Nonexistent War on Cops and the Myth of the Epidemic of Unarmed Black Men Being Gunned Down by Cops
IWB ^ | Bob Shanahan

In March, Sacramento police officers shot and killed 22-year old Stephon Clark who was holding nothing other than a cell phone. The cops thought he had a gun and he was running through the neighborhood smashing car windows and breaking sliding glass doors and he was high on a number of drugs. The protests afterward shut down a freeway and city streets, barred Sacramento Kings fans from entering the arena, and resulted in smashed car windows and other vandalism.

In July 2016, Michah Johnson ambushed and fired upon a group of cops in Dallas, killing five and injuring nine. Johnson was inspired to attack over the media’s perpetuation of the “nonstop” police shootings of black men. He stated he wanted to kill white people, particularly white police officers.

he Dallas assault on police officers is used by pro-cop activists as evidence of a war on cops. The Michael Brown, Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, and Stephon Clark shootings in recent years are used by Black Lives Matter and others as evidence of the cops gunning down unarmed black men across America. Both are dangerously false and demonstrably divisive.

Ah, the old “both sides are to blame” fallacy.

The 1980-2008 statistics cited in the article do not mean much. All people will say is that these are old statistics and tell you to get lost.

If your computer can open this Microsoft Power Point presentation go to this very thorough presentation that has 2012 statistics (you will have to copy and paste the link):

Follow the cops orders explicitly or face the consequences.

I’m still waiting for Snopes to debunk the hands up don’t shoot narrative. But hell is more likely to freeze over, or more unlikely the Mets have a better shot at the World Series, than Snopes showing that level of intellectual honesty.
