At a New York fundraiser for her presidential campaign, Hillary Rodham Clinton told about 150 donors: "Baltimore is burning."

"It is heartbreaking," Clinton said. "The tragic death of another young African-American man. The injuries to police officers. The burning of peoples' homes and small businesses. We have to restore order and security. But then we have to take a hard look as to what we need to do to reform our system."

Clinton said she planned to address the unrest in Baltimore in more detail on Wednesday during a speech at Columbia University.

A mother who was recorded hitting her 16-year-old son after she saw him throwing objects at Baltimore police says when they made eye contact, he knew he was in trouble.

"I'm a no-tolerant mother. Everybody that knows me, know I don't play that," Toya Graham, a single mother of six, told CBS News. "He said, when 'I seen you,' he said, 'ma, my instinct was to run.'"

Graham received wide praise from people on social media and even the Baltimore police commissioner, who said more parents should have taken charge of their children after the riots started.

“I’m a no-tolerant mother.”

Who is SINGLE with SIX KIDS! All with the same Baby Daddy? Highly doubtful.

This is probably the first and ONLY time she cracked down on any of her illegitimate b*stards...and it just happened to get caught on tape? She was dressed to the nines, as well.

I ain’t buying what she’s sellin’ with her 15 Minutes of Fame. Nope.

Plus, she should have her mouth washed out with soap.

Why is it that nobody is raising the most obvious issue here...that boy that died would not have died at the hands of the police if he had been obeying the law!!! They would have had no reason to arrest him and rough him up if he wasn’t breaking the law! Yet nobody else seems to be seeing this obvious detail of this whole issue!
