MONTGOMERY, Ala. — In the church here where, 60 years ago, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. inspired residents to boycott the local bus network, Hillary Clinton on Tuesday called for overhauling the criminal justice system, saying there is something “profoundly wrong†when black men are disproportionately stopped and searched by the police, arrested or killed.
She made her remarks to pews packed with civil rights lawyers who descended on the Alabama capital to commemorate the day Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus to a white man, a moment that became pivotal in the fight for civil rights.

The two-day event was one of only a handful of times since Mrs. Clinton announced her candidacy in April that she addressed organizations that were unaffiliated with her campaign and had not endorsed her. She was joined by a lineup of lawyers, elected officials and ministers who have been central in civil rights struggles, past and present.

Hopefully others will follow the link and become wiser.
“It’s time to change our approach and end the era of mass incarceration in America,” Mrs. Clinton said. “And we must do more to address the epidemic of gun violence that is plaguing our country.”
So, if I understand Hillary’s proposal correctly, she wants to quit putting people in jail for shooting each other to put an end to people shooting each other.
Hillary’s right. And by the same reasoning, there is a gross discrepancy between the number of men and the number of women in prison. Since the population is evenly divided between men and women, there should be equality in prison populations. We have to either have a moratorium on sending men to prison, or send a hell of a lot more women. I’d start with Hillary.
It must really be an epiphany when you finally realize adopting the cultural habits of winners makes you a winner and adopting the cultural habits of losers makes you a loser, no matter your sex, color, creed or national origin, eh?
... anything to keep herself out of jail ...
We do need an overhaul of the justice system. That this bitch is not in jail tells me our justice system is completely compromised.
Oh God, warning please before you post something that horrifying again.
Yes, I was wondering what accent or dialect she chose to use this time around.
Oh, please. How about addressing the gun violence in your own city first, Hillary? It seems like your Dindu Nuffin friends are the cause of most of it...
She needs more of an overhaul. Justice can wait.
“In the church, where 60 years ago...”
Hillary has definitely stopped Thinkin’ About Tomorrow...
“there is something profoundly wrong when black men are disproportionately stopped and searched by the police, arrested or killed for commiting crimes at a rate per capita higher than other races....
If you want to make “being black” the issue...
Fascinating how the illegal alien _in chief wants to make illegal immigration legal -— and Hillary wants to change the federal justice system just as she’s the subject of a major federal criminal investigation. it looks like they’re both scared they’ll finally get sent to prison?
The Left is going to keep it up until the police withdraw to the edge of town for major Democrat controlled cities and watch them burn.
if she was Tarred before ...and said so again .... wouldnt that make her a re tarred?
LOL!
I almost posted that—good one, Mikey.
This chronic liar criminal bum hag isn’t in prison. I believe that says that at least some aspects of the criminal justice system need changed.
I’m gonna make some popcorn for that.
I mean hell, what’s the downside, unless you are unfortunate to live where the maggots start the fire?
Love it!
