Hillary Clinton Breaks Her Silence On Ferguson ::posted Fri, 29 Aug 2014 12:30:00 +0000:: ift.tt/1lkBA1Q Im not sure what took her so long, but Hillary has finally spoken out about the events in Ferguson over the past three weeks. CNN: Watching the recent funeral for Michael Brown as a mother, as a human being, my heart just broke for his family because losing a child is every parents greatest fear and an unimaginable loss, Clinton said. But I also grieve for that community and many like it across our country. Behind the dramatic terrible pictures on television are deep challenges that will be with them and with us long after the cameras move on. [...] This is what happens when the bonds of trust and respect that hold any community together fray, Clinton said at the event in San Francisco. Nobody wants to see our streets look like a war zone, not in America. We are better than that. [...] Clinton also applauded President Barack Obama for his response to Ferguson, which included a statement on the killing and the dispatching of Attorney General Eric Holder to the suburb. We can do better, Clinton said. We cannot ignore the inequities that persist in our justice system. Inequities that undermine our most deeply held values of fairness and equality. read more [Forwarded by the MyLeftBlogosphere news engine. Link to original post below:]
