I am proud to stand with Eric Garner's mother in endorsing Hillary Clinton

Vinton, Iowa (CNN)Eric Garner's mother, Gwen Carr, endorsed Hillary Clinton on Thursday in an email to campaign supporters, labeling Clinton the "only candidate right now who's talking about how we can be strategic in trying to" address police brutality.

Carr joins a host of mothers whose children were killed in incidents with law enforcement and are part of a broader campaign strategy to solidify African-American voters who are pushing for an end to police brutality.

Garner was killed in 2014 during an altercation with police that was caught on video and shows an officer grabbing the 350-pound man from behind and putting him in a chokehold. "I can't breathe! I can't breathe!" Garner said repeatedly.

Ice Cube-"They have the authority to kill a minority."

Bout time to take it away and ensure they use their authority responsibly!

That you felt disrespected by that. Both sides are getting very sensitive. But here:

1. You post this. Endorsing the quotes and the candidate.
2. I point out a falsehood.
3. You claim you merely made a post (endorsing the falsehood) and that I disrespected you.

That makes no sense. I hope you can see that.
