(CNSNews.com) - Attorney General Bill Barr said Wednesday that it’s a false narrative to think that there is an “epidemic” of police shooting unarmed black men, because white officers shooting “unarmed” black people is a rare occurrence and the narrative that such shootings are based on race is also false.
In an interview with CNN’s “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer,” the attorney general acknowledged that “there appears to be a phenomenon in the country where African-Americans feel that they’re treated when they're stopped by police frequently as suspects before they are treated as citizens.”
