Violent Criminals, Not the Police, Pose the Real Threat to African-Americans

The Black Lives Matter movement has dangerously distorted the reality of policing, crime, and race. It is other black civilians, not the police, who overwhelmingly perpetrate violence in poor, minority communities. Sadly, the fierce hostility currently directed at law enforcement in the streets has led officers to back off of proactive policing in the neighborhoods that need it most. The result has been an even greater loss of black lives to gun violence.

Unfortunately, I'm not black enough to be reassured by the elevated risk of non-blacks being shot by a cop upset over his politically enforced inability to shoot blacks.

Until black lives matter to blacks, its going to be a hard sell to force them to matter much more to everyone else.

People's tolerance of hypocrisy is reaching critical mass.

I knew this whole "black lives matter" was a bullshit scam from its first mention.

Liberals say "America needs to have a conversation about..."

And Heather Mac Donald factually begins the conversation on violence in the black community, which the Liberals will completely ignore. The facts don't fit their narrative.

Regardless, it's a great study by a great writer.

This is what the BLM idiots want. They don't want the police in their neighborhoods, so the coppers are obliging them. I don't blame the coppers for abiding by the FIDO* policing method. Why go where you aren't wanted?

Fuck It, Drive On.

Actually sir, The most dangerous place in the world to be black in an American womb, statistically speaking.

Actually, the biggest threat to African-American lives (I use the term in the same vein that Teddy Roosevelt used it) are:

Roe v Wade

The collapse of the African-American social standards

The Democratic Party
