Ben Carson, retired neurosurgeon and Republican 2016 presidential hopeful had a lot to say about the Black Lives Matter movement while riding through Ferguson, Mo., where the movement was born out of the shooting death of unarmed teen Michael Brown, CBS St. Louis and the Associated Press reports.
Carson chastised the activist movement, saying that it “foisting itself on people, rather than engaging in dialogue, and bullying people. I never liked the idea of bullying on behalf of anyone.”

Ben Carson appears to be the only politician who is not afraid to stand up to them.
Michael Brown was a bully, too, Ben, but you still criticized the police officer’s actions. Guess it didn’t matter that a grand jury found his actions justified. Pandering Much?
Agreed.
That said, there is now the issue of his comments re amnesty for illegal aliens, and Dr. Carson has much explaining to do.
(I'm not a single issue voter; however, amnesty for illegals has most of my divided attention.)
Yep, and he said essentially “We have to go to the people to find out what THEY want’ in situations like Ferguson.
I don’t give a DAMN what THUGS and CRIMINALS who burn towns when a police officer LEGALLY protects his own life by shooting a CRIMINAL who tried to kill him want- These animals acted like rabid criminals for NO VALID REASON-
And Carson thinks we should ‘go to them to see what THEY want’?
BS!
You haven’t a chance, Ben. You already put your foot in it several times.
Just shut up and withdraw gracefully as Rick Perry did.
Keep speaking out, Dr. Carson!
People need to hear you say what most of the others won’t.
Too late, Ben.
“Ben Carson appears to be the only politician who is not afraid to stand up to them.”
He certainly DID NOT stand up for the cop that shot Michael Brown, which started this entire “BLACK LIVES MATTER” crap.
Considering that Carson essentially said that the cop murdered Brown, I have trouble supporting him on ANY racial issue.
Ben is becoming quite good at back pedaling.
Maryland PING!
“Bullying”? Hell their antics are getting people killed.
