"We in a society now where there’s just a lot of anger and rage and people have to understand a moment of rage can put you in a lifetime of cage," Hardwick said.
"You got to understand, that moment of rage and a moment of conflict, you got to think consequence," Hardwick said.
"How about some deescalation, some conflict resolution," Hardwick said.
"Three people died. I am praying for this family. I’m praying for this city," Hardwick said.
