Describing it as a “slap in the face,” Chief Frederickson pointed out Warren’s comments come after she paid respect to two fallen officers, Sgt. Sean Gannon and Sgt. Michael Chesna, who died in the line of duty.
“Sen. Warren’s recent statement tarnished us all and dimished [sic] the sincerty [sic] of her condolence efforts. I now cannot trust her actions or words are real.”
During a Q&A hosted by the Congressional Black Caucus at New Orleans’ historically black Dillard University, Warren claimed the criminal justice system was rife with racism from the top down.
“The hard truth about our criminal justice system,” Warren said, “It’s racist… I mean front to back.”
On Saturday, Warren clarified her remarks referred to systemic racism, “not individuals.”
“I spoke about an entire system — not individuals,” she said, adding there are “a lot of good people” in law enforcement working to reform the system.
