On disrupting rallies.

In the 60's a lot of activists disrupted rallies for the Democratic party. People thought the party could get it's stuff together and we ended up having very strong Republican rule as a result.
It looks like the same thing will happen now with the Black Lives Matter movement.
Disrupting rallies is one way to get your message out, but why not try the other party.
Also, here are some thoughts I have been having about possible solutions or strategies if I were one of these activists, which I am not.
First of all you need allies with money and you need greater numbers. Your advantage is that you have a lot of members i.e. potential votes, which is why Rand Paul has tried to get those votes by saying that the country should demilitarize police.
Also a visible change, which might not change things in terms of amounts of shootings would to have not just more black police, but possibly, ALL black police. The same thing for politicians and any kind of elected officials. Now people are probably black lives matter activists may be thinking "oh Carson won't help us." or "just because a politician is black doesn't mean that things will change necessarily."

But what if the goal was to get every office held by someone black. There are plenty of black people who could be police and elected officials who aren't of all sorts of ideologies. They aren't pushed forward because the assumption is whites won't vote for them and blacks won't necessarily vote for them or vote at all.
But what if all blacks consistently said, "We will only vote for a black candidate election after election until all positions are held by blacks, no matter what party or ideology." If you elect a black candidate that isn't good then for for another black candidate next time. Consistent voting like that in one direction will force all the parties to push forward a black candidate with their ideologies. Probably also black women in order to get the women's vote. Some people will cause this strategy racist. But, if the racism (or reverse racist or whatever) that is causing the deaths of young black  men is subconscious or a result of other factors then non blacks should have no problem voting for black candidates with ideologies they share, and so the parties and donors will be forced to push forward black candidates. If everyone is indeed consciously racist, then who cares?

Now about getting all black police or at least all police of color or a majority of police of color.

If you look at the security industry, i.e. the security guards who work on those tank like trucks filled with money or at banks or coast guard bases etc. how many of those type of uniformed enforcement are people of color? A great deal more than police. Also they are paid very little. If these private security companies did the majority of street policing it would save local governments a ton of money, and most of the security officers on the street would be people of color.


Real police would take a step back and simply oversee these police as managers. When one company begins to have too many incidents of police brutality that company is fired by the local government that hired them and a new company is hired. My mother worked with the tenants organization that hired security guards for the housing projects I grew up in. They displayed (not force) but jerkishness towards some teens. But the tenants had the power to simply fire these guys or get them fired and hire a different company. I.e. security would be forced to do their job well and for very little money because of competing companies. If one company gained a monopoly that would be a problem. In fact it would be the problem we have now. How hard is it to fire a cop? Apparently even killing someone doesn't mean you are let go. In what other job would that be true? If a bouncer or a security guard killed someone, the whole company could get in trouble.

So who would push for such a model except for black lives matter? The owners of said companies and there investors I.e. "the man" or a diverse version of the man. In other words by pushing for a model like this, instead of disrupting Bernie Sanders (who cares about him as a serious candidate?) you will have big money on your side.

Now after a majority of politicians are black and a majority of street security is done people of color, I'm sure there will still be issues. Probably not Michael Brown Eric Garner type of issues. Probably a lot of security officers (of color) will be killed by armed citizens and criminals or something. Or maybe there will be corruption or selling of drugs among the security officers but that happens now among police so that will not necessarily be a change for the worse.

Yes there will still be issues but you could try for that first. In fact the biggest beneficiary will be the owners of these companies and the government which can no longer get sued for police brutality, the private companies will be.

You could say the losers would be police but not necessarily. You will still need police to oversee the private security. Of course there will be major downsizing and these security jobs will not pay as well. But there will still be jobs if not more jobs for that police type.

You can change the world in this way, very quickly I think, but you will have to ally yourself with big business and go against unions. This means the rallies you should be interrupting, or at least pushing to speak at, are probably the rallies for the Republican party.
