LAPD Chief Issues Formal Apology for Controversial George Floyd Comment: 'I Misspoke'

"Looting is wrong, but it is not the equivalent of murder and I did not mean to equate the two," the top cop said, in part.

Moore ignited a firestorm on social media when he said of looters that the death of George Floyd was "on their hands, as much as it is on those [Minneapolis] officers." "My Apology for Remark Regarding the Death of George Floyd During a Press Conference Earlier Today: I misspoke when making a statement about those engaging in violent acts following the murder of George Floyd," Moore wrote. "While I did immediately correct myself, I recognize that my initial words were terribly offensive. Looting is wrong, but it is not the equivalent of murder and I did not mean to equate the two. I deeply regret and humbly apologize for my characterization.

Saying that he mispoke is far from an apology; indeed, it is the opposite of an apology.

with a crime!

antifa is the modern day nazi's.

I LIVE IN MINNEAPOLIS & I WATCH THE NEWS! THERE ARE NO WHITE SUPREMACISTS UNLESS THE FAR-LEFT HAS GONE SO INSANE THAT THEY ACTUALLY THINK THERE ARE BLACK-WHITE SUPREMACISTS! George Floyd's family has condemned the rioting & all violence but since it's not for him it won't work!

Lol...all of Hollywood could burn and get looted...and you’re worried what the police chief says Priorities

Honey, “misspoke” is when you get the date wrong or the time wrong... you got your whole damn speech wrong?! Clearly the speech isn’t what we should be looking at closely... DefundThePolice

I don’t understand how he expects us to believe that when he said “I know this is a strong statement” he absolutely did not “mispoke” he is clearly part of the problem 😔 God HelpUs

How about “I was wrong and it made me look like my taking to protesters the night before was a big joke”

No he didn’t.

LMAO FOH
