It’s disgraceful to say cops are hunting black men
The lies that President Obama, Hillary Clinton and their ilk, with the aid of their lapdog media, have perpetrated on the American public is truly a disgrace. But the most disgraceful and dangerous of all is that police are hunting and killing black men. They fuel this nonsense every time they pander to Black Lives Matter, every time they open their mouth and take the side of criminals over cops before all the facts are in and the investigation is complete.
There are more than 1.5 million violent confrontations with police every year in this country. A police officer has a split second to make a decision that may cost him his life. There were almost twice as many whites killed in police confrontations than blacks. Every police shooting is vigorously investigated by an outside agency or independent internal affairs. The Justice Department, headed by a minority attorney general, has investigated most of these incidents.
Despite this, this lie is allowed to exist and grow. Polarizing and dividing people for political gain is truly reprehensible.
