Bernie Sanders has been extremely vocal about the subject of police brutality and criminal justice reform. Back in late November. Sanders said in statement regarding the death of Laquan McDonald, “All Americans should be sickened by the video of Laquan McDonald’s murder. As a nation we must do more than just echo the phrase Black Lives Matter,”
“Criminal justice reform must be the civil rights issue of the 21st century and the first piece must be putting an end to the killing of African Americans by police officers,” he added.
