The article is long, but a good read.

This article does not meet the standards of the Ministry of Truth and will, therefore, not be reported by the MSM.

How DARE you cite facts at a time like this? All that matters is the narrative, dammit. Facts just confuse things.

. . . if you want to avoid dying at the hands of the police, remember what your mom said, and simply and politely do what the police tell you to do.

Problem is, from what I've read and observed, a lot of Black parents aren't saying this to their kids--Quite the opposite, in fact.

The ignoramus in the Oval Office isn't helping matters either.

First, there were 990 fatal police shootings in 2015. How does this compare to other causes of death?

More people than that are killed while clipping their fingernails.

Numbers don’t matter to those who are unable to think or reason.

From another of one of my posts:

During the 4-year period of 2009-2012, a total of 56,259 homicide victims were reported in the U.S. 1,491 were the result of police use of force. Of the 1,491 persons that died from police use of force, 915(61.4%) were white males and 481 (32.2%) were black males. That is 120 black males a year. To put it into perspective, 373 persons are struck by lightning in the U.S. each year and between 40 to 100 deaths annually from insect-sting-related anaphylaxis.

So why is this overblown reaction to these black male deaths by cop? When you take into consideration that the majority of them are justified, it puts them into to catagory of deaths by bee sting. I know. I know. We better round up all those pesky bees.

In the 70s and 80’s southern sheriffs tried to falsely imprison or kill lots of white young people from the city but they were usually able to get away in their hot rods after escaping from jail. At least, according to the movies I saw at the drive in during those years.

There is a very prominent young black economics professor at Harvard—I think maybe the youngest black to receive tenure there—who did a study with similar results. Essentially cops are more fearful of the impact of shooting blacks and so more hesitant to do so, even in threatening situations.

However, apparently there is more gruff treatment of black suspects than white suspects. It is just that they are more likely to shoot and kill the white suspects.

It is extremely rare for women, because the overwhelming majority of those killed by police were men.

Next, police get in trouble for not killing enough women.

Jesse Jackson was just pounding Cavuto this afternoon about “how would you feel if as many white men were being shot by police every year as are black men being shot” - I guess Neil should feel twice as outraged.....
