"I never said actually,” Yates’ statement read. “This is plainly false and factually inaccurate. And to think that beyond a discussion of comparative statistics that I would suggest that the 'police should actually be shooting' anyone is simply outrageous."
In Monday's interview, Yates also expressed displeasure with the protests against police brutality and systemic racism in the wake of the death of George Floyd, the 46-year-old Black man who died while a white police officer kneeled on his neck for nearly 9 minutes in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25.
"This is what they're trying to say that all these changes need to come from: this is why we're protesting, this is why we're rioting. Because of systematic abuse of power and racism. That just doesn't exist." Yates also said he believed the arrest of officer Derek Chauvin -- who knelt on Floyd's neck for almost 9 minutes causing Floyd to die -- and the three other officers on the scene was justice in itself.
"The officer was arrested the next day. They were prosecuted, they were fired. What are you doing? What do you mean, 'justice?' Justice at this point has been done," Yates said.
