The Ferguson Collapse: Evidence discredits the racism narrative

National Review ^ | 10/25/2013 | The Editors

About one hundred black perps are shot and killed by leos every year. That means a little more than one every three days. It's guaranteed there will be another shooting of a black thug er excuse me suspect in the near future.

The black "community" will scream and jump up and down about another illegal shooting by a racist white cop killing an innocent black angel. The fanatics for truth will dig and find out that the black angel was far more a thug than an angel. Just like Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and Vonderitt Myers.

When you throw that statistic up against the number of young black males shot to death by other young black males you begin to see the real problem in the black community. There is an unacceptable level of violence being perpetrated against black males. But they're literally killing themselves. The next time you hear someone complaining about the "conspiracy" against young black males throw this little fact at them. You'll get one of two responses:

#1- you a racist.

#2- Angry dirty look, followed by the person walking away mumbling because nothing in their game plan had anything to do with their argument being successfully refuted.

It's a crazy world when you go to lib forums and they have threads about the fear of black kids walking down the street because of evil, white policemen gunning them down by the score every day. You want to grab these people by the shoulder and show them the stats.

But being a liberal means seeing a different version of reality. Of course, they want to keep the evil, racist cop killing innocent black children narrative going for political reasons. Those are the white libs.

But obviously many average black people really believe their kids are more likely to be killed by white cops than the black male next door. But the latter is the truth. Liberals can't deal with the truth.

That’s a number worthwhile of remembering. But do we know if that is the total for all LEOs, or just the number for white LEOs? I’d bet that in the majority-black inner cities, a significant number of those shootings are a black LEO and a black suspect. You won’t hear a peep from Not-So-Sharpton et al about those.

[Shery]

It won’t matter what the grand jury in Ferguson finds. The rest of the country will only constantly hear that a white officer killed a black ‘gentle giant’ for no reason.

[Celtic Conservative]

Most liberals live in a reality of their own making, or as We here in the midwest call it a “delusion”. They say to themseles “if only A and B and C were to happen this would be a wonderful world”. The problems start when all their wishful thinking and moonbat plans fail to bring about the utopia they’ve envisioned. Then they have to find someone to blame. Of course since they are emotionally immature the idea of blaming themselves is simply impossible. So they project the blame and failure upon others. Usually the people who dared to tell them they were full of shit to begin with, IOW conservatives. You can’t deal with people rationally if being irrational is a fundamental part of their worldview.

Funny how most of the eye witnesses failed to hear a pistol discharged twice in a vehicle with one window all the way down.

A dead rioter starts no fires.

Whatever happened to “Inciting to riot” ?

Seems to me the race hustlers, media and certain “lawyers” should be held accountable.

Is there no such thing anymore?

As long as they’re killing each other nobody reall cares too much - myself included. They’re not really adding anything valuable to civilized society - kinda like clutter or dust bunnies -

[driftless2]

I’ve been on the internet trying to find out about that. Not a lot of info about it, but it’s certain a fair share of black thugs are shot and killed by black leos. So maybe the solution is to have mostly black areas policed by black leos. But they would for sure cry racism if whites demanded mostly white areas be policed solely by white leos. My own feeling is that the whining will never stop.

Michael Brown’s death, unfortunate though it was...

Matter of opinion.

[trebb]

The Washington Post reports that “seven or eight African American eyewitnesses have provided testimony consistent with Wilson’s account”

They better hope that Sharpton, Holder and company don't get wind of who they are. Heck, Brown's mama kicked grandma's ass, no telling what she would do to these uncle and auntie Toms...

Black Freedom Fighters in Ferguson: Some of Us Are Queer

If the local jurisdiction decides against indicting the officer criminally, can’t the state of Missouri or the federal govt. do so?

And of course the family can file a civil lawsuit, as in the case of Orenthal J. Simpson.
