Black Lives Matter releases its policy platform

[DrScholl]

The people who put out this platform probably don't vote in midterms and probably have never voted in a local election. It's highly likely that they can't name a member of their local government. Police procedure is set at the local level, so if you want change you have to work hard at that level to achieve it. And if necessary, you have to get on board with gang injunctions, because much of if not most of the crime in black neighborhoods is gang related.

Black neighborhoods tend to be economically isolated and that doesn't make finding work easy. Adding vocational courses to high school curriculum can prepare young people to break the cycle. If there aren't funds to do this, Black Lives Matter should start a non-profit that funds after-school programs and vocational programs to uplift students and keep them away from gangs.
