(CNSNews.com) - When asked how he plans to ensure racial equality, Democratic presidential candidate and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley said Monday that he decriminalized marijuana, “banned the box” for those with criminal records seeking state employment, and reduced the number of fatal police-involved shootings.
“I drove down fatal police-involved shootings to three of their four lowest years in Baltimore history, and as governor, I restored voting rights to 52,000 people. I ... decriminalized the possession of marijuana. I banned the box on people who are applying for state employment,” O’Malley said during the Democratic presidential town hall in Des Moines, Iowa on Monday.
An audience member asked, “How are you planning to ensure racial equality when your history in office contradicts your current platform to fight structural racism?”

40 some tax increases...
Lies, Lies and Lies. All he is doing is saying what he thinks the audience wants to hear. Fatal police involved shootings?? That wasn't even an issue when he was mayor or gubner so it's only a recent issue and not in the State of Maryland. However it has always been an issue with thugs shooting and killing cops, but where was he then!!
O'Malley did this? Is he sure he was in Maryland and not Colorado or Oregon?
It sounds like more of a 'dream' list than anything else. O'Malley is at 0% on some of the polls while others show him in single digits. Is he hanging on as some kind of death rattle? Why is he even being given a stage to speak on is a mystery to me.
He raised taxes, raised taxes, and then he raised taxes.
11:58 AM - and then diverted money from bridge tolls and Federal Highway User Funds to pet projects that didn't yield a thing.
A legend in his own mind!
The rest of us are still suffering from what you did to this state Marty! Thank goodness Governor Hogan is repealing some of your inflictions foisted upon us!
he's so in love with himself
somebody needs to set a mirror in front of him
Maybe he could be the State Department representative to some Third World country, so that he could work his magic for their people, too! I'm thinking that Haiti and any one of fifty African nations could use his help.
1:00 PM - just the place that Obama needs to go after he leaves the White House. Kenya comes to mind, for some reason.
And he apologized to a group for saying "all lives matter" instead of "black lives matter". He is a p.o.s.
O'Malley should not even be in the news.
and what about his greatest of all times RAIN tax
He must be smoking allot of the pot he decriminalized to think he did a good job for the citizens of Maryland
What a bunch of crap
Rain tax, flush tax and 38 other increases on fees and taxes.
