Jason Riley Spills the Beans on Race, Policing, and the Media’s Pervasive Deceit
Jason Riley of the WSJ is one of the brightest and most honest observers of the real story with crime, race and policing. His column today about Chicago’s murder crisis is short but devastating. I repeat excerpts after the break, but the entire column is worth the read. Here’s a sample:
The political left, with a great deal of assistance from the mainstream media, has convinced many Americans that George Floyd’s death in police custody is an everyday occurrence for black people in this country, and that racism permeates law enforcement. The reality is that the carnage we witness in Chicago is what’s typical, law enforcement has next to nothing to do with black homicides, and the number of interactions between police and low-income blacks is driven by crime rates, not bias. According to the Sun-Times, there were 492 homicides in Chicago last year, and only three of them involved police.
