Quote:The original message was "Hands up, don't shoot", which was a proven lie. 

It began with the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter on social media after George Zimmerman was acquitted. It became nationally recognized in 2014 after the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. Sadly that national recognition came with violent protests and demonstrations. The idea of BLM in itself is not the problem, it's how it has grown into what it is because there is no structure. It is decentralized and people pretty much just do what they want under the BLM banner with no real leadership.
