The White House quickly invoked ‘police violence’ and racism when commenting on the Ohio police shooting of an armed black teen.

“The killing of 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant by the Columbus police is tragic,” Psaki said Wednesday. “She was a child. We’re thinking of her friends and family and the communities that are hurting and grieving her loss.”
Ignoring that video appears to show Bryant in the act of attempting to stab another black child when she was shot, Psaki pressed on by attacking police officers.
“We know that police violence disproportionately impacts black and Latino people in communities and that black women and girls, like black men and boys, experience higher rates of police violence,” she claimed. “We also know that there are particular vulnerabilities that children in foster care, like Ma’Khia, face.”
“And her death came … just as America was hopeful of a step forward after the traumatic and exhausting trial of Derek Chauvin and the verdict that was reached.
“So our focus is on working to address systemic racism and implicit bias head on and, of course, to passing laws and legislation that will put much-needed reforms into place at police departments around the country.”
Beyond belief.
Pandering at its absolute worst.
