Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave the most substantive speech of her nascent presidential campaign so far on Wednesday.
In her address at Columbia University, Clinton called for a major overhaul in the US criminal justice system. She repeatedly lambasted "the mass incarceration that we currently practice" and overly punitive, "arbitrary" criminal statutes, which she said result in racial discrimination.
"There is something profoundly wrong when African-American men are still far more likely to be stopped and searched by police, charged with crimes, and sentenced to longer prison terms than are meted out to their white counterparts. There is something wrong when a third of all black men face the prospect of prison during their lifetimes," Clinton said. "We have allowed our criminal justice system to get out of balance and these recent tragedies should galvanize us to come together as a nation to find our balance again."

These supposedly arbitrary and excessively long, disproportionate sentences didn’t seem to keep Freddy Gray behind bars. He only had more than a dozen arrests and charges. He’d have been safer behind bars.
...other than that, it was a great speech.
I bet Hillary would wet her panties if some black men started following her and she didn’t have guards protecting her. If she was an RN who got off work late at night and had several 18 year old black guys walk toward her in the parking lot, I bet she’d look around and start sweating.
I know some Godly, wonderful black men & women. But in the cities, blacks are arrested more because they commit more crimes.
There is an undeniable pattern of clinton crimes too.
Correct - in every single case, race hustlers show up five minutes later demanding their cut.
Uhh, there’s ALSO an UNDENIABLE pattern of Clinton-associated deaths in America!
What say you, Hillary???
The clown Hannity interviewed last night basically suggested that police should quit stopping black men or interfering with them altogether.
That’s funny Hillary, there is also a pattern of orchestrated/planned race riots every time a Clinton runs for president or gets into trouble and needs a diversion.
Uhhhhh, maybe because blacks are committing more crimes?
Hillary as a Big Time Criminal ,sides with Criminals
She’s obviously talking about the pattern of being a bastard right? I mean, that is the CLEAR link.
Shhhhhhh....don't let that get out. Big Media might hear it. The last thing we need is the truth being spread by our nation's fraudcasting networks. Might start a riot by black people.
I think I'd have a coronary if any of the big three fraudcasters actually mentioned the black crime rate.
Hurry, let’s nationalize police so Hillary can control them. /sarcasm
Undeniable pattern??
Freddie Gray’s spine was snapped. I had never heard of that happening in any other case. EVER!
That’s the goal of all this attack on local law enforcement.
Yes, Mena, Arkansas... Fort Marcy Park, Washington DC, Benghazi, Libya...
What difference does it make?
She ain’t no ways tired.
