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.

Thank you for the clarification.
That’s pretty good!
does this idiot realize that BLACKS KILLING BLACKS is the PROBLEM...
the rest is blacks resisting arrest or assaulting cops who defend themselves...
does she realize the BLACKS have not elevated themselves in the last 50+ years of libtard socialist programs that keep them status quo and voting libtard democrat... of course... but welfare and free stuff keep them happy in the ghetto...
how is it ben carson and thousands of others are able to overcome the obstacles...... IT’S CALLED FAMILY .... and it up to the blacks to assume personal responsibility .... good luck with that
I’m going to laugh when all these police cameras show the truth in how these #BLM thugs really behave. Lib heads will spin trying to cover for these special little snowflakes.
Did she say that white indians’ political lives matter?
That makes sense...
From the "right to vote (themselves free stuff)" to "The right to commit felonies with total impunity..."
A small step, really.
Has anybody done a DNA test on her?
