This so called Black L***s M****r group needs to be shown for what they really are, just another r****t h**e group. The only thing I could add to this article is to ask the question when are black folks in America going to wake up? They keep listening to the lies and broken promises of democrats. They have been v****g almost in lock step for democrats for decades but the plight of the black person in America just keeps getting more dire.

This article does a pretty good job of showing just what frauds B*M and democrats are. It is not even arguable.

The Myths of Black L***s M****r
The movement has won over Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. But what if its claims are fiction?

By HEATHER MAC DONALD

A television ad for Hillary Clinton’s p**********l campaign now airing in South Carolina shows the candidate declaring that “too many encounters with law enforcement end tragically.” She later adds: “We have to face up to the hard t***h of injustice and s******c r****m.”

Her Democratic p**********l rival, Bernie Sanders, met with the Rev. Al Sharpton on Wednesday. Mr. Sanders then tweeted that “As President, let me be very clear that no one will fight harder to end r****m and reform our broken criminal justice system than I will.” And he appeared on the TV talk show “The View” saying, “It is not acceptable to see unarmed people being shot by police officers.”

Apparently the Black L***s M****r movement has convinced Democrats and progressives that there is an epidemic of r****t white police officers k*****g young black men. Such rhetoric is going to heat up as Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Sanders court minority v**ers before the Feb. 27 South Carolina primary.

But what if the Black L***s M****r movement is based on fiction? Not just the fictional account of the 2014 police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., but the utter misrepresentation of police shootings generally.

To judge from Black L***s M****r protesters and their media and political allies, you would think that k**ler cops pose the biggest threat to young black men today. But this perception, like almost everything else that many people think they know about fatal police shootings, is wrong.

The Washington Post has been gathering data on fatal police shootings over the past year and a half to correct acknowledged deficiencies in federal tallies. The emerging data should open many eyes.

For starters, fatal police shootings make up a much larger proportion of white and Hispanic homicide deaths than black homicide deaths. According to the Post database, in 2015 officers k**led 662 w****s and Hispanics, and 258 b****s. (The overwhelming majority of all those police-shooting victims were attacking the officer, often with a gun.) Using the 2014 homicide numbers as an approximation of 2015’s, those 662 white and Hispanic victims of police shootings would make up 12% of all white and Hispanic homicide deaths. That is three times the proportion of black deaths that result from police shootings.

The lower proportion of black deaths due to police shootings can be attributed to the lamentable black-on-black homicide rate. There were 6,095 black homicide deaths in 2014—the most recent year for which such data are available—compared with 5,397 homicide deaths for w****s and Hispanics combined. Almost all of those black homicide victims had black k**lers.

Police officers—of all races—are also disproportionately endangered by black assailants. Over the past decade, according to FBI data, 40% of cop k**lers have been black. Officers are k**led by b****s at a rate 2.5 times higher than the rate at which b****s are k**led by police.

Some may find evidence of police bias in the fact that b****s make up 26% of the police-shooting victims, compared with their 13% representation in the national population. But as residents of poor black neighborhoods know too well, violent crimes are disproportionately committed by b****s. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, b****s were charged with 62% of all robberies, 57% of murders and 45% of assaults in the 75 largest U.S. counties in 2009, though they made up roughly 15% of the population there.

Such a concentration of criminal violence in minority communities means that officers will be disproportionately confronting armed and often resisting suspects in those communities, raising officers’ own risk of using lethal force.

The Black L***s M****r movement claims that white officers are especially prone to shooting innocent b****s due to racial bias, but this too is a myth. A March 2015 Justice Department report on the Philadelphia Police Department found that black and Hispanic officers were much more likely than white officers to shoot b****s based on “threat misperception”—that is, the mistaken belief that a civilian is armed.

A 2015 study by University of Pennsylvania criminologist Greg Ridgeway, formerly acting director of the National Institute of Justice, found that, at a crime scene where gunfire is involved, black officers in the New York City Police Department were 3.3 times more likely to discharge their weapons than other officers at the scene.

The Black L***s M****r movement has been stunningly successful in changing the subject from the realities of violent crime. The world knows the name of Michael Brown but not Tyshawn Lee, a 9-year-old black child lured into an alley and k**led by gang members in Chicago last fall. Tyshawn was one of dozens of black children gunned down in America last year. The Baltimore Sun reported on Jan. 1: “Blood was shed in Baltimore at an unprecedented pace in 2015, with mostly young, black men shot to death in a near-daily crush of violence.”

Those were black lives that mattered, and it is a scandal that outrage is heaped less on the dysfunctional culture that produces so many victims than on the police officers who try to protect them.

Yep, Sanders and Clinton will continue the Obama r****t divide. The Democrat vision for b****s: v**e Democrat and Big Government will be the father you never had, because we will provide food, clothing and shelter.

There are a few simple steps one can take to ensure that there is a 99.99% chance that you will not be k**led by a police officer.

1.) Don't commit a crime.
2.) Follow the instructions given to you by any police officer.
3.) Don't point a gun, knife or anything that could be construed as a weapon at a police officer (or anybody else for that matter).
4.) Don't resist arrest.
5.) Don't punch, kick, spit on or assault a police officer in any manner.
6.) Don't run from a police officer.
7.) Don't threaten a police officer.

There is a training video for this.

I'm trying to remember your position on the wako that was k**led in Oregon but I can't.

The solution to the "obvious" police r****t violence is really quite simple. Remove the police from black neighborhoods-- problem solved.

And send in the 'black on black crime' solver Al Sharpton.

Always trying to change the subject, aren't you TommyTroll?

Actually the proper spelling is wacko. Had he followed the instructions given to him by law enforcement he would be alive today. By saying he would die rather than go to jail he let the police know his intentions. I have looked at the video numerous times and believe he was reaching for his gun. The shooting by law enforcement was justified.

Now that he has cleared it up for you, is your memory still uncommitted?

Well in my opinion maybe the Democrats are using the Black L***s m****r as a smokescreen. How about we talk about one of the true contributors to crime. Lack of jobs. How about bringing manufacturing back to the US. You can have all of the training in the world but if there are now jobs.
They want to stuff this BS down our throat about the new economy.
Not everyone is designed to work at a desk has the aptitude to program computers develop web pages. Some people are wired for manual labor prefer it.
How about mentioning also the influx of low sk**led workers, which they don't want to address.
You ask why I like Trump, well he is the only one that speaks on these issues.
Sharpton and Jackson dare not call them out on these issues because maybe their arsses are feeding off the gravy train.......
Just my take on it.

It id not lack of jobs either. It is the dissolution of the black family. Upwards of 75% of black children are born to a single mother. Therein lies the problem. It is no more complicated than that. Where are the black leaders on this issue--nowhere.

Remember Obama and his "shovel ready jobs" speech and his "jobs is my #1 priority" speech. Democrats don't want b****s to succeed, they just want b****s to v**e democrat.

Is it quite possible that a lot of the fathers are in prison.....
Think about it.

"Uncommitted" is TommyTroll's middle name...
