So the #BLM's cause now also extends to Bloods and Crips?
To be truly comparable, they'd have to be representing a large group of people and advocating policy he agrees with. Say union reps. I think he would have treated them the same way.
What's the BLM connection? Just that the lady is black?
Anyway, I would like the hear Clinton's response. I'm sure she has one, and she should if she doesn't.
Why is her apologizing for a poor choice of words (in response to a person who she offended by using them) a problem? She's also changed her mind about the crime bill, like Bill has. You know a person is being treated with illogical disdain when admitting a mistake is itself a mistake. People need to get a grip here.She folded, as expected.

This image will be in every attack ad come the fall if we end up with Trump vs Sanders -
BLM are attacking Hillary because they've found their ideal candidate in weak-kneed coward Sanders. Sanders is so desperate for their support after being smeared as racist early in the campaign because he comes from lily white Vermont and wasn't talking enough about "their issues" that he caters to their every demand now.
The above picture says a thousand words. Does he look like a commander in chief?
Both sides have a racist problem and both sides are pandering to those racists for votes.
Ashley Williams, BLM activist:

Does that suffice?
Thats still a pretty small minority of prisoners.Exactly! Everyone knows there's a close link between crime and substance abuse. So let's implement drug policy that actually helps with that. Freeing nonviolent drug offenders would be a great start; as you said most people aren't in there for drugs alone, but freeing nonviolent drug offenders would still free up a shitload of money to start giving addicts real treatment based on current addiction medicine science, thus causing crime to plummet and helping everyone.
Listen to what she said. The protester was addressing mass incarceration, which is very much a problem and is very much a racial issue and which Hillary was endorsing and feeding into in that speech. This is EXACTLY the sort of thing BLM should be protesting.
Fourteen percent. That's a shitload, and it's a shitload of money we need. If you take off all the extra time tacked on to other sentences for drug offenses, it'll go down even further. And that's just the money saved on incarceration, not policing and prosecuting. Think about how much extra money we'd have lying around for drug treatment if we did that.Thats still a pretty small minority of prisoners.
