The crucial thing to remember about Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street, and any number of lesser known Soros funded organizations, is that they are explicitly designed to "inoculate" against the idea that there are legitimate complaints about institutional corruption and violence by flooding the media with the most outrageously illegitimate complaints which can be made to plausibly resemble the legitimate complaints.
Generally speaking, the test of whether a complaint is legitimate or not is fairly simple. Does the "plaintiff" INSIST that the only valid way to solve the problem is to do something that is OBVIOUSLY going to make the problem worse? Pay careful attention to how they react to those who propose reasonable alternatives for approaching the problem.
In the case of complaints about government, it is wise to check for claims that the only way to fix a problem is a massive increase in the bureaucracy. And of course getting money from Soros is a pretty dead giveaway.

Anyone else perceive a resemblance between the "Black Lives Matter" banner pictured on the referenced article and another reading "Arbeit Macht Frei"?
Rand Paul is coming to Seattle next week, lets see if he lets them take over his event like Bernie did!
