Stacey Abrams: Police Are Widely 'Murdering' Black People

Stacey Abrams has weighed in on the "defund the police" movement with a remark seemingly crafted to score brownie points for Joe Biden's running mate pick.The Democrat was asked on CNN about her thoughts on defunding the police.

One would have to use a scanning electron microscope to find her brain...

Only thing Stacey Abrams knows is how to make pancakes.

And sammiches.

[snarkytart]

The LIES!! Of course nobody ever points out the real stats.

[ridesthemiles]

PROVE IT, BITCH.

"Police are widely "Murdering" Black People"

I will apologize in advance because I know many you have already seen these graphics posted, but we need to have these graphics at our fingertips.

Not for the Leftists, on whom reason and logic are abhorred and ignored.

It is for those people who may simply be ignorant, and suck up what they see on television. Some of those people might be reachable.

Here is the one graphic that lays the groundwork for EVERYTHING that follows:

So just look at that graphic above. Look at it.

Think about it. Imagine a society where only 100 people live. Think of a plane crash, and 100 people survive in some place cut off from the world.

In that secluded society of 100 survivors, SIX people commit nearly HALF the violent crime. The murders. The rapes. Beating people up. Robbing them of their food or belongings. Six people rampaging through this small community. Imagine in a normal world, if you lived in a community and six people commit half the violent crime...what would happen? Likely, those six people would be banished...if they made it out of town. Especially after committing violence against someone who is well known or loved by someone.

What makes this far, FAR more startling is that of the six out of 100 men...it isn't actually all of them. It is only one third of them or TWO people out of that 100 people in that society (according to a study by a very Leftist organization that probably wants that number inflated...so for the sake of balance, let's say it is only ONE out of every six black males who have a felony criminal record.)

To put that in perspective, it could be at the very least, just one black man, or two black men who might be responsible for nearly half the crime. (Note that I make the assumption that in all of this that there is no easy way to tell which one or two men out of six is really murdering, raping, assaulting, or robbing people in this small society. This is where increasing the volume (going from "6 in 100") to ("600 out of 10,000") makes the point. If you are the police, responding, it isn't "John" as it might be in a 100 person society, it becomes looking for someone who looks like "John".

This is important and is likely to be overlooked by some:

In the point I am making, I am not advocating violence against blacks. Far from it.

In the point I am making, I am advocating the application of context to ANY police interactions in light of this "6 out of 100" statistic.

Now imagine in this same scenario, some percentage of the other people have asked you to find out who is causing the issue and "police" it. In that small community, the guy policing it will likely find out pretty quickly who it is and they would be gone.

In a city of 100,000 people, there is some percentage of 6000 men who could be responsible for a crime. But what if you lived in a city like Memphis, Tennessee where the percentage of blacks is 45 percent, meaning 22.5% of the total population are black men. You aren't looking at 6000 men, you are looking at 22,000 men, some portion of them who might be chronic law breakers. In the previous example lets take a quarter of them, and assume that out of that 22,000, 5,500 of them have had a felony conviction of some kind.

And here is the point I am trying to make: with numbers that high accounting for nearly half of all crime, the negative interactions with the police are going to be far, far more numerous as a percentage of the total than the non-black population. And if there were really an epidemic of black men being killed by the police due to an inbred racism baked into Law Enforcement, wouldn't the numbers below be far, FAR higher, both as a total, and as a percentage as the graphics show below from federal crime statistics (Statistics by Heather MacDonald of the WSJ, and presentation of her data are screen captures of Bill Whittle from his "Black Lives Matter Kills People" video.)

In all of this, it unfairly lumps in many black men who work, raise families, pay taxes, and go to church with men who are the scum of society. Unfortunately, that is what happens with police, since they are called on to interact negatively with a small percentage of the population, since they don't have the luxury of being able to see into a man's soul. They have to deal with what is laid on the table. The Left may call that discrimination which is what they do, but they always characterize it without context...often deliberately.

Nailed it. They don’t care about blacks, or the country. They just want mob rule.

[rlmorel]

And talking to them is like teaching a pig to sing.

[rey]

Would you provide a link to that, please?

[rey]

Never mind. Figured it out.

[Deplorable American1776]

Widely murdering black folks? If you don't resist, you wouldn't be shot. If you don't take a taser from an officer, you wouldn't be shot.

Stacy, I heard you and an Abram Tank collided and the tank was totalled.

[rlmorel]

Absolutely: Here is the website home page:
FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Statistics

And here is a link to the specific page:
FBI UCR Crime page

When you get to this page, be sure to go to the second table down and change the menus to display as I did:

Those graphics might look fine on a phone screen, but they are really tiny on a pc and as such unreadable.

[Joe Boucher]

Why o why does the media give a platform to this stoopid?

[rlmorel]

You are correct, PIF, and that is my fault completely.

Thank you for politely pointing that out.

I had enlarged the scaling of my web browser because I was having trouble reading them, and when I placed them, they looked way too big so I scaled them down...my apologies. Here they are at the resolution I intended them at:

[rlmorel]

I forgot the most important one:

[Toespi]

More dangerous and irresponsible statements from supposed black leaders. Yesterday, there was a thread regarding the criminal record of “a” Rayshard Brooks, which included at least three charges of incidents with police. In fact, since we have NOT heard from the media that Brooks DID NOT have a criminal record, is indicative, that he did. Release of this information will settle these liars down real fast.

She want to “reallocate” funds.

[central_va]

I think she’s sorta hot

In a hippo kind of way.

[central_va]

If they remake “Gone With the Wind” she would be perfect for the Mamie part for sure.

I’m just thinking out loud here but I’ve seen a lot of studies showing a correlation between poverty and violent crime. The black poverty rate is around 20%, while the white poverty rate is 10%.

If there is a linear progression you would expect to see twice the violent crime rate in blacks than whites. It’s obviously either not linear or there are other factors causing the increase in black crime. Or a combination of the two.
