... against police violence in these instances, which we just passed after a second reading of it in our July meeting.

Have YOU done anything like that? HUH? But you just assume that I don't, because you assume that I'm white, and you assume then that I also do nothing too! I also wrote an initial resolution that asked to give amnesty for past marijuana crimes here in Oregon now that we made it legal, that another followup resolution was passed later, and actually lead to some legislation being passed to do this here in Oregon last term. Many in prison now and affected by drug convictions are disproportionately more apt to be POC due to the way our system of justice works. So your welcome sir!

I have said REPEATEDLY that I am for the movement, but just because I am doesn't mean I have to accept the absolutely RUDE statements made by these individuals.

Absolutely. He is already being diminished by caving in to them. Peregrine Took Aug 2015 #5

really? What should he have done? notadmblnd Aug 2015 #8

He should have had security so NO ONE could have gotten onto the stage BillZBubb Aug 2015 #15

Maybe he doesn't have the money for security as of yet? notadmblnd Aug 2015 #16

BLM is not about a candidate ibegurpard Aug 2015 #38

It's a hashtag movement. Of course it will go away fbc Aug 2015 #40

It will go on as long as we keep seeing high profile killings of unarmed black people Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #41

Without leaders, anyone is #BLM, and that will lead to more incidents like the other day. fbc Aug 2015 #42

Yet #BLM interrupts Bernie Sanders in Seattle, what happens after that incident? Cali_Democrat Aug 2015 #43
