How can we have a conversation?: Instagram Censors FBI Crime Stats Graph As 'Hate Speech'

There is no doubt that America has a terrible police and gun culture. Every day I see stories like this.

However, when we cannot talk about things - when  it becomes taboo and subject to censorship we are in trouble.  I strongly believe we need to debate this. by putting all the information on the table.

At times like this we need to learn the historical context more than ever.

We need to look at the level of training of police (which, in the United States I believe is fairly minimal) and elements such as the training of police in Israel.

I am sure they don't just learn a lethal technique but they probably pick up a few attitudes as well (Tru News is talking about this today).

Police being armed with personnel carriers and lots of ammunition and being sent to Israel.  Are Police not subject to the policies of those that administer it  - or are they fully self-determining?

You will have a hard job persuading me that it NOT the same Deep State behind all the militarisation of police AND the present agenda.

WASHINGTON POST CRIME STATISTICS

Tucker Carlson the other day discussed statistics that come from now less than the Washington Post. Because it is all behind a paywall and I am not about to subscribe to the #1 propaganda outlet in the word I have not been able to check for myself.

Instead I have taken Tucker Carlson at his word that he is correctly citing the statistics.


And there is this, from about a year ago.

The Post has maintained an extremely accurate account of people shot and killed by America’s police, dating back to 2015, and according to their reporting, last year in 2018, 995 people were shot and killed by police, the lowest number since 2015 when they began collecting and reporting this data publicly.

So, here’s the 2018 breakdown of the 995 people shot and killed by the police.

403 were white, 210 were black, 148 were Hispanic, 38 were classified as other, and 199 were classified as unknown.

Out of that 995, 47 were unarmed — 23 were white, 17 were black, 5 were Hispanic, and 2 were unknown.

Out of the 30-50 million interactions that the police had with the American public last year, 10 million people were arrested, and less than 0.01 percent were shot and killed by the police. Out of those 10 million people arrested, 47 of those shot and killed were unarmed, which equates to 0.00047 percent, 17 of which were black.

CENSORSHIP OF OFFICIAL CRIME STATISTICS

As soon as we can't talk about this openly, hide behind ideology and mark official statistics as "hate crime" we are in trouble. It matters little which part of the political spectrum people come from.

Instagram Censors FBI Crime Stats Graph As 'Hate Speech'

Information Liberation,

8 June, 2020

Facebook-owned Instagram is now censoring FBI crime statistic graphs as "hate speech," according to Blaze TV's Elijah Schaffer.

"Instagram is now removing FBI crime statistic graphs," Schaffer said Saturday on Twitter. "Posted with the necessary citations [as] 'hate speech.'"

"We are getting to the point where narratives are more important than truth," Schaffer said. "And the truth when inconvenient makes you a hateful person. This is 1984."

Posted with the necessary citations

As “hate speech”

We are getting to the point where narratives are more important than truth

And the truth when inconvenient makes you a hateful person

This is 1984

This is the "hate graph" he posted, which is based off FBI crime stats from 2013:

It makes sense that Instagram would want it censored as it debunks the media's entire false victimization narrative.

While Instagram has apparently deemed FBI crime stats off limits, Fox News and the Wall Street Journal are now running them on their front pages.

For example, Fox News included these lines in their headline article on Sunday titled, "Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey rejects city council's push to defund police, despite veto-proof majority":

Nationally, efforts to defund the police have been broadly unpopular, with only about 20 percent of Americans favoring reductions in police forces. Citing publicly available data, commentators have asserted that the very idea of systemic racism by police is questionable."In 2018, the latest year for which such data have been published, African-Americans made up 53% of known homicide offenders in the U.S. and commit about 60% of robberies, though they are 13% of the population," Heather Mac Donald wrote in The Wall Street Journal this week.
"In 2018 there were 7,407 black homicide victims," she went on. "Assuming a comparable number of victims last year, those nine unarmed black victims of police shootings represent 0.1% of all African-Americans killed in 2019. By contrast, a police officer is 18½ times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer."

Mac Donald continued: "A 2015 Justice Department analysis of the Philadelphia Police Department found that white police officers were less likely than black or Hispanic officers to shoot unarmed black suspects. Research by Harvard economist Roland G. Fryer Jr. also found no evidence of racial discrimination in shootings. Any evidence to the contrary fails to take into account crime rates and civilian behavior before and during interactions with police."

Fryer's work has also determined that when police pull out of communities, black deaths tend to increase.

"The false narrative of systemic police bias resulted in targeted killings of officers during the Obama presidency," Mac Donald concluded.

While Instagram is censoring FBI crime stats as "hate speech," on their official account they're still promoting a "disabled trans model" named Aaron Philip who last year explicitly called for the "killing" of all "transphobes."
