Martin O’Malley Tells National Urban League: ‘Black Lives Matter’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

"And how together we can make real the promise of equal protection under the law? When I ran for mayor of Baltimore as a long-shot candidate in 1999, it was not because our city was doing well. Despite many well-intentioned efforts, our city had become the most violent, most addicted and most abandoned city in America. Every year we bury 300 young black men who die of violent deaths on our streets. And black lives matter." (Applause)
