The Duluth Branch of the NAACP posts a public statement (“Statement from the Duluth Branch of the NAACP regarding the ‘Use of Force in Minnesota’ forum and the potential purchase of riot gear by the Duluth Police Department”) regarding the “Use of Force Forum” and the City of Duluth’s potential purchase of riot gear.
The letter requested the forum be postponed. Other community members and organizations made similar statements, both publicly and privately, that aligned with the original letter drafted from the Sept. 6th meeting and the NAACP public statement.
