The Myth of the Police Killing ‘Epidemic’ … Imagine That’s Its a MSM Fabricated Lie?

 

IMAGINE THAT, THE DEMOCRAT, LIBERAL MEDIA COMPLEX IS LYING TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC …

Check out the story from the NY Post that debunks the media reports that there is currently a police killing epidemic. In the end, the moral of this story is: Don’t point a gun at the cops and don’t run when they tell you stop, and you’re likely to survive.

Law enforcement

To hear the media tell it, America is in the grip of an unprecedented crime wave, an orgy of wanton murder in which heavily armed thugs randomly gun down innocent unarmed people, some of them teens, just for sport.

Except that these homicidal goons are wearing the blues and badges of American police departments.

It’s the narrative that’s given rise to the protest movement Black Lives Matter and to a growing public mistrust of the police in general. From Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., to the recent shooting of a middle-aged woman and a teen in Chicago, the body count seemingly keeps rising, exacerbating racial tensions and keeping the nation on edge. And each incident is breathlessly reported by a media determined to show that America remains deeply, irredeemably racist.

Problem is, it’s simply not true.

Last week, The Washington Post published a study of the police shootings that took place in 2015. Likely they intended the story to be shocking — as on Dec. 24, 965 people were killed by police! Instead, the report quells the notion that trigger-happy cops are out hunting for civilian victims, especially African-Americans. Among its key findings:

  • White cops shooting unarmed black men accounted for less than 4% of fatal police shootings.
  • In three-quarters of the incidents, cops were either under attack themselves or defending civilians. In other words, doing their jobs.
  • The majority of those killed were brandishing weapons, suicidal or mentally troubled or bolted when ordered to surrender.
  • Nearly a third of police shootings resulted from car chases that began with a minor traffic stop.

      I learned how poor the reporting of the MSM Media was in the 1950′s. They always have an agenda in their stories. The truth or actual facts are always skewed to match the agenda.

      The black community has a problem of behavior that has affected their citizenship in any country they reside. This has existed for thousands of years.

      There are still some black families in the USA that meet the norms of civilized society, but they are few compared to the total population.

      Police officers on patrol should be respected by everyone. Their job is tough enough without having people with an agenda inserting themselves into the law enforcement task.

      Agreed on MSM lies.

      Back in the early 1980′s I served on a Federal Grand Jury as Co-Forman. We were instructed by the Judge to not speak to the media. Upon exiting the Fed building at the end of one day of hearings we were swarmed with press. We all refused to speak as instructed.

      When I got home and turned on the local news, I saw pictures of several of the Grand Jury members leaving the building, not speaking, followed by film of a man leaving the Fed Court/Post Office building and followed to his car by the press repoter. Then the reporter stated that Mr. XXX of YYY Company testified in front of the Grand Jury today. Apparently they took his car license tag and traced it to him.

      ABSOLUTELY FALSE. HE NEVER TESTIFIED TO US IN THE 18 MONTHS OF GRAND JURY TESTIMONY ON WHICH I SERVED. HIS FIRM WAS INDICTED BY OUR GRAND JURY,LATER TRIED & FOUND GUILTY BY THE FEDERAL JURY.

      Never trusted the media since then.

      If all you can do is call people a racist for their opinion, you will be deleted. Maybe try actually provide some substance.

      Chris Rock does a talk “how to not get your azz kicked by the police” (look at it on you tube) that is both hilarious and true. If you are obeying the law and doing what you are instructed to do by police, you will be ok. If not, then guess what.

      Instead of calling people racist, maybe you could share an actually thought, if you are capable. Call people racist again and you will be banned. You actually have no clue what racism truly is and your willingness to call everything it, does no help to anyone.

      Make a comment and you will have it posted. Do not tell some one what they must do on their own site. You can go elsewhere. How about you actually take the time and effort to do this yourself, instead of just just being miserable?
