The police force in Mayor Pete’s hometown isn’t black enough. That is what Mayor Pete thinks.
Moderator and famous MSNBC conspiracy theorist Rachel Maddow asked Pete Buttigieg, son of a famous Commie professor, why blacks comprise only six percent of the South Bend Police Department in a city where they make up 26 percent of the population. The mayor said he failed to meet racial quotas [the left so loves].
“I couldn’t get it done,” he said. “My community is in anguish right now because of an officer-involved shooting, a black man, Eric Logan, killed by a white officer. And I’m not allowed to take sides until the investigation comes back. The officer said he was attacked with a knife, but he didn’t have his body camera on. It’s a mess. And we’re hurting.”
Nothing like letting the officer hang out there, right Pete?
The shooting appears justified but the out of control ‘victims’ of the grievance industry are demanding revenge.
Pete was overseas during wartime but he must have left his courage over there because he sure didn’t give a courageous answer.
“And I could walk you through all of the things that we have done as a community, all of the steps that we took, from bias training to de-escalation, but it didn’t save the life of Eric Logan,” he continued Thursday, suggesting that Logan’s death was somehow unjustified.
HE CALLED THE DEPARTMENT RACIST
“And when I look into his mother’s eyes, I have to face the fact that nothing that I say will bring him back. This is an issue that is facing our community and so many communities around the country. And until we move policing out from the shadow of systemic racism, whatever this particular incident teaches us, we will be left with the bigger problem of the fact that there is a wall of mistrust put up one racist act at a time, not just from what’s happened in the past, but from what’s happening around the country in the present. It threatens the well-being of every community.”

“And I am determined to bring about a day when a white person driving a vehicle and a black person driving a vehicle, when they see a police officer approaching, feels the exact same thing,” he concluded.
With the police targeted constantly and the leftists encouraging it, police are dying all too often. They are out there, risking their lives, to protect people. Are there some bad apples? Sure. What job doesn’t have some bad actors?
Mayor Pete is absolutely despicable. He wormed his way out of public attacks aimed at him by throwing the police under the bus. He did it at a time when they are being executed. What a terrible little man.
Question: “The police force in South Bend is now 6% black in a city that is 26% black. Why has that not improved over your two terms as mayor?”

Communist candidate Bill de Blasio did something similar because, in general, the hard-left does not like law enforcement or the military.
