The Numbers Are in: Black Lives Matter Is Wrong about Police

National Review ^ | 01/01/2015 | David French

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Using individual anecdotes of police misconduct and the now-discredited "hands up, don't shoot" rallying cry . . . .

What's next?

Just brandishing, don't shoot!

Black men face a unique and dangerous threat.
Yes it’s caused by each other see Chicago Detroit LA......

Criminals are overwhelmingly male (police killed very few women this year, but no one argues that law enforcement is sexist), and violent criminals are disproportionately black.

In fact, blacks "commit homicide at close to eight times the rate of whites and Hispanics combined." Even worse, "among males between the ages of 14 and 17, the interracial homicide commission gap is nearly tenfold."

The Washington Post has 'discovered' what everyone knows - BLM is wrong. Well, what everyone knows outside of DC liberal elites circles...

Maybe the Washington Post should research other areas of conflict between liberals and Conservatives... find out the truth for a change. Might turn 'em conservative.

Maybe the WaPo should research other areas of conflict between liberals and Conservatives.

No maybe about it.

Will the WaPo do what it should?

Like honestly report the news? No, this was an anomaly.

Good data to keep bookmarked.

BLM is a crock movement. It’s the culmination of race hustling shysters like Jackson and Sharpton.

[Dartman]

Police should get out of black neighborhoods.

Period.

[GOPJ]

Yeah, I can just imagine NBC doing one of their "exposes" about BLM. Right in the style that they do about conservative movements. We need an NBC reporter with a furrowed brown wondering "do these BLM protesters really have a legitimate beef, or are they all just far-left agitators who are really out to lunch?"

You know, like how they do conservative movements..."do these Tea Party people have a legitimate gripe about the growth of government, or do they just hate black people and want to reintroduce slavery and fascism?" I won't hold my breath waiting for NBC (or the other two) to tell the truth about BLM.

Can you imagine how pleasant it must be to be a liberal and have the whole culture back you up - always - even when you're totally wrong?

Why does the DOJ combine crime statistics for whites and Hispanics? Please tell me that my cynical guess is wrong.

[GOPJ]

Sad, but you could be right. A thumbsucker piece - something like this - that requires thought and time - isn’t affordable in papers that are downsizing and laying off reporters.

The odd thing is if they did MORE of these types of stories rather than drivel to support ‘white liberal elite’ memes - they could get their readers back..

LOL - your cynical guess is right... it's too keep whites from looking 'too' much better.

bump to the top

H/T to our FRiend SeekAndFind for the post, and to GOPJ for the ping.

A most interesting admission from about as official a set of sources as we can expect: the WaPo and the UK Guardian, the two Leftist mouthpieces most quoted by leftists.

Only thing is, THIS one won't be quoted by Leftists.

Can anyone here imagine the phone lines from the Rainbow Hut burning the WaPo editor's voicemail?

For thus has the Lord said unto me:
"Go, set a watchman, Let him declare what he sees."

A liberal victim group is actually a bunch of unethical liars? OMG - how can it be? /s

(The ONLY people shocked are gullible fools in the MSM)

[Bodleian_Girl]

Yeah, if they used that guy murdered by cops in Walmart they might have a leg to stand on.
