Loved the speech. I saw the whole speech and Bernie needs to clean up the first part on his economics platform but this part was incredible. The first part had too many statistics and I don't think the crowd was engaged. Statistics are fine but I'd rather see fewer statistics and maybe a life story of a struggle that he had to overcome or how the system screwed him. Other than that Bernie is going to get the Black vote.

we need a reform to make sure african americans get jobs, i mean 13% of the population are the most unemployed people, whats up wit that. Anybody got a link to where he speaks on these issues.

if i could ask bernie a question related to police reform, i'd ask his opinion on handcuffing. We shouldn't have to instantly go to handcuffing a person that's under arrest? I feel an officer should inform a person that they are under arrest, and that person should have the chance to come peacefully. Weight sentencing heavily on that. Use the money that we use to militarize police to putting bulletproof casing in the backseat where the suspect is in all cop cars.

Why did you vote for the 94 crime bill? Why did you not vote for comprehensive immigration in 2007? Practice what you preach...
