DeRay McKesson, one of the top organizers for the Black Lives Matter movement, is seeking a meeting with presidential aspirant Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL). The request for a meeting follows comments in which Rubio seemed to lend his personal support to the groups anti-cop rhetoric.
In a recent tweet, McKesson said, @MarcoRubio, I just saw your recent interview re: the movement. Will you meet to discuss the issues, and solutions, further?
...
Rubio said that concerns held by the controversial protesters are legitimate and suggested that resentment for law enforcement was understandable.

Without the tomato the wholesomeness is lost.
Apparently Rubio don't know '$hit'...maybe he needed to have the experience of having it served 'on a shingle'.
But hungrier and more ruthless. We gotta keep rubio in check.
Rubio has already said he has had a few friends stopped by police only because they were black. He is toast. No wonder his polls are so low.
Nah, that's too real, requiring real work that may never pay off.
Instead, blm prefers the war on white cops because it's a phony meme that weakling white libs -- and GOPe shills such as marco -- will too easily support.
Oh, good. I thought someone here was gonna slam me hard for using mayo, because that earlier thread here at FR about hating mayo was pretty intense. :)
Yes, the cool crisp tomato complements the salty zesty bacon in such a great way.
As for rubio, I won’t understimate him. He seems to be the toughest competition for Trump, Cruz, and Carson.
RubiOWNED
Rubberio proving once again just how flexible he can be.
I think I've eaten there.
The cops in this country are out of control.
Race has nothing to do with it.
If Trump wasn't running, Rubio would be begging him for cash.
Rubber? Flexible?
lol!
Must we remind ourselves that rubbers break and get torn on occassion?
blm thinks rubio is panderlicious.
The article acutally mentions that blm suspects rubio has no principles and is open to compromise.
Is he friggin kidding me? Not only is he a racist for pandering to the illegal aliens again and again because they're hispanic, but now he's pandering to the black rioters and their supporters?
Any wonder that this nation is becoming more divisive regarding race? Rubio should be saying that race nor ethnicity should play into anything and rioters/looters are criminals. Period.
Perhaps rubio should know about this, because he implies the cops are going berzerk only on minorities.
should [NOT] play. Sorry.
Yup, Brietbart took those words straight from rubio’s kelly file appearance. I don’t see the upside for rubio to make such divisive racially-tinged statements. It makes no sense politically for him to make them.
Never been there but gone by several of them.
Anything decent?
Well, I've learned long ago that's what politicians do who have no core beliefs. I already had written Rubio off because of his pandering to illegals, but this is beyond the pale. Really? The rioters/looters have a legitimate gripe against law enforcement? The man has lost his mind.
Rubio, Opeaser, Holder, Sharpton and all the other racists is why cops are getting shot more often and are now doing city-wide sickouts and reluctant to arrest criminals in the act. Good job there, you f*cking racists.
I agree. My wife and I watch Cops Reloaded and some times see where they take someone down hard who appears not resisting arrest. Sometimes, they jump too quick and too hard.
Just saw the other night, a suspect being cuffed and bent over to allow more access to his wrists, and one cop said "stop bending over and resisting". The suspect said, "I'm not, just trying to work with you". Surprised that Cops Reloaded actually showed it. Guess most fans of the show believe it's ALL justified.
So yes, I believe that more cops are becoming more aggressive. The question is why? More cops being shot? But then you have the cops in Ferguson and Baltimore and elsewhere who are afraid to due their duty.
I don't know what the answer is, but it's definitely not pandering to the stupid #blacklivesmatter racist crowd that Rubio is doing. Rioters/looters should get the full force of the law.
Force is the only thing the criminal element respect. I watched the Los Angeles Rodney King riots unfold from ground zero from day one. I will never forget that while they were burning down their own black neighborhoods, some Koreans stood atop their stores with rifles pointed down and didn't experience one looting or fire. Of course, the MSM painted them as vigilantes, but it didn't get much traction.
