Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg was interviewed by Hari Sreenivasan on the PBS Newshour. Here are excerpts of the interview:
Regarding police policy, training, and laws Steinberg said the following:
But it's a whole another thing to ask whether the protocols and the trainings themselves need to be corrected. And we're going to be very, very aggressive about this, because, regardless of whether or not there was legal — will be legal culpability here, the outcome was just plain wrong. A 22-year-old young man like this shouldn't have lost his life in this way. And so we are going to be diligent.
When asked about why the body camera audio was muted Steinberg replied:
I don’t know. Certainly, there's a lot of audio that you can hear, but it was turned off at some time. And that's a question that I have, that the community has, and will be answered in the investigation. Certainly, the question we will be asking at our next public hearing is simply, is it ever appropriate to mute a body cam? If the answer to that question is no, I think we will already have the answer. But we're going to is ask that question, certainly, as one of the key troubling aspects of the case.
When asked about implicit bias training Steinberg responded:
We are already starting. And, absolutely, we are going — we must intensify our implicit bias training...Implicit bias of course is real. And to deny it is to not to do everything we have to do to prevent this from happening.
