(20,709 posts)But you didn't answer my question. After watching them all, who comes across as more dedicated to reforming the criminal justice system and specifically the racial biases that exist in it?
Yes, after saying that this was a state and local issue, Bernie did call for investigations, and body cameras, and community policing. In contrast, Clinton said that there was something "profoundly wrong" with the criminal justice system and that it is "undeniable" that black people are treated unfairly by it.
I agree that economic and social justice are intertwined, but there is a limit to this. When black people are being murdered by police across the country, and incarcerated for minor drug crimes that white people get slaps on the wrists for, the problem is more than just income inequality.
