Honesty, boldness and trustworthy are some of the reasons Rep. Bamberg decided to change his support to Sanders.
Also because of Sanders' position on single-payer health care which is a critical issue in Bamberg's region.
Justin T. Bamberg was a prominent figure in the effort to take down the Confederate flag from the South Carolina Statehouse. He was also the lawyer for the family of Walter Scott, the police-shooting victim. Mr. Scott, age 50 and unarmed, was shot and killed in April 2015 while running away from North Charleston police officer Michael Slager. Slager was subsequently arrested, indicted, denied bail for months and then released earlier this month once a new trial date was set. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/justin-bamberg-bernie-sanders_us_56a6447be4b076aadcc7366b
