Statement From the U.S. Conference of Mayors Following Death of Another Protestor in Minneapolis
The U.S. Conference of Mayors, joined by large-city police chiefs, demands national leaders act swiftly to reduce tensions following a fatal shooting in Minneapolis.
- In recent weeks, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, posted by Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt, called for immediate intervention by national leaders to de-escalate after a fatal Minneapolis shooting.
- Framing the incident historically, the Conference reminded readers that what has occurred in recent weeks in Minneapolis and surrounding communities threatens nationwide escalation and ICE has operated 23 years.
- This week the nation's mayors joined large‑city police chiefs in a joint statement urging federal law enforcement agencies to model professionalism and insist on calm and de‑escalation.
- The U.S. Conference of Mayors, representing more than 1,400 cities with populations of 30,000 or more, warned that deadly confrontations erode public trust and endanger local officers.
- They urged residents exercising First Amendment rights to pursue legal, non-violent protest and called on American mayors representing Republican, Democratic and Independent cities to demand statesmanship and end turmoil.
