'These communities are worse off because by (BLM) overemphasizing the role of police, they've changed police behavior for the worse,' the Manhattan Institute's Jason Riley says
The Black Lives Matter movement started a massive wave of Americans uniting to call for defunding the police and eradicating white supremacy to make positive changes for Black Americans. But experts reflecting on the movement’s scorecard in 2022 say Black America hasn’t benefited.
"I would argue that, on balance, these communities are worse off because by [BLM] overemphasizing the role of police, they've changed police behavior for the worse," the Manhattan Institute’s Jason Riley told Fox News Digital in a phone interview. "In other words, police do become more cautious. They're less likely to get out of their cars and engage with people in the community. And to the extent that police are less proactive, the criminals have the run of the place."
Riley noted that "police brutality still exists, bad cops exist," and he has no "problem with raising awareness about police misconduct." But he argued that BLM is "over-focused" on police and does not take into account that "97, 98% [of Black homicides] do not involve police at all."

'The thrill is gone...'
Only an ultra maga racist would say such a thing. /s
I think that was the whole idea.
You don't say.
I'd say police are taking matters into their own hands.
All calls to police from black areas should be re-directed to the nearest BLM office. Let them handle it.
Seems like some of the founding assclowns are doing pretty well. Right patrisse?
Since the violence from BLM started, I go out of my way to avoid any contact with African “Americans”. I use to be color blind, but not Im color sick.
That’s also why BLM targeted black owned businesses to burn down in Ferguson, Missouri.
Best case scenario is that BLM is a dem money laundering operation worst case is that it’s a soros /foreign money back terror organization. Neither one of those options ever were going to make life better for blacks
“Riley noted that “police brutality still exists, bad cops exist,” and he has no “problem with raising awareness about police misconduct.”
Odd how if one behaves and minds one’s own business he remains blissfully unaware of, and unbothered by police.
“BLM has left Black Americans worse off since the movement began, experts say”
MOST black Americans were worse off, but some got mansions...
BLM is Obama’s community organizing expressed nationwide. This is OFA/Acorn dressed up in race war costume.
A bunch of goons without an original thought who had to steal Hollywood’s “Straight Outta Compton” logo and make it their own. Maggots.
They certainly have the money to fund the social workers they want to go take care of police problems!
did anyone really think they’d improve things? Black Lies Matter was just a pack of grifters looking to become rich and maybe get some political power, sort of like a bunch of Al Shaprtons and Jessie Jacksons.
They are only able to destroy. So, how do you expect them to make things better?
That was the plan all along.

It was a Marxist/progressive organization designed to gin up anger in the black community keeping blacks on the democrat plantation and spreading chaos before the election. Organizers thought the chaos could be pinned on Trump but that failed when the corrupt mayors of democrat hellholes were correctly identified.
Also, it allowed BLM ‘founders’ to rip off guilty white idiots for mansions and the ‘good life’ — icing on the cake.
Who benefited? White liberal ‘elites’ and a few hundred blacks. Who was hurt? The rest of us.
I’m already past that. I’ve seen a LOT of sh*t at the train station where these ghetto animals are involved in 90% of the problems.
I could run a thread on Fr on what I saw in 15 years at the L.A. transit system and you would think I made it up..
if iM racist, so be it.
This is OFA/Acorn dressed up in race war costume.
You're right.
The corrupt press (that services the needs of white liberal 'elites') choose to believe them... and the butt boys in the FBI (who also service white liberal elites) - acted like they believed them.
Then again FBI thugs 'believed' that criminal Brown out of Ferguson - the start of the 'war on cops' that has murdered so many good people.
