President Obama and Us Attorney General Holder: Secure Justice for Eric Garner
A grand jury has refused to indict Officer Daniel Pantaleo, who put a chokehold on Eric Garner for allegedly selling non-taxed cigarettes last July. In light of so many injustices incurred by white police against black people, I implore you, President Obama and US Attorney General Holder to do everything in your power to secure justice for Eric Garner. Strong steps need to be taken to change the laws, system and the horrific outcomes that have plagued our nation for far too long. What you propose at whitehouse.gov is NOT enough.
Why is this important?
The whole nation is affected and has been affected for far too long by these inhumane policies and behaviors by police toward men and women of color. If I don't speak up, I am guilty too.
