HRC has an anti-minority record in general. She was for mass incarceration/tough on crime/three strikes and the war on drugs to appeal to white voters against scary black people; she is on video as being against immigration and "illegals." Her 2008 campaign reached unknown heights for racist dog whistles. So to attack Sanders on this is ridiculous frankly because it just brings hers out.

And you will notice that the most strident screamers about black men being shot! are not themselves of swarthy hue. They are using it as a campaign strategy which is even more insulting. And they will scream down any PoC who disagrees with them too. It's a great campaign strategy and I hope the McCaskills keep it up.
