Truth about young black men and police shootings

Tensions are still high in Ferguson, Mo., after the Aug. 8 police shooting of Michael Brown. On Friday, it was reported forensics showed Brown’s blood was on both the inside of police officer Darren Wilson’s car as well as Wilson’s gun. The gun had also been fired twice within the car. This evidence hardly squares with early witness accounts that Brown was shot with his hands in the air while he was surrendering.

With forensic evidence finally coming in, Officer Wilson’s shooting Brown is looking as if it were justifiable self-defense. But that hasn’t stopped people from making it a racial issue.

How to lie with statistics. Propublica and Slate prove they have an agenda with a misleading, incorrect article on police killing black teens at a far higher rate than white teens. Of course their fellow travelers at the NY Times and Atlanta newspaper ran with the story with no effort to fact check any of the inflammatory statements. It all fits their agenda.

Did someone say they cared about the truth?

I didn't hear anything about that.

The leftist press and their blissfully ignorant readers don’t care about facts, only their agenda.

Do these race grievance types care about the truth? Or just look for any reason to whip people into a frenzy? And are the rioters just all too eager to have an excuse to have a riot???

And this agenda is nothing new.

For example, Rodney King was always described as a “motorist”. How many of you know that Rodney King was a suspect in a crime, and led police on a high speed chase going over 100 mph? How many of you know that he was high on drugs, and was resistant to less stringent means of being subdued than the beating with nightsticks which we saw over and over on TV?

How many knew of the complete story of Rodney King, and how many just saw him being beaten down with the sticks, and concluded there was no reason to do that to apprehend a “motorist” who had not done anything to draw attention from police? They gave the impression he had been pulled over for a speeding ticket and was not resistant to police at all.

Unfortunately, we live in a time when “facts” are subjective, depending on your closely held agenda.

Each day, we seem to become more and more divided predominately along class lines between the productive taxpayers and the dependent “entitled” who see criminality as just another way to augment income.

And if you can twist the truth to support the claim of racism, so be it. More free stuff and less accountability is the inevitable outcome.

Wow... really?

Of course, if you presented those stats to a lefty, they’d still blame society (ie, YT) for “causing” them to commit the crime.

There is something seriously wrong in cultures that produce those kind of crime stats.

Fifty years ago I moved from a "diversified" NYC suburb to a "non-diversified" Rochester NY suburb.
For the next 35 years it was the best place to live and raise a family.
Since the mid-late '90s, the town has become "diversified," and with that, is slowing becoming what all "diversified" inner cities look like today.

Remember the “working definition” of “diversity”...

It does NOT mean a representative mix of ethnicities and cultures.

It just means fewer white people, less Western Culture.
The fewer and less, the more “diversity” exists.
