Heather MacDonald is a truth teller in this era of “fake news,” and her piece in National Review is the most recent example.

If you go over to CNN, which I never suggest you do, you would see a headline that screams:

“Black men nearly 3 times as likely to die from police use of force, study says.”

Pretty shocking stuff, right?

Not so fast.

Heather explains, in painstaking detail, why this is completely inaccurate… but here’s the bottom line: the study does not mention violent-crime rates. Of course, violent crime rates “vary enormously by race and predict officer use of force,” but the study nor CNN considered them.

Why? Heather points hits the nail on the head. CNN wanted to hurry up and alarm the public while their “Cop Hater in Chief” was in charge, to give the public a study that could be “wielded as a bludgeon in the current anti-cop crusade.”

I agree with her that this study is “dangerously irresponsible.”

Words have meaning, ideas have consequences. And these stupid, inaccurate studies reverberate through the culture . . . to grave results. What happens when you tell Americans that their police are misguided, racist, and irresponsible?

Well, a funny thing. People believe you.

Over the past few years, black Americans have begun feeling justice hasn’t been served in cases that involve black people, and they are scared and angry. After all, it would be a scary thing to think that police were targeting you, right?

But the facts just don’t bear that out. Police are not targeting black people. In fact, they are risking their lives going into communities and fighting for truth, law, and justice. This CNN study is what happens when “political elites” pair with “media elites” in an effort to stop the truth from reaching ordinary Americans.

Thanks to people like Heather, we’re making sure that won’t happen.
