Potential Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton said on Thursday she was pleased the U.S. Department of Justice was investigating the recent deaths of unarmed black men in incidents with police.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said on Wednesday the Department of Justice would launch a civil rights investigation into the chokehold death of Eric Garner in the New York City borough of Staten Island in July.

There is also a federal probe into the fatal shooting of Michael Brown by a white policeman in Ferguson, Missouri, in August. Grand juries in both cases decided not to indict the officers involved, sparking protests.

"Our hearts are breaking, and we are asking ourselves: 'Aren’t these our sons, aren’t these our brothers?'" Clinton told the Massachusetts Conference for Women in Boston.

Bottom line, the officer did not use a ‘choke hold’. The method he used was taught in the academy.

“During his testimony before the grand jury, Pantaleo denied using a chokehold on Garner, saying he applied “a takedown move as he was taught in the [Police] Academy,” London said.”

“He testified in the grand jury that he utilized the techniques that he was trained with in the police academy,” Pantaleo’s attorney, Stuart London, told CBS2’s Kramer. “He was attempting to do a take-down move, which he was taught in the academy. He never intended to apply any force to the individual’s neck, and any contact with the neck was incidental.”

If she likes “federal probes” so much, why didn’t she back the “federal probes” into the IRS and Benghazi?

If anything, this hillary hag should be backing probes of her many (and continuing) crimes. This criminal backs a probe of anything...how laughable and pathetic.

We think she cannot get elected but this is bazzaro world and people like Al Sharpton, with all his criminality, are being held in a high esteem, what is to make anyone think it is not possible for Hillary to be elected despite all the facts and truth that make her a horror story?

So many things that seemed impossible are common now.

Empty words and a brain dead electorate.....

News, by definition, is what is different. This is not news, especially for Hillary.

You’re not being fair to Hillary, after all she’s an expert on RACIAL PROFILING since her husband, Governor Bill Clinton, got sued for ordering his Arkansas state troopers to RACIAL PROFILE.

Hillary’s also an expert on VOTER DISENFRANCHISEMENT since her husband also got himself sued while Gov of Arkansas for VOTER DISENFRANCHISEMENT, just didn’t like the way dem Black folks voted so he just overturned the election.

Clintons are experts on keeping folks that don’t look like them in line.

Couldn’t have them uppity black folks driving through their state or voting how they want now could we.

Polls must indicate it is safe for The Beast to waddle in and show support for the anarchists.

Notice how the media keeps Hitlary’s name and face on every story these days? She’s definitely the darling of the media. Personally, I can’t stand the woman and would never vote for her even if she was the only candidate running.

I can also see why “Slick Willie” cheated on her.
