NY Times Op-Ed: On Baltimore, Hillary Clinton is Half Right

Give Hillary Clinton credit for stepping up, in a speech at Columbia University on Wednesday, to the rioting in Baltimore and the confounding American problems of poverty and violence, racial injustice and criminal policing.

Give her credit for naming the black men whose violent deaths have underlain a national outpouring of frustration and rage: Walter Scott, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin and, now in Baltimore, Freddie Gray.

But let’s wait and see how she does, as the most prominent Democratic presidential candidate, in pushing these issues to the forefront of the campaign, and pushing the country closer to solutions.

How will DU handle that given that corporations are the big bad boogie man... until they close down or leave the county of course.
