Police Chief Bill Scott stated, "There is nothing that I saw in this video that officers or anybody else involved did anything other than what they were asked to do..." This reflects his conclusion after reviewing body-worn camera footage regarding the struggle between the hot dog vendor and police.
Scott described the incident as a "struggle over control of the cart" rather than an assault, illustrating his view that while the situation was tense, it did not constitute misconduct from the officers involved.
In addressing the public outcry over the incident, Scott mentioned that videos circulating online "does not tell the story," implying that the complete context provided by body-worn camera footage could clarify misunderstanding about the confrontation.
Ana Luisa Casimer Julca, the vendor involved, asserts, "I did not assault anyone," countering the police narrative that framed her actions as obstruction and assault during the confrontation about her cart.
