The fact that the police chief was racist doesn't make him wrong. He can be both racist and correct that looting generally leads to shooting.

It appears as though you are deliberately misinterpreting this statement to confirm your biases.
This statement is obviously intended to be interpreted as “the state will shoot looters (and possibly other protesters) when there is looting during a political protest”. If you genuinely don’t see it this way after considering all of contextual history of racial violence and injustice, it must benefit you to have your head in the sand

I don’t think there needs to be anything deliberate about it.
My guess is that there is a huge set of people who doesn’t know the origin, and see the statement as more of a statement of fact.
