BLACK LIVES MATTER

In my opinion, this situation is getting out of hand. I read this morning that in Canada, one such group hijacked a college president, wouldn't let her leave the building. In America, I understand that may be the legal equivalent of kidnapping.
     I await the news coverage on MSNBC, CBS AND NBC to fill me in on details. The same group rails against the Baltimore cop on trial in the Fred Gray matter, in my judgement, a bad call on their part. The judge will find it impossible to pick an unbiased jury in that town and therefore move the trial in a change of venue.
     The racial aspects of the event are enormous. The townspeople are better served by low profiling their tempers and letting the law run it's course. The probability of that happening short of martial law IMO is zero.
     Chicago's police shooting of the young black teen is all but concluded in favor of the family. Black Lives Matter (BLM) needs to grasp the momentum is now in their favor, and further agitation isn't needed. The Chicago Police are in trouble on this  affair, public sentiment doesn't appear favorable on the CPD side, and BLM might gain some favor by keeping a representative committee involved in the process, not seething crowds.
