BLM is a group that is forming around a crisis of police killings of mostly black people, unarmed black people.

Many involved are sincere and want to do what they can.

Apparently though, there are some that are using the movement for their own purposes — perhaps it's megalomania-spotlight-seeking, or maybe just misguided wrongheadedness by a couple of people, maybe it's even a dirty tricks tactic being deployed and paid for by who knows who right now, but it'll come out.

These two links should help you understand better what happened in Seattle without rushing to judgment:

Let's let it unfold and not discount the efforts of thousands of people who participated in activities around the country to hold killer cops accountable. Disrespectful phrases like "they're toast to me" and "So far, crickets" as to an apology are unhelpful and off-putting.

You actually seem to think there are national BLM officers with headquarters and such that should issue a formal apology. It's a movement organized mostly around a Twitter hashtag for God's sake.

Instead of trashing everyone who has participated in the movement, go after those who have seemingly hijacked the good intentions of it.
