Article with some actual numbers on police shootings and use of force. It shows the media narrative to be a lie.

"...Instead, I want to talk about the underlying narrative regarding the prevalence of police brutality against black men in the U.S., which is largely undisputed in the media. According to this narrative, black men are constantly harassed by the police and routinely brutalized with impunity, even when they have done nothing wrong, and there is an “epidemic of police shootings of unarmed black men.” Even high-profile black celebrities often claim to be afraid of the police because the same thing might happen to them. Police brutality, or at least the possibility that one might become a victim of such violence, is supposed to be part of the experience of a typical black man in the U.S. Events such as the death of Brown in Ferguson are presented as proof that black men are never safe from the police.

Not a surprise. It's just the leftist media doing the bidding of their political overlords. The party of identity politics needs racial unrest to make gains and their lapdogs in the media do their level best to provide said unrest.

To quote Rush from Twilight Zone

Quote:You have entered the Twilight Zone
Beyond this world strange things are known
