I attended the meeting and I felt such pride in and gratitude for the people who spoke out. It reaffirmed my belief that Carver County is a place of strong community that values all residents no matter their ethnic background. Even though commissioner Workman closed the public comment section of the meeting by saying the commissioners don’thave the power to influence Sheriff Kamerud, who makes the decision regarding using the jail as a detention center, I believe they had to have been moved by the eloquent and heartfelt comments of their constituents.
I would like to propose anyone who is able, to wear a balaclava with sunglasses to any event with ice. Perfect winter wear in Minnesota. Ice would be unable to tell anyone's skin color or race. Ice isn't the only ones who can mask up.
Love what's being said here but why did you use a shifty AI filter on the header image? I know some of those people and that's not what they look like. This is bad for the message you're trying to convey.

Thank you fellow citizens for speaking up and out - you and your supporters (including myself) are on the right side of history/herstory!!!
Excellent article. I emailed my commissioner.

I second this. There was no reason to use AI on this, it just makes it look like the entire event was fake.
