Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) likened Donald Trump’s militarized police forces roaming Democrat-run cities to the “slave patrols” of the antebellum South when white men targeted and arrested escaped slaves.

Crockett made the comment to MSNBC’s Ali Velshi on Sunday.

Velshi began, “I’m trying to figure out, how can people who like Donald Trump, don’t like Donald Trump, understand that he seems to be building a police force that is not subject to the normal rules, that either policing or military should be subject to? It’s it’s sort of a police force that’s lacking accountability.”

“There is no accountability. And it’s going after its American people, right?” Crockett said.
