REFLECTIONS ON THE PANDEMIC Churches hopeful for nearly normal Easter Jason Hawk and Laina Yost The Chronicle-Telegram ELYRIA — For almost every Sunday during the COVID-19 pandemic, St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church has been virtual. Congregants are hoping Easter will be the day they reunite. The Rev. June Hardy Dorsey said her church has followed the Lorain County COVID threat level to determine whether the congregation can gather in person. And for most of the pandemic, Lorain County’s level has been red or purple. But if it goes down to orange or yellow, St. Andrew’s finally will be able to open its doors. “That would be such a good sign of hope at Easter to be able to come together,” Hardy Dorsey said. “During Holy Week we look at some of the sacrifices that Christ made. Not to compare our sacrifices and difficulties with that, but it’s been a way to read those scriptures in a new way and understand them through a different kind of KRISTIN BAUER / CHRONICLE lens.” Connie Weingartz, of Avon, stands behind her husband, Ed, for a portrait Thursday.

  • Charter Commission Public Safety Comments July 20
    7/20/2020 4:04:40 PM My name is 00000 00000000, and I am a resident of Minneapolis. I support divestment from police and reinvestment in our communities, and I am calling on the Charter Commission to let the people vote on the charter amendment. Over-policing and police violence have destroyed Black, brown and Indigenous communities while failing to keep us safe. Voters like me should have a role in determining the future of public safety in our city, because we know best what will allow all our neighborhoods to really thrive. This initiative is our best chance to build stronger, safer communities for everyone in Minneapolis. Please pass the charter amendment along to voters, and respect our democratic right to decide the future of our city. Ward 3 7/20/2020 4:04:51 PM I'm a member of Kenwood community, and I’d like to voice my support for the charter amendment to change the way our city handles public safety. To push the vote back another year is an act of disrespect and hate toward the marginalized people who are most impacted by the oppressive nature of our current system. Any member of the commission who thinks that waiting is best will lose the respect of the people they represent. Please listen to the calls of the people and allow this change to go through this year. Let the people decide for themselves! Ward 7 7/20/2020 4:06:35 PM I support the charter commission moving the current language of the amendment to a ballot vote in November.

  • The Seven (At Least) Lessons of the Myon Burrell Case
    The Seven (at least) Lessons of the Myon Burrell Case LESLIE E. REDMOND & MARK OSLER I. INTRODUCTION For much of the world, 2020 was a troubling year, but few places saw as much uproar as Minnesota. The police killing of George Floyd set off protests in Minnesota and around the world,1 even as a pandemic and economic downturn hit minority communities with particular force.2 But, somehow, the year ended with an event that provided hope, promise, and a path to healing. On December 15, 2020, the Minnesota Board of Pardons granted a commutation of sentence to Myon Burrell, who had been convicted of murder and attempted murder and sentenced to life in prison.3 The Burrell case, closely examined, is a Pandora’s box containing many of the most pressing issues in criminal justice: racial disparities, the troubling treatment of juveniles, mandatory minimums, the power (and, too often, lack) of advocacy, the potential for conviction and sentencing review units, clemency, and the need for multiple avenues of second-look sentencing. The purpose of this essay is to briefly explore each of these in the context of this one remarkable case, and to use this example to make a 1 Damien Cave, Livia Albeck-Ripka & Iliana Magra, Huge Crowds Around the Globe March in Solidarity Against Police Brutality, N.Y.

For their Complaint, Plaintiffs state and allege as follows: INTRODUCTION The right to assemble is fundamental, as is the right to speak out against injustice. These rights are enshrined in our Constitution. Ideas and movements that changed the course of our history came to the forefront of the American consciousness through assembly and protest. Law enforcement too often has been on the wrong side of history, attempting to suppress the right of the people to assemble. This freedom cannot be suppressed and it must be protected at all costs. Minnesota is no exception. Historically, law enforcement in Minneapolis specifically, and Minnesota more generally, have attempted to suppress the right of its citizens to assemble peacefully. Recently, they have been and are actively suppressing this right by exercising CASE 0:20-cv-01645 Document 1 Filed 07/28/20 Page 2 of 32 unnecessary and excessive force against protesters who gathered to express their outrage at the murder of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department.

  • Reconstructing Justice: Race, Generational Divides, and the Fight Over “Defund the Police”
    Policy Essay Reconstructing Justice: Race, Generational Divides, and the Fight Over “Defund the Police” Michael Javen Fortner Assistant Professor, Political Science CUNY Graduate Center October 2020 Key Takeaways ► The fate of defund measures in Minneapolis, Atlanta, and New York City document the ways in which the fight over “defund the police” is as much a conflict between young and old and left and center as it is between Black and white. ► The expansion of the carceral state was a bipartisan affair. Interpretations that put all the weight on white political interests unduly minimize the impact of violence on Black communities. The younger generation, however, bore the brunt of aggressive, discriminatory policing. ► National polls demonstrate that there is a great deal of confusion around the word “defund,” and most African Americans see it as something other than completely ridding cities of cops. ► Most Americans, especially Blacks, see room for community groups and non-law enforcement professionals, such as social workers and doctors, in a broader public safety strategy. The evidence recommends the same. The Niskanen Center is a 501(c)3 issue advocacy organization that works to change public policy through direct engagement in the policymaking process.

  • Derek Chauvin Verdict Brings a Rare Rebuke of Police Misconduct
    _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Derek Chauvin Verdict Brings a Rare Rebuke of Police Misconduct A jury deliberated for just over 10 hours before pronouncing Mr. Chauvin guilty on all three charges: second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. A celebration at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis after Derek Chauvin, a former police officer, was found guilty of murder on Tuesday.Credit...Victor J. Blue for The New York Times By John Eligon, Tim Arango, Shaila Dewan and Nicholas Bogel- Burroughs April 20, 2021 MINNEAPOLIS — A former police officer who pressed his knee into George Floyd’s neck until well past Mr. Floyd’s final breath was found guilty of murder on Tuesday in a case that shook the nation’s conscience and drew millions into the streets for the largest racial justice protests in generations. The verdict, which could send the former officer, Derek Chauvin, to prison for decades, was a rare rebuke of police violence, following case after case of officers going without charges or convictions after killing Black men, women and children. 2 At the center of it all was an excruciating video, taken by a teenage girl, that showed Mr. Chauvin, who is white, kneeling on the neck of Mr. Floyd, who was Black, for nine minutes and 29 seconds as Mr. Floyd pleaded for his life and bystanders tried to intervene. Mr. Floyd repeated “I can’t breathe” more than 20 times during the encounter. George Floyd died last year after being pinned to the ground by Mr. Chauvin and other officers. The video, played on a horrifying loop for the past year, triggered more than calls for changes in policing.

    CLE SEMINAR Conducting Effective Voir Dire on Issues of Race Hosted at: Federal Public Defender's Office Speaker: Kyana Givens, AFPD from the Western District of Washington Portland, Oregon Live on April 25, 2018 12:00pm to 1:00pm Eugene, Oregon Via video conference on April 25, 2018 12:00pm to 1:00pm Medford, Oregon Via video conference on April 25, 2018 12:00pm to 1:00pm Bias in Blue: Instructing Jurors to Consider the Testimony of Police Officer Witnesses with Caution Vida B. Johnson* Abstract Jurors in criminal trials are instructed by the judge that they are to treat the testimony of a police officer just like the testimony of any other witness. Fact-finders are told that they should not give police officer testimony greater or lesser weight than any other witness they will hear from at trial. Jurors are to accept that police are no more believable or less believable than anyone else. Jury instructions regarding police officer testimony stand in contrast to the instructions given to jurors when a witness with a legally recognized interest in the outcome of the case has testified. In cases where witnesses have received financial assistance or plea deals for their testimony, a special instruction is given. For example, when a witness with a cooperation agreement testifies, the trial court will tell the jury that while the witness has the same obligation to tell the truth as other witnesses, the jury can consider whether the witness has an interest different from other types of witnesses and that her testimony should be considered with caution.

  • Public Safety Comment (Jul 3
    7/3/2020 10:44:57 AM I am afraid of what will happen when the police are "defunded" or "abolished" (the unclear and inconsistent language around this issue is infuriating and confusing). I am comparing this issue to what happened back in the 60s and 70s when mental health asylums were disbanded and community-based options were supposed to take over (group homes, day treatment, etc). However, even though some funding was funneled to create these community-based options, not enough was funded. So now we are left with a gap of care that has impacted thousands of individuals, people who should be in groups homes or mental health institutions are now on the streets, homeless, addicted to drugs, and struggling to survive. Community-based options do work when implemented correctly. However, we as a country have had a history of really sucking at implementing them. How will Minneapolis know that no MPD is working? How are you going to measure that? How will you ensure that the money that would have went to funding MPD actually makes it to these community-based programs, instead of lining some politician's pocket? Why are we funding personal security for a select few, while debating taking away the security of the general public? And since Hennepin County Sheriff Deputies will be picking up the slack that is created by disbanding MPD, isn't that worse to have people who don't really know or live in the community police it? Why can't we keep the MPD, get rid of the police union, and re-hire and re- train people who are from the communities they would be policing? Don't disband MPD totally, but maybe take away the military equipment, and use that funding for community options? It is not right that tax money is being used for personal security guards.
