    Barr: 'false narrative' that cops are shooting blacks

    The non-truncated title is Barr Says it's a "False Narrative" that There's an Epidemic of Cops Shooting Unarmed Black Men

    I'm pretty sure we on this forum already know that.

    “I think the narrative that the police are on some epidemic of shooting unarmed black men is simply a false narrative,” Barr said in a CNN appearance. “The fact is that it’s very rare for an unarmed African American to be shot by a white police officer.”
    That said, more blacks, percentage-wise are shot by cops than are whites.

    Those shot by police officers are majority White, 52 percent, but 32 percent are Black, though African Americans make up 13 percent of the population, according to findings from the National Institutes of Health.

    However, this is exactly what Roland Fryer addressed in his comprehensive study where he showed that black suspects were not more likely than white suspects to be shot (per confrontation). So, why are blacks being shot at a higher rate if not for racism? The answer is simple and I first learned it on this forum and then I researched it--it's because a higher percentage of blacks are committing crimes, so more are likely to have run-ins with the police.

    The media has twisted that, as have anarchist groups, such as Revcom, but Barr is correct in his assessment. It's a false narrative.

    All the violence we're seeing today could end if the media could just tell the truth.

    The number one reason for getting shot by a police officer is, behavior. I know, shocker, right? If people would just spend a little time watching badge cam footage, this would become patently clear to them. In reality, police officers show great restraint most of the time. Often times to the detriment of their own safety.

    Yet the Lame Stream Media is actively looking to highlight any blacks killed by cops. While avoiding the Major Headlines of Whites shot by Cops.


    Hopefully Cops are catching on to what the Lame Stream Media is doing.
