According to race baiters, the inordinately tragic fatal shooting of Dallas resident Botham Shem Jean by inept local police officer Amber Guyger would never occur to a white man or woman.
Well, that’s a whopper of a lie. My proof? Take a look at the photo below, and let me know in the comments section if the gentleman looks even remotely black:
He doesn’t, does he? Yet he died in circumstances very similar to those of Jean’s, according to David French of National Review:
In the early morning hours of July 15, 2012, a young man named Andrew Scott was up late, home with his girlfriend. They were playing video games when they heard a loud pounding on the door. Alarmed, Scott grabbed a pistol and opened the door. He saw a man crouching outside in the darkness. Scott retreated, gun still at his side, pointing down to the ground.
Almost instantly, the crouching figure fired his own weapon. The encounter was over in two seconds. Scott lay on the ground, dead. The man who fired? He was a police officer. He was at the wrong house. Andrew Scott was a completely innocent man who had done nothing more than exercise his constitutional right to keep and bear arms in defense of his own home.
As for the officer? Well, not only was he at the wrong house, but he had no search warrant even for the correct house, he had not turned on his emergency lights, and he did not identify himself as police when he pounded on the door.
Is police brutality/ineptitude real? YES. Is it an issue that needs to be addressed? ABSOLUTELY. Should it be addressed through the lens of race? NO! Why not? Because it isn’t a race-based issue, and the facts prove it.
A study conducted by Washington State University researcher Lois James back in 2016 “found that police officers were less likely to shoot unarmed black suspects than unarmed white or Hispanic ones in simulated threat scenarios,” according to Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute.
Another study by Harvard economics professor Roland Fryer found that “there is zero evidence of racial bias in police shootings. In Houston, he found that blacks were 24% less likely than whites to be shot by officers even though the suspects were armed or violent.”
She lays out additional facts in the video below:
The truth is that while blacks are right to be outraged about police brutality and ineptitude like that committed by Guyger, they’re not the only ones who face such tragedies. And this is a fact that desperately needs to be recognized by not only them but by their allies in the Democrat Party and left-wing media as well!
