On 18 October, black 29-year-old Jermaine Jones was standing with a few friends on a street in Berkeley, next to Ferguson, Missouri, when he was shot dead.
Three witnesses - his black friends, also wounded - told the police that an unknown black male fired shots at them.
Jones’s sister, Margaree Dixson, was also fatally shot a half-mile away a few hours earlier, and the police suspect another unidentified black man for her murder too.
Why aren't Ferguson protesters who are holding banners saying "Black deaths matter" protesting these African-American siblings' deaths? Because they were caused by fellow blacks and not white cops.
Fox News contributor Deroy Murdock has created the chart above, based on FBI figures and research by University of Missouri–St. Louis criminologist and former LAPD officer David A. Klinger.
From 2003 through 2012, Klinger counts 1,265 murders in his city. In about 90% of cases the murder victims were black.
Among these 1,138 decedents, roughly 90 percent (1,025) were slain by other blacks. Klinger found 32 blacks killed by cops, with 22 of them shot dead by white officers. So, across 10 years, white cops killed a whopping 2 percent of St. Louis’s black homicide victims. Investigations indicated that all of these police killings were legally justified.“While I understand the people are concerned about the use of deadly force by the police, by far — about 50 to 1 — more blacks in St. Louis are killed by other blacks as compared to white police officers,” Klinger told KMOX-TV.
Math be rasis!
My dad worked in a maximum security prison. Nothing bothered him more than how blacks in power treat other blacks.
Black on black killing does not advance Democrat’s agenda. So, its, “Oh, well.”
That’s awesome.
And then only before elections.

The interesting thing about Ferguson is that it is both a distraction and a walking, talking, cursing, rioting, looting demonstration of the problems in the poor black community. The distraction being that the white police are some how to blame when the only reason they are there in the communities is because of the level of crime in those communities.
The media and Hollywood tell us that the majority of blacks are family oriented and more noble than those of Jewish or European heritage. Movies like The Help, Twelve Years a Slave, and others preach that to us,day and night. Yet rape, murder, abortion, child abuse, drug abuse, fraud, theft, violent crime, and racism are most prevalent in their households.
Combine the way the left ignores these numbers with the statistics on black abortions, and it’s clear who the real racists are.
By the way, where's the looting?
