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.

With or without resistance?
Hey Bernie — FetGub is not tasked with community policing.
Too often white people just doing their mundane daily routine are just shot....Two this past week alone.
Dafuq you talking about, you senile old rat-bag???!? If ONE example of this happened, it would dominate news headlines for YEARS.
... By other blacks.
What are the numerous examples of unarmed blacks getting dragged out of cars and shot, Bernie. You socialist moron.
He she be demanded to provide a detailed list of these occurrences.
unarmed black people are dragged from their cars and shot- by other black people...
One only has to look at this fossilized socialist crackpot to see the true face of the Democrat Party today.
What decade are these leftist living in? The 1870s?
The old fart is trying to pander to the base.As time goes on and his position doesn’t improve,expect to see lots more of this garbage.
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.
Jake Tapper did not ask him for an example?
You got any proof of that, Barney?
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.
“What decade are these leftist living in? The 1870s?”
I think this idiot was alive back then. Dtinking the blood of children helps liberals..
