A Southern California city mayor has resigned after apologizing for an email that he wrote that stated he didn’t “believe there’s ever been a good person of color killed by a police officer” according to The Press-Enterprise.
Temecula Mayor James Stewart was responding to an email where he was asked what he was doing about racism and police violence.
This was the content of the email according to The Press-Enterprise:
“As you know the City of Temecula does not have its own Police Department.
And I don’t believe there’s ever been a good person of color killed by a police officer.
What I said is and I don’t believe there has ever been a person of color murdered by police, on context to Temecula or Riverside county.”
