The first thing Bush did was slip up by saying that it was Chicago that had to rebuild trust over the violence in Rice’s case, when it happened in Cleveland.

After he apologized to ABC’s Candace Smith for the mix-up, Bush said that police officials and politicians have a responsibility to develop trust with their communities. Nonetheless, when it came to the cases at hand, Bush was of the opinion that “the process worked.”
