The group also is calling for the passage of a bill that would create a commission to study reparations for descendants of slaves.
Reparations? LMAO
For something I wasn't responsible for and nothing to do with?
Take away the reparations (keep the bolded), and this white boy could get behind this platform! :thumbs:The agenda, titled "A Vision for Black Lives: Policy Demands for Black Power, Freedom and Justice" was released Monday by the Movement for Black Lives. The platform also comes after both the Republican and Democratic conventions, during which Black Lives Matter activists were noticeably absent from protest lines.
"We seek radical transformation, not reactionary reform," Michaela Brown, a spokeswoman for Baltimore Bloc, one of the group's partner organizations, said in a statement. "As the 2016 election continues, this platform provides us with a way to intervene with an agenda that resists state and corporate power, an opportunity to implement policies that truly value the safety and humanity of Black lives, and an overall means to hold elected leaders accountable."
The agenda outlines six demands and offers 40 recommendations on how to address them. To address criminal justice reform, for example, movement organizers are calling for an end to the type of militarized police presence seen at protests in cities like Ferguson, and the retroactive decriminalization and immediate release of all people convicted of drug offenses, sex work related offense and youth offenses.

Though I might have to differentiate between personal possession & small scale sales offenses - vs large scale dealing.
That is what you laugh at and not the letting out of tons of criminals?
I don't have an issue letting out people that are in for drugs and prostitution, these are victimless crimes.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/02/us/politics/black-lives-matter-campaign.html?_r=0More than 60 organizations associated with the Black Lives Matter movement have released a series of demands on Monday, including for reparations.
The list of six platform demands is aimed at furthering their goals as the presidential campaign heads into the homestretch.
The release of the six demands comes a few days before the second anniversary of the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., which set off months of protests and led to a national conversation about police killings of blacks.
You can cite BLM members shooting police officers?If they stop shooting police they wont come in riot gear, other than that I agree with you
Drug crimes are definitely not victim less.

Drug addicts become victims of their drug use, that true.Drug crimes are definitely not victim less.
This is a ridiculous Godwin argument, in lieu of your ability to provide evidence supporting your claims.No your right I'm sure the people that are killing police officers have nothing to do with BLM. They just happen to be killing officer during BLM rallies. Nothing to see here.
Do you have any proof Nazi's killed any Jews? I have it on good authority the Holocaust never happened.
This is a ridiculous Godwin argument, in lieu of your ability to provide evidence supporting your claims.
And once again, would you please provide citation or other evidence.Thugs shooting white cops at a BLM protests are BLM supporters killing white cops. You can make all the excuses you want. It doesn't change a thing.

Sounds a lot like the Nation of Islam's "Muslim Program"
Stuff like decriminalizing drug and sex offenses, as well as releasing people, sounds socially libertarian to me.
The vast majority are.
