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 …

That’s a good question. We honestly want to know Shaun.
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.

Shaun, you didn’t answer the question. You were asked a straightforward question, and you deflected by answering with question. What more could Obama have done?
-
Right? I’m not arguing with Shaun at all. But I’m very curious to know what Obama really could’ve done for her and her family?
-
Exactly. Obama couldn’t unilaterally prosecute or investigate. I suppose he could have given them money out of his own pocket, but expecting something like that is beyond unreasonable.

It is foolish to expect justice or anything like it from this system without some kind of radical change in the system itself. This system was set up for the success and profit of white folks. Brief periods of advancement for others are allowed and then taken back. So now what?

What could have Obama done? Wasn’t Ferguson police department investigated by Eric Holder?
