Mayor Jacob Frey on the Minneapolis Mass Shooting (One Hour Detours)

Published | Video Starts at 02:22

The fact that there have been countless mayors texting me over the last several days that have they themselves experienced a mass shooting is in and of itself horrific. Of course they're offering advice and input, support. But The fact that this has happened in one city, we don't do anything about it, and then it happens in another city is negligence. At best, it's active, actively preventing change from happening at worst. And it's actually the latter, the day of the shooting, you know, I was at an event earlier, earlier in the morning. (02:22–02:34)

CLAIM

Asserts that inaction after mass shootings in one city leads to negligence when it happens in another.
