In a Sunday speech on racial inequality, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) called for broad policing reform — including de-escalation training and body cameras for all police officers — and likened the current Black Lives Matter movement to the civil rights movement that won black Americans the right to vote in the 1960s.
"None of us can ignore what is happening in this country. Not when our black friends, family, neighbors literally fear dying in the streets." Warren said. "This is the reality all of us must confront, as uncomfortable and ugly as that reality may be. It comes to us to once again affirm that black lives matter, that black citizens matter, that black families matter."
In the address, a copy of which was provided to The Washington Post prior to her delivery, Warren draws direct parallels between the civil rights movement and the current anti-police-brutality movement, and it sought to link issues on economic inequality with systemic racism. She traces racial economic inequality, citing inequities in the housing system, as well as decrying restrictions to voting rights.

I would be willing to go out on a limb and say that they do.
If all the police wore body cameras the liberals and gangsta’s and “Black Lives Matter” groups won’t like what they see.
Within three months they would be filing lawsuits to have the cameras done away with.
A rich white woman splains black people to us.
“I wonder how many thugs supporting BLM realize that body cameras will show police doing the right thing in more than 95%”
It also means that out of the daily terabytes of cam data, some cop somewhere will say or do something that will get MSM squawking and squealing. I think that’s the real reason for cams- an endless source of anti-cop propaganda.
All the better if the new people they hire to sort and archive the terabytes of daily data are activists.
That Castro guy might be a bit too conservative for them.
“Say what? Black people couldn’t vote before the 60s????”
You don’t remember when FDR went on TV and announced it?
Joe? Joe Biden, is that you??? How long you been a FReeper? (Just between you and me -- I won't tell...)
Heap big wampum crap from the faux indian chieft-tress!
No such thing. Any attempt to "de-escalate" the situation will be viewed as a sign of weakness, which will intensify the attack against you.
Every police officer knows you control the situation or the situation controls you.
The marxist-memed injun is on the war path.
What a laugh. To liberals, blacks aren't their friends, they're more like an accessory to be used at the appropriate time.
BLM is a campaign tactic meant to aid a favored candidate and keep the others from the prize. And to prop up black turnout of course.
I’m not sure who the beneficiary is supposed to be yet.
Hilary hasn’t suffered from them, but they have it in for Sanders. If Hilary drops out we may find out.
She’s making a big blunder, though. She’s calling for body cameras on all LEOs. I’m all for it. If the LEO in Ferguson had been wearing a camera, it would have been “case closed” right from the get-go. The tussle in the car, of Brown trying to get the LEO’s gun would have been all blurry and unclear, but it would have had all the audio, all the shouted “white honkeys” and the “MFs” for all to enjoy. And the BIG benefit would have been the VIDEO of the sweet darlin’ gentle giant, head and shoulders forward, charging like a raging bull, and the LEO’s only recourse to protect his life; pull the trigger.....repeatedly....until all he heard was “click-click-click!”
The BLM perps have obviously not thought this through. Cameras never blink, and cameras tell it like it is.
Reminds me of Rev. Bob Harrington, walking his beat as The Chaplain of Bourbon St. in New Orleans. He encountered a drunk lying on the street, who recognized Harrington and mumbled, “Pray for me.” So Bob hunkered down, laid his hand on the guy and said loudly, “Lord, I want to pray for this drunk....” Shhh-shhhh-shhhh!,” the drunk said to Harrington. “Don’t tell Him I’m drunk; tell Him I’m sick.” So Harrington began again, “Lord, I want to pray for this sick drunk...” Always seek the truth.
Once body cameras are in full use, and the BLMs realize, the bull$h!t’s done when the cameras run, they’ll come up with 1001 reasons why the LEOs “shouldn’t BE ALLOWED to use body cameras.
Closing Case in Point: On Thursday or Friday an LEO’s body camera showed how a BLM perp charged him, while the cop kept backing away, until the only thing left was to waste the perp.
Hasten the cameras. They will also weed out the rare, occasional trigger-happy cop, too. Let’s ALWAYS seek the TRUTH.
Amen.
Black Lives Matter Is Living in the Past

The squaw falsely claims she has black neighbors? LOL
She lives in an upscale part of town in a 2 million dollar house. Not many blacks in her neighborhood, if any.
You have a good point. I was forgetting that this is not about the facts. Liberals are natural liars; if they cared about the truth, they would be conservatives.
