CNN: Attorney General William Barr: ‘I don’t think there are two justice systems’
Attorney General William Barr, in an exclusive interview on CNN, broadly defended the actions of police, saying shootings of Black Americans often weren’t racially motivated and weren’t as common as public demonstrations have made them seem.
Barr’s comments on race and Jacob Blake are just two of the eyebrow-raising moments from the interview.
Attorney General William Barr says he will not talk about the police shooting of Jacob Blake because it’s different from George Floyd’s case because “Floyd was already subdued… and was not armed ”
