> Dear Mr. Samuels,

> The Social Action Committee of the First Unitarian Society and I urge you to
> probe more deeply into questions surrounding the recent death of Quincy
> Deshawn Smith.  Public knowledge at present is limited to the fact that
> Smith, a well-known disc jockey in the North Minneapolis community, had an
> encounter with five police officers early in the morning of December 9,
> during the course of which he was subdued with a Taser.  He was then
> observed to be in medical distress, and died soon after at Hennepin County
> Medical Center.  We understand that the officers involved have been placed
> on paid administrative leave pending completion of an investigation into
> these events.  
> 
> We join Quincy Smith's mother and father, as well as the north side
> community, and you, in the desire to understand what happened that resulted
> in the death of this young man.  It is important to us to support our police
> in the appropriate performance of their duties, and to nurture safe
> neighborhoods for all our citizens.  We are best able to achieve these goals
> when we can be assured that everyone is held accountable for their actions,
> and for this purpose, the public needs to be kept informed of what is
> learned in this investigation.
> 
> Thank you for all your work on behalf of our city, for justice and peace in
> our community.
> 
> Happy holidays,
