    Shaun King Retweeted officialERICA GARNER

    Painful truth. So many families affected by police violence have told me this exact same thing. Many said they were specifically told by Obama, Lynch, or Holder that they’d get justice or at least make sure the case didn’t carry over to Trump. None got any type of justice.https://twitter.com/es_snipes/status/886969656249942018 …

        Here is my question. What could Obama have done, I mean seriously done, to help this family?

        1. How aware are you of the Justice Dept investigations into police brutality? 2. What statements are you aware of from Obama on the Garner case?

        I'm not aware of any statements from Obama about Garner personally, but about police brutality as a whole. I'm aware of him trying to bring dialogue between police and communities who suffer from police violence. I'm unaware of the Justice department doing much at all.

        It's pretty ridiculous and childish to think that the Obama administration would address every issue of police violence...just like it's silly tonepect him to pardon every unfair sentence, even though he already broke records in that area.

        It's funny how we expected President Obama to walk on water and part the Red Sea yes he was the president but it was so much he could not do that he wanted to do .YOU knew what he was fighting against let's not talk about what Obama couldn't do

        Obama job was not erase 400 years of racism. Some of the issues we have as black are that we keep how Simone should save us instead how about doing the right thing.

        lol it’s so funny to me when people automatically blame the president of the United States for something that happens locally... you go vote for your city reps/mayors/district judges if you want immediate change .. don’t blame on potus bc has half black
