I watched the whole thing. It was obviously he was trying to refer to the negative atmosphere surrounding black neighborhoods.
This was the build-up to that quote:

Tell you another story, I was with young people active in the Black Lives Matter movement. A young lady comes up to me and she says, you don’t understand what police do in certain black communities. You don’t understand the degree to which we are terrorized, and I’m not just talking about the horrible shootings that we have seen, which have got to end and we’ve got to hold police officers accountable, I’m just talking about every day activities where police officers are bullying people.

Now I'm not saying he wasn't in the wrong (he clearly was with that quote) but it stupid that people like to drag on singular quote without looking at the whole context. Anyone that honestly paid attention to the debate knew what he was trying to say.
We're not the desperate ones.
