An intimate and honest discussion about policing in north Minneapolis Monday night.
Dubbed a "speak and be heard" dialogue at the north community YMCA, a gathering of several dozen asked Minneapolis Police Chief Madaria Arrandondo topics ranging from out of control driving, how to make a public safety impact on their own block, accountability for command staff, how the culture change within the department is unfolding, and when they will see more police in their neighborhood.
Arradondo said stopping the scourge of gun violence takes the entire community.
"The number one key threat to our safety in our community as African-Americans... is not the police," he said. "We have a condition of the heart in our community. I'm not going to be able to solve that by myself."
Arradondo said Hennepin County Sheriff’s deputies are aiding Minneapolis police responding to crime.
