On the latest episode of "The Rubin Report," BlazeTV host Dave Rubin talked about White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki's comments about the police-involved shooting of Ma'Khia Bryant in Columbus, Ohio.
Despite bodycam footage showing that the 16 year old was about to stab another person when the police officer shot her, Psaki blamed "systemic racism and implicit bias" before promising more "laws and legislation" for police departments around the country.
"The killing of 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant by the Columbus Police is tragic. She was a child," Psaki said during a press briefing. "We're thinking of her friends and family and the communities that are hurting and grieving her loss.
"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. 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," she added.
