South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg was confronted by a group of protesters in his own hometown Friday following the fatal police shooting of a black man by South Bend police early Sunday morning.
Police Sgt. Ryan O’Neill claimed he fired his weapon when Eric Logan, 54, approached him with a knife and refused to drop it after being confronted vandalizing a car parked at an apartment complex. Logan was transported to a hospital, where he later died.
No camera footage or witnesses exist of the incident, which has stirred up racial tensions in the area because the officer is white and Logan is black. Buttigieg canceled several campaign events, including a fish fry he was supposed to attend Friday, to deal with the issue.
During its commentary Friday evening, CNN played footage of protesters, several of whom were holding “Black Lives Matter” signs, confronting the South Bend mayor.
“Did you just ask me if black lives matter?” Buttigieg responded incredulously.
“Yes, we want to hear you say it!” a female protester shouted from the back.
“Of course black lives matter!” the South Bend mayor stressed.
“Then fire your cops!” a male protester shouted.
“Are you a racist?” someone else shouted.
“What matters about a black life to you, Mayor Pete?” asked another female protester. “Answer that!”

Some of his best “friends” are black.
Or does he only pork white rearends.
I’m not asking for your vote,” Buttigieg responded.

Running in the DemocRAT primaries and isn’t after the black vote? This not-ready-for-prime-time idiot makes Roy Moore look like a genius in comparison.
Pistol Pete the absentee mayor has himself a racial situation. He is white and guilty.
Mayor Butthead isn’t down for the struggle apparently.
White cops are supposed to stand down when black folks are committing crimes because they is just helping themselves to the reparations to which they is entitled.
Mayor Pete: “My gay powers appear to be useless against the Negroes”.
I don’t thiMk he is the porker. I thiMk he is the porkee.
Uh oh, problems in Identity Politics paradise.
First Biden, now Butthead - how delightful seeing ‘rats savaged by the racial kabuki that’s been used against conservatives and Republicans for fifty years......
I heard that won’t date black men, he’s even “married” to a white guy - what a friggin racist.
He’s the aquaman of identity politics
There needs to be a Constitutional Amendment or a bill. Anyone that runs for a federal office must resign from their existing position within 90 days.
“stirred up racial tensions in the area because the officer is white and Logan is black.”
Well, since the killing of a black by another black seems to elicit nothing but yawns from other blacks, then it seems to give the lie to the claim of these racial hustlers that black lives really do matter.
Hard to know whether Booty Judge will come out on top, or on the bottom, in this affair.
He is hoping his gayness will carry him through the primary... at least for a vp spot. That is all he and the media can point out as his qualifications.
