Pastor Mike asked Sheriff Troy Berry the following questions:

- In Minnesota the officers had several past bad behaviors and were never removed from the force. Have you as the Sheriff task the department to look over personnel files of your officers to ensure you relieve the bad officers?

- How are you dealing with the possibility that some, not all, of the of the officers serving as policemen may have racist beliefs? Are complaints against them taken into consideration during evaluation time?

- In our neighborhood community this past weekend, 6-8 young black teens had been walking around the neighborhood. I am a white female and had seen them throughout the entire day, leaving the same house on our street, just hanging out together, walking around the circle and ponds, then returning. No problems and I had no concerns - just teens going for walks, hanging out after EOY school. Later in the afternoon, our neighborhood app alerted that they had been stopped by two community police cars because they "looked out of place." When did we go from stopping people just for walking around and not after an illegal action? Walking is not suspicious activity. Even if they were visiting a friend from other areas or neighborhoods, that's a good thing - not illegal. I understand groups of teens around here tend to get into fights/mob when the group gets larger but how about stopping when something occurs - not stopping peaceful groups of friends from walking about?

- What are the statistics on cop violence in our area...are there any excessive force vases being brought up on cops right now...where do we get this information?

- What are the consequences for excessive for here?

- Is there a community accountability committee or review board in our county, a body that reviews excessive force cases or reviewed arrest and monitors body cameras to continuously update officers on their practices?
