American Thinker:
The full evil of the anti-cop hysteria pushed by left-wing groups like #BlackLivesMatter will take many years to be understood, in no small part because of political and media support for the notion that racism on the part of cops is the sole cause for disproportionate numbers of black perpetrators in our crime statistics. The inconvenient truth of black criminality must never be blamed on cultural, behavioral, or demographic issues like fatherless children and must, instead, be attributed to society as a whole.
But every now and then, a statistic appears that cannot be easily dismissed. Jared Sichel of The Daily Wire brings one such figure to our attention.
Murders in the U.S. rose nearly 9% last year, and one-third of that increase came from just a few neighborhoods in Chicago, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of the FBI’s annual 2016 publication, Crime in the United States.
While violent crime (homicide, rape, assault, and robbery) also rose nationwide from 2015 to 2016 – over 4% – the data show the increase was not uniform, but rather concentrated in cities like Chicago and Baltimore.
Other big cities, including Los Angeles and Washington, DC, saw meaningful declines in violence.
So there is no broad trend, but rather local factors that must be accounted for. For instance:
Interestingly, the paper’s neighborhood-by-neighborhood analysis claimed that areas where homicides spiked had a “lighter street presence by police following officers’ high-profile killings of young black men.” … read more
Mayor tutu don’t care, they be all black
Force Chicongo politicians to live under the same laws as their subjects. NO GUNS for cops protecting crooked mayor or anyone else remotely related to that worthless little light-in-the-loafers commie fag. Allow heroes in blue to pack heat when not protecting elected officials. See how long it takes for democommies to come around.
Black inter-breeding: “cultural differences.”
Black I.Q. rate: b/c of racism in public schools.
Black crime: “Let’s talk about white crime.”
Blacks being caught committing crime: “Racist police.”
Black poverty: “White racism.”
Black racism: “Only RESPONDING to white racism.”
Fatherless blacks: “White social construct.”
In the liberal mind, there is no excuse too thin or ridiculous they won’t use to exonerate blacks for their behavior. They do the same thing for their muslim buddies too.
Izlamo (something) est!
If you subtract negro on negro homicide from US statistics, we’re Maybery.
Yep, Lowell: you’re correct. Black Inner-city murder rates are about 50/100K. That’s like the murder rate of some of the most dangerous, horrible countries in the world. The UN *overall* murder rate is about 5/100K…. Yep, most of the country is like Maybery and it’s only because of that the overall US rate is what it is.
(Meanwhile, the lying progs try to compare the US murder rates with the gun murder rates elsewhere, where the weapons of choice are much more creative than mere guns.) ….Lady in Red
Whoops! That’s overall *US* murder rate is approximately 5/100K.
….LiR
If I were a Conspiracy theorist I would say.
Emanuel is to let Chicago fall, the U.N would be called in and Martial law could fall into place !
Chicago! Come for fine dining, stay because you were murdered.
Another great example of leftist ruling!
More cheer from the Windy city!
