That's a nice pick up!
I don't agree with her sentiments but this is a snag for Hillary.
Eric Garner's mother endorses Hillary Clinton
http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/21/politics/eric-garner-mother-endorses-hillary-clinton/
Vinton, Iowa (CNN)Eric Garner's mother, Gwen Carr, endorsed Hillary Clinton on Thursday in an email to campaign supporters, labeling Clinton the "only candidate right now who's talking about how we can be strategic in trying to" address police brutality.
Carr joins a host of mothers whose children were killed in incidents with law enforcement and are part of a broader campaign strategy to solidify African-American voters who are pushing for an end to police brutality.
Garner was killed in 2014 during an altercation with police that was caught on video and shows an officer grabbing the 350-pound man from behind and putting him in a chokehold. "I can't breathe! I can't breathe!" Garner said repeatedly.

(8,352 posts)3. The Clinton machine is a marketing dream extraordinaire.
She is so late to the table on racial justice and criminal reform given the policies she supported with her husband in the 1990's and still supports now like the continued criminalization of marijuana. .

Sanders's plans --

I find Sanders plans to be the most thorough and complete. Clinton doesn't even touch on economic justice.
I find it sad that so many can't see the real differences between the two.
