Cmsr. @LawrenceWeekly spoke at today's Commission Mtg. about recent events including an @LVMPD officer being shot in Las #Vegas at a protest. The Commissioner knows it's a difficult time. He supports people's right to protest, but he's asking people not to resort to violence. pic.twitter.com/Kxg7lUSc8W
