As noted today at OneAmerica News Network: “AG Barr: Work To Be Done To Address Distrust Between African American Community & Law Enforcement”

The first step MUST be honest reporting.

Addressing disproportionate numbers of police-vs-black community member contacts, without noting the disproportionate criminality that causes the contacts, is deceitful…

…and deliberately stokes the fires of perceived racist bigotry in law enforcement.

After all, if 60% of violent crime is committed by a certain group, that group will as a matter of necessity get 60% of law enforcement’s attention…it’s just common sense.

To report otherwise is a dereliction of journalistic duty.

Without honest reporting, misperceptions will continue, regardless of reforms.

Giving credence to a claim of ‘racist’ behavior by cops focusing on blacks while calling any mention of higher percentage of blacks committing crimes as ‘racist’ is dishonest.

Bottom line – mistrust of police will continue until LIBedia begins honest reporting .

PERIOD.
