Milwaukee County, Wis., Sheriff David Clarke on Tuesday addressed what he called a “myth” that police kill more black males than any other race in testimony at the House Judiciary Committee’s hearing titled, “Policing Strategies for the 21st Century.”

“It is a myth that police kill black males in greater numbers than anyone else,” Clarke said, citing statistics provided by the University of Toledo, which contrasts, what he called “the false narrative propagated by cop haters and the liberal mainstream media.”

The bottom line is police kill criminals. Black society has proven quite adept at creating criminals.

Dangling participle alert!

So, is it a myth that police kill more black males than they kill any other demographic,

or that something else besides police kills more black males?

True.

I was reading a FR thread about a month ago that had actual facts and stats that show the levels of violence and deaths have dropped quite a lot over the last several decades.

Yet, blacks being killed by cops is all we ever hear about. Why is that?

Easy answer: Because of racists like Barack, Al, Jesse, Eric and now Loretta.

444,000 blacks are killed every year in the US.

is it whitey? nope.
is it the gangs? nope.
is it drugs? nope.

444,000 blacks are killed every year... by their mother.

37% of the 1.2m abortions in the US are black

the most dangerous place in America sees 1 in 4 killed every year. it’s not chicago, detroit, or compton... it’s the womb.

The black community doesn’t want to hear the truth. They have been told that they are the victim of whitey so long that they are incapable of not being victims.

It’s not a myth... it’s an outright LIE!

Sheriff Clarke is one outstanding individual. He appears to have an abundance of integrity and backbone. He shredded Jeffries’ argument and responded quite well to the congressman’s attempts to derail the prime discussion. Well done, Sheriff!

Unfortunately, by him telling the truth, he will end up in hot water like Sheriff Arpaio.

It makes a difference that he speaks the truth... is separates him from known liars like ABC News... Hillary, the democrat Party, and NBC 'doctor the tapes' boys.

Indeed. I wonder who will be the first to launch an assault?

Shades of Nobel transistor prize winner Shockley who was ostracized by political hacks and the scientific community. Political correctness trumps scientific validity.
