An epidemic of lies

Tuesday, December 16, 2014

Dear Editor,

I grow tired of the non-stop narrative, made by the race hustlers and their fellow travelers within the mainstream news media, that there is an "epidemic" of white cops shooting unarmed black teens ... I am also tired of the asinine "protests for social justice" that the media continues to slavishly report.

There is no "epidemic" of white cops killing unarmed black teens. Yes, there are instances of improper conduct by police officers; but, for the majority of situations, where a white officer shoots an unarmed citizen, there are usually extenuating circumstance that justify the shooting; and in those few cases where the shooting was unjustified the officer is convicted of murder and sent to prison.

Let's be clear on the facts: Michael Brown was a thug, who entered a convenience store, stole a handful of cigars, and proceeded to strong-arm the clerk. The store's surveillance video clearly proves these events. Brown and his fellow hoodlums then walked down the middle of a busy street, where they were confronted by Officer Darren Wilson -- who requested the group remain on the sidewalk. For this, the physically larger Brown attacked Wilson, and then attempted to take the officer's sidearm. Michael Brown, through his actions, was the direct cause of his own death.

The Ferguson Police Department came under direct pressure from the Obama Administration to not show the surveillance video.

Why? Major news outlets ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN also acted to suppress this evidence, and thus failed in their responsibility to report the facts. Why? When testifying before the Grand Jury, eight eye witnesses -- all black -- confirmed the police version of the events. After two days' deliberation, a grand jury -- consisting of nine white jurors and three black jurors -- decided, by majority, not to indict Officer Wilson. They could have charged him with first degree murder, second degree murder, manslaughter, or involuntary manslaughter; but they chose not to do so because there was no probable cause to support the plaintiff's case.

However, these facts fail to impress impetuous fools who, for their aggrieved sense of entitlement, prefer to propagate a lie. Even after the race pimps near succeeded in getting Ferguson Missouri burned to the ground, their army of useful idiots continues to stage "protests for justice," which have accomplished little but to block vehicular traffic, block trains, disrupt Christmas shoppers, terrorize children, and foment racial division -- all based on a false narrative.

The lie, which the press propagates and escalates by its uncritical reporting, is contradicted by FBI crime statistics. The lie has its advocates, who for their own monetary and political advantage continue to instigate civil unrest -- they must be held culpable for the damages, injuries and deaths that result. Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, Eric Holder, and Barrack Obama -- all need to stop their race baiting and start reading facts: In 2009 there were 408,217 robberies -- about 1 per minute per day; and thus, at a frequency of 1,000 times per day, the police were summoned. If an "epidemic" of white police officers shooting unarmed black teens truly exists, then why do we only hear of such accusations only every few years? Where is the epidemic?

The 2010 National Crime Victim Survey (NCVS) shows 62,593 acts of white on black assaults; but 320,082 acts of black on white assaults. Black on white crime is 5X larger. However, there are 38 million black Americans and 197 million white Americans ... So, when adjusted for population, blacks assault whites 25X more frequently. Black on white aggravated assault is 200X higher. NCVS statistics -- all of which are suppressed by the media -- show that in 2010 there were 13 thousand black on white rapes and 39,000 black on white robberies. What of white on black violence for these same crimes? The figure was so small that, when rounded to the nearest whole number, it equaled zero.

White racism is not acceptable in America today; but black racism and acts of rage are both tolerated and openly encouraged. Politically-motivated race hustlers are guilty of fomenting envy, entitlement, lies, anger, lawlessness and violence in America. The media gives such individuals a free pass on their actions, while it continues to propagate the propaganda of the Left, whose goal is to destroy this country by any means possible. Barrack Obama, and the Democrat Party he leads, are all too willing to get the job done. A term exists for this behavior -- fomenting insurrection ... which is a treasonous act. We do have an epidemic in this country -- not of white racism, but rather it is a plague of lies.

  • Bruce always seems a little hysterical, but he touches on important things. The minority populations are growing very quickly. They appear to come together as though they have a common bond. See this from the Pew foundation -- "The minority groups that carried President Obama to victory yesterday by giving him 80% of their votes are on track to become a majority of the nation's population by 2050, according to projections by the Pew Research Center." --- The idea here - that there is discord among the minorities as a group and whites - is something everyone should note. I doubt that the problem is going away any time soon. In my view, the USA has 2 huge problems. The 1st being a government that just keeps getting bigger and more expensive. The second being race relations. I'm curious to find out if they are solvable problems.

  • Thanks for the crime figures on race. Wish that we were at a point where crime stats were not kept on the race of the perp and vic.

  • With the execution of 3 police officers, race relations are now normal.

  • Sharpton, Obama, Holder and the New York City mayor will encourage protests, marches and looting as a response to the law enforcement officer killings?
