Would it have been called assault if they were white protestors doing that to a black reporter? Just asking.

I'd much rather watch this guy, from one of the featured videos that were shown after that one played.

I can't stand BLM because of the way they try to go about getting their message out. But I can't deny that they have brought the spotlight on some important issues (although they aren't addressing other issues in their communities).

My main problem is that they have no strategy or end-game. Their leadership isn't smart or organized. You can't just be angry and protest. There has to be compromise if they want real change and their leadership doesn't seem capable of that. They're not savy or strategic; they just come across as angry and many people just don't take them seriously.

This guy makes a lot of valid points. I can say that about most of his videos.

Anyway, these people are obviously idiots and don't speak for anyone but their own selves. It always surprised that Minneapolis had a near identical crime to Philadelphia.

Fux news should be designated as a hate group...
Sure looks like people like you support it. Maybe not YOU specifically, but your liberal "we" does.

This is the issue. According to the "Founders" of #BlackLivesMatter , it isn't an "organization". It is a "movement", in which, their is no direct control or "Leaders". This is a problem when dealing with relatively young, upset, and motivated people who want to help "the cause" but aren't being told by anyone of how they can be helpful. You don't really see general BLMs protests in Philly. There are already dozens of organizations that run their own marches and what not. Within these groups, there are some good ones who spread a good message that is very akin to Bernie Sander's socioeconomic justice, and then there is the militant ones who are the modern day Black Panthers/Malcolm X types.
They all need to take some marketing classes ASAP. Everything they're doing is the opposite of how you get 'customers' (supporters).

You didn't see them pushing the reporter and hitting his microphone? How could you miss that?

Pushing someone and hitting their property is assault. But you being "zoned out" I understand why you missed that.
