I am not sure where he said it. I think it was part of a relatively short speech.
He started out by validating that his death seemed grotesque. And then trying to reassure people that there would in fact be a proper legal investigation into what happened there.
And then he turned his concern to the small business owners who were experiencing looters decimating their businesses. And by-standers who were being caught up in violence.
And then he said he would deploy the military to keep the peace.
But that very first part... I understand that his intention was good.
But he did in fact say that his death would not be in vain.
But his death was in vain.
There can be no justice for a wrongful death.
I mean. The courts can do their thing... So justice in that sense...
But nothing can ever undo the loss of a life.
That's what is to tragic about it.
I know he didn't mean to imply that... But it was an unfortunate phrase / thing that he said.
