"Mayor Pete" Buttjudge Lambasted at Town Hall Over Being AWOL from His Job During a Police Shooting Controversy

It's a white-cop-shoots-a-black-suspect controversy, and the suspect allegedly threw a knife at the cop, and the cop shot him dead.

But the cop's body-camera wasn't on, so there are, naturally, Concerns.

Where's Mayor Pete to reassure his community?

Oh right, he's out on the campaign trail accusing Mike Pence of giving him secret anti-gay telepathic dog-whistles on the many times they had working lunches together.

Buttigieg has come under scrutiny for the shooting as the South Bend Police have not hired as many non-white officers as some say they should. O'Neill was white and Logan was black, which only adds to the tensions over this incident in South Bend and the national debate about policing in minority communities.

"We have tried but not succeeded to increase diversity in the police department and we need help," Buttigieg said the town hall on Sunday.

South Bend residents who showed up at the meeting expressed anger at Buttigieg and the South Bend Police. Crime has been a long-term problem in South Bend, and this incident highlights Buttigieg's failure to address the problem during his seven years as mayor.

During the town hall, members of the community ridiculed Buttigieg and the police chief for their alleged inability to eliminate the police force of racists.

You probably didn't hear that a top-tier Democrat candidate was being raked over the coals for racial insensitivity and failing to reduce crime from CNN or any of the other news networks.

I wonder why.

Oh wait, no I don't: It's because the media doesn't want anyone to know that Democrats are themselves accused of racism by racial activists. They want to hide this, to advance the narrative that only Republicans are so accused, because only Republicans are in fact racist.

Reporting on this story would force the media to acknowledge either that some Democrats are racist, or that sometimes racial activists make accusations based on very little except their own racial suspicions and racial animus.

Either way, it blunts the Democrats' never-ending attack on Republicans as racist, and the media won't have that.

Like their clickbait directors at Google, they have an election to rig, and they can't permit another Trump situation to happen.
