Cuomo- "When you say you see someday being police-free that sounds aspirational, a utopian concept where nobody's committing any crime, because as long as these communities are being preyed upon, both from within and without, there's gonna have to be good men and women willing to step up to keep people safe."
Lisa Bender- "I think the idea of having a police-free future is very aspirational, and I am willing to stand with community members who are asking us to think of that as the goal. We recognize that we don't have all the answers about what a police-free future looks like, but our community does. We're committed to engaging with every willing community member in the city of Minneapolis over the next year to identify what safety looks like for you." (CNN)
Comment: LinkedIn is caught in the technology trap. That field requires highly-educated, engineering-oriented workers, which currently sorts out to mostly male, and most likely Asian or white, as LinkedIn's own internal report shows. More education initiatives may help some with the diversity issue. But they will put themselves on a slippery slope to corporate failure if merit is not at the top of the list.
