President calls for reforming criminal justice system
http://www.wisconsingazette.com/trending-news/president-calls-for-reforming-criminal-justice-system.htmlPresident Barack Obama is calling for reform to America's criminal justice system after racially-charged controversy over police shootings in Missouri, New York, Milwaukee, Cleveland and elsewhere.
The president says Americans may have different takes on the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in New York. Both were unarmed black men who died after confrontations with white police officers.
But Obama says all can understand a father's fear that his son can't walk home without being harassed. And he says all can understand the concerns of a policeman's wife who can't rest until he comes home.
