What they're saying about MO'M +criminal justice reform:
Martin O'Malley Just Unveiled His Sweeping Plan for Criminal Justice Reform.
Democratic presidential hopeful Martin O'Malley unveiled Friday a wide-ranging collection of policy proposals calling for comprehensive reform of the U.S. criminal justice system.
From less aggressive policing to smoother prisoner re-entry into society, the ideas presented in his policy paper constitute a pitch for a wholly more progressive paradigm for crime and punishment in the United States.
Invoking the campaign talking point "there is no such thing as a spare American," the former Maryland governor's proposal describes how "for too long our justice system has reinforced our country's cruel history of racism and economic inequality." O'Malley argues that making amends for this history requires an extensive reappraisal of norms in criminal law and policy.

National Urban League: Martin O'Malley
Democrat Martin O'Malley, the former Maryland governor and Baltimore mayor, tried to address criminal-justice reform two weeks ago to the liberal Netroots Nation conference. But he effectively got heckled off stage by "Black lives matter" protesters -- and later had to apologize for responding to them that "All lives matter." Needless to say, he was unable to make his points that day.
So he made them Friday to the National Urban League's annual conference in Fort Lauderdale, where he was allowed to get through his speech and was met with applause, though it was not particularly warm. And he made sure the group knew he had learned his lesson:
As mayor, he said, "Every year we buried 300 young black men who died violent deaths on our streets -- and black lives matter." There was tepid clapping.
