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.
