#4 a summer safety response, targeted resources and investment, an accountability and culture shift within Minneapolis Police Department, and 'safety beyond policing,' which he said would include alternative responses to violence.

What on earth does this gibberish even mean? Not that I think Jacob Frey has any idea, either, but I guess it sounds good on sound bites on uncritical TV "news" programs.

#7 a summer safety response, targeted resources and investment, an accountability and culture shift... 'safety beyond policing,' ... alternative responses to violence.

This is authentic urban gibberish. Being meaningless is the point, since it allows the listener to project their desires and politics onto whatever they think the message was. It's all BOMFOG.
