But who knows, maybe the co-founder doesn't speak for BLM.

For most, more cops in jail. For some, more cops dead.

And is this BLM leader by chance the same one that bristled at Hillary in their private meeting when she asked him what solutions did he have?

There's no stopping this gravy train.  BLM is going to launch the next generation of black leaders....none too soon, either, with Jesse and Al getting long in the tooth.

Maybe the answer came from the Wichita group in the article Larry posted?

Quote:Organizer A.J. Bohannon agrees with Cullor on changing laws, but he says the way they are going about it here in Wichtia works for this community.

"What's good for Wichita, Kansas may not be the same thing that's good for Washington D.C., those people aren't here in Wichita. They don't know the pulse, and the temperature of this community, and the ways they interact with their police officers and elected officials is not the same way we have to, or chose to interact here in Wichita," Bohannon said.

While I am flattered that Larry and SSF think I can speak for BLM I can only surmise that this local group felt this was a good thing and the national group feels protests and going around the officers to the law makers is better. Personally I would rather these group work more together than at each other. That's really the only way to settle differences. Perceived or real.

Clearly this is because I must hate the police, I have been told.
