Geez. I guess, despite the claims by #blm being for ALL lives, apparently, white lives don't matter all that much huh. Besides, that info doesn't fit the victimhood narrative.

5 killed and 8 wounded in Chicago on Monday...

My guess is both victims and shooters were all black...

Another guess is no cops were involved...

This guy?

He's just a good 'ol boy from down south.

Did the article consider the ratio of black to white in the population?

[econjack]

The exceedingly inconvenient fact of the matter for the “cops are preying on black men” narrative is that far more whites than blacks are killed in confrontations with police. Last year, in fact, it was roughly twice as many.

This entire article:

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/440361/police-shootings-black-vs-white-narrative-vs-fact

is a well-reasoned discussion of the position the media is trying to sell versus the actual statistics behind it. The usual argument trotted out by the media is the percentage of the US population versus the black population and the resulting ratios. The article correctly points out that police do not interact with the total population but with that portion engaged in illegal acts. Black males are over-represented in that population, but that fact is ignored because it doesn't feed the media position.

The dominant news media just seldomly take the time to highlight the cases of whites or Hispanics being killed.

Or of the fact that black violent crime is hugely disproportionate.

[jeffc]

he declared that "it's going to have to take a series of white Americans shot and killed in a similar fashion for America to deal with this issue."

Proof that the "media" know what they're doing when they do NOT report some things. It helps their narrative....

[onedoug]

Whatever you do, don’t ever attempt to waive down the police with a towel.

What people of this ilk are unaware of is a very long list . . .

[JimRed]

It doesn’t fit the narrative. So it has no business in the story.

Here's the difference between us and the black community: if a cop kills a white criminal white people say, "Crime's a dangerous career - guy made a stupid choice" or 'good riddance' or "Hope the cop's safe - no one wants to kill another person'.

In short, white people don't stand with criminals just because they have white skin.

If the black community STOPPED standing with their criminals they'd be better off - and fewer of their children would go into crime. (oh - and statistically a black persons chance of being shot by a cop goes waaaaay up if the cop is black)

[PapaBear3625]

only about one in four criminal suspects killed by police are black.

Meanwhile, blacks account for over 50% of homicide arrests and robbery arrests. This indicates that cops are trying really hard to avoid shooting blacks, for fear of causing a riot.
