Listening to him right now on Rachel Maddow. She keeps questioning things he's saying, and he continues to give the standard police excuses.
EXTREMELY disappointing to hear from a member of the Democratic Party. He seems more interested in defending the police than criticizing their actions in the harshest possible terms.

Rachel seemed stunned. She asked him about it twice, wording it different the second time, and still he doubled down on his explanation.

A brainwashed republican toady can't fifth column his way into the Democratic party.
Just like gay republicans exist,so do black republicans. Carson is an example of a republican toady. Toady's can be of any race,it's what they believe,even though it makes no sense to any Dem with a brain in thier head.
On the whole Dems are good people. But a bad person can pretend to be a good person too. Just saying.
I don't like being so cynical
But I put nothing past the evil traitors pushing for the ruin of our democracy.
