Karine doesn't rule out potential investigation into slow cop response
Q Thanks, Karine. Does the President believe that there should be an investigation into the police response to this school shooting?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So we’ve heard of — (member of the press coughs) — we’ve — need some water? You okay? (Laughs.) Just let us know.
The President — we’ve — we’ve been watching the reporting on this. The President has the utmost respect, as you all know, for the men and women of law enforcement. Just days ago, he honored the memory of the former police officer, Aaron Salter, in Buffalo who was killed bravely while trying to stop the shooter at the supermarket.
I know that right now authorities are working to piece together more details of what happened in Uvalde, so we won’t prejudge the results from here at this time.
It is al- — it is always a good idea to look back and try to find any lessons we can learn, especially from trag- — tragedies like this, so that we can prevent them from moving forward, including law enforcement response.
