As a Councilman in #SouthBend, I know why @PeteButtigieg looked like a deer in headlights last night when talking about systemic racism in the South Bend Police. He tolerated it, he perpetuated it, and last night he lied to millions of Americans about it.

@LinseyDavis: "Mayor Buttigieg, under your leadership as Mayor, a Black resident in South Bend, Indiana was four times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than a white resident." Pete: "The overall rate was lower than national" Davis: "No, there was an increase."76 replies 1,889 retweets 7,729 likesShow this thread -

@LinseyDavis: "The year before you were in office, it was lower. Once you became in office in 2012, that number went up. In 2018, the last number year that we have a record for, that number was still up." That is true true true. Pete was trying to deceive and whitewash.38 replies 1,432 retweets 6,500 likesShow this thread -

@akela_lacy and@ryangrim have the receipts. Under Mayo Pete, 805 Black arrests for marijuana, just 449 White arrests. We're 26.3% Black, 52.8% White. Do the math. That's a 4 to 1 rate. https://theintercept.com/2019/11/26/pete-buttigieg-south-bend-marijuana-arrests …#MayorPeteCheats167 replies 2,818 retweets 8,217 likesShow this thread -

Pete told
@LinseyDavis#SouthBend is better than the nation. But "Disparity in South Bend under Buttigieg, in fact, is worse than in the rest of the country, or even the rest of Indiana." Meaning, Pete: THIS IS NOT NORMAL. YOUR RACISM IS NOT NORMAL.https://theintercept.com/2019/11/26/pete-buttigieg-south-bend-marijuana-arrests/ …47 replies 1,711 retweets 6,136 likesShow this thread -

All of this is in addition to the wide-ranging civil rights lawsuit into systemic racism in South Bend under Pete -- which will result in new information going public all year in 2020. This is a ticking time bomb for Pete and would be a gift to Trump.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/family-eric-logan-lawsuit-officer-south-bend_n_5d142eede4b0e45560375280 …

Replying to @iamhenrydavisjr
I am a Trump supporter because he is absolutely NOT a racist. He’s very much an opportunity for all kind of guy. Listen to his speeches & not the Leftist spin.
