On May 25 George Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis Police Officer. When the bystander video was released, it was horrific. We saw a man’s last breath being forced from his body. It shook us to our core.
The deaths of Jamar Clark and Philando Castile numbed us, but this...this for a lot of people was the last straw. As a result our state is in turmoil. Protests and civil unrest have ensued.
People are exhausted. It’s exhausting. No one wanted it to come to this.
Right now things seem out of control, but they’ve been that way.
We need Mike Freeman to follow through immediately with the investigation and charge the former officer(s) as soon as possible.
The county has to reconsider its priorities. What we have done is just not enough, and we’ve been spinning our wheels for far too long.
All leaders must take a stand to speak out against the death of George Floyd and commit to a productive path forward.
The looting is a result of a deeper issue, it is poverty, mental health, homelessness, and unaddressed structural racism, among other things.
As a good friend said, the roots of this are deep! ... See MoreSee Less

The black race has waited too long for justice, and in the end its just us. A change is coming...not in the next century, but its coming now. How long must we be the oppressed?
I personally know the bystander who recorded the video...I wonder if an eye witness testimony would count, since they are trying to challenge the validity of the the video!

"It is smart for all communities to have well balanced political leaders. I believe De’Vonna Pittman will bring forth experiences of a solid business acumen, fresh ideas, and experiences for a much needed and balanced seat at the table.
Knowing De’Vonna personally, some of her early life roots are ingrained in stories of adversity and hardships. Today, her education, business mind, and career background highlight the strengths she possess necessary to become county commissioner.
The people of District 1 deserve a balanced, commissioner, someone who will see them, and hear them!"

"It is both an honor and privilege that I enthusiastically endorse the candidacy of De’Vonnna Pittman for election to the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners District 1.
I have known De’Vonna for many years and have had the distinct fortune of working with her on two major county initiatives (the Twins Ballpark project and the Disparities Reduction effort).
There is no other candidate that has the insight and drive to support the best interest of the constituents of District 1. With a Master’s Degree in Law Enforcement Leadership and almost 20 years working for the county, she is loyal to the ideals of Hennepin and committed to its success.
As a ten-year US Army veteran, small business owner, and proud person of color, I am convinced that she will be a champion who will fight against systemic racism, xenophobia and other major issues that plague Hennepin County and abroad!"
