I know that is true.

I've had many people reach out and activists reach out, our elected officials, many people who typically have nothing good to say about the Minneapolis police have been incredibly complimentary of how well, how restrained, how disciplined the Minneapolis police officers have been in these very, very tense situations over the last several days.

But it's not universal.

You know, there's people here who

despite what's happening, seem to think it's our job to do ICE's job.

There's people here to seem to think that we should continue to make the same failed mistakes of the past when dealing with protests and crowd control and not utilize the best practices to deescalate and to keep everyone safe.

Are we fully aware of that?

Of course not.

We haven't accomplished winning trust with all levels of the community.

That was obvious this week with all the hate and vitriol that was directed towards our officers.

But there's certainly been progress.

I mean, I think everybody wants to get back to some sense of normalcy.

And I think that does involve some level of returning to some basic things that we accepted as normal.

You know, that obviously isn't federal law enforcement stops enforcing federal law.

That's not the answer either.

But it does have to do with having an honest conversation with

about reality.

We've had many instances of people being stopped, family members of police officers being stopped that are American citizens.

Yeah, it's definitely, at best, it is definitely questionable.

They're not stopping family members of folks who are Norwegian or Irish.
