You're referring to the fact that I believe this officer in the Times has written about it, was involved in a stop where he was dragged in a car.

I mean, you're basically raising questions about whether ICE agents are sufficiently trained to handle these kinds of encounters.

Let me turn to the investigation.

And I want to ask you about two issues that have arisen with this investigation.

The first, of course, is that the federal government has blocked local officials from participating in the investigation.

And they basically argue that because of comments made by your boss, Mayor Jacob Fry, that local officials can't be objective.

On the other hand, you've got the Trump administration out there basically saying –

You know, Rene Good is entirely at fault and the ICE officer did nothing wrong here.

So can they be objective?

How are you making sense of what has become an incredibly messy and contentious situation over what I normally think of as everybody doing joint investigations of a tragic situation?

But will Minneapolis residents believe that it's a serious investigation?

I want to talk about what happens next now in the city.

as this investigation, for which there may not be much faith locally, unfolds?

Because in the wake of this shooting and these protests, your governor has dispatched the National Guard to Minneapolis.

The president is dispatching or plans to dispatch far more federal officials, border patrol agents.

Is that just going to magnify all the challenges that we have been talking about here?

If this escalates, are you worried, Chief O'Hara, that all of this is just going to erase the work you've done over the past four-plus years to rebuild and repair the community's trust in the Minneapolis Police Department?

I mean, is there any part of you that feels that this moment could strengthen the relationship between the community and police and test this work and reveal that you all have made progress?

That people will see a distinction between the MPD and the feds?

Just to end this conversation, Chief O'Hara, how do you think you get back?
