Anti-Trump Black Lives Matter supporters took to the streets of Chicago on Friday to disrupt Black Friday shopping and used the hashtag #CPACNOW to promote their efforts online. Don’t they know that name’s taken?
#blacklivesmatter in Chicago are using #CPACNOW as their hastag.
CPAC is well known to stand for Conservative Political Action Committee.— A.P. Dillon ? (@APDillon_) November 25, 2016
Sheesh. Their CPAC stands for the Civilian Police Accountability Council ordinance which BLM is trying to get passed to oversee the Chicago Police Department.
Anyway, Fox News reported that their protest fizzled and ended early because of cold weather:
