The selective saturation coverage the media gives to police shootings of black victims has led many and apparently the players to conclude it is far more prevalent than it actually is. Statistics compiled by the Federal Government for 2015 and 2016 show that the chances of an unarmed black man being shot and killed by the police is about the same as being struck by lightning. In other words, exceedingly rare. And black cop are actually more likely than white cops to shoot black victims. Those are the facts. What I find most offensive about the protests is that they are based on falsehoods and the players, ignorant of the facts, are being used as tools by the political left in this country intent on perpetuating the lie that the police and country as a whole are systemically racist.
