I strongly support the goals behind BLM, but I think the tactics have become rather muddled and sometimes misplaced. This seems like the wrong place and the wrong time. Not the way to effectively transmit the message to the public, and not particularly the way to win hearts and minds. Please, BLM, get your act together. Hone the message, pick the battles wisely.
