Well, I've seen the videos just as thousands of people around the country have, and the videos speak for themselves.

I think it's deeply concerning the things that are being said.

This is an individual that was a city resident.

It appears that he was present exercising his First Amendment rights to record law enforcement activity.

and also exercising his Second Amendment rights to lawfully be armed in a public space in the city.

So I think very obviously there are serious questions that are being raised.

And I think the greater issue is even if there is an investigation that ultimately proves that at the time of the shooting it was legally justified, I don't think that even matters at this point because there is so much outrage and concern around what is happening in the city.

People have had enough.

This is the third shooting now in less than three weeks.

The Minneapolis Police Department went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds and hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone.

And now this is the second American citizen that's been killed.

It's the third shooting within three weeks.

People have been speaking out, saying that this was going to happen again.

And I think everyone is kind of waiting for folks on both sides to come together and just figure this thing out.

This is not sustainable.

This police department has only 600 police officers.

We are stretched incredibly thin.

This is taking an enormous toll trying to manage all of this chaos on top of having to be the police department for a major city.

Exactly.
