→2020 Presidential campaign
Buttigieg left off the campaign trail to deal with a police shooting. Increased violence then occurred after he held a contentious town hall meeting to address the shooting. Police first were called to a mass shooting where ten people were injured, and one was killed. After the shooting, so many people showed up at South Bend's Memorial Hospital to check on the injured that the hospital went on lock down. Police were called in to manage the crowd. At the same time police responded to five other shootings, including one, where a witness said the shooter was targeting police. City police had to call in County police for assistance.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/south-bend-police-call-county-for-backup-after-increased-violence/</ref>

In a scripted [[Iowa]] event to undo the damage of Buttigieg's race problems, a man shouted out, {{quotebox|"Just tell the black people of South Bend to stop committing crime and doing drugs”}} to which Buttigieg recited the canned response, {{quotebox|“The fact that a black person is four times as likely as a white person to be incarcerated for the exact same crime is evidence of systemic racism. Racism makes it harder for good police officers to do their job too.”}}
