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!”

If Pocahonkey wins the nomination, she might take Kamala Harris for her running mate, or "Beto" -- but 1) I don't think she'll win the nomination, and 2), Buttplug will probably wind up in VP nominee, irrespective of the P nominee, or this latest gaffe.

When Harvey Weinstein’s ‘problems’ began to surface, there was a complaint that he only molested white women and therefore, obviously, a racist.
