'More white people!': Trump lashes out at reporter who asks about Black Americans killed by police

President Donald Trump lashed out at CBS reporter Catherine Herridge in a new interview released Tuesday when she asked about police killings of Black Americans.

"You said George Floyd's death was a terrible thing," she said.

"Terrible," he agreed.

"Why are African-Americans still dying at the hands of law enforcement in this country?" she asked.

"So are white people," Trump said. "So are white people! What a terrible question to ask. So are white people. More white people, by the way. More white people!"

It's true that white people are killed in greater numbers by police, according to the statistics available, because there are many more white people in the United States than any other racial group. But the data consistently shows that black people are disproportionately killed by the police and targeted by law enforcement in other ways. Black Lives Matter groups and other advocates have long argued that enacting the reforms they call for would benefit all Americans by reducing police violence.
