the Florida Democrat is on the short
list of potential running mates for
presumptive presidential nominee Joe
Biden and congresswoman Demings joins us
now from Orlando congresswoman good
morning a lot of news to get to I want
to start with the news out of
Minneapolis
the City Council voting to dismantle not
just defund but dismantle and rebuild
the police department there is that a
strategy you could agree with well first
of all let me say good morning to you
and everyone it's good to be with you
there are a lot of things being proposed
throughout the nation and I think it's
the direct result of people being hurt
disappointed at what happened to mr.
Floyd that's all too familiar to them
but also angry and demanding change and
I do believe that everyone has a right
to look at any proposal that is put
forth because there desperately needs to
be changed I also believe that the
council is being very thoughtful in
terms of looking at all of the services
that police provide you know there are
some cases that statutorily law
enforcement is responsible for
investigating they do a lot of things
associated with natural disasters and
terrorism and so what I believe the
council along with law enforcement
authorities and other community leaders
will sit down and look at everything and
come out with the plan that allows them
to keep Minneapolis safe but also bring
the community and the police together in
a much-needed and long overdue way
