The representatives from BLM do look pathetic on television. The gentleman who appeared on "All In" did tell a story that was not believable. Another BLM Minneapolis member appeared on CNN yesterday with Don Lemon. The young man could not tell Lemon what BLM had as its goal . BLM has 26 official chapters, but anyone is free to use the name.

At this point, BLM does not care about its public image. The goal seems to be protest to bring attention to an issue. BLM points out that law enforcement and the judicial system already knows what needs to be done. 

BLM may be getting ready to crash and burn or it may reflect the feelings of the people who feel targeted by police. We will see who shows up a future rallies. Remember, the protest was peaceful.

Whether BLM survives will really be up to local communities. No black activist group had the universal support of the white community. Angry whites attacked the brave whites who sided with MLK Jr. Al Sharpton angers many whites. O'Reilly's opposition to BLM was predictable. He is the guy who went to Slyvia's with Al Sharpton and was amazed that black people knew how to use forks and knives.

While BLM gets justifiable criticism, why is the Texas Sheriff who linked BLM to the murder of his deputy under fire? Why is the NYPD union leader who blamed black protesters for the murder of two NYPD officers still in his job? These police officials are placing targets on BLM without proof of a connection between the group and the murders of police officers?

The criticism of BLM without similar condemnation of remarks by police officials may be viewed as bias within the community.
