At the Netroots Nation convention in Arizona this past weekend, #BlackLivesMatter protestors interrupted a presidential town hall featuring former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley and Sen. Bernie Sanders to demand more governmental protection and attention be paid to African Americans, specifically those who have died in police custody.
