    Black Lives Matter

      From the New York Post, not that facts matter to any liberal/NFL kneeler:

      The FBI released its official crime tally for 2016 on Monday, and the data flies in the face of the rhetoric that professional athletes rehearsed in revived Black Lives Matter protests over the weekend.

      Nearly 900 additional blacks were killed in 2016 compared with 2015, bringing the black homicide victim total to 7,881. Those 7,881 “black bodies,” in the parlance of Ta-Nehisi Coates, are 1,305 more than the number of white victims (which in this case includes most Hispanics) for the same period, though blacks are only 13 percent of the nation’s population.

      The increase in black homicides last year comes on top of a previous 900-victim increase between 2014 and 2015.

      Who is killing these black victims? Not whites, and not the police, but other blacks.

      In 2016, the police fatally shot 233 blacks, the vast majority armed and dangerous, according to the Washington Post. The paper categorized only 16 black male victims of police shootings as “unarmed.” That classification masks assaults against officers and violent resistance to arrest.

      Contrary to the Black Lives Matter narrative, the police have much more to fear from black males than black males have to fear from the police. In 2015, a police officer was 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male was to be killed by a police officer.

      Black males have made up 42 percent of all cop-killers over the last decade, though they are only 6 percent of the population. That 18.5 ratio undoubtedly worsened in 2016, in light of the 53 percent increase in gun murders of officers — committed vastly and disproportionately by black males.

      Among all homicide suspects whose race was known, white killers of blacks numbered only 243.

      Violent crime has now risen by a significant amount for two consecutive years. The total number of violent crimes rose 4.1 percent in 2016, and estimated homicides rose 8.6 percent.

      In 2015, violent crime rose by nearly 4 percent and estimated homicides by nearly 11 percent. The last time violence rose two years in a row was 2005-06.

      The reason for the current increase is what I have called the Ferguson Effect. Cops are backing off of proactive policing in high-crime minority neighborhoods, and criminals are becoming emboldened.

      Having been told incessantly by politicians, the media and Black Lives Matter activists that they are bigoted for getting out of their cars and questioning someone loitering on a known drug corner at 2 a.m., many officers are instead just driving by.

      Such stops are discretionary; cops don’t have to make them. And when political elites demonize the police for just such proactive policing, we shouldn’t be surprised when cops get the message and do less of it.

      Seventy-two percent of the nation’s officers say that they and their colleagues are now less willing to stop and question suspicious persons, according to a Pew Research poll released in January 2017. The reason is the persistent anti-cop climate.

      Four studies came out in 2016 alone rebutting the charge that police shootings are racially biased. If there is a bias in police shootings, it works in favor of blacks and against whites. That truth has not stopped the ongoing demonization of the police — including, now, by many of the country’s ignorant professional athletes.

      The toll will be felt, as always, in the inner city, by the thousands of law-abiding people there who desperately want more police protection.

      Hold up there bud. You can't go using any of those facts and things for arguments. You need to rely on pure emotion with a little violence thrown in.



      Kidding! I kid. Great post by the way.

      God bless and happy hunting.

        Damage is already done. I doubt the NFL will ever fully recover. Last Monday's NFL game had the worst rating ever posted by the NFL. The NFL paying 100 million in blackmail money to social justice organizations while charging the US Defense Department a 100 million to honor soldiers is not going to help their ratings, its going to hurt the rating even more. The NFL has just put themselves on the same level as the World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. its a down hill slide from which the NFL will never recover.

            Unfortunately they will survive this because to many people in this country will turn a blind eye to their anti-American garbage...

              Outside of them burying their noses in the political BS, it's still clown shoes. I think ratings would be falling without any of the recent controversy. Not as drastically, but still falling.

                  The really sad part of this whole deal is that Football has been on the list of Left for many years to destroy and the very clowns that have benefited the most form a truly awesome sport just put them over the finish line. I hate it because I was one of those guys that played the game for many years; live eat and breath the sport and quite honestly it kept me out of a lot trouble as a youth and taught me more about hard work, responsibility and team work than any other thing in life and it’s a truly american phenomenon that will die like other traditions.
                  Just a sad affair!

                    I've heard some pretty silly ideas on this debacle, but this tops them all.

                      Read Pat Buchannon’s book “The Death of the West”. He explains the theory behind what’s going on. When the Communists realized at WW1 that poor men would fight and die for God and Country, only to return to a life of hard work and poverty- with no interest in their ideology- they realized the had to destroy all history and traditions the people held onto. First taking God out of the public forum, then erasing American history and greatness as white men having slaves and raping woman and the environment, and accepted social institutions that reinforced American greatness.

                      It’s all part of their bigger plan.

                                Works for me. I'm not watching the NFL right now and don't know after this if I will ever again watch it.
