Black lives matter was created in 2013 by three black activists: Alicia Garza,
Patrice Cullors, and
Opal Tometi.
These 3 black women wanted to create "a black centered political will and movement" in response to the shooting death of Florida teenager TRAYVON MARTIN in 2012 and the acquittal of the man responsible for his death George Zimmerman a year later. Black Lives  Matter has been the driving force behind the change that is needed to fight for freedom , liberation and justice for the black people.

The Alton Sterling and Philando Castile shootings have caused an uproar among leftists because they fuel their narrative that racist white police officers are hunting down innocent black men. But the statistics - brought to light by the superb work of Heather Mac Donald - tell a different story.

Here are five key statistics you need to know about cops killing blacks.

1. Cops killed nearly twice as many whites as blacks in 2015. According to data compiled by The Washington Post, 50 percent of the victims of fatal police shootings were white, while 26 percent were black. The majority of these victims had a gun or "were armed or otherwise threatening the officer with potentially lethal force," according to Mac Donald in a speech at Hillsdale College.

Some may argue that these statistics are evidence of racist treatment toward blacks, since whites consist of 62 percent of the population and blacks make up 13 percent of the population. But as Mac Donald writes in The Wall Street Journal, 2009 statistics from the Bureau of Justice Statistics reveal that blacks were charged with 62 percent of robberies, 57 percent of murders and 45 percent of assaults in the 75 biggest counties in the country, despite only comprising roughly 15 percent of the population in these counties.

"Such a concentration of criminal violence in minority communities means that officers will be disproportionately confronting armed and often resisting suspects in those communities, raising officers' own risk of using lethal force," writes MacDonald.

MacDonald also pointed out in her Hillsdale speech that blacks "commit 75 percent of all shootings, 70 percent of all robberies, and 66 percent of all violent crime" in New York City, even though they consist of 23 percent of the city's population.

"The black violent crime rate would actually predict that more than 26 percent of police victims would be black," MacDonald said. "Officer use of force will occur where the police interact most often with violent criminals, armed suspects, and those resisting arrest, and that is in black neighborhoods."

2. More whites and Hispanics die from police homicides than blacks. According to Mac Donald, 12 percent of white and Hispanic homicide deaths were due to police officers, while only four percent of black homicide deaths were the result of police officers.

"If we're going to have a 'Lives Matter' anti-police movement, it would be more appropriately named "White and Hispanic Lives Matter,'" said Mac Donald in her Hillsdale speech.

3. The Post's data does show that unarmed black men are more likely to die by the gun of a cop than an unarmed white man...but this does not tell the whole story. In August 2015, the ratio was seven-to-one of unarmed black men dying from police gunshots compared to unarmed white men; the ratio was six-to-one by the end of 2015. But Mac Donald points out in The Marshall Project that looking at the details of the actual incidents that occurred paints a different picture:

The "unarmed" label is literally accurate, but it frequently fails to convey highly-charged policing situations. In a number of cases, if the victim ended up being unarmed, it was certainly not for lack of trying. At least five black victims had reportedly tried to grab the officer's gun, or had been beating the cop with his own equipment. Some were shot from an accidental discharge triggered by their own assault on the officer. And two individuals included in the Post's "unarmed black victims" category were struck by stray bullets aimed at someone else in justified cop shootings. If the victims were not the intended targets, then racism could have played no role in their deaths.

In one of those unintended cases, an undercover cop from the New York Police Department was conducting a gun sting in Mount Vernon, just north of New York City. One of the gun traffickers jumped into the cop's car, stuck a pistol to his head, grabbed $2,400 and fled. The officer gave chase and opened fire after the thief again pointed his gun at him. Two of the officer's bullets accidentally hit a 61-year-old bystander, killing him. That older man happened to be black, but his race had nothing to do with his tragic death. In the other collateral damage case, Virginia Beach, Virginia, officers approached a car parked at a convenience store that had a homicide suspect in the passenger seat. The suspect opened fire, sending a bullet through an officer's shirt. The cops returned fire, killing their assailant as well as a woman in the driver's seat. That woman entered the Post's database without qualification as an "unarmed black victim" of police fire.

Mac Donald examines a number of other instances, including unarmed black men in San Diego, CA and Prince George's County, MD attempting to reach for a gun in a police officer's holster. In the San Diego case, the unarmed black man actually "jumped the officer" and assaulted him, and the cop shot the man since he was "fearing for his life." MacDonald also notes that there was an instance in 2015 where "three officers were killed with their own guns, which the suspects had wrestled from them."

4. Black and Hispanic police officers are more likely to fire a gun at blacks than white officers. This is according to a Department of Justice report in 2015 about the Philadelphia Police Department, and is further confirmed that by a study conducted University of Pennsylvania criminologist Greg Ridgeway in 2015 that determined black cops were 3.3 times more likely to fire a gun than other cops at a crime scene.

5. Blacks are more likely to kill cops than be killed by cops. This is according to FBI data, which also found that 40 percent of cop killers are black. According to Mac Donald, the police officer is 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black than a cop killing an unarmed black person.

Despite the facts, the anti-police rhetoric of Black Lives Matter and their leftist sympathizers have resulted in what Mac Donald calls the "Ferguson Effect," as murders have spiked by 17 percent among the 50 biggest cities in the U.S. as a result of cops being more reluctant to police neighborhoods out of fear of being labeled as racists. Additionally, there have been over twice as many cops victimized by fatal shootings in the first three months of 2016.

Anti-police rhetoric has deadly consequences.

Over the past several years the data of blacks killed by the police in the US  has been alarmingly high,  This data shows whites, blacks and Hispanics from 2015-2017  that were killed by the cops although they were unarmed.
Data shows that year after year the race that were murdered by the cops at a disproportionately high rate were the blacks.  In 2016 and 2017 the rates decreased, but the blacks were still above the whites and Hispanics.

Data Analysis & Finding Part 2 Continued

According to the data. complied by Vice News  for the years
2010 through 2016 black people were shot by cops at a higher rate than Asians, Whites and Latinos.

The blacks were shot at a rate a little more than 2 people per every 100,00 people compared to less than 1 per 100, 000 people for each of the other races.

According to the Cenus white people make up more than 75% of the U.S. population and black people only make up 13% of the U.S. population, but there are more blacks being shot by cops even though they make up a small fraction of the population.

On average, police in the United States shoot and kill more than 1,000 people every year, according to an ongoing analysis by The Washington Post.

After Michael Brown, an unarmed Black man, was killed in 2014 by police in Ferguson, Mo., a Post investigation found that data reported to the FBI on fatal police shootings was undercounted by more than half. That gap has widened in recent years. By 2021, only a third of departments' fatal shootings appeared in the FBI database.

This is largely because local police departments are not required to report these incidents to the federal government. Also compounding the problem: an updated FBI system for reporting data and confusion among local law enforcement about reporting responsibilities.

As part of its investigation, The Post began in 2015 to log every person shot and killed by an on-duty police officer in the United States. Since then, reporters have recorded thousands of deaths. In 2022, The Post updated its database to standardize and publish the names of the police agencies involved in each shooting to better measure accountability at the department level.

How 2023 compares with previous calendar years

The number of fatal police shootings has risen slightly in recent years. Police killed the highest number of people on record in 2022.

Black Americans are killed at a much higher rate than White Americans

Although half of the people shot and killed by police are White, Black Americans are shot at a disproportionate rate. They account for roughly 14 percent of the U.S. population and are killed by police at more than twice the rate of White Americans. Hispanic Americans are also killed by police at a disproportionate rate.

Most victims are young

More than half of people shot and killed by police are between 20 and 40 years old.

An overwhelming majority of the victims are male - over 95 percent.

Black unarmed people are more likely than whites to be killed by cops. It has been the reality that we live in for 100's  of years and at this very moment we are trying to change that. The Black Lives Matter movement has become popular because many black lives were lost for absolutely no reason by the hands of white police officers or others that thought they were above the law. We also have to remember 80% of the white people who took these people lives have not been charged or even been arrested. If it was the other way around, the outcome would be different. The Black Lives Matter movement is organizing protests as well as fighting for the justice that all black people deserve.

Black Lives matter  has begun trending  once again after footage of the arrest and death of George Floyd went viral inciting national outrage.

The 46 year old died on May 25 after former cop Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes while arresting Floyd in Minneapolis.

All four officers involved have been arrested & Chauvin has been charged with second degree murder while the other officers face charges of aiding and abetting murder and second degree manslaughter.

Since Floyd's death, tens of thousands of Americans have protested against racism in the United States and around the world fighting for black lives.

The injustice that Black people have faced for hundreds of years is not going to be swept under the rug anymore. There are many  people not just blacks that are tired of seeing the black people being treated like they do not matter.

The Black Lives Matter movement campaigns against the violence and systematic racism towards black people and with them helping to lead the change we hope that the change will happen soon.

"The Black live matter is a human rights movement that campaigns against systemic racism and violence inflicted on black people. The black lives matter foundation seeks to highlight the injustices endured by black people and the lack of accountability American society and law enforcement have towards individuals and systems that inflict them."  ERICA DAVIS - JUNE 11 2020

"Its Bigger Then Black and white its a problem with black people living there own life and white people think it can change overnight but we gotta have to start somewhere might as well go head and start here, we done have a hell of a year"  "Lil baby The Bigger Picture" June 13 2020

I agree on what everything lil baby and Erica Dvis are saying because all of these things are happening to our black community. For example they training officers to kills us, the shooting protestors with these rubber bullets.. I know most of them hate there job right now but the also acting like they don't have choice, they can quit but also I do understand that they have a family to feed but also there child black friends can be looking at your family different now because your family member that is a cop is outside shooting rubber bullets at black people because we angry. Like cmon they are regular people just like us I
know that they feel the pain we feeling.

BLACK Lives Matter has grown from a fringe activist group to a mainstream movement dominating conversations about racism nationwide and abroad.

Thousands of Americans have marched against racial inequality for nearly three weeks as massive demonstrations centered around the movement take place around the country.

Here's how Black Lives Matter came about and what's happened in the years since the movement began.

What is Black Lives Matter?

Black Lives Matter is a human rights movement that campaigns against systemic racism and violence inflicted on black people.

The Black Lives Matter Foundation seeks to highlight the injustices endured by black people and the lack of accountability American society and law enforcement have towards individuals and systems that inflict them.

A major focus of the BLM movement is police brutality, which disproportionately affects black people compared to white Americans.

Who started the BLM movement?

BLM was started in 2013 by three black activists: Alicia Garza, Patrice Cullors, and Opal Tometi.

The movement aims to eradicate white supremacy and dismantle systemic racism.

The women wanted to create "a Black-centered political will and movement" in response to the shooting death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012 and the acquittal of the man responsible for his death George Zimmerman a year later.

In the seven years since BLM launched, the movement has expanded to include more than 40 chapters internationally, according to its website.

Why has it started trending now?

Black Lives Matter began trending after footage of the arrest and death of George Floyd went viral, inciting national outrage.

The 46-year-old dad died on May 25 after former cop Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes while arresting Floyd in Minneapolis.

All four officers involved have been arrested; Chauvin has been charged with second-degree murder, while Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng, and Thomas Lane face charges of aiding and abetting murder and second-degree manslaughter.

Since Floyd's death, tens of thousands of Americans have protested against racism in the US and around the world.

Demonstrators have waved flags and signs bearing the black power fist and have donated to BLM or signed petitions to support the movement.

What does Blue Lives Matter mean?

"Blue Lives Matter" is a countermovement advocating for the protection of law enforcement officers and that those who are prosecuted and convicted of killing them should be sentenced for a hate crime.

It was started in direct response to Black Lives Matter following the 2014 killings of NYPD officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu.

Supporters of Blue Lives Matter have used the movement to criticize BLM activists.

The countermovement's symbol of a black and white American flag with a singular blue line, known as the "Thin Blue Line", has been adopted by white nationalists as a rejection of BLM, according to New Jersey-based outlet Baristanet.

Which celebrities have been fired after accusations of racism?

Several celebrities have been accused of or called out for past instances of racism in the wake of America's recent reckoning with racial inequality.

MTV severed ties with The Challenger contestant Dee Nguyen after she tweeted a series of offensive remark s about BLM.

The network also fired Teen Mom star Taylor Selfridge on Wednesday for racially insensitive remarks she had tweeted in the past.

MTV also pulled a special chronicling the birth of her first child with boyfriend Cory Wharton.

Stassi Schroeder fell out with ex-costar Faith Stowers after it was revealed that the reality TV star called the cops on her after seeing a report on a black woman who allegedly drugged and robbed men in Los Angeles.

Schroeder was dropped by several sponsors and even fired from Vanderpump Rules following Stower's claims of racist behavior.

Nguyen, Selfridge, and Schroeder have all issued apologies..
