Have you heard of this thing where people are saying, if you're white you shouldn't be allowed to call 911? I've seen a few things about it around but it boils my blood too much to read about it.

Yeah but it’s a little more specific than that, it’s “if you’re white, don’t ever call the police on a black person.” It’s all part of this racebaiting delusion that cops are the KKK running around gunning down hordes of innocent black Americans and a white person calling the police on a black person is basically throwing them to the wolves. CNN’s Marc Lamont Hill perfectly summarizes this trope, “When white people call the police on black people, they are flexing the power to possibly determine whether a black person lives or dies… In making that 911 call, they are expressing an indifference to our safety and well being. To ignore this reality is but another act of white supremacy.”

People like Lamont Hill often spread misleading and fabricated information about police shootings. In 2017 he claimed that “Every 28 hours, an unarmed black person is killed by police.” This stat was trumpeted in the media and BLM and it became a hashtag “#every28hours.” They cited 313 unarmed blacks who were killed not only by police, but also security guards and other “vigilantes” in 2012. Dividing 313 into the number of hours in a year yields 28. However 177 of these “unarmed black persons” were actually armed with firearms. That leaves 136. Others such as Michael Brown were shot after attacking an officer and attempting to steal his gun. Many more of these deaths weren’t the result of shootings at all but accidents such as during car chases. When the hyperbole is removed, the facts present a much more reasonable explanation. Barring a small number of tragic cases, police shootings are rare and usually justified.

Let’s look at the other side now. In 2013 alone, 49,851 officers were assaulted with firearms, knives and other weapons. On average, 50 police officers are murdered in the line of duty every year. These include being shot, stabbed, strangled or beaten. Of the several hundred officers murdered in the past decade, 40 percent of the perpetrators were black, despite blacks representing only 13 percent of the population. Blacks are 18.5 times more likely to shoot and kill a police officer than be killed by an officer himself. Do we call this a black war against the police? Plus black and Hispanic police officers are far more likely to fire a gun at blacks than white officers, so is this a racism thing or are black and Hispanic cops white supremacists too?

Also, police don’t just show up to confront a black person for no reason. You first have to commit a crime. Blacks murdered a thousand more people than any other race in 2013 and in prior years it was actually much worse, again despite making up 13 percent of America. In 2007, the CDC broke out total homicide numbers and rates by age and race. The murder rate among blacks is eight times greater than that of whites. This rate can only be comparable to the homicides seen in some of the most violent third-world nations, no other racial or ethnic group in America comes close. For 15 to 29 -year-olds, the murder rate among blacks is 17 times higher than the rate for whites. Also, black-on-white crime is substantially greater than the reverse. Black-on-white murder is more than double the rate of white-on-black murder. In the other categories of violent crime including rape, robbery and aggravated assault, blacks consistently commit a staggering disproportion of the total, anywhere from 40 percent to 50 percent while making up 13 percent of the population. If we want black people to stop getting into confrontations with the police, it appears the solution isn’t making white people stop calling 911 but lowering the colossal rate of black crime altogether. Unarmed, law abiding blacks face no greater danger when dealing with the police than unarmed, law abiding whites.

One of the biggest problems in the black community is the refusal to talk to and cooperate with the police, even if we’ve witnessed a crime or even murder. The pressure from the community steers us away from the police and all we get for it is even more blood. It appears the blacktivists want to expand this dumb street code onto white people. What better way to bring down the massive black crime rates than stigmatizing and shaming the reporting of black crime. Saying that though, there of course has been a few incidents where a white person has called the police on a black person just to be a spiteful bitch, and that totally deserves condemning regardless of race, but these are remote examples that are being used to push a wider and more radical campaign to stop black people from being reported to the police and it’s eerily similar to the propaganda seen in the UK and Europe where reporting migrants/Muslims is “instant Islamophobia and racism!”

Mini Mindfulness Break for May 22, 2020 . The First Step . For white America, [the] systematic undoing of centuries of racial indoctrination, [the] letting go of the 'conceptual paint' it has uncritically absorbed about black Americans, is the necessary first step toward the epistemological humility and egoless listening we are morally obliged to bring to our encounters with all Others. Another name for such selfless, healing listening is love. .

The Every 28 Hours Plays @ CSUDH

6pm -8pm: Reading of #Every28Hours Plays 8pm - 9pm: Discussion and Reflection *At the Performing Arts Theatre: https://g.co/kgs/0poctp *No tickets required* *Parking: $6* (http://www4.csudh.edu/theatre-arts/university-theatre/) The Every 28 Hours Plays consist of around 72 one-minute plays inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement and features participation from artists across the nation. These plays were created with the goal of capturing the history in the making of our current Civil Rights Movement. The title of the project is inspired by the contested nature of the statistic that every twenty-eight hours a black person is killed by a security guard, vigilante, or police by extrajudicial violence. The plays will be presented and followed by a panel discussion lead by community activists and professionals to stimulate audience dialogue over this most timely and urgent issue. The Every 28 Hours Plays were co-created and produced between Dominic D’Andrea of The One-Minute Play Festival (1MPF) & Claudia Alick of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF), with the participation of playwrights, guest artists, and St. Louis artists and community members. Originally created and produced in the St. Louis community, the third phase of the project is a coordinated series of national readings and engagements all over the country sponsored and presented by our partnering theatres. For more information on the original artists who created this body of work, please visit: www.thefergusonmoment.com and https://www.osfashland.org/experience-osf/upcoming/every-28-hours.aspx

#every28hours To wake up and realize another one of these killings have happened, when our tears aren’t yet dry from Tamir, Eric, Mike, Akai… It’s heart-wrenching, it’s enraging, and it happens every 28 hours.This is why our #blacklivesmatter event on Saturday is important. We need to keep these conversations happening. These are not isolated incidents. The narrative will certainly be rewritten by the time major media picks up this story. #ripantoniomartin

Stop killing us. please. please. please. please. please.

It's mentally draining knowing that any day can be your last due to the jumpy trigger finger of a cop.

Rest in peace to all the brothers and sisters out there who have been murdered by the police and to those who are dealing with the consequences of an unjust and unfair system and are missing someone right now, you are in my prayers.

To everyone else, be safe. You already know that but this is your reminder...be safe.
