Here are some of details and links which I couldn't include in detail in my article in @TheCriticMag

1. When Castro died in 2016, BLM founder Patrisse Cullors issued a tribute which incl thanks for harbouring police killers Finney, Goodwin & Hill. The men, in a car carrying weapons for a black revolutionary group, shot New Mexico officer Robt Rosenblum in a traffic stop
Roseblum left a wife and three-year-old and one-year old children. The men then then hijacked a TWA airplane and fled to Cuba. Finney boasted on the plane of killing 'a pig'. The TWA stewardess who had a knife held to her throat suffered years of PTSD. https://www.odmp.org/officer/11530-patrolman-robert-rosenbloom
And yet the founder of Black Lives Matter *paid tribute* to Fidel Castro for giving the killers asylum, a statement which is as morally bankrupt as one can be.

2. On Apr 4, 1970 Baltimore Police Office Donald Sager was sitting in his car writing a report when 3 Black Panthers including Eddie Conway fired multiple times into the car, killing him and severely injuring his colleague. He left a wife and child. https://www.odmp.org/officer/11692-police-officer-donald-w-sager
Conway was convicted of murder and imprisoned. In 2015, BLM had taken off and became the lead member of a new coalition, ‘Movement for Black Lives'. At their founding conference Conway was welcomed to the platform as a 'former political prisoner' of the US, a 'freedom fighter'.
Just clock that... Three men walk up a car in which two police officers are sitting writing reports & open fire multiple times and then become, in BLM's warped perspective, heroes to be feted & honoured.
It was a targeted assassination.
And they can't see what's wrong with that?

As my article explains, BLM is fundamentally an attempt to resurrect the Marxist black revolutionary politics in 21st century clothes. George Kennan's famous 1946 warning from Moscow about the left's methods of assault upon Western democracies rings just as true today too
Having dug deep for my research into BLM I ended up with too much material for one article - much of it pretty grim, some plain mad. I'll put some more details together and tweet them out to follow this in due course.
