Sanders: Too Often, Unarmed Black People Dragged from Cars and Shot
National Review ^ | 08/30/2015 | Jim Geraghty Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/423281/sanders-too-often-unarmed-bl

Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Jake Tapper, Vermont senator Bernie Sanders told the host that “unarmed black people” getting ”dragged out of cars” or getting shot “is happening too often.”

Sanders said this after Tapper showed him video of Ron Hickman, the sheriff of Harris County, Texas, responding to the murder of a deputy sheriff at a gas station, declaring, “This rhetoric has gotten out of control.  We have heard black lives matter, all lives matter.  Well, cops’ lives matter, too.  So why don’t we just drop the qualifier and just say lives matter and take that to the bank?”

TAPPER: Has the rhetoric gotten too hot?

SANDERS: Well, this is what I think. Obviously, it is an outrage that this police officer was basically assassinated. Other police officers have been killed. I worked with police officers when I was mayor of the city of Burlington. They have a very, very difficult job. And we need to make sure that we have the best-trained, best-paid police departments in the world. And, as president, I would help bring that about, community policing and so forth.

Well, the Left is trying as hard as possible to start a race war, but they won’t get one if the Whites won’t fight back and, so far, there is no indication that they will.

When Bernie was Mayor of Burlington, Vermont’s black population was 0.3%. I doubt if he even saw a black person at that time.

That would be all over the news, funny...I haven’t heard nor have I viewed it. It’s bunk, this is just more panderbears.

I’m not saying this never happens (and to white folk, too)but it’s not going on all over the place, not as this panderbear makes it seem.

Yes, this is happening too often. It’s causing traffic jams in L.A. Every other car is pulled over, the driver, if black, is pulled out and shot, and then we are stuck in traffic for hours while they have these empty cars removed. There would be no traffic if this policy were changed.

We should just quit reporting all black crime and it will feel like we have no problem.
