I’ve been hearing quite a bit about this alleged war being carried out against black people.
I’ve been told from numerous sources that the killing of Michael Brown is but another piece of evidence that, in the words of someone on my Facebook page, blacks are ‘hunted’ in this country.
Cops, especially, are roaming the streets executing innocent black men in cold blood, for no reason, and without ever being held accountable for it.
And then out come the statistics:
A black person is killed by a cop every day.
A black man is 20 times more likely to be shot by a police officer.
Law enforcement is responsible for more black deaths than sharks and lightening combined.
And so on.
Unfortunately, these numbers don’t take into account how many of those black people were killed by a cop while trying to kill a cop.
Apparently, in the world of Shocking Statistics Used to Prove a Liberal Argument, such details are somehow irrelevant.
Could it be that a companion study might prove that black males are also 20 times more likely to violently attack police officers?
Has anyone checked up on that angle?
