2. Terrill believes that there is more risk to black students by removing the police

"About 80 percent of the people shot in St. Paul this year have been Black, according to police, which Terrill said prompted him to write in his email “there is a 75% chance that the student that will be hurt or killed in a SPPS school or event will be Black student, so as I said earlier in this email the ‘BLOOD’ will be on your hands.”

Terrill said Monday he prays it doesn’t happen, but he added, “there’s guns in the parking lots, there’s guns in the schools and there’s guns that are one call away. A deterrent was always one or two squads parked out there and now you remove that.”
