Stop Slandering ‘Black Lives Matter’

On December 20, New York City suffered an incredible tragedy: Depraved, cowardly madman Ismaaiyl Brinsley murdered NYPD officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu. There is not a scintilla of justification for Brinsley’s actions, and it shall always be a sad chapter of our city’s history.

However, what has concerned me and many others is that some folks are attempting to coopt this tragedy to slander the Black Lives Matter movement and quash any attempt at reforms or accountability.
