Shaun King: Clinton's refusal to release racial injustice plan is disrespectful to victims

Ouch!




King: Hillary Clinton’s refusal to release plan addressing racial injustice in America is disrespectful to victims
http://nydn.us/1iHQkYa

In reality, American police are on track to kill more than 1,100 people by the end of November — last year’s total casualty count.

In spite of this, Clinton has offered no real thoughts on how she will address racial issues and law enforcement or how she will curb the use of force by police officers.

When Atlanta activists interrupted Clinton’s recent speech to a large crowd at an “African American's for Hillary” event, it was primarily because she refuses to release this plan.

When a cross section of activists met with Clinton in October, they pushed her to release a comprehensive plan. I have spoken with senior officials inside her campaign to communicate my desire to see an actual plan. In those conversations I warned that it was a strategic blunder to stonewall, and that activists and leaders would be frustrated until she came forward with a solid plan.

Still, no plan has been released.

That speaks volumes that you see one of the leaders of BLM as your so called "opposition". I need to tweet that shit and have millions see it, hold on a second.

Since you were complaining about the campaign advice coming from the opposition, that means the opposition includes Shaun King.

Including responses from Shaun King.

A plan has specific, detailed proposals. Her plan has lots of "work with" and "encourage", but few specific steps.

Oh, and here, I'll start your reply for you:
But Sanders.........

There is no 'moderate' set of political beliefs, so nobody knows what she believes from one subject to the next. And she usually won't say. Her positions are a mystery.
