Facts? Don't progressives determine what facts are? Or is it the media? In many ways we seem to be moving to a fact free political and media system. Or perhaps facts disputed, multiple fact systems to be disputed on the air and on the web. Not necessarily a bad thing, but facts. Facts are from Walter Cronkite's day.

According to the Washington Post, just 16 unarmed black men out of a population of more than 20 million were killed by the police in 2016 down from 36 the year before. These figures are numerically comparable to the number of black men that could be struck by lightning in any given year, Lemoine calculates, and they include cases in which the shooting was justified, even if the person killed was unarmed.
And speaking of facts, I'm amazed lightening fatalities are recorded by race.

Actually, in the last two years crime has started trending up again. IMHO, the main reasons are the war on the police and liberal fools like Bloomberg ending the broken windows policies that brought crime down in the first place.

I have seen one video of what I considered an unjustified police shooting of a young black criminal who was not threatening police. That police officer was convicted of murder.
I know of 5 Dallas police officers killed at a BLM protest march. The police are killed for no reason other than hate far more than I have seen blacks unjustifiably killed by police.

Obama was the first 'post-racial' President. Obama was going to cure the Earth of climate change, and move America onto a new, better, more perfect path!
What happened? It couldnt be that Obama wasnt perfect - hes the messiah!
The only explanation is the everyone who isn't black, is a RACIST!!

Black people say white people don't know how cops treat black people.
Isn't it also true that black people don't know how cops treat white people? Sounds like it is true. I guess black people aren't special after all.

Facts? Don't progressives determine what facts are? Or is it the media? I sometimes get confused over whether the media are the dem's sycophants or whether they are the actual leaders of the party. There is no doubt they try to set national perception.

VERY well written article with thorough research by this doctoral candidate. I hope his article will not jeopardize his doctoral aspirations OR his future employment in his chosen field.
Too bad it will not be publicized by the media or any group who could influence people’s current ideas about racism in our country.

I know FAR more officers that have saved black lives than have taken one.

Think of ANY problem we face as a Society. Crime. The failing Middle Class. Kids with no Daddies raising them. Poverty. Drug Abuse. Failing infrastructure. College Brainwashing. Blacks killing Blacks on a daily basis. Tax Dollars wasted through fraud & abuse.
First, it’s 99.999% the FAULT of the Progressive Communists and their policies.
Secondly, we can blame the spineless GOPe weenies that have ALLOWED the Progressive Communists to pretty much run wild for 50+ years.
Those are some insurmountable odds when one or both parties are making money off of all of the social ills THAT THEY CREATED IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Nice work if you can get it. *SPIT*
I have no answers, other than more men like President Trump being added to the mix. *SHRUG*

The Truth About Police Violence Against Black Men-Facts are stubborn things
The Black Riots that began in St. Louis was pure unadulterated destroying of personal property, overturning police cars, starting fires, looting, and breaking windows.
The Police started using a lot of tear gas canisters and pepper spray and the black protestors were stopped. Then the white female mayor said the police were using very aggressive techniques against the blacks.
The Blacks in St. Louis started to riot in downtown St. Louis. We are very tired of this continued same behavior from our black brethren period.

Facts.
This is not about facts.
Its about Obama and his Saul Alinsky community organizers motivating their movement to violence.
In short, the left under Obama’s sub rosa organizing are trying to exercise a coup on the USA. Period.
Think about it We have so called sanctuary cities who refuse to comnply with federal law, and Chicago is a war zone. Obama and his Alinsky crowd want to bring it all to every corner of America.
We must fight them hammer and tongs.
I have shut of the NFL completely. It does not exist in my books.
Facts are useless unless they are used to ATTACK the left.Shine the light of day on them and ridicule them. Notice any media organizations willing to do that?
The fats in the fire. We will fight them in the streets.And we will win.
