It seems that South Bend’s police department has a big problem. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. MORE TYT: Read more here:
"The South Bend sergeant who shot and killed a black suspect over the weekend had a history of allegations of racist language, court documents show. One former South Bend officer also told The Young Turks about witnessing the sergeant’s questionable use of force against black people in the past.
Sgt. Ryan O’Neill was identified Monday as the South Bend Police Department (SBPD) officer who shot Eric J. Logan early Sunday morning.
County Prosecutor Ken Cotter said O’Neil told investigators he was responding to a report of possible car break-ins, spotted Logan in a car, questioned him, and fired two shots when Logan approached him with a knife. Cotter said that because O’Neill did not manually activate his body camera, there was no video of the shooting.
O’Neil was promoted to sergeant in 2015 by SBPD Chief Scott Ruszkowski, who was appointed by Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Ruszkowski testified in 2017 that O’Neil was promoted despite internal reports about alleged racist rhetoric by O’Neil."
