Well, I'm black. If black lives matter, don't disrupt my (and my family's) needs with foolishness.
Unfortunately, as a black person, your logical voice is drowned out by the mediawhores like Jesse, Rev Al, and other race baiters, like BLM who then become the face and voice of black America.
This whole disrupting traffic stuff is plain evil. What if someone is rushing an ill or pregnant relative to the hospital?
They should be arrested for domestic terrorism. The penalty for getting arrested for violent protesting should be increased so that these idiots have police records. No more "catch and release" with no consequences.
Good luck trying to explain to your next employer why you have an arrest record.
these folks' knack of knowing just what to do to get others to empathize with them is sheer genius
Black Lives Matter St. Paul intends to hold a rally to disrupt operations at the Minnesota State Fair during its opening weekend, the group announced Thursday.
Dubbed #BlackFair, organizers plan to protest St. Paul police shootings and alleged racial disparities at Minnesota’s largest community gathering during a march and demonstration outside the gates. Beginning at 11 a.m. on Aug. 29, supporters will march from Hamline Park down Snelling Avenue to the State Fair gates, disrupting traffic along their route.
I did think initially that they had a point to be made, but they've lost me. It's one thing to make your voice heard, but disrupting events should get you arrested once you've been warned.
This is what protestors do. Disrupt things to call attention to their cause.
Do you think it was "convenient" when civil rights protesters marched in the 1960s? Heck no, middle America hated it. Martin Luther King never had more than 45% favorability in gallup polls in the 60s, and by 1966 he was polling at 72% unfavorable. Martin Luther King Jr.: Revered More After Death Than Before
I'm not black and have never had a problem with the police, or with black people for that matter. But thanks to the protests I do understand that some black people feel that the cards are stacked against them with the police. I would never have thought about if not for people demonstrating.
They're exercising their 1st amendment rights which I support.

Thank you! I have never heard of a convenient protest.

I don't think Mr. Soros will mind their arrest record.
It's time to bring in the fire hoses for peeling off clothes and smart phones.
