It certainly would be nice if politicians took a stronger stand on the every day police brutality and killing of American citizens we are exposed to every day. Did Hillary and Obama speak out on the brutality that Occupy Wall Street protesters suffered? When leaders, such as Hillary and Obama, support killing innocent people in wars of choice... ....ignore growing numbers of Americans who are being killed by police officers.... It seems like speaking out on random shooters is just a show, time to cause a another big distraction/fight over taking our guns... This is nothing more than blatant hypocrisy, when our leaders are setting horrible examples, and holding no one accountable.

Exploiting this tragedy to make some point about police killings?

I'll have you know that Rev. Pinckney led the faith-based response to the recent killing of Walter Scott by Charleston-area police. So there.

Notice how this person dismisses a racist hate crime as a "random shooting"
