Great post James. Great post.
I have worked all over the Midwest and upper Midwest for nearly 20 years. The cops in Detroit are mostly black. They get the same push back that white cops do but you know what? The media NEVER promotes and propagandizes it when a black cop shoots a black suspect. Armed or unarmed.
Now with the recent surge in violence due to the BLM movement there have been a few instances where the cops had to defend their actions. Most if not all cities in the Midwest have cameras and they are active from sign on to sign off. It has save many officers' jobs.
I have tried to post a screen shot from a statistic from Fox News yesterday but my computer is not cooperating.
Since January until April 12, 2021 police shootings:
Black - Total 52 Unarmed 3White - Total 109 Unarmed 5So....let me ask my friends on the left this. Do you think that these numbers indicate that the "black community" should cower in fear when walking out their doors worrying about Law Enforcement Officers hunting them down?
How many of those white people shot were shot by black or officers of another race?
There isn't a policing problem. There is a media narrative problem. There is a Marxist BLM problem that was instituted by former President Obama. FACT.
The number of white individuals shot by police on a yearly basis is double, sometimes more than double, that of the number of blacks. Before you say there are more white people let me stop you. Yes there are. But again, blacks make up for 13% of the population and 55% of all murders. So take your statistics however you want them. Facts are facts.
Whites are shot at a much higher rate than blacks full stop.
Here are is an interesting read. I will openly resign from this board, never to return, if anyone on the left can dispute the facts and statistics presented in this article. Please provide your sources and fact based information. And CNN, MSNBC etc...doesn't count!
