The graph above shows the perception (created by the media).<\/p>\n The article\u00a0 notes:<\/p>\n The bars are color-coded to reflect the estimation in each political ideology category. Very Liberal respondents were the furthest from reality: 14.29% said \u2018about 10,000\u2019 unarmed black males were killed by police, while 31.43% said \u2018about 1,000.\u2019 Liberals were slightly closer at 6.67% saying \u2018about 10,000\u2019 and 26.67% saying \u2018about 1,000.\u2019 According to the database at Mapping Police Violence<\/a>, this number was actually 27.<\/strong><\/p>\n The article also includes a chart of arrests sorted by race:<\/p>\n As you can see, the media is creating a false narrative.<\/p>\n The article concludes:<\/p>\n Amidst a rising \u201cepidemic\u201d of violent crime, the radical left wants to slash police funding. Many cities are already paying the price. Portland cut police funding and saw a startling 2,000% surge<\/a> in murders. New York City, under Mayor de Blasio, reduced police funding and experienced a 127% increase<\/a> in shootings.

This ignorance is leading Americans to adopt disastrous policies, such as \u2018defunding the police.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n There is an element in our media and among some elected officials that would like to ‘reset’ our country into an image where they have more power and average people have no power. One way to do this is to disrupt totally the current paradigm. That is the reason the reporting and actual numbers are so out of sync. All Americans need to do their own research before believing anything they are told!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We have all recently heard many of our politicians claim that America is a ‘systemically racist country’ and that the police kill African-Americans at a much higher rate than they kill white Americans.
