- Around 25% of the people killed by police yearly are black Americans, and around 50% are white. Hundreds of more white Americans are killed by police every year, but black Americans are shot and killed by police at a higher rate compared to their population percentage.
- The rate at which black Americans are killed by the police is what the national media uses to mislead those who click on their headlines, but there is one major omission that has led to billions of dollars of destruction across many major US cities.
- FBI data show that for every 10,000 Black Americans arrested for violent crime, 3 are killed, yet for every 10,000 White Americans arrested for violent crime, 4 are killed. Black officers on black perpetrators account for many of the incidents.
- This means that when the crime rate is controlled for – which translates into the chance someone has of having a police encounter – no racial disparity in police shootings can be found.
-
The current scientific consensus after controlling for the rate of a police encounter is that there is zero racial bias or disparity in deadly police incidents.
-
Cherry-picked viral occurrences like the George Floyd incident are what triggers nationwide unrest, while stories like the Tony Timpa incident are ignored in pursuit of narrative control.

The movement became nationally recognized for street demonstrations following the 2014 death of Michael Brown where the popular false slogan ‘hands us don’t shoot’ became famous. The Hand Up Dont Shoot narrative was later proven to be a hoax.
-
Fabrications like Michael Brown’s hands up don’t shoot, which led to weeks of protests and riots in Ferguson, or Latrell Allen of Chicago, which led to two people shot, days of looting, and millions of dollars in damage – are directly caused by falsehoods told by the American media and supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement.
-
According to researchers, the BLM protests have resulted in ‘less police effort and less proactive policing,’ and has led to a 30% surge in homicide and increase in violent crime.
-
According to most economists and criminologists, the reason for the surge in homicides is indeed due to police ‘backing down’ from enforcement in the face of public backlash. Police across the nation are either retiring at record rates or transferring out of Black majority cities due to stigma caused by the protests and riots. The cost of policing for them outweighs the benefits, especially with the push for the removal of qualified immunity.

Police are transferring, retiring, and quitting at the highest rates in history.
-
Twelve US cities reached their highest homicide rate on record in 2021. Cook County Illinois hit over 1,000 homicides before the end of 2021, which is the first time for the county in over 30 years.
-
During the Black Lives Matter Riots and Protests, not one of the mainstream media outlets claimed the protests were spreading COVID-19. For the anti-lockdown protests however, most outlets called them ‘superspreader’ events.
-
As riots and protests swept across America last summer following the death of George Floyd, the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation took in just over $90 million last year, according to financials obtained by AP.
- The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation ended the year with a balance of more than $60 million, after allegedly spending approximately $20 million of its assets on grant funds and other charitable giving.
- The BLM foundation’s individual donations from its main platform traditionally averaged around $30.00, with more than 10% of donations being recurring. However, AP noted that the foundation’s report does not state where the money went in 2020 and that BLM leaders declined to name prominent donors.
Christian artist and fashion designer Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has claimed that Black Lives Matter is a scam, famously donning a White Lives Matter shirt at Paris Fashion Week in October. But is the Yeezy CEO really on the mark about the validity of the movement?
Well, around 25% of the people killed by police yearly are black Americans, and around 50% are white. Hundreds of more white Americans are killed by police every year, but black Americans are shot and killed by police at a higher rate compared to their population percentage. The rate at which black Americans are killed by the police is what the national media uses to mislead those who click on their headlines, but there is one major omission that has led to billions of dollars of destruction across many major US cities.

Cherry-picked viral occurrences like the George Floyd incident are what triggers nationwide unrest, while stories like the Tony Timpa incident are ignored in pursuit of narrative control.
Additionally, Black Lives Matter protests have brought devastating death and destruction. Fabrications like Michael Brown’s hands up don’t shoot, which led to weeks of protests and riots in Ferguson, or Latrell Allen of Chicago, which led to two people shot, days of looting, and millions of dollars in damage – are directly caused by falsehoods told by the American media and supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Police across the nation are either retiring at record rates or transferring out of Black majority cities due to stigma caused by the protests and riots. The cost of policing for them outweighs the benefits, especially with the push for the removal of qualified immunity.
Perhaps the cherry on top to all of this information is that of Black Lives Matter’s leadership. The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation ended the year with a balance of more than $60 million, after allegedly spending approximately $20 million of its assets on grant funds and other charitable giving.The BLM foundation’s individual donations from its main platform traditionally averaged around $30.00, with more than 10% of donations being recurring.
