I heard about this article tonight on the Michael Medved show....he read portions of it and points out the title of the article is misleading.....and then he cites the stats....that police shootings of suspects are at an all time low....

A number of criminologists believe police homicides are near their nadir. In New York City, for example, 91 people were fatally shot by police officers in 1971 — and a record-low eight in 2013, the last year for which figures are available. In Los Angeles, officers used “categorical” force — gunfire, chokings and other violence that could lead to death — in 84 of nearly 149,000 arrests in 2012, down 17 percent in seven years.

That data suggests that any perception that higher numbers of unarmed African-Americans are being killed by the police in recent months is driven by citizens’ postings of unsettling cellphone videos and pictures, like that of police officers dragging Freddie Gray, his legs apparently not working, into a van.
So, when democrat voters are rioting, looting and burning their towns down it is because of a false meme created by democrats who control the press.......who then are supported by the democrats in political power who throw more money at democrats who riot because of false memes created by democrats in the press.....lather, rinse, repeat..........
