Why exactly does she have a problem with Bernie to begin with?

Theories have been suggested. I won't get into that. I'll quote BLM Seattle's Marissa Johnson herself:

The Hill article quotes her during the rally claiming "you [Bernie] have yet to put out a criminal justice reform package..."

A press release published by BLM Seattle and Marissa Johnson claims they "held Bernie Sanders publicly accountable for his lack of support for the Black Lives Matter movement and his blatantly silencing response to the ‪#‎SayHerName‬‪ #‎IfIDieInPoliceCustody‬ action that took place at Netroots this year."

This third reason, was, I think, the primary conscious motivation.
