Sanders meets with Black Lives Matter activistsIn the end, I think he got it, McKesson tweeted.
McKesson, who also has met with officials from Democratic candidate Hillary Clintons campaign, lauded Sanders for his candor and willingness to be pushed on his policy and approach. He said he and others also asked Sanders to address police abuse of civil asset forfeiture and said he anticipates Sanders will address that issue in his platform.
McKesson wrote that there were moments during the meeting where they didnt agree.
Importantly, he was willing to be pushed and he was, tweeted McKesson, founder and co-editor of the Ferguson Protestor Newsletter.

(9,658 posts)Rep. Jim Clyburn, South Carolinas only Democrat in Congress, said during a recent interview that Black Lives Matter protesters were unfair to Sanders and wouldnt have targeted him had they known his record.
Nobody did more on their matters in the (Affordable Care Act) than Bernie Sanders did, Clyburn said. The tremendous increase in community health centers that was Bernies bill in the Senate and my bill in the house. We worked together on it for years.
Clyburn said he and Sanders also worked together to get funding for community health centers in the economic stimulus package.
Hes got that kind of a record, Clyburn said. If you dont know, you just dont know.

the way civil forfeiture is done currently is unconstitutional, even if you are found not guilty, you have to fight to get your property back

If you believe that throwing stink bombs for Hillary, insulting people based on genetics, and flipping off the press when asked what they were doing, is the way to stop police brutality and killings against POC, well good luck with that 'strategy'.
Their puzzling assaults against Bernie Sanders harmed, not helped, their cause IMHO.
