Instead of Looking at The Real Reasons for Police Shootings, the Democrat-Media Complex Chooses to Gaslight the Public

James Varney and Abigail Degnan write that when you study police shootings, you'll tend to find a disproportionate number of black men being shot.

Not because of racism.

But because black men commit a disproportionate amount of crime.

The Democrat-Media Complex absolutely will not admit that basic fact, and will in fact punish anyone who mentions it.

Leaving the only possible reason for a disproportionate amount of black men being shot by police "Because racism."

Numerous professional criminologists told RealClearInvestigations that the problem isn't racist or trigger-happy police officers. Instead, a handful of intertwined factors are at work: the almost immutable math of crime and demographics; media sensationalism; distorted public perceptions about race and guns; and the inability of inertia-bound police departments to adapt in ways to make a difference.

The first lie pushed by the Regime is that there are a huge number of bad shootings. In fact, 0.002% of police interactions with civilians result in lethal gunfire.

This is such a tiny number that it's hard to even talk about statistics at this level.

...
What's more, police aren't exaggerating the lethal threats they face. In 2023, the Washington Post database showed 83% of people killed by police bullets were armed -- 62% with a gun and another 15% with a knife -- percentages that criminologists said have held steady over the years. In other cases, officers are facing potentially lethal situations with vehicles, or even deranged people charging them with swords, hatchets, or garden tools.
-- Second, media coverage distorts the circumstances of most fatal police shootings. Several criminal justice professors stressed that the overwhelming majority of lethal shootings by police involve clear justification. Nevertheless, the media and its audience tend to focus on those deaths where there is no clear justification, or where the claim of justification appears dubious.

If the media wanted to report reality accurately -- which we know they don't -- they'd also report all the well-justified shootings.

(But of course they take well-justified shootings and claim they're unjustified, as we're currently seeing with the Dexter Reed shooting.)

All of the media's attention is on what cops did wrong to wind up in a shooting incident.

They never bother to ask: What did the suspect do wrong to wind up in a shooting incident?

You know -- like resisting arrest, grabbing a cop's gun or taser, etc.

The fatal Reed shooting is an illustration. Overlooked by many in the furor over the heavy fire poured out by Chicago Police Department officers -- 96 shots -- is the fact Reed deliberately disobeyed repeated orders from increasingly nervous police officers, then opened fire and wounded one of them, precipitating the bloody ending.

And then there is the fact you're never allowed to mention: Black men commit more crime than any other group and therefore we should not be surprised to find that black men are being arrested at higher rates than any other group, or are involved in more police-involved shootings than any other group.

In 2023, The Guardian newspaper published a dataset -- Mapping Police Violence -- including not just shootings but all lethal encounters involving police. It concludes that black people "were killed at a rate 2.6 times higher than white people."
But such raw numbers ignore the fact that blacks are more likely to commit crimes. In a seminal study of Houston police that echoes other findings, Roland Fryer, a black economist at Harvard University, reported, "On the most extreme use of force -- officer-involved shootings -- we find no racial differences in either the raw data or when contextual factors are taken into account." Once the number of police encounters was factored in, Fryer found, police were markedly less likely to shoot at blacks and Hispanics than at whites. After publishing his paper -- whose conclusions he found so surprising that he ran the numbers twice -- Fryer said, "all hell broke loose." He told Bari Weiss of the Free Press, "I had colleagues take me to the side and say, 'Don't publish this. You'll ruin your career.'"

The article then looks at the possibility that better training could reduce the number of shooting incidents.

But I don't buy this:

Chuck Wexler, the executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) is one who believes "business as usual" can change. At its core, this involves abandoning the ancient mantra of cops beginning a shift -- get home safely -- to "the sanctity of human life." Wexler said it will be "much more challenging" to shift the numbers on the 60% of lethal shootings that involve a suspect with a gun, "but with the other 40%, that's where I believe we can make a difference."
"Instead of 'get home safe' we should be thinking, 'everyone gets home alive' -- arrested, in custody, but alive," he told RCI.

So you're saying that police should adopt the mentality that it doesn't matter so much if they themselves survive the shift? That it's just as important that violent arrestees survive too?

I don't see many police adopting this "my life is less valuable than this violent criminal's life" mentality.

I think we could slash the number of police shootings if the media would propagate the rule that police orders should be respected during an arrest, and any problems with the arrest should be sorted out later in front of judge, instead of a perp deciding "I'm not going to be arrested today because I'm a Bad M*****f*****." I think that establishing that resisting arrest is itself a crime and that people shouldn't do it would do a lot more to reduce officer-involved shooting than telling cops "Some nights you're just going to have to eat a bullet, because it's the perp's life that matters."

Somewhat related:

The media is determined to take all facts and bend them to fit their narratives.

And they're doing this to stoke war, strife, and revolution.

Much not being reported but that doesn't make it getting less.

Posted by: Skip at April 19, 2024 06:46 PM (fwDg9)

69 The DOJ's own statistics show that blacks commit 60+% of violent crimes. This crime is committed by 13% of the population (actually it's more like 2% if you factor out black females and black male octogenarians - leaving you with the 15- 45 year age group committing all this crime).

78 The DOJ's own statistics show that blacks commit 60+% of violent crimes. This crime is committed by 13% of the population (actually it's more like 2% if you factor out black females and black male octogenarians - leaving you with the 15- 45 year age group committing all this crime). Add to that the fact that only about 50% of crimes are solved by LE, you have to assume that the remaining unsolved crimes are committed by the same demographic and not by some statistically impossible Amish or Mennonite demographic that magically has the ability to remain undetected.

108 11 Drug overdose deaths:
Most will probably be fentanyl related: most likely fentanyl laced heroin and cocaine. Those due to legal opioids such as percocet and vicodin are more often actually caused by liver failure and the culprit is paracetamol (Tylenol, acetaminophen), included in the pill "to discourage overdosing". That's like 'Let's put just enough cyanide in each pill such that if they take too many at once it will kill them" logic.

Katherine Maher was formerly the Wikimedia CEO.

Wikipedia frequently asks for donations:

These donations are naturally assumed to be for Wikipedia, and to keep it running. However, Wikipedia has large reserves and income, and doesn't need your money.

Instead the money goes to Wikimedia staff, which has ballooned from $4 million in 2010 to $100 million today:

Another large item is grants, the recipients of which include explicitly left-wing interest organisations, such as Borealis Philantropy, or The SeRCH Foundation which makes this type of content:

This foundation is clearly massively bloated. And it is borderline unethical how it uses the donations that are explicitly given to Wikipedia.

131 The first lie pushed by the Regime is that there are a huge number of bad shootings. In fact, 0.002% of police interactions with civilians result in lethal gunfire. This is such a tiny number that it's hard to even talk about statistics at this level.

But the Left still talk about. I look this exact issue up and the one year there was like 26 shootings. The next year there was like 31. The numbers I am using are from memory and are not actual stats though the point I am making still holds. That is a 19% increase but only an increase of 5 actual shooting incidents, mere noise in the millions of police interactions each year. One cannot be demagogued while the other is an invitation to scream and yell about systemic racism in policing. And that is exactly what the Democrats have been doing since about 2016.

135 I clearly remember in the 70s and 80s when black communities finally reaped the benefit of LBJ's plans to remove fathers from the family unit and they let themselves lose control of everything. It was "oh lawd, stop this crime". And the cops did. And then it was "you are too mean" so the cops backed off, and crime got worse than it was the first time. So militarization began (there were incentives from the feds too IIRC) because the black people once again began insisting that the cops do something about the state of their communities that they'd allowed to become horrible sh*tholes.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

146 In fact, 0.002% of police interactions with civilians result in lethal gunfire. This is such a tiny number that it's hard to even talk about statistics at this level.

--

It's staggeringly less than that when you think about it.

If a cop is behind you and doesn't pull you over, that is an encounter. If a cop is at a restaurant and doesn't talk to any of the two dozen patrons (and five criminals that are working in the kitchen) those are all encounters.

Millions upon millions of encounters in one shift of one day.

196 "I don't see many police adopting this "my life is less valuable than this violent criminal's life" mentality."

Even after what happened with Covid a lot of people don't seem to understand that whether you're black or white you are a "criminal" to the police.

So yes we do need police officers who are willing to lay down their lives when they start their shift. The idea that a cop's #1 job is to return home safely is why those cowards stood outside a class room while a deranged maniac shot up kids.

197 A few years ago, I decided to delve into the statistics myself. I looked at Florida's incarceration data by the Florida Bureau of Investigation. These were the stats for men who had actually been convicted and sent to prison, divided by race and crime category. I adjusted for the percentage of each racial group relative to the total population to get a per capita comparison.

I then ran the numbers and saw that black men are nine times as likely to commit murder, and over 30 times as likely to commit violent assault and 35 times more likely to commit rape than white men. This is a huge discrepancy

198 A couple of things...
There IS a problem with some cops of being overly aggressive. And some are a little trigger happy. And I think those problems cluster together, particularly in "bad neighborhoods" where they are constantly engaged with miscreants and in special tactics units.

The other problem is that so many police are NOT well-trained in the use of firearms. So you get this idiot (Reed) being belligerent and shooting a cop, then it takes almost 100 rounds to take him down. Even worse was the incident with the ladies delivering newspapers when CA cops were hunting that rogue ex-cop - again, 100 rounds, and they didn't hit either woman in the truck (most of those 100 rounds didn't even hit the truck). Then there was Diallo - where the cops fired 41 rounds at extremely close range, and only hit the unarmed guy 19 times. So, cops get panicky, they freak out, and they fire and reload with abandon. Rounds going everywhere.

I'm betting the folks who attended last year's TXMoMe have done more dynamic shooting training than half the cops in America. THIS is where the accountability needs to occur.

Posted by: GWB at April 19, 2024 08:40 PM (1zxQh)

199 "The other problem is that so many police are NOT well-trained in the use of firearms. “

Most departments simply don’t have the resources for this. Cops usually get about a week of inservice training once a year. This includes everything from brushing up on law to scenario based training. And then maybe 1-2 range days a year, which have to include static line qualifications and other admin crap. This pulls cops off the road and increases the manpower burden, which means no one gets the training they need. Add in the increasing violence of perps and it’s a miracle police don’t act like marauding Beserkers.

200 4th Amendment RIGHTS are not to be trifled with! Cops can't just hassle/detain/arrest someone who is not otherwise committing a legal, enforceable infraction against statury, Constitutional law.
A cop can't compell your testimony or ID just because you happened to be in the proximity of an alleged crime. They cops may ask and the citizen may decline at the will of the citizen.
One is not required to assist in an investigation, nor are they allowed to impede said, alleged investigation.

202 In The Marine Corps. I was a Marine, once, I don't know if I ever mentioned it.

In The Corps, there is a priority of purpose when engaged on any mission, even if it's paperwork.

Number one is "Mission Accomplishment." and THEN troop welfare, notice "troop" because the officer corps is safe as a baby in it's crib.

If you want to talk the talk of the military like you are a fucking hero but then cower behind some idea that you should always be safe? The military only cares about getting the job done, THEN they HOPE you are okay, because it's easier if you live, since it saves on training.

And as people who have read my story, I don't think troop welfare really applied to me while I served, because though other than my wife The Corps is the love of my life, I got FUCKED! like a tranny in the halls of congress.

Mission Accomplishment is number one. And Troop welfare
