Walker rejects meeting with Black Lives Matter leaders

Joining fill-in host Shannon Bream on Thursday’s Kelly File to comment on the latest shooting in Ferguson, Missouri, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke demanded that “the liberal mainstream media” stop their charade as “the propaganda wing” of the Black Lives Matter movement that Clarke has dubbed the “Black Lies Matter” movement. “All lives matter. It is not that any life matters more than another”. But some jurisdictions have begun to shift the burden of investigating police away from police and the prosecutors they work with toward independent agencies. What he’s asked folks to do is to be patient with him and to trust that he will be the best candidate to advance this type of agenda. Who is the tea party? It’s faster in the prison, like with families who are broken up by their family members being in prison.

It’s not the first time the duo made the claim, Mullins added. It’s on pace to topple a thousand. Rooted in the experiences of Black people in this country who actively resist our de-humanization, #BlackLivesMatter is a call to action and a response to the virulent anti-Black racism that permeates our society. We have live statistics that are showing the urgency of this, unlike ever before.

On Tuesday, prominent activists who have campaigned with the Black Lives Matter movement unveiled a comprehensive set of policy proposals called Campaign Zero, designed to help bring an end to police violence in America. And we have heard words that can not be printed in the newspaper.

“I would say temper your perspective with the urgency that black lives are actively under attack and we are in a bad war with our own country, African-Americans are Americans and we’re not treated like that”, Jones said. Bernie Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley were interrupted in Phoenix.

Police unions are a powerful, antagonistic political force when it comes to Black Lives Matter activists’ quest for police and criminal justice reform, and, importantly, such unions should not be allowed to exist in a democratic society where employees of the government are supposed to serve residents and not the other way around. And specifically in this instance, in – when we’re talking about the presidential race, the president of the United States is expected to have certain understandings around economics, around foreign policy, et cetera.

Yet the fact that my instinct was to record what I saw on camera stems nearly entirely from an understanding of the problems built in to militarized and overzealous policing.
