The truth about cops killing blacks
wnd.com ^ | 7/7/2016 | Larry Elder

Posted on 07/07/2016 5:01:10 AM PDT by rktman

Where to start with actor Jesse Williams’ widely praised rant on police brutality and white racism delivered at this year’s Black Entertainment Television awards show?

To his enthusiastic audience, Williams reeled off lie after lie, all in the name of black “resistance” over the “oppressor” – meaning anyone he believes benefits from “this invention called whiteness.” Time magazine called his discourse “powerful.”

Where are fact-checkers when the fact-devoid desperately need fact-checking? After all, Williams practically begged to be fact-checked when he said, “What we’ve been doing is looking at the data, and we know that police somehow manage to de-escalate, disarm and not kill white people every day.”

The “police … manage to … not kill white people every day”?

Let’s start with 2014, the last year for which there are official records. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the police killed 261 whites and 131 blacks. The CDC also found that from 1999 to 2013, the police killed almost twice the number of whites compared to blacks, 3,160 and 1,724, respectively.

Well if you also calculate in the percentage of each set within the population.............. But thanks Mr. Elder for the input. There was a cop/latino shooting this past week in Reno but I haven't seen laraza out in the streets yet. Maybe because the perp was being pursued and aimed his mini-van at a cop while accelerating. There goes that "intent" thing again.

This is not a race issue. These people are out of control and treat the entire population like subjects of an occupied country.

I've concluded the LEO killing of ANYONE (except grossly obvious aggression against the cop) is the result of the conditioning fed a cop during training and while on the job.

I don't know what the answer is, but it's like a reverse psychology of our ROE .... warriors do not automatically shoot at the enemy but ask permission.

Leo's are taughtr and trained to suspect everyone (except muzzies, it seems) and have a trigger finger way too loose for too many relatively innocent behaviors ...

RELATIVELY .. I said.

“Many of them are simply not ready to live in civilized society”.............

Sad but very true. There are many “civilized” blacks but their numbers are few compared to the entire herd.

In America, selling CD’s or having a tail light out are capital offenses. Selling your political office to foreign entities for personal gain and giving away state secrets is “not a prosecutable offense.”

MEMO:

TO: ACORN and Black Lives Matter Field Offices
FROM: DNC

Subject: Pre-Convention Agenda Setting

It is imperative that we have a few high-profile police shootings of black youths between now and the Convention to reinforce a narrative that will drive black voters to the polls in November. Please use your connections to make every effort to ensure this happens.

“Well if you also calculate in the percentage of each set within the population”

Is that factoring in that blacks being 13% of the population, commit about 50% of the murders/violent crime in the United States?

Actually, when compared to the total number of public contacts police make, the number of shootings are negligible. That’s NOT to say that they aren’t important or that those shot aren’t important.

Any shooting should be, AND IS, thoroughly investigated!
BUT, the recent HIGHLY-INCREASED level of scrutiny that is foisted upon police decisions is simply unwarranted.

The man in Baton Rouge, Alton, was NOT fully restrained. And NONE of the videos, that I have seen, display with ANY certainty that his right hand (the side on which he was carrying his weapon) was restrained.

The shooting in Minnesota last night, man said he had a gun and then said he reached for his wallet. When you are carrying a weapon, you don’t MOVE without the police officer telling you EXACTLY what to do - period! That’s basic knowledge! Typically, they will have you EXIT the vehicle and THEY will remove the weapon from you. Again, BASIC knowledge.

Like Col. Allen West, Clarence Thomas, etc, etc.? Not all the people these knuckleheads blow away are black. And I still believe in those words in the Declaration of Independence about all people being created equal. Further, not a few of
those idiots who produce and listen to that vile rap crap are white.

Look at what happened to that farmer up in Washington state from Comfey’s FBI Gestapo. The farmer wasn’t black.

What some conservatives don’t seem to get is that we are drifting closer and closer to a militarized state where the lives of citizens are increasing threatened by a government and law enforcement establishment which thinks it can operate above the Constitution.

This is just another glaring example.

Thanx ... I appreciate your reply.

I never want to malign cops, because ... well ... it's a job I have never, nor ever would ... consider.

Such statistics can also be broken down with respect to economic status, so it's a little oversimplified to emphasize the racial distinction. There's not a causal relationship.

I cannot for the life of me, understand why blacks cannot learn that when a cop says sit, you should sit. If he says fetch, you should fetch. Why? Because he’s the man with the deadly authority of a police force behind him.

Trying to argue your way out of a situation with a cop is one of the most ignorant things a person can do. Trying to fight your way out of an arrest is one of the most stupid things you can do. There’s a damn good chance you may be signing you death warrant if you try to fight with or run from a cop.

When you have a cop that is nervous there’s a good chance he’ll kill you if you don’t do EXACTLY what he says.

Argue YOUR dissatisfaction before the Judge, not the cop and you won’t have any bruises or bullet holes in your body.

Not sure what you refer to in Washington state?? Look at the history of African leadership in our cities and around the world. Look at Barack Hussein, Mugabe, Coleman Young—the destroyer of Detroit, the new Orleans mayor, south Africa. And who is pushing for a militarized state—the black muslim and the Lynch bitch.

this leftist drivel has been promoted by the old media, I call BS. The average welfare demrat with a family of 4, lives far better than working stiffs in the 60s, and some better than today’s working class.

The rancher who was murdered by the FBI, shot with his hands in air after exiting his vehicle. Happened just a few months ago.
