Manassas police chief clarifies statement on city rioters: “We were not chased”

A week after Manassas City Police Chief Douglas Keen had told Manassas City Council that he was chased by 200 protestors during a riot on Sunday, May 31, he's clarified his earlier statement.

ā€œSo I said chased, I own those words, I said ā€˜em. Retreated and moving back would be a better description. We were not chased down the street, being chased by a bully with rocks being thrown at us. We were pushed backwards and continued to move into Battery Heights,ā€ Keen said during a meeting of the Manassas City Coucnil on Monday, June 8.
