Yes, let's USE Eric Garner...

Post by Nightshade »

Remember "I can't breathe?"
I’m troubled by the revelation that you and this campaign actually discussed ‘using’ Eric Garner … Why would you want to ‘use my dad?” Garner tweeted along with a link to emails released by WikiLeaks. “These people will co opt anything to push their agenda. Police violence is not the same as gun violence.

Girl has some issue with the campaign, because a reading of what she's irate about is that Hillary's people were discussing the (at the time current) furor around Garner's killing by police. They were putting together an online video around police shootings and purposely decided NOT to stretch it to mention of Garner, as he wasn't shot. How that becomes 'using' someone in the sense you imply or that Ms Garner implies, is baffling.
