While police killings declined in the aftermath of Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests, a recent study found that there was a jump in homicides as police became “less proactive” due to worries about public perception and lawsuits.
The Sept. 14 study analyzed two major waves of BLM protests—those following the death of Michael Brown, from 2014 to 2015, and those following the death of George Floyd, from 2020 to 2021. Mr. Brown was an 18-year-old black man shot by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014. Mr. Floyd, 46, died after a white police officer knelt over his neck during an arrest in Minneapolis in 2020. The study analyzed how police treatment changed over a five-year period between the two protest waves.

In addition, property crime arrests fell by about 12 percent, and the property crime clearance rate—the number of cases solved by law enforcement—saw a “sharp decline” of 8 percent.

“No Tracking of Violent Protesters
During a House Oversight Hearing on counterterrorism on Sept. 29, 2021, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) asked Timothy Langan, assistant director of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division, about how the agency was dealing with groups like BLM and Antifa, a far-left extremist group.
Mr. Langan replied that the FBI does not classify them as “domestic terrorist” groups. Instead, BLM and Antifa are classified as “movements.” Neither of the groups are classified as “anti-authority” or “anti-government” organizations.
In an interview with Breitbart at the time, Ms. Mace called the revelation “shocking.”
“[The FBI was] telling all of America that they don’t track acts of violence by these violent groups. [It] is astounding, and further in that inquiry, the FBI then tell me that there are about 75 open cases of ‘anti-government-related’ categories,” she said.”
Anarchists aren’t anti-government? Next they’ll be telling me that Antifa isn’t anti-fascist.
The Democrat model is now the Maui model burn then grab land for Democrat redevelopment. urban design is the new hip degree in colleges. Destroy the suburbs with land grabs.
results - less criminals getting killed by police, but more innocent citizens being killed by criminals.
Fewer police killings but more killings of police.
” Mr. Floyd, 46, died after a white police officer knelt over his neck during an arrest in Minneapolis in 2020.”
He OD’d on several drug poisons. Guess that rag paper didn’t read the autopsy report.
Cops are in prison in the WORST miscarriage of justice in years.
So cops stopped shooting murderers... and the murderers then murdered more people...
Just as the Dems wanted. This makes the unthinking masses more pliant due to their fear... Keeps the campaign coffers full and the votes coming in... Even if their policies have the exact opposite effect from how they are billed...
YES, they are!
