Ahead of the second anniversary of the fatal police shooting of an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri, that touched off a wave of protests nationwide, a coalition of more than 60 organizations affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement has issued a list of demands calling for policing and criminal-justice reforms.
The agenda, titled "A Vision for Black Lives: Policy Demands for Black Power, Freedom and Justice," was released Monday by the Movement for Black Lives. The platform also comes after both the Republican and Democratic conventions, during which Black Lives Matter activists were noticeably absent from protest lines.
"We seek radical transformation, not reactionary reform," Michaela Brown, a spokeswoman for Baltimore Bloc, one of the group's partner organizations, said in a statement. "As the 2016 election continues, this platform provides us with a way to intervene with an agenda that resists state and corporate power, an opportunity to implement policies that truly value the safety and humanity of Black lives, and an overall means to hold elected leaders accountable."
The agenda outlines six demands and offers 40 recommendations on how to address them.

I just came across the story of the Murders on the Rock Bridge at St Louis,in 1991 when a young woman and her sister were murdered on the bridge. They had gone to the bridge to show a relative a poem about racial healing and racism the older sister had written in graffiti on the bridge. The young liberal girls believed in social justice and were raped and killed by a small gang of youths. Ah, the narrative is enhanced by the name of the gang leader who died in prison. Marlin Gray.Wonder if he had relatives in Baltimore, or if he was kin of the gentle giant in Ferguson. Even the white BLM idiots were represented in the murderous behavior by a small hanger on white member of the gang of 4 that raped and tortured the three innocent idiots on the bridge that night.
released an “official” list?
When did BLM organization of thugs receive de jure status?
Are they coming to arrest us all?
Black lives MATTER!
Unless you are black and murdered by an illegal alien.
That is all. End of discussion.
So riots destroying innocent peoples' property are now considered protests?
An interesting read. These people are delusional. They go on and on about freedom and economic independence, then demand cradle to grave handouts.
Tell them to ‘stuff it’.
BLM couldn’t spell half of the words on their list.
Thr plan is entitled treat me special and gimme stuff
Why do advocates of totalitarian statism always claim to be “resisting state power?”
Notice when you hover over ‘political power’, it shows a black power fist.
And it does not begin with "I have a dream".
Sure, let’s negotiate.
Counter-demands:
1. Get a job.
1a. Live within your income.
2. Obey the law.
2a. Get it changed if you don’t like it.
3. Take responsibility for consequences of your actions.
3a. That includes raising your own kids, not abandoning/aborting them.
Culture matters. We’re color blind.
You think that’s bad, read the story of the Wichita Horror. And they think WE oew THEM reparations????
I hope Trump doesn’t let the country forget the Democrats have LEGITIMIZED these terrorists.
1. Death to all white people!
2. The givemedats demand all white people give them everything foeva!
3. Brains for discovering #1 and #2 conflict.
BLM just sent a team to network with Palestinian terrorists. BLM is a bunch of wannabe revolutionary scumbags.
