Rabbi Reuven Wabshat, Chief Rabbi of Ethiopian Jewry, addressed the case in which a policeman shot a young boy from the community.

"Every time something like this happens, it sets us back. In the past two years, there has been an improvement, but one case is enough to cloud things and cause the conversation to be different and lead to a situation in which things can get out of hand. We should reach zero cases like this," the rabbi said in an interview with Kan Bet."
