Protesters with the Black Lives Matters movement interrupted a Hillary Clinton rally in Atlanta on Friday, where she planned to unveil her criminal justice reform plan.
Members of the civil rights group in the crowd chanted âBlack Lives Mattersâ and sang hymns throughout her speech.
âYes, yes they do,â Clinton said, trying to placate the group. "And Iâm going to talk a lot about that in a minute.â
âNow my friends, I am going to get to some very important points that actually prove that black lives do matter and we have to take action together,â she added. âAnd I hope that weâll have a chance to talk more as I have been meeting with activists from the Black Lives Matter movement.â
Clinton pleaded with the group to listen to her policy proposals.
âNow, ladies and gentlemen, I have some â I have some issues to discuss and some proposals to make,â she said. âIf our friends will allow me to do it, they may actually find them to their liking.â
Clinton supporters tried to drown out the protesters with chants of âHillary!â and "Let her talk!" The Democratic front-runner ignored the protests and tried to continue with her speech for several minutes.
Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed went up on stage in a show of support to Clinton.
âThank you all very much, I really appreciate it, and I appreciate the congressman and the mayor having my back,â Clinton said.
The protesters were eventually removed from the rally.
âSo, Iâm sorry, you know, I appreciate their passion, but Iâm sorry they didnât listen, because some of what theyâve been demanding, I am offering and intend to fight for as president,â she said.
Clinton was announcing her criminal justice reform plan, which includes a call to end racial profiling in law enforcement.
âLetâs remember that everyone in every community benefits when there is respect for the law, and when everyone in every community is respected by the law,â she said.
Her plan comes several weeks after she met with leaders from the Black Lives Matter movement.
The movement has interrupted political speeches from presidential candidates to draw attention to their cause.

Black Lives Matter Protesters Crash Hillary Clinton’s HBCU Rally!
HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW!

of course it is staged, The Witch’s body language says so
and Witches need their flyin monkeys
You could be right. If the demonstrations were unplanned her (armed) security detail would have ushered her out of the way.
When Black Fecal Lives Matter terrorists want to “Reform the Criminal Justice System” what they mean is let all the criminals out so they can go steal as much stuff as they want. If Hillary Clinton loves these criminals so much she can let them move in with her and her sleaze bag hubby they would make themselves right at home
Every republican should hang these radical a-holes around the neck of every democrat running for anything. Unfortunately, republicans are too cowardly to do that, even as the bodies of dead cops and dead whites continue to pile up.
I noticed they didn’t try to rush the stage. Secret Service don’t be messin’ with that sh!t.

“I noticed they didn’t try to rush the stage.”
Imagine that! No Secret Service intervening.
Hollywood has taught the rats well. #ObviousActingMatters
Why would yours?
She was at Clark Atlanta University in SW Atlanta. Is that the best she could do? Totally irrelevant. Bad area surprised her limo wasn’t stolen.
