ASHOL WYTE: Good morning and thank you for being here on this beautiful Tuesday morning, granted to us by our lord and savior Jesus Christ. I’m Chief of Police, Ashol Wyte. First, I stand here to ease tensions around the nation by clarifying some disturbing allegations that have been made against the Koscan Police Department. I tell you with all sincerity that Koscan nor the rest of America has a place for racist police officers. We do not condone racism in any form. Misguided people around the country are trashing cities because of this fallacy. It is my belief that chaos has erupted in this nation because some people are deviating from their place in society. Efforts across the board to address this issue have been futile. Residents of Koscan have seen the vandalism of the ‘Harrison Lynching’ statue in front of City Hall. That statue is a symbol of fear, respect and obedience and shall always stand in its place to remind our black and brown residents of their place in this country.

My officers don’t shoot unless they have a good reason. It is a fact of nature that black and brown people are threatening. When you come in close proximity to my white officers you are threatening their life, and it is my job to keep my officers safe. If you are black or brown and my officers stop you, you are guilty. It’s the law in this state. Koscan police officers are not racists, because they are upholding the law. White officers make mistakes because we are human, and should not be held accountable for those mistakes, because they are just mistakes.

Misinformation has plagued our state with the help of social media. Nowhere in the history books does it say that anyone but white Europeans built the United States. Needless to say, we are going to fight to keep our beautiful country from being tainted and destroyed. Being passionate about protecting our beautiful land from attackers is not racism. If you’re black or brown just do what the officers tell you to do, and you might not get shot. It’s up to the discretion of the officers how they want to deal with each situation. At the end of the day, staying alive is up to you. Thank you.
