Black political activists and “race baiters” use police shootings to stir up this country. Everyone knows that. These self-serving bigots appear in public and make grand generalizations about America’s oppressed minorities, usually Blacks. These same fools use the police shooting of a Black man to claim that America is systemically racist. Here is the truth.
In 2021, the police in the US. made 4,530,000 arrests. Regrettably, during those arrests the police killed 1,051 people. That percentage is .00023 per arrest! Approximately 200 of those killed were Black. And a certain number of those killed were “suicide by cop.”
That same year, 129 police officers were killed in the line of duty. Most of those deaths were felonious assaults, some even premeditated ambushes. The prior year, 2020, police deaths were 46! That is a 280% increase.
Any deaths during arrests and deaths of police officers while on duty are tragic.
As you can see from the above graph, deaths of unarmed suspects are at record lows. Most occur to white men. Approximately 11 unarmed Blacks were killed by police last year during the course of 4.5 million arrests! This is tragic, but not a sign of “systemic racism.” My research concludes that these 11deaths resulted from bad training, accidents/mistakes or committed by “bad cops.” Of course, there are bad cops just like there are bad teachers, coaches, dentists, lawyers, ministers, Congressmen, plumbers, judges, nurses, and auto mechanics. In 2021 there were 697,195 full-time police officers in the US. If 10 were “bad cops” then that percent is .0000143 of the total.
The shooting of an unarmed Black man in New York City is not a sign of systemic racism across America. If a male dentist in Houston sexually molests a patient that does not mean all dentists in the US. are molesters.
During 2021, the US. experienced 19,600 murders. A vast majority of these murders occurred in our large (Democratic) cities like St. Louis, Milwaukee, Baltimore, New Orleans, Atlanta, Memphis, Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, Newark, Oakland, San Bernadino, Cleveland, Kansas City and Little Rock. It is tragic that a vast majority of these murders were committed by repeat offenders. It is also tragic that a large number of victims were Black.
Also, my research shows that 1200 felonious assaults were committed by illegal immigrants in 2121. And the police arrested a total 10,763 illegal immigrants last year for various crimes. These numbers have increased dramatically over the last 2 years.
It is blatantly obvious to me that serious crime does occur in the US and that the amount of crime is increasing. It is equally obvious to me that the police are not the problem! They are the answer.
