PragerU has an educational video for everything. In this video, they ask the question “Are cops racist?”
Or more specifically, is it common for blacks to be unfairly shot by police? Judging by most media coverage and SJW responses, you’d think so (see Chaos in Milwaukee After Police Shoot Armed Suspect. Because #BlackLivesMatter and Blue Lives Matter? Hillary Specifically SNUBS National Police Union). But as it turns out, the numbers state otherwise…
A recent deadly force study by Washington State University researcher Lois James found that police officers were less likely to shoot unarmed black suspects than unarmed white or Hispanic ones… Harvard economics professor, Roland Fryer… found that blacks were 24% less likely than whites to be shot by officers even though the suspects were armed or violent [in Houston].
When they’re not busy “peacefully” rioting… do you ever hear Black Lives Matter mention those statistics? Yeah, that’s not a thing. Just like “systemic” police racism isn’t a thing. For a group that claims to care so much about blacks (oft times exclusively), they don’t seem to care about the statistics regarding the deaths of black people…
See, statistics bring to light the fact that the inner cities have been destroyed by leftist policies (watch Detroit Real Time Ride-Along). Thus when it comes to hyper liberal SJWs, numbers aren’t as effective as, say, a hashtag. Don’t judge. Math is hard, you bigot.
But even if they’re ignored, the facts remain. Meanwhile, racism? Not so much.
Clearly this isn’t to say that there are no instances of racism ever. PragerU is simply pointing out the fact that blacks aren’t unfairly targeted. They make a compelling argument, considering they did actual research and stuff. I know, I know. I can already hear Shaun King’s culturally-appropriated cornrows simmering with anger. Worry not, we have even more “racist” facts below…
