The chief of Los Angeles police late Monday night issued a formal apology for his 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.
