is the new civil rights movement. No one else has spoken up for people since Trayvon Martin, THREE YEARS AGO. His killer got off in a rigged trial and it faded from view, except for the zimpig missteps with the law since then. No politicians looked into it with enough interest to keep it alive. The LAW had spoken. A racist murderer was free and clear. The New YORK, Cincinnatti, Ferguson, 12 year olf Tamir Rice cases, outrage then fade from general view. Ferguson got the politicians attention, good. Then after "the report", faded away. Baltimore scared the privileged because of the Nat Turner fear they carry. So people stood up and started looking with a few comments in support. But just like the BLM outspokeness, everyone concentrated on the violence and destruction in Baltimore and not the the underlying cause. Freddie Gray. Okay his killers are going to face some kind of trial, sham or not. Sen Sanders is starting to speak out and that is good. "Black Lives Matter" did NOTHING wrong. NOTHING!!!! Except put the focus on our candidates and a very serious problem that since Travon Martin, has not been seriously discussed.
