Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina on Monday said people were relieved that six policemen were charged in connection to the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray.
Fiorina’s comments came during a conference call with reporters a few hours after she formally jumped into the 2016 Republican primary for president.
On Friday, during a week in which Baltimore saw rioting, Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby said she’d filed manslaughter, murder, and assault charges against six police officers who arrested Gray.
“I think everyone was relieved to see the six policemen charged in Baltimore,” Fiorina said.
In order to prevent repeat arrests like Gray’s, Fiorina said that police officers and vehicles should have cameras.
“In terms of immediate policy prescriptions, it’s clear that all police officers and all vehicles used to convey prisoners need to be equipped with cameras,” Fiorina said.
Last week, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton laid out a criminal justice reform plan where she also said police departments all over the country should be equipped with body cameras.
“That will improve transparency and accountability, it will help good people on both sides of the lens,” Clinton said.
“I think everyone was relieved to see the six policemen charged in Baltimore”
If by “everyone” you mean “everyone except the racist GOP/Teatroll base,” then yeah, sure, “everyone.” Meanwhile, back in conservative Trallilalalalaland, they’re a hair’s breadth from calling for the arrest of all these “thugs” absentee fathers.
Well, she’s off to an utterly fantastic start, siding with the black folks over the cops.
I mean even for a GOP’er, is she really that stupid?
She just lost the nomination
This will go down in history as the first presidential campaign that ended the day it began. Geez Carly, you are a REPUBLICAN! You are not allowed to think, even for a second, that a cop could be guilty of anything, especially the death of a thug thuggity thug thug.
She even specified six officers. Had she just said “officers,” the baggers would have thought she was only referring to the two black ones.
