In an obvious ploy for black votes, Hillary Clinton laments the July 2014 death of Eric Garner at the hands of NYPD
“I still can’t get over that Eric Garner, in Staten Island in New York, he died from a chokehold. He was selling loose cigarettes. Was it illegal? Sure. Did he need to die? No.”
Thus spoke Hillary Clinton during Friday’s MSNBC Democratic candidates forum. Earlier in April, Hillary gave a speech during which she said:
“We have to come to terms with some hard truths about race and justice in America. There is something profoundly wrong when African-American men are far more likely to be stopped by the police, charged with crimes and sentenced to longer prison terms than are meted out to their white counterparts.”
What a supreme crock of shit. What a phony bitch! Sixteen months after the death of Eric garner Hillary gets out her crying towel. Sure, Garner did not need to die. And he would not have died if the 300-pounder hadn’t been selling untaxed cigarettes and resisted arrest when the cops responded to complaints by store owners.
And what about those poor blacks that get busted by the cops more often than whites and then get longer prison terms than whites? Another supreme crock of shit.
To begin with there are more whites in prison than blacks, although blacks do make up a disproportionate number of inmates. Why is that? The answer is simple. Blacks commit a disproportionate number of crimes.
And what about those blacks who receive longer sentences than whites? That answer is simple too. In those cases where blacks receive a longer sentence than their white counterparts, they did not receive those longer sentences because they were black. In cases where blacks received longer sentences, it was because pre-sentence investigation reports showed a longer or more serious criminal history than that of their white counterparts.
Hillary Clinton will say anything to get the black vote in next year’s presidential election. Like all politicians she is a liar. But she’s an uber-phony as well. “I still can’t get over that Eric Garner.” Sixteen months later she can’t get over the death of a lawbreaking stranger? Come on, give me a break!

Eric Garner chose his own death. All he had to do was take the summons. No big deal. Instead he chose to fight with the cops. His own criminality, stupidity and poor health killed him, not the cops.
