Remove bias from sentencing: #tellusatoday

We asked followers on Twitter what they thought of President Obama commuting the sentences of eight people imprisoned on crack cocaine charges. Comments edited for clarity and grammar:

Wait, he'll commute sentences for crack cocaine, but can't take a strong stance on weed? Pathetic.

—@maletto2

I think it's good. The crime doesn't fit the time/punishment. Finally.

—@E_oneandonly

This was the right move. But he has to do more to free prisoners given unfair sentences because of their skin color.

—@JeffOstach

Good point about people of color. This also goes for those who are poor. They also get an unfair sentence in many cases.
