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.

Do they drive with their feet?
Sanders has been harshly criticized by many on the left for his perceived lack of concern regarding radical black issues. So give ol’ Bernie a break here. He’s just trying to get a ticket punched.
Yeah, just this morning on the way to church, the black driver in front of me took too long at the light,
I pulled his butt out of his car, and tapped him twice...
Everyone behind me was grateful...
Sanders is gonna BURY himself.
Bernie is about 6 cards short of a full deck......
Old commies get like that..........
In all my years, I have never once witnessed or known a black person who had ever been pulled out of their car, much less shot. Where’s the headlines, Bernie? Guess I missed that between all the black on black shootings every weekend in Chicago and blacks killing whites.
Tell that to the DOJ. This Ferguson BS is going to make them so involved in the day to day operations of police departments, it will make your head swim.
It’s coming and it will be something like this. Don’t follow DOJ mandates, most of which are going to be developed by Black Lives Matters activists, you get NO federal funding, of any type.
Don’t lower your standards to hire the amount of black officer recruits to mirror the population of your town, no federal funding.
It is and will continue to be a nightmare.
Bernie Sanders is the Bizarro universe’s Larry David.
ROFL, what a maroon. There is ZERO evidence to support this crap but Dems and leftist don’t care about facts.
And idiot consultants for the GOPe and others say “don’t say anything mean or the independents will vote for Dems” but a-holes like Sanders and Hillary and say this kind of crap and the independents love it?
Geez, I hate political “conventional wisdom”.
Lunatic
Socialism is racist. You need more jack booted thugs so that you can take people’s stuff.
“As time goes on and his position doesn’t improve,expect to see lots more of this garbage.”
Look for Sanders to offer reparations.
Of course not! Sanders is a Democrat, they get by with saying all kinds of nonsense and are never challenged!
