The mothers of Trayvon Martin, Sandra Bland and Eric Garner were set to join Hillary Clinton at a South Carolina town hall on Tuesday as she jockeyed with rival Bernie Sanders for African-American voters.
The issue of racism and the treatment of minorities at the hands of the justice system have been major themes of the Democratic campaign. The women appearing with Clinton — who have lost children in brushes with police or to violence — were due to make the case that the former secretary of state would take on the gun lobby, a campaign official told NBC News.
Bernie's political expediency re: gun laws will continue to haunt him. These women don't care that he comes from a rural state with lots of gun owners owners and needed NRA support to win his state elections. They care about their lost children.

I have a feeling that they did not care much about them when they were alive. Probably never spent time with them or asked them how their day was.

Eric Garner's daughter has endorsed Sanders. I guess she also cares about her lost father.
Why not just call them 'thugs' and be done with it?
How do you get "thugs" from sheep?
A person's inference says a lot about their true thoughts.
Anyway, "taking on the gun lobby" has nothing to do with over-policing, militarization of police and police brutality-what Bernie is talking about.
Eric Garner was strangled to death by the NYPD-no gun involved. Hillary is deathly afraid of speaking on the real issues of police brutality, the militarization of the police and the horrible war on "drugs", and instead seeks to appease the ignorant with "gun control".
That or some serious cash "donations" were made...you know, the Clinton way.
