(07/10/2016) An Ex-Cop Organized a Black Lives Matter Protest — and Protestors Got More Than They Bargained For.  Basically he told them that if you are black and you care about black lives (including your own), here is what you need to do.  And he nailed it.  Too bad our 'leaders' care more about maintaining racial division for partisan purposes than they do about genuine racial healing.
