Jacob Frey

And, you know, I could probably count myself in with those that should have

believed that he was going to do some of this crazy stuff because at least initially back in 2016 i kind of shoved it off like oh my god come on that's ridiculous um but now we're in a second term here and he's carrying some of it out and it's terrifying uh and it's reached a whole new level than anything that we saw in that first term well do you think there's any end in sight to this or is it it's going to your your last is the court the sort of a the last place you can go

Well, we are accessing every single channel that we have.

Yes, we are litigating preemptively.

We are

litigating in response to what's taking place.

I am very optimistic that we're going to win.

And at the same time, we are also accessing other channels in the federal government and the White House to try to get this to change, you know, reaching out to business leaders and CEOs to have them utilize their connections.

We need to do a real investigation.

The investigation should run through the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which is the state-based agency that has done these investigations on use of force repeatedly.

They've run investigations that have come to both charging decisions and a lack of charge.

This is not some radical organization.

This is largely lawyers and police officers.

That are part of this group.

And that's where it needs to go.

Well, the federal government has my understanding is that they have.

blocked out the bca from getting critical and important evidence that would have allowed them to run this investigation side by side with the fbi sure and the bc would have been a normal way to do business back in in the normal way i mean it has it has done that before um that's the way we have operated before uh but but and you know barring that yeah i would like the bca to do the investigation themselves and of course there will be support

Much of it, obviously.

But, you know, we're going to keep providing important constituent services.

We do the work of the city.
