Do not think I am insensitive to the violence and the deaths of our young people (white, black, brown) and those that have been in the media. I'd like to hear your thoughts in a mature manner with this thread.
I am curious to your thoughts on the subject. After watching the video it almost seemed like the activists were attacking Bernie Sanders (watch the entire video), and he is an extremely liberal candidate - I thought Bernie did the best thing he could have done in the situation. What are your thoughts?

This wasn't a representation of #BlackLivesMatter movement, it was a glimpse at what that movement has become. While at first their movement wanted to promote Civil Rights, and a fair agenda. They have gone from wanting "Fair Treatment" to wanting "Special Treatment". The movement is hijacked by more radical activists who are not looking out for the good of everyone, they are there looking out for themselves to make sure they get media attention by bullying those who they deem racist. I went through some of the twitter feeds of this when it happened and as the word got out. Many people who were behind them just shook their head and walked away. They have shot themselves in the foot by taking over Senator Sanders Rally and shown how tainted their actual movement is.
