I Believe Black Lives Matter

[b][big][center][i][u]Black Lives Matter[/u][/i][/center][/big][/b]

It's interesting how those in the main stream media can twist things.

Donald Trump promised to restore law and order for the sake of all, but most especially for those living in affected communities.

CNN former obama advisor Van Jones called it "despicable and shocking in it's divisiveness"
Josh Zeitz called law and order "ipso facto, a racially tinged term"...

The defense of black children was too much for Alica Garza a co-founder of Black Lives Matter said: "The terrifying vision that Donald J Trump is putting forward casts him along side of some of the worst fascists in history"

Let's go back in time:
Ever since the "Black Lives Matter movement burst onto the scene in 2014, violent crime has surged in urban areas. In America's largest cities homicides rose 17% last year. In Washington DC homicides jumped 54%; In Milwaukee, 73% in Cleveland 90%

The REASON! The drop off in the proactive policing that activists and academics denounce as racist. While cops continue to respond to 911 calls in minority neighborhoods they are making fewer pedestrian stops and engaging in less public-order enforcement.

Backing off such activity is what Black Lives Matter supporters, including president obama want.

Yet the victims of the resulting crime surge are almost exclusively black; Whites have largely been unaffected. In Baltimore, 45 people were killed in July 2015, 43 of them black by blacks.

In Chicago 2,460 were shot last year lethally or non-lethally according to the city's report. 78 white resident were shot even though the white share of the population of Chicago is about the same as the black.

Police shootings are a minute fraction of this carnage. So far in Chicago they account for of all shootings 05%

Four studies published this year alone have further undercut the claim that we are living through an epidemic of racially biased policing shootings.
Harvard economist Roland Fryer examined data from Dallas, Houston, Austin, Los Angeles and 6 counties in Florida. He found no evidence of racial discrimination in police shooting.

When Donald Trump pledges to restore "Law and Order", he is not promising to protect white America...he addressing a problem that whites could easily ignore, if they were the bigots that the black lives matter movement and nearly all of academia make them all out to be.

Strangely it is obama and black lives matter who have turned their eyes from the rising black victimization.
When FBI director James Coney warned last October that "The chill wind blowing through American law enforcement" was leading to a huge increase in urban homicides and shootings, obama promptly accused him of "cherry picking data"

When Donald Trump drew attention in his convention speech to the rising urban violence, obama again dismissed the casualties as merely an uptick in murders and violet crime in some cities. It's hard not to translate this into as "White lives matter, black lives, not so much.

Trumps call to restore law and order recognizes the right of inner city residents to enjoy the same freedom from fear that the rest of America now takes for granted thanks to the 20 year decline in crime by the proactive policing revolution of the 1990's

The antipolice narrative is putting black lives in jeopardy and undercutting the foundation of a civilized society.

So what's your point? You pulled from an opinion piece in the right leaning Wall St. Journal by a very conservative author with a very specific background. A PERFECT example of spin. But I'd bet ANYTHING you didn't know it was an opinion piece or took the time to look in to Heather MacDonald.

Donald Trump "promising" something means nothing. Absolutely nothing. About as much as when he said law and order would be restored on the day he was elected. It's nonsense and is meant to appeal to one type of person. And that's not someone from the inner city.

Promising "Law and Order" IS a racially tinged statement considering he was speaking to a group in some small town in Wisconsin. "We need to do something about the blacks" was what he was saying.

@OWTFWN: As I see it, BLM has moved equality backwards in a big way. I get bringing attention to injustice and inequality. But when you go outside of the "community" to blame others for it you can't expect to be embraced.

The ONLY way change will take place is if it comes from the inside out. They're looking at things being solved from the outside in but as they don't have an endgame that will never happen.

@ImLobo: Sorry, I thought you were making it up since many people seem to push their false claims onto others. I just watched the video and I don't think he meant it literally. It is certainly a racist way to try and resolve an issue, but he is the master of bullshitting his way out. Hillary's solution was more gun control and that would certainly lead to more murders in America.

JaggedLittlePill,

Yup, you got me. I fell for it, shame on me. I didn't see it coming.

[b][i]Distract and attack......but don't debate the subject[/i][/b]...That's liberalism.

The facts are there....Black communities crime rate is souring and obama and his minions attack the FBI report as cherry picking. Great leadership.
