Don't get why he's getting criticized for this.

well I guess I can understand it, in the sense that he should have pointed out that black people get shot even if they are respectful of the police

that said I've seen a couple of takes that are more along the lines of this:

As a white man, it wasnt his place. Although many Black parents reluctantly give the same advice to their children not because its how it should be but because its how it is right now - that wasnt Bernies place. He could have answered in so many other ways, not that.

but there isn't an elaboration on how he should have answered instead (that I've seen) and he was asked the question so its a bit weird to say its not his place to answer it straightforwardly

But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
