What does #BLMKidnapping say about the Black Lives Matter movement?

#BLMKidnapping has been trending after a video was streamed live on Facebook showing a bound and gagged man being assaulted and abused for being white. Four people have been arrested for the attack in Chicago. What does this video say about the Black Lives Matter movement? People are saying the attack epitomises the movement they see as violent. Others say this attack has nothing to do with a peaceful civil rights campaign.
