff began. His family was not allowed to go inside to talk to him although they were present and were there when he was shot by Aaron Pearson and Zachary Seraphine at 4:18 a.m. Mental health professionals were not called to the scene.
