Movement has legitimate points but their execution is flawed and IMO they've lost their way and are basically a political lapdog anymore. They'll be lucky to be relevant in 2017 just like Cindy Sheehans anti-war movement was only funded\useful for an election year.
They've never seriously taken on the worst bastions of abuse like Chicago (Laquan McDonald). Now if something happens in someplace that isn't machine connected (like Ferguson) then they're supported and funded.
P.S. Most people forget that the NAACP actually had to provide protection to black witnesses that supported the officers version of events in Ferguson. From whom? From skinheads or the Klan? Nope, From BLM.
