Hillary Clinton Meets Privately With 'Black Lives Matter' Protesters Aug 18, 2015, LIZ KREUTZ

Hillary Clinton held an impromptu, closed-door meeting with five “Black Lives Matter” protesters in Keene, New Hampshire, last week that at times got notably tense, and somewhat uncomfortable, according to videos released late Monday night showing what it was like inside.

Standing inside an over-flow room after one of Clinton's recent campaign events, the Democratic presidential front-runner told the group of protesters she is “ready to do my part" to support their efforts, but at times seemed visibly frustrated during her interactions with them.

She ultimately offered them some advice on how to be a more productive movement. “You’re going to have to come together as a movement and say, ‘Here’s what we want done about it,’” Clinton said, “Because you can get lip service from as many white people as you can pack into Yankee stadium, and say a million more like it who are going to say ‘We get it, We get it, We’re going to be nicer.’ Right? That’s not enough, at least in my book.”

Clinton, who in a testy exchange appeared to disagree with the protesters on how to implement policy change, later added: "Look, I don’t believe you change hearts. I believe you change laws, you change allocation of resources, you change the way systems operate. You’re not going to change every heart, you’re not. But, at the end of the day, we can do a whole lot to change some hearts and change some systems and create more opportunities for people who deserve to have them."

The protesters also asked Clinton to reflect on policies from the Bill Clinton administration that led to the dramatic rise in mass incarceration we see today.

I think my attitude is the same as most people,don’t start nothin’-won’t be nothin’.

On the other hand if you push me,I’ll push back hard.

The meeting was interesting. The Black Lives Matter spokesman thought he was going to shake Hillary down but, being the old pro that she is, she shook him down.

saw the news story (more like pandering) on ABC. Hitlery said she doesn’t believe changing hearts will fix things.

Well, when you don’t have one, that makes sense to me.

I wonder how many of those 100,000 new cops Bubba pushed for are the ones shooting the “unarmed” blacks and throwing the others in prison?.

I wonder if this was all staged. BLM is funded by George Soros, who is also the biggest supporter of Hillary Clinton. Hillary is using the “race card” with the help of George Soros to deceive voters. Unbelievable she will stop at nothing. No Shame

Good idea - make Madame Clinton choose a side.
