Georgia Democrat Stacy Abrams told "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" on Sunday that the deadly shooting of another black man in Atlanta this weekend demonstrates the "legitimacy" of Black Lives Matter protests.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Let’s pick up where I left off with Dr. Carson right there. He says we have to grow up.STACEY ABRAMS, AUTHOR, “OUR TIME IS NOW”: I think that is a fairly infantile response, actually, to say that words don't have meanings, that dates don't have meanings, that dates don't have power.
(snip)
(ABRAMS:) And so, let’s be very clear, this isn't about growing up. It's about taking responsibility and having accountability for the actions that have been taken by this country and by people acting on behalf of this country and we do have a day of reckoning and that day of reckoning is going to continue until we actually make change. ....
And that is why you saw the reaction from protesters, that is why the virulence of anger remains. Activists are necessarily calling into question what's actually being done.
And what I would say is that there is -- there’s a legitimacy to this anger, there’s a legitimacy to this outrage. A man was murdered because he was asleep in a drive-through and we know that this is not an isolated occurrence.
We also know that a man taking a Taser from a police officer in Pennsylvania resulted in his arrest, but because this person was black, it resulted in his death.
Those are conversations that have to be had, not only through speeches but through the decisions made by budget allocations, and I think that’s the next conversation we have to have in Atlanta.

The way the Left encourage expressing the "virulence of anger" is to destroy, more destroy, and more wontan destroy everything in sight.
And, the "reckoning" can only happen one way, and one way only.
There is nothing worse than a deadbeat, fat, ugly, angry bully pissed off at the world because of what she sees staring back at her from every single mirror ever made.
...or until that fat ***** chokes on a chicken bone.
How does one describe this idiotic word salad? Is it a mixed metaphor? Malapropism?
I want to know why there are no adequate BLACK lawyers in Minneapolis to deal with the case of appointing a trustee for George Floyd next of kin.. Both named lawyers, plantiff and Lead attorney are WHITE
The white male Judge has been removed by White Plaintiff female Lawyer and a black female one put in place
That is a pure bluff that should be called. Let the democrats loot and pillage their way into November!
Why does anybody pay any attention at all to this loser? Seriously.
Translation: We are going to keep rioting, burning and looting until you give us what we want. We won’t even tell you what we want, except incrementally . . . and we will keep raising the ante.
btw, Case No. 27-CV-20-7775 for appointing the trustee
If this is all it was, why did he resist with force, steal the taser, and then try to run away ?
Because she causes her own gravity well?
There, fixed it................
It would be a Godsend for Joe to pick Stacy Abrams as his running mate. Just sayin.
Nothing Stacy Abrams say is worth repeating it’s unfit for news.
May I suggest; two parent households, scholastic performance, substance abuse avoidance, and Judeo-Christian values as a start.
Uh no... if a white person had of done what Brooks did the result would have been the same.
She needs to have a “day of reckoning” with the dentist or perhaps, orthodontist.
Stacy Abrams lost. She’s a loser.
Making change isn’t that hard. The cash register usually tells you how much to hand out.
