The video of the officer warning armed white men who were protecting a store has prompted a public apology from the chief of police in Salem, Oregon.
Graham, 39, told BuzzFeed News she had posted on social media over the weekend, asking for men to protect her store because she had heard it would be targeted by vandals in retaliation for her defiance of the coronavirus lockdown."I didn't call for an army to come outside my salon," she said."I called for men to come protect my salon from rioters and looters."
"The message we have received is a concern that we are treating people differently. For that I tell you, I am sorry," he said."Sorry that there is even a thought that this department would treat some different than others." "The impact the interactions captured on the video had on our community has been discussed with the officer," he said."Unfortunately, he had not been fully briefed about enforcement of the curfew before he spoke with the group. Moving forward, all officers tasked with enforcement of the curfew will be properly educated before deployment.
She said she believed the officer was not demonstrating favoritism and that protesters had been warned via megaphone to obey the curfew.
