BLM Protesters Rally for ‘Victim,’ Leave After Learning He Was White

Black Lives Matter protesters in Minnesota dropped to a knee and set off to march over a fatal police shooting — only to return when they learned it was a white carjacker who had fired at police, according to reports.

Dozens of people protesting outside Gov. Tim Walz’s mansion in St. Paul on Sunday were filmed by Fox 9 reporter Mitti Hicks as they knelt for a moment of silence over initial rumors about Sunday’s 3 p.m. fatal shooting.

“Protestors kneel after hearing there was an officer-involved shooting in Burnsville moments ago,” Hicks tweeted of the wild, caught-on-camera armed carjacking in the suburbs.

These idiots are being used to usher in a nationwide Federal police force with no accountability to the states or cities.

Think STASI or SS. The new iteration will be just as powerful, brutal and stifling.

Social media is a disease. That’s what’s driving and sustaining the new Stalinism. Everyone wants to post themselves being MLK junior for 15 minutes before they go back to tweeting about their favourite tv show again.

White lives don’t matter to the professional agitators

Or they, like many people on FR, know that you don’t have to look at the pictures to be right 90-95% of the time. If you bet on stereotypes, you will lose . . . sometimes. If you bet against stereotypes, you will go broke quick.

You are assuming that prey is hunted with a brass band. Admitted, that Democrats do not listen to warnings, HOWEVER!

You do not tell prey your intentions.

It's like syphilis, highly contagious and affects the brain.

At least, that’s all they did. The way those animals act, I’m surprised they didn’t kill him.

If a Jew had been killed the racist BLM would have cheered.

Watching on Twitch, I believe the carjack victim was a black female who was a retired Detroit police sergeant. She had a gun but apparently couldn’t get it fast enough.

One of the wacko commenters stated she was a Republican because she was wearing a red jacket.

White carjacker? — Eminem must be having trouble meeting his alimony payments.

A quick search shows this study of non-fatal car jackings 1993-2002 showing that victims identified the perp by race as:
- White: 21%
- Black: 56%
- Asian/Am. Indian: 16%
- Mixed/IDK: 7%

Somehow the victim characteristic yielded
- white: 15%
- black: 33%
- Hispanic: 26%
- Asian/other: 1%

Somehow, these numbers do not add up. Here’s why:

“About 63% of carjacking incidents occurred within 5
miles of the victim’s home”

Got it: urban. ‘Nuff said.

Stereotyping is a way to sort through information and is needed to make fast decisions that may save a life.
On the other hand people should be judged individually and not by their skin color.
Both scenarios are fair and just.
