And that's an example of what our officers have had to face every single day in Minneapolis and in Minnesota. And why I'm grateful that The President had the wisdom to send Tom Holman there to have conversations Again, to see if he can get the leaders of Governor Walz and Mayor Fry to commit to honoring our detainers and to keeping our officers safe while they do their work. We've been asking them to do this for months. They have refused to agree. We're hoping that Tom has an opportunity to restart those conversations and see if we can get them to help clear clean up the streets of Minneapolis. (05:19–05:33)
