Bernie Sanders to HBCU student regarding police: “respect what they are doing so that you don’t get shot in the back of the head”

I can only see this being problematic if you don't like the implication that police often shoot black men in the back of the head
Same reason Biden will win the Dem nomination coasting on the Black vote?
op is in here JAQing off about where Bernie was during Elijah Cummings' funeral. they don't care about appearing disingenuous at all
I literally have no idea what your point is here. Not that it matters, because this:
Explains it all pretty succintly. You just have a hate boner for Sanders and are not arguing in good faith.
His answer should have been "I'm dropping out of the presidential race and supporting Amy Klobuchar"
Agreed.
Again, if you're going to ask someone the question, be prepared for them to give you the correct answer. even if it is an old, pasty white guy.
Seemed like the audience didn't disagree.
That is not Marianne Williamson
He outright says that the officers respect is not guaranteed and that they will very easily be racist AF and looking for an excuse to execute you.
The only thing that's problematic here is that an OLD WHITE MAN has more progressive street cred than other Dem candidates. The visceral hatred for Bernie never was and never will be based on anything more than just that.
I don't see anything wrong with his full answer, and to be honest even the shortened quote isn't even that bad. But hey ho, we're in primary season so we have to find something to talk about.
Brash and badly worded, but he wasn't coming from a bad place in what he attempted to say. Some, unaware of his history, could reasonably not take it well. Others, who chomp at the bit to tear him down, will purposefully misinterpret his position
Man, if I thought a police officer was going to shoot me for no reason anyway, I'd be scared shitless to ask if their body camera was on!
Marianne would never endorse Amy. She's a marxist after all, Marianne is.
Seeing your post history, + this post. You're not being genuine. I've seen your type before. You can't help yourself. You'll be gone eventually. So I'm not gonna fall for your shit any further and get caught up in it.. Peace.
I think this is a hard question to answer well, to be honest. My real advice would probably be even more prosaic. Something like "keep your hands on the steering wheel until the cop reaches your window and don't reach for your papers without telling the cop you're about to reach for your papers." That's what I think about when I get pulled over, although I'm not black.
I don't really think, from context, Bernie was trying to say "be respectful," he was trying to say "the cop can kill you no matter what, so you pretty much just need to convince them not to." Just another uneven answer that gives people the opportunity to read it badly or well.

Biden is winning fewer than Hillary was in 2016. The demographic shifted heavily in 92, 04 and 08. Its not an immovable demo and tbe only reason people think that is if their only interaction with and awareness of Dem primaries was 2016.
He's not going to win.
They need *something* to try to reclaim the narrative after multiple progressive women of color endorsed him.
Yep. There is a good to great chance that said officer who pulled you over is a narsissitic sociopath, on the force to make himself or herself feel artificially strong and powerful. Don't give the mothafucka an excuse to demand his authoritaaaay be respected. Black bodies have died for less. If they do some shit, you can get rich (or your family you end up survived by).
Black family truths, 101.
It's nearing 3AM here and I'm genuinely at a loss whether to look at this as sarcasm, trolling, or sheer ignorance. Warren more progressive than Bernie on everything... Alright, man.
The whole statement still sounds bed. The fact is it doesn't matter WHAT you do or how you act. It's all depending on if said cop wants to be a murderer. Period.
Is what he should have said. Or better yet say he is white so he can't answer that question but he will address it as president. But no he says dumb shit and people are going out their way to make it like it was a good answer

Marianne is destined for a cabinet position. Specifically, sifting through the pensieve in one of the cabinets of the oval office
