Heather MacDonald quote:

the evidence does not support the charge that biased police are systematically killing Black Americans in fatal shootings.

Much of modern policing is driven by crime data and community demands for help. The African American community tends to be policed more heavily, because that is where people are disproportionately hurt by violent street crime. In New York City in 2018, 73% of shooting victims were Black, though Black residents comprise only 24% of the city’s population.

Nationally, African Americans between the ages of 10 and 34 die from homicide at 13 times the rate of white Americans, according to researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Justice Department.

Community requests also determine police deployment, and the most urgent requests often come from law-abiding residents of high-crime neighborhoods.

We won’t be seeing the type of rioting we did for say George Floyd because the cops were all black.

Isn’t that in some weird way in and of itself, well.....racist?

The far left really doesn’t want to protest and riot against police injustice to make improvements. They want revolution leading to civil war and a new socialistic system. The injustice of our supposed systemic racist system is just a red herring. Really a tool to create subversion leading to war. 211-A191-D-5-D3-C-49-D8-B21-A-CCA79773798-F

One has to wonder why the body cam footage was released on Friday yet no dash cam footage to ascertain initial probable cause for the stop/assault. Thugs are gonna thug no matter.

Regardless, Pfizer was knocked off the front pages. Things that makes one go Hmmmmmmmm.

The African American community tends to be policed more heavily, because that is where people are disproportionately hurt by violent street crime.

Yet they still use the race card to cover up the black leaders
failure’s to protect them.
The last black cops on blacks they still say it’s a white racism issue and the media are fueling the fire.
