Story highlights Jeb Bush commented on decision not to indict police in Tamir Rice's killing

Not "every grand jury is racist," the ex-Florida governor said

Lexington, South Carolina (CNN) GOP presidential hopeful Jeb Bush, weighing in on the decision not to indict police officers in last year's shooting of Tamir Rice, said a grand jury has made a decision and that "the process worked."

"If there is a grand jury that looks at all the facts and doesn't indict maybe there's reasons for that," he told reporters after a town hall in Lexington, South Carolina. "I don't believe that every grand jury is racist."

The former Florida governor initially confused the case with another high profile police shooting case in Chicago when he was asked about Rice.

"I think that Chicago's got a lot of work to do to rebuild trust. The level of violence is abhorrent," he said, when asked about the grand jury decision out of Cleveland earlier this week.

The reporter corrected Bush, saying, the shooting of Rice "happened in Cleveland."
