NightSide - Is The Black Lives Matter Movement Racist?

BOSTON (CBS) - Police and protesters have been clashing across the country since two videos of black men being shot by police were shared on social media last week. Then, on Thursday night, the city of Dallas erupted in chaos as a sniper shot and killed five cops, wounding seven more during a Black Lives Matter protest. Dallas Police Chief David Brown is pleading for peace, most recently asking protesters to join the force rather than simply complain from the outside. Bristol County Sheriff Tom Hodgson sits down with Dan to talk about the tragic events of the past week from a law enforcement officer's perspective. Do you think there is a war on cops in this country? Is the message of the Black Lives Matter movement inherently racist?
