The following article is a classic example of how the liberal left can look at evidence and immediately ignore the obvious:<\/p>\n
http:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/crime\/stopped-52-times-by-police-was-it-racial-profiling\/ar-BBu75xK?ocid=spartanntp<\/a><\/p>\n The assumption is that Philip Castile was stopped 52 times because of racial profiling.\u00a0 One should note that these traffic stops happened over a span of 14 years, so we are talking about 3 to 4 stops per year.\u00a0 Of course there is no actual evidence of racial profiling:<\/p>\n No recent information is available on the racial breakdown of drivers stopped or ticketed by police in Falcon Heights, the mostly white suburb where the shooting occurred, or in other Minnesota towns. Minnesota is not among the handful of states that require police to keep such data<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n This reminds me of how the New Jersey Highway Patrol was severely criticized for profiling black drivers.\u00a0 This had to be true, because black drivers got more speeding tickets. Then someone did a real study.\u00a0 The results were spectacular but odds are you don\u2019t know that.\u00a0 This study looked at cars that were speeding where cameras verified the race.\u00a0 This showed that black drivers were routinely speeding more than white drivers.\u00a0 When the original study was adjusted to show what percentage of drivers actually speeding got speeding tickets it turned out that whites were more likely than blacks to get a ticket.<\/p>\n That is the problem with the liberal media.\u00a0 They start every article with an assumption, often incorrect, and then mold the facts to fit their opinion.\u00a0 If you want to know why this guy was stopped so many times, ask any cop you know.\u00a0 They will quickly tell you that they usually have a reason for pulling you over.\u00a0 In some cases they may have had a directive from management to issue more tickets. There have even been cases where police were given a quota of tickets to issue.\u00a0 But those cases appear to be rare.\u00a0 In reality police pull people over because something brings this to their attention. I remember once riding with a police officer in a Dallas neighborhood about two o\u2019clock in the morning.\u00a0 He noticed a white guy driving slowing down the street. \u00a0He turned around, put on his flashers and pulled him over for not having a front license plate.\u00a0 I asked him why he did that and he said:<\/p>\n \u201cA white guy in this neighborhood at this hour is either lost or looking to buy drugs.\u00a0 In either case, I want to talk to him.\u201d\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong>In this particular case, the guy was lost.\u00a0 You can call this profiling if you prefer, but what is the option?\u00a0 To pull a TSA and strip search everyone so you avoid appearing to profile the people most likely to be a risk?<\/p>\n What this article ignored was why this guy was pulled over in the first place.<\/p>\n https:\/\/theconservativetreehouse.com\/2016\/07\/08\/confirmed-philando-castile-was-an-armed-robbery-suspect-false-media-narrative-now-driving-cop-killings\/<\/a><\/p>\n It wasn\u2019t because of a broken tail light.\u00a0 This happened during broad day light. There is a video showing the tails working.\u00a0 But more significantly we know why he was pulled over.\u00a0 There is a recording of the traffic stop and the police officers told dispatch why they were pulling this car over.\u00a0 There was a BOLO for an armed suspect who held up a store in the area two days earlier.\u00a0 This guy met the description.<\/p>\n By the way, how many times have you heard that he had a CCW?\u00a0 So far, no one has found any evidence that he had a CCW.\u00a0 It appears as though liberals confused authorization to purchase a gun and a CCW permit.\u00a0 Yes, they are that stupid.\u00a0 If this is accurate, then he couldn\u2019t have been reaching for his CCW permit because he didn\u2019t have one.<\/p>\n By the way, if you look at the video which has caused so much outrage, you can see what looks like a gun in the picture.\u00a0 The witness says he was reaching for his CCW permit which was on his left thigh.\u00a0 That would be a silly place to carry a CCW, but a logical place to carry a gun.<\/p>\n At a minimum there is a lot more to the story, but the main stream media has already portrayed this as an unjustified killing of a black man.\u00a0 Have you ever wondered about that?\u00a0 Whenever a police officer shoots a black man, all the activists assume the officer is guilty and the black man is innocent.\u00a0 Then they claim the problem is too many people assume guilt without evidence.\u00a0 That is true, but so far it sure looks like cops are the ones most likely to be falsely accused.\u00a0 Far too often police officers are tried and convicted in the court of public opinion in a rush to judgement with little or no regard to the actual facts.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t help with the President of the United States weighs in with a patently false charge that we have an epidemic of white police officers killing black people without just cause. There is little evidence of that.\u00a0 The real epidemic is black on black crime and now a dramatic increase in the murder of police officers.<\/p>\n The \u201cvictim\u2019s\u201d family has already raised huge sums of money and they are instant celebrities.\u00a0 People are protesting all over the country and five police officers, from Dallas Texas, were murdered at least partially because too many black people really think cops routinely shoot black guys for no reason. Wow, that really does wonders for race relations in this country.<\/p>\n In case like this, the false narrative tends to live on while the truth is buried.\u00a0 We still see signs at the rallies saying \u201cHands up, don\u2019t shoot\u201d <\/em><\/strong>even though that is based on a patently false eye witness account by a Michael Brown accomplice.\u00a0 Unfortunately the video of this guy making these false charges\u00a0 was broadcast everywhere and far too few people know that his story was so obviously false that even Eric Holder had to acknowledge that and he recommended no charges be brought against the officer who shot Michael Brown.<\/p>\n The best solution to any problem is to start with the truth.\u00a0 Instead we are witnessing the tragic results when the main stream media helps promote a patently false narrative.\u00a0 In reality police, including white police, are not the problem with regard to the devastating increase in black on black crime.\u00a0 They are the solution.\u00a0 This false narrative may pay huge political dividends but only at tremendous personal cost to the people these false prophets claim to represent.<\/p>\n TDM<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The following article is a classic example of how the liberal left can look at evidence and immediately ignore the obvious: http:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/crime\/stopped-52-times-by-police-was-it-racial-profiling\/ar-BBu75xK?ocid=spartanntp The assumption is that Philip Castile was stopped 52 times because of racial profiling.\u00a0 One should note that … Continue reading
