I think it's really important that we not shy away from really difficult conversations. The Pollara report included some deeply troubling discoveries. One of the things I would point out, though, is that the origin of the Pollara report was a proactive decision within the department to do something in the wake of the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers, at a time when the world was talking about doing more to combat systemic racism. The department decided it wanted to do something too. It discovered some pretty serious things that we need to address, and that was part of the justification for launching this anti-racism task force.
