'There's no question that we have seen an unacceptable incidence for generations of unarmed Black men being killed. Nobody can deny that.'
Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris said Sunday that when it comes to racial disparities in the criminal justice system, President Donald Trump and Attorney General William Barr are"spending full-time in a different reality."
"There's no question that we have seen an unacceptable incidence for generations of unarmed Black men being killed. Nobody can deny that," Harris said.AG Barr rejects claims of an 'epidemic' of police shootings of unarmed Black suspects During his visit to Kenosha last week, Trump disparaged the idea that Blake's shooting or other recent incidents of police killing or injuring Black Americans were rooted in systemic racism.
When asked Sunday if charges were warranted in the death of Daniel Prude, a Black man who died in Marchin Rochester, New York, Harris said she was"going to give the benefit of the doubt to the prosecutors who are involved in the case." When asked about the apparent change in opinion, Harris indicated she would like to see more police officers on the streets.
