“Do you know if I’m going to gassed again, like I was Monday night?” Police Chief Thomas Jackson addressed complaints about the department’s response to protests following the fatal shooting of Michael Brown.
During the event, Missouri State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal, said she was among the peaceful protestors who were hit with tear gas Monday night.
She asked Jackson if she would be gassed again.
The police chief remained stoic, until he heard she was a State Senator. Then, with a shocked look, he responded "I hope not."
Brown's death has prompted a federal inquiry, nightly protests in Ferguson, and debate around the country about law enforcement and the media treatment of minorities.
