When politicians act on behalf of people it is so refreshing. It wipes away layers of cynicism and despair. This guy is not even my council member.

I hope soon! Here is a timeline as when these requests were authored and approved by council.

Davis Moturi request was approved Oct 31, 2024.

Allison Lussier request was approved Feb 13, 2025.

Mariah Samuels request was approved Oct 14, 2025.

I really hope Mariah’s comes asap. 💔

They must be tracked, implemented, and reported on so that this Council & this community can hold the administration accountable for follow-through. We owe that to these families. We owe that to every Minneapolis resident who deserves a public safety system that actually works. 14/

That is why I am committed to bringing the Mayor’s administration before the Public Health, Safety, and Equity Committee to conduct regular, public reporting on the status of the recommendations that came out of today’s review. 13/

The families of Davis Moturi and Allison Lussier deserve more than a report. They deserve accountability, and they deserve change. 12/

These findings are horrific. They describe a department that failed at nearly every level. From how it applied the law, how it gathered evidence, how it communicated, and how it spoke to the public. These are failures. 11/

* Messaging from MPD leadership was at times premature, underinformed, and inaccurate. These statements caused additional harm to the families and heightened public concern. 

* Misstatements also played into longstanding distrust among communities disproportionately affected by violence. 10/

* In the Lussier case, inconsistent communication with the Medical Examiner contributed to incorrect internal assumptions. 

* These issues reflect a broader problem, where strained relationships at senior levels created ripple effects through the organization. 9/

* Information did not consistently reach officers or investigators across units or shifts, resulting in missed opportunities for escalation. 

* In the Moturi case, a gun‑threat report was not escalated before the shooting. 8/

* In the Lussier case, incomplete early documentation weakened later investigations. Importantly, MPD did not obtain the Medical Examiner’s report for its homicide investigation until the audit team requested it. 7/

* In the Moturi case, documentation of officer follow‑up was inconsistent, reducing situational awareness across shifts. 6/

* Reporting practices varied widely, including incomplete witness statements, missing victim forms, inconsistent injury documentation, and inconsistent use of flags for bias, weapons, or repeat conduct. 5/

* These differences influenced arrest decisions, case escalation, &, importantly, the accuracy of information provided to victims. 

* In the Lussier case, differing views on Crime Lab involvement highlighted the need for more consistent protocols around scene processing & evidence preservation. 4/

Here is what the reviews found:

* Officers demonstrated inconsistent understanding of critical legal and procedural tools such as the distinction between Harassment Restraining Orders and Orders for Protection; warrant execution limits; and the “72 Hour Rule.” 3/

They reveal a pattern of systemic failures that had real consequences for people, for their families, and for the communities who trusted this city to keep them safe. 2/

Council Member Chavez’s Statement on After Action Review Regarding the Shooting of Davis Moturi and the Death of Allison Lussier Dear neighbor, This morning, we held a joint Audit Committee and Minneapolis City Council meeting regarding the after action reviews to assess the City of Minneapolis’ handling of the shooting of Davis Moturi and the death of Allison Lussier.

Yeah, it’s extremely performative and super-Republican-coded

the thing about the minneapolis paraphernalia law is that the literal state of minnesota has already passed this law and this would just bring city ordinance in alignment with it and yet it turns out our mayor and half the council are *more conservative* than the rest of the state

We were told an eviction wouldn’t be required. And then the info today contradicted that which is frustrating.

A brief story:

This morning a child went missing on the way to school in my neighborhood.

Law enforcement and search and rescue were called, and also the networks we built for ICE Rapid Response.

Citizens - since ward 7 voted for the councilperson the mayor wanted, now you can have nice things.

Reminds me of how the Mayor’s admin was so against us bringing our budget amendment to create the safety ambassador program in 2023. They tried to get us to just accept an embedded social worker on Central Ave instead. Luckily we didn’t listen and expanded it to iUptown and other cultural corridors.

Letting this sit for over two years until a council member backed by your pac was elected isn’t very “TEAM MPLS” of you, Mr Jacob

Thank you 🙏🏽

Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.

and this is why city council should have their own attorneys

City Council looked like it would pass decriminalization of drug paraphernalia by a veto proof 9-4 vote in committee. Then an assistant city attorney said that it might hinder the prosection of drug dealers. Vetaw and Palmisano changed their votes in response.
