Pete Buttigieg left the campaign trail to hold a town hall in South Bend, Ind., in an effort to calm residents after a police-officer-involved shooting that left a black man dead in the city earlier this month

Racial tensions in South Bend, Ind., continue to test the city’s mayor and Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg following a police-officer-involved shooting that left a black man dead in the city earlier this month.

Mr. Buttigieg left the campaign trail on Friday to try to calm residents back home. An outpouring of anger toward the mayor recalled an earlier episode involving the city’s police department in which he was accused of not being sensitive to the concerns of black residents.

Waste of time; Pete Buttigieg, BernieSanders; Cory Booker; the Asian’s guy, the Other Black guy, Julian Castro; Marianne; the Hawaii’s Woman; Kamala Harris; Jay Hensley; BernieSanders has been expired.

African Americans are not very tolerant of sodomizers. Could backfire

So he came back to deal what he's paid to do? Brilliant!

If he gets bent out of shape from one death, he surely can’t be President.

Wow Mayor Pete and Biden both labeled racist this week. Who will be left standing ?

SAFE SPACE WHERE ARE YOU 🙈🙉🙊

ImNotAskingForYourVote ThesePeopleAreStupid EnjoyTheShow TheWorldIsWatching

Lets See Who Side He's On.

Why is it when a white shoots a black we know their races from the headline but when roles are reversed we need to hire a private investigator to get the facts?

Like Pete ever really had a chance.

Such a tough guy

That was a really poorly organized shit show.

He is in a no win situation

Well, if he left to calm them down then he won't be back anytime soon cause there's nothing to be calm about!!!

I wish the press would just stay the hell out of it, they're blowing this up to either ruin him or make him, and it needs to be South Bend's answer. He needs to talk to South Bend to make this huge negative into something forward moving.

*Black man approaching police with a knife after robbing cars. minor point.

spoiler alert: it didn’t go well
