For some reason these are politically partisan events, by default. Republicans were invited but no Republican officials showed up.
State Representative Harry Lewis was asked to speak at one of these events:
With 3 witnesses present Harry said, “No”, he did not support the police community meetings.
When asked, "Why?'

When Harry Lewis was asked, Who told you the forums cause trouble?” Harry would not answer.
Maybe it was these police:
