Calling that discombobulated, aimless group "black lives matter" is/was one of the biggest blunders of the social media age.

They took a movement centered around the discussion of the militarization of the police and police brutality - a movement with broad, bipartisan and multi-racial support - and completely obliterated it by choosing "black lives matter" as the rallying cry.

At this point, no moderate, rational person who wants to have a discussion about police brutality is going to associate themselves with a group that can be characterized as a domestic terrorist, even if it is just on the fringes of that group. A movement against police brutality that was picking up steam is now as divisive as ever as people feel like they're forced to support their race more than justice and the truth.

For someone who had any hope for change, it is truly infuriating.
