The memo, first reported by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, reading in part, quote, I'm heartbroken by the events in Minneapolis and my prayers and deepest sympathies are with the families, with the communities, and with everyone that's been affected.
This is a time for de-escalation.

More from the letter, quote, I had a good conversation with the president this week where I shared my views and I appreciate his openness to engaging on issues that matter to us all.
The memo quickly drawing criticism online replies to Gurman's post filled with hundreds of comments, many sharply critical of Cook.
