The Myth of Systemic Police Racism
This is a good article in the Wall Street Journal showing there is no systemic police racism in America, contrary to what the Media, Obama and all the Democrat liberals think.

For those that don't have a subscription to the WSJ, I've quoted some important parts of the article below:
"The charge of systemic police bias was wrong during the Obama years and remains so today. However sickening the video of Floyd's arrest, it isn't representative of the 375 million annual contacts that police officers have with civilians. A solid body of evidence finds no structural bias in the criminal-justice system with regard to arrests, prosecution or sentencing. Crime and suspect behavior, not race, determine most police action."
"Research by Harvard economist Roland F. Fryer Jr. also found no evidence of racial discrimination in shootings. Any evidence to the contrary fails to take into account crime rates and civilian behavior before and during interactions with police."
The article goes on and gives some stats to support this claim:
"The police fatally shot nine unarmed blacks and 19 unarmed whites in 2019, according to a Washington Post database... The Post defines "unarmed" broadly to include such cases as a suspect in Newark, N.J., who had a loaded handgun in his car during a police chase. In 2018, there were 7,407 black homicide victims last year. Assuming a comparable number of victims last year, those nine unarmed black victims of police shootings represent 0.1% of all African-Americans killed in 2019. By contrast, a police office is 18 1/2 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police office."
And people like MWP would like to disarm our police. I guess this is so more black criminals can shoot police officers, without worrying about the policemen shooting back. Whenever I hear Americans say things that indicate they care so little about a police officer's lives, who are protecting our communities, I find it sickening.
And has there ever been a riot, I mean a "protest", in honor of police officers who get shot by blacks? I haven't seen one. Maybe, we need to start a political organization called "Police Lives Matter!", and start rioting...I mean "protesting".
