Hillary: Justice System ‘Out of Balance’

In the first major policy address of her 2016 presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton laid out a series of reforms to improve community-police relations and acknowledged the racial disparities in the criminal-justice system. “We have to come to terms with some hard truths about race and justice in America,” Clinton said at Columbia University in New York. “There is something profoundly wrong when African-American men are still far more likely to be stopped and searched by police, charged with crimes, and sentenced to longer prison terms than are meted out to their white counterparts,” she said. Clinton called for all police departments to recieve body cameras.
