They've attached themselves to the black movement but their goal is not black empowerment. Their goal is to completely tear down the capitalist system. You know...Marxists. Don't take my word for it..take their founders words.

I'm completely on board with police reforms, but the movement need to distance themselves from these jokers or they will never have mass appeal.
How about we deal with the police reform, and then worry if the Marxists will stop there and instead dismantle the country?
Because large change takes time. Nothing moves fast in the US gov't. There needs to be a back and forth of ideas that take place in congress. Some believe we should completely defund the police, some believe partial defunding, some believe we should increase funding and add more training and take cops off the job to train. Some believe we shouldn't change anything. The problem is there is no nuance right now, everything is black or white. People need to stop and listen and learn to compromise.
For reference, the NAACP was founded in 1919 to fight police brutality and lynching. A hundred and one years ago (101!).
Out of the view of most, the debates have been going for quite a while. Papers have been written. Conferences have been held. The Obama administration issued detailed guidelines. Some departments have implemented best practices. The slow stuff has been done. We are in the fierce urgency of now.
Patience is a virtue, but I’m not into virtue signaling these days.
