“Why Do You Refuse to Look to Lessons Learned from Previous MPD Officer-Involved Killings?”

Empty Minneapolis City Council

Mr. Turchick,

I am summarizing 50 articles about the viral mental illness I believe the Minneapolis City Council, the Minneapolis Police Department and Judge Quaintance share with some MN Pro Life Trump Supporters.

According to my “Swamp Leak Hypothesis” this mind virus was created by a Sociologist Monk, Dr. Paul Marx at St. John’s University, widely recognized as the “Father of the International Marxist Pro Life Movement”.  I believe the mind virus the City Council and the Minneapolis Police have is the one created by Marxist Feminist author Kate Millett, in 1971, from Summit Ave. in St. Paul.

Victims of these mind viruses are blind to logic, reason, ethics and optics.  They seem to want to create and spread hysteria.

You’ll recall, Mr. Turchick, last August, I published your 50th ignored email between the conviction of officer Mohamed Noor for the death of Justine Damond and the Death of George Floyd.  I genuinely believe the City Council is suffering from a severe mental disorder I’ve been describing for 4 years, including my daily coverage of the Hennepin Community Theater Production, that was the Noor Trial.  

Excerpt: “No one here is on trial for breaking police policy.” Judge Kathryn Quaintance

My first series in 2017, predicted global unrest following an MPD driven event in Mpls. 

My blog has since garnered significant international attention, in legal and social psychology circles with the marketing help of the Minneapolis City Council, The Hennipen County Theater Company and the Minneapolis Police Department.  

With your permission, I’d like to publish today’s email  Why do you refuse to look to lessons learned from previous MPD officer-involved killings?” as it perfectly illustrates the mental illness the Council and MPD seem to share with MN Pro Life Trump supporters. 

With your help, Mr. Turchick, and the attention from international human rights attorney’s and social psychologists we may find a cure.

Appreciation for all that you do.

Mr. Turchick’s original email: 

Dear Council Member Cunningham, 

Why don’t you put on the agenda of the Public Health and Safety Committee a discussion — it might take several discussions — of lessons learned from past MPD officer-involved killings in Minneapolis? I have suggested four cases — the ones where the Council voted for substantial civil settlements – that would be a good place to start: the killings of David Smith, Terrance Franklin, Jamar Clark, and Justine Damond. Perhaps the George Floyd case should also be added.

Why doesn’t this make sense? It seems like such a low-bar expectation: Identify the cause of the problem before coming up with a solution. Who knows? Maybe I have that backwards. After all, I don’t have an advanced degree from the John Jay School of Criminal Justice. But when it was brought up at the July 17, 2020, Council meeting, no one said it didn’t make sense. In fact, Council President Bender said she would like to see this on a future POGO Committee agenda. And then the newly named Public Health and Safety Committee began meeting again, with you as chair. At that July 2020 Council meeting, even Chief Arradondo said that he was open to doing this.

The only person who has suggested a counter-argument is me. I said that maybe these cases are so unique that trying to determine general lessons to be learned would be like playing whack-a-mole. That is, the real problem may be more fundamental, and if changes are made in response to each individual case, the underlying problem will just pop up in a new way. 

But neither you nor anyone on your committee has suggested that may be the case. No, it appears that you all already know the answers, before asking the questions. In public officials, that is dangerous.

So would you please explain to me why you haven’t put this item on the Public Health and Safety Committee’s agenda, when not a single Council member spoke in opposition when Council Member Gordon made the suggestion 11 months ago, which was immediately supported by both Council President Bender and Chief Arradondo?

Your silence about this suggestion since you became chair of this committee nine months ago speaks volumes. And it speaks volumes about whether the Council should have greater authority over the police department.

Yours,

Chuck Turchick
