The activist narrative about police shootings is false, writes @ZacharyFaria.The media ran with the “hands up, don’t shoot” narrative without bothering to find out if it was actually true. Black Lives Matter was built on lies. https://t.co/YUYor7Y5Z1— Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) August 10, 2022
Michael Brown was no angel, and that's proof enough that cops have never shot anyone unarmed in the back.
In total, the database has counted 7,649 people shot and killed by police in the last eight years. Of that number, just 6% were considered unarmed, and 22% were black. Unarmed black people have made up just 2% of police shootings since 2015. The activist narrative about police shootings is false.
police never lie and it's ok if police kill close to 1000 americans per year. heatstroke kills around 600 people per year. pregnancy complications kill around 700.
Worth noting that George Floyd wouldn't be counted in this statistic because he wasn't "shot and killed by police". Same with Sandra Blande, who was found hanged in her jail cell. Nor Daniel Prude, whose head was bagged until he asphyxiated. Nor Jakelin Caal and Felipe Gómez Alonzo, who died in the custody of the Border Patrol (so not cops) thanks to dehydration and illness respectively (so not executed by firearm).
Even if you don't question an organization notorious for outright fabricating reports and just take everything they say at face value, some of the most high profile deaths in the country get dropped from this tally.
