Sanders: "This video of the arrest of Sandra Bland shows totally outrageous police behavior. No one should be yanked from her car, thrown to the ground, assaulted and arrested for a minor traffic stop. The result is that three days later she is dead in her jail cell. This video highlights once again why we need real police reform. People should not die for a minor traffic infraction. This type of police abuse has become an all-too-common occurrence for people of color and it must stop."

Incidentally, Bernie Sanders - the 70-something year-old white male jewish senator from Vermont, time & time again proves (through actual votes/legislative action/statements) that he is the candidate speaking out and actually doing something about these issues. Ironically, he's being held to a higher (and far more unfair) standard than the black-vote magnet Hillary Clinton.

So my question again is: Why is this the case?
