The Hillary campaign looks to have co-opted to BLM movement. Not surprising... that's the price of reformism.

I'll abandon the agents of the DNC/Clinton allies theory when I see reason to. Those questions they had phrased for her sound like perfect pitches; soft on economic justice and real reform, big on platitudes and "I've learned I was wrong" sentiment.
Clinton's camp is great at what they do though. They'll frame this entire conversations down to body cameras and some sentencing reform and win 70-80% of the black vote in the primary and 88-94% in the general.

Honestly, I don't see anybody rushing a former First Lady/Secretary of State's stage like they did Bernie
That's kinda scary when you think about it.
Her Secret Service detail would likely shoot them dead.BLM had the courage to run up on stage while Bernie Sanders was talking so let them run up on Hilary and see what happens.
Peep this.
Man this seems like a cover up story. Yesterday people were coming out wondering if #BLM is supported by Hillary backers. I hope people don't fall for the usual BS this election. Now they're saying they attempted to sabotage her event, but showed up "late".
There is no doubt that Hillary will still get the "black vote", but the question for her campaign is will they turn out to actually vote? Obama had historically high voter turnout from blacks but I just can't see that happening with Hillary. Yea she might poll 80% or more of the vote, but what will the actual turnout be?
It could be like the Trump vote. Yea he is leading in the polls, but past research shows that doesn't translate to votes.

Black turnout is gonna have a lot to do with how the Republican candidate addresses Obama imo. You look at the 2012 results, Obama did even better among black voters than he did in 08. Main reason being that many in the black electorate felt he was being disrespected by the GOP. If they come off as rude to his legacy again, with Clinton hitting the right notes about criminal justice, and Barack stumping for her hard in Cleveland, Philly, Detroit, Miami etc, I think she can expect a really strong turnout again.

Clinton meets with #BlackLivesMatter protesters after they were barred from her event
Keene, New Hampshire (CNN)Secret Service agents on Tuesday kept five people in #BlackLivesMatter T-shirts from entering a Hillary Clinton event in New Hampshire, but the candidate later met with them in an overflow room set up near the event.
Initially, the meeting between Clinton and the protesters was going to be covered by pooled members of the media, but Nick Merrill, a spokesman for Clinton's campaign, said the #BlackLivesMatter protesters asked for the event not to be recorded by the media once they were informed journalists would be let in. Members of the media were never in the room with Clinton and the protesters.
The Secret Service had closed the doors to the main event, a forum focused on combating substance abuse, in Keene after it reached capacity, a Clinton spokesperson and a Secret Service agent told CNN earlier Tuesday.
One of the five kept outside the event was Daunasia Yancey, the organizer from the Boston chapter of #BlackLivesMatter. The New Republic had quoted her earlier Tuesday saying the group planned to disrupt Clinton's event with questions about her previous support for "draconian penalties for drug possession and abuse" and the "hyper-militarization of urban police forces."
The protesters watched the event via a live stream in the overflow room, Merrill said.
In a criminal justice speech earlier in her campaign, Clinton had called for punishments outside of prison for non-violent drug crimes and for police officers to wear body cameras. It's a reversal from the 1990s criminal sentencing reforms that her husband, then-President Bill Clinton, had signed into law, which increased mass incarceration.
Protesters from #BlackLivesMatter groups have disrupted Democratic candidates' events before.
At last month's Netroots Nation in Phoenix, both former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders were interrupted. Since those protests, Clinton has gone to great lengths to say repeatedly that "black lives matter," and she has also made race and police reform a key part of her campaign.
Since last month's protests, O'Malley and Sanders have also tried to address race issues. O'Malley put out a criminal justice reform package earlier this month.
Then, over the weekend, Sanders ceded a stage in Seattle to protesters to make their points at the microphone, but eventually left the stage and called off his event when those protesters didn't relinquish the podium.
After Saturday's protests, the Sanders campaign added a "Racial Justice" tab to their campaign issues page.
"We must pursue policies that transform this country into a nation that affirms the value of its people of color. That starts with addressing the four central types of violence waged against black and brown Americans: physical, political, legal and economic," the website reads.
