Statement from Vallejo Police Chief, Andrew Bidou
"Any loss of life is a tragedy and my sincerest condolences go out to the Foster family for their loss.
The information provided by Mr. Burris today has the power to undermine the true relationship between the Vallejo community and police. Although the investigation into this incident is not complete, the evidence, including the officer body camera video, reveal a different story than what was relayed in Mr. Burris' press release. We will be working to meet with the Foster family so they can view the body camera footage of the incident.
Today, I have scheduled a meeting with representatives from the Vallejo Times Herald and leaders within the Vallejo African American community. I will personally discuss aspects of this investigation. My hope is that this local group will report the facts of this incident so our community will have the accurate and independent information they deserve."
