Hillary Clinton backs @TheJusticeDept lawsuit over Ferguson policing practices. Calls it "disappointing" city rejected DOJ-proposed reforms

Hillary Clinton on Justice Department lawsuit against Ferguson, Mo.:

'It is disappointing that the Ferguson authorities have resisted taking the steps necessary to reform their practices, but I am heartened to see President Obama's Justice Department act once again to enforce our constitutional policing laws' -

2. Painless call for action without any skin in the game. Like Flint.

Shameless exploitation.

Here today, gone tomorrow. This sort of shit goes back to the sixties.

6. I know there are folks who want to keep these issues quiet

...I appreciate the support offered.

Wait for your own candidate to respond and scold him like you're scolding Hillary for reaching out.

7. Painless like calling for the resignation of Governor Snyder?

Shameless exploitation.

Here today, gone tomorrow.

5. you're suggestion is offensive

...here's a vital movement in support of black lives appealing for support, and you want to denigrate someone stepping up to provide that support.

It's no better than anyone else who works to silence these voices.

9. offensive and a sentiment shared by many bitter people here.

Do they remember Sanders was uninformed about the police jailing people for tickets there until he was goaded by BLM to learn about it? I do. And saying Mike Brown should have been in school. Ouch.

8. I am glad that the DOJ is suing this racist city

10. everyone need to keep the pressure on

...I'm glad our Democratic campaign is providing support and visibility to this effort.
