All that kneeling ignores the real cause of soaring black homicides (Heather Mac Donald)
NY Post ^ | Heather Mac Donald

Posted on 09/30/2017 4:56:09 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

The FBI released its official crime tally for 2016 on Monday, and the data flies in the face of the rhetoric that professional athletes rehearsed in revived Black Lives Matter protests over the weekend.

Nearly 900 additional blacks were killed in 2016 compared with 2015, bringing the black homicide victim total to 7,881. Those 7,881 “black bodies,” in the parlance of Ta-Nehisi Coates, are 1,305 more than the number of white victims (which in this case includes most Hispanics) for the same period, though blacks are only 13 percent of the nation’s population.

The increase in black homicides last year comes on top of a previous 900-victim increase between 2014 and 2015.

Who is killing these black victims? Not whites, and not the police, but other blacks.

In 2016, the police fatally shot 233 blacks, the vast majority armed and dangerous, according to the Washington Post. The paper categorized only 16 black male victims of police shootings as “unarmed.” That classification masks assaults against officers and violent resistance to arrest.

Contrary to the Black Lives Matter narrative, the police have much more to fear from black males than black males have to fear from the police. In 2015, a police officer was 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male was to be killed by a police officer.

Black males have made up 42 percent of all cop-killers over the last decade, though they are only 6 percent of the population.

LOL @ that!

16 unarmed blacks that
1) were trying to grab officer’s gun
2) not complying with officers commands
3) making furtive movements putting cops in fear of life,
4) fleeing and creating a clear and danger to public
5) previously armed blacks who ditched their gun but the cops still thought they were armed.

The riots
The Kneeling
The constant race card being fed into their brains

Those reasons and many more phony reasons... totally fabricated by black leaders and million dollar celebrities give these thugs the idea they can do anything they want -— with ZERO consequences.

Most of the thugs would not be shot if they would simply respect the police commands.

So maybe those pro athletes should quit encouraging lawlessness.....because that is exactly what they are telling them.

That story about the boyfriend in the home who hit the 8 year old with a hammer and killed him while molesting the 7 year old sister keeps springing to mind.

“or not. Don’t underestimate the power of a bully with a badge. there have been instances of the cops shooting without reason and you all know it.“

Sure. But as a cause of death for black people? Statistically minuscule. Does it justify ignoring the actual causes of death for political purposes? Hell no.

“Black males have made up 42 percent of all cop-killers over the last decade, though they are only 6 percent of the population.”

It’s actually worse than this, black males between 16 and 30 make up only about 2 percent of the population. The 6 percent figure represents males between birth and 100+.

Form over substance: all problems blacks have are because of white racist and the narrative really is that whites will always be racist, concluding that there is and never will be a solution.

All I can figure is that it’s tribal thinking. Genetic and overwhelming. It’s permissible-even expected-to kill within the tribe(fellow blacks) but others, other tribes( whites/ police) are not allowed to kill for any reason. Justice WITHIN the tribe is shrugged off. Justice imposed from outside of the tribe is cause for war.
