Of interest to folks concerned about the Mpls. police conduct at protests:
----forwarded message---
The City Council's Public Safety and Regulatory Services Committee (the
committee that held the public hearing about police/city conduct at the
ISAG protests, at which so many folks testified) will hear a proposal by
Council member Jim Niland on a new City policy regarding police conduct
at political demonstrations. Niland's proposal is based on the testimony
offered at the earlier public hearings and other discussions he had with
folks involved in the ISAG (and other) protests.
Jim feels it would be important to have a noticeable public presence at
the hearing, even though it will not be open for public testimony (two
or three people will be allowed to speak), to show Council members that
the issue has not gone away and that there continues to be a demand for
a City policy that respects the right to protest.
If you can, please come to the hearing. It will be Wednesday, October 4,
in room 319 of City Hall. Niland's proposal will be discussed at 4:00
pm.
