Hillary Clinton Unveils Criminal Justice Platform Amid Protest By Black Lives

The disruption was the first time that Black Lives Matter protesters have interrupted a Clinton event since she announced her bid for the presidency, though they’ve protested other Democrats’ campaign events, reported the New York Daily News.

Marie said she hoped to see Clinton introduce legislation around issues including criminalizing racial profiling and mandating cultural competency training for police officers around the country.

She promised to back legislation to ban federal, state and local law enforcement from relying on ethnicity when initiating routine investigations, and change sentencing rules so crack and powder cocaine convictions are treated the same.

Clinton will speak to a group of black ministers and later at a historically black college. Both candidates have called for ending mass incarceration and reforming the criminal justice system in the United States, an issue that has become a rallying cry for younger black activists who will play a key role in choosing a nominee.

In it, reporters Michael D. Shear and Michael S. Schmidt demonstrated that President Obama undoubtedly did not tell the truth in his interview with CBS News’s Steve Kroft in a 60 Minutes episode which aired on October 11.

Rep. John Lewis, a civil rights icon, also attempted to quell the student protest. “We will wait no more”.

And she embraced the movement to “ban the box”, or prevent the federal government and contractors from asking about criminal history during initial job applications.

While Clinton’s private email address was unknown to much of official Washington, at least one Hollywood celebrity wrote to her there.

Roughly half of Clinton’s 30,000 work-related emails are now public, and the State Department’s effort to release the rest will linger into next year. But our president today is Barack Hussein Obama … and he is black … and same-sex marriage is now part of America … and legalized recreational weed is dawning, even in our nation’s capital … and Black Lives Matter … and a socialist could be president. “She nevertheless got up the next morning and talked to the American people about a videotape and stood over the bodies of the fallen and talked about a videotape again”.

The Democratic presidential contender was giving a speech on Friday when the protesters interrupted her by chanting “black lives matter”.

But there’s also a few bad blood lingering between Obama and Clinton stemming from a comment by Mr. Clinton during the 2008 campaign that Obama’s decisive victory over Ms. Clinton in South Carolina that year was as unimportant as Jesse Jackson taking the state in the 1984 primary.

She used the NAACP banquet Friday to praise Charleston residents for their “grace and resilience” after the June massacre in which a white gunman killed the pastor and eight others at a historic black church.

The note was sent via email on April 16, 2012, to Clinton’s personal email.

When she testified before the House Select Committee on Benghazi last week, Clinton faced several questions about emails she had received from Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime political adviser to her and her husband.
