Pete Buttigieg faced the raw and unvarnished emotion of his community at a town hall in South Bend on Sunday as the mayor attempted to soothe the pain caused by the recent killing of a black man by a police officer. w/ @DJJudd: https://t.co/If0Ld9K2I4 — PolitiTweet.org

A visibly emotional Pete Buttigieg closed his conversation with reporters in South Bend by saying he held this town hall “because everybody has got to be a part of" responding to these issues. "There is just no running away from it," he said, "not for me.” — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Buttigieg says he hopes people see that “our city is facing this” and “not running away.” — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Buttigieg tells reporters that the city has “done so many things over the years” on police relations and officer involved incidents. “It is not for a lack of attention, it just hasn’t been enough,” he said. “These problems have to get solved in my life time,” he adds. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg after being asked directly about the failure of body cameras: "If anybody is trying to figure out who to hold responsible, the administration bought the technology, hired the officer and wrote the policy. So at the end of the day, I'm responsible." — PolitiTweet.org

This town hall makes very clear that the racial tension in South Bend - in and around the police department - has been present for all eight years Pete Buttigieg has been mayor. Here is what @vyurkevich and I found: https://t.co/JrfZrT56zQ — PolitiTweet.org

New w/ @vyurkevich: The most recent officer involved shooting -- which has South Bend on edge -- underscores persistent tension between the city's African American community and its police department, which has grown less diverse during Buttigieg's tenure https://t.co/RSf9QWwYi5 — PolitiTweet.org
