This is just the first part of the article. Well worth clicking over to read the entire thing. The article also includes a few videos of the gentleman talking at the press conference.
During a press conference following a mass shooting in Rochester, New York, on Saturday night, Rochester Police Department (RPD) Captain Frank Umbrino unloaded on Democrats’ policies, specifically bail reform, for wreaking havoc in the neighborhood.
The police captain also seemingly railed at protesters and activists from outside the city for speaking on behalf of a neighborhood they would not even visit, according to Umbrino. The dozens of people he’s talked to from the neighborhood, the captain said, want them “to get the hell out of their city.”
The city of Rochester has been subjected to at-times violent protesting for two weeks now, in response to the death of Daniel Prude, a black man who died back in March about a week following an interaction with the RPD — and interaction that occurred after Prude’s brother, Joe Prude, called 911 asking for help.
The mass shooting on Saturday night killed Jarvis Alexander and Jaquayla Young, two teens who had just graduated high school. Mr. Umbrino said the teens were likely not targets but collateral damage following some sort of verbal altercation; gang violence has also not been ruled out. Sixteen people, ranging in age from 17-23, were shot in total.
“I’m not surprised by the violence that’s been taking place,” Umbrino said at the Sunday press conference (full video below). “You know, I’m going to get in trouble, probably, for this, but if I hear one more politician talk about what we need to do to stop the violence; we need more gun laws, we need this, we need that — quite frankly, I’m going to vomit. These people who say that have no idea what they are talking about.”
“We have a lot of gun laws currently on the books that we don’t enforce. I shouldn’t say we don’t enforce — we enforce them, but you have individuals locked up for illegal hand guns, and being released from custody the next day,” he explained. “That’s disgusting. How does that happen?”
“So, if anybody is surprised that there’s been an uptick in violence, since we don’t enforce the current gun laws that we have, I don’t know what to tell ya. But those are the fact,” Umbrino continued. “These politicians that wanna say we need more gun laws, we need this, we need that, do me a favor: just stop talking, because you really don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Come and ask anybody that lives in these neighborhoods,” the police captain said. “I’ve had conversations over the last three weeks with dozens of people who live in these neighborhoods … They don’t believe any of the stuff you’re saying. There needs to be accountability.”
