You need to check the definition of "anecdotal". Fact: The policeman was killed. Fact: He was killed by a black man. Fact: BLM rhetoric is anti-police. Reasonable assumption, but not a fact: The man who killed the policeman was influenced by BLM rhetoric.
Fact: Obfuscating black protests is one of the many tactics racists use to disempower black social movements. Fact: They said Martin Luther King hated America and white people too. Different century, same modus operandi. You need to check the definition of racist. Fact: someone who disagrees with every protest, every speech, every activist, every essay, every piece of data, every study that supports civil rights for black people is racist.
By the way, you have previously either refused to respond or dismissed the source when I provided statistics to show that an unarmed white person is more likely to be killed by the police than an unarmed black person.
Because you're lying once again, misrepresenting data. A 5th grade math teacher can explain proportions to you. Here's a study by Yale, you may have heard of them:
Over the past five years there has been no reduction in the racial disparity in fatal police shooting victims despite increased use of body cameras.

Over the past five years there has been no reduction in the racial disparity in fatal police shooting victims despite increased use of body cameras and closer media scrutiny, according to a new report by researchers at Yale and the University of Pennsylvania..... In the case of armed victims, Native Americans were killed by police at a rate three times that of white people (77 total killed). Black people were killed at 2.6 times the rate of white people (1,265 total killed)
Reducing crime isn't even a part of American politics, on either side. Allowing civilians to run wild and free preying on each other is massively profitable for the state. Americans gladly trade safety for the joy of seeing as many black people in jail as possible, regardless of whether or not they pose a legitimate threat to the public. Many of them don't. Cutting the nose off to spite the face, and happy to fund this with your taxes.
Meanwhile, white boys publicly post murder manifestos before executing mass shootings and you weep for the victims but refuse to put yourselves under the same microscope you use to dissect and psychoanalyze blackness. Nobody is safe in this country. Not Muslims, not women, not black people, not Jews, and even white men know they aren't safe hence the gun debate being THE definitive issue for conservative white male politics. MAH GUNZ. A vast majority of serial killers and mass shooters are white men, where's that conversation? Where are the conversations about white collar crime committed by mega corporations? What about sexual violence? We talk about the Middle East like it's so dangerous for women as if 1 in 6 American women aren't victims of sex crimes. And that's not the worst part, many offenders rack up victims, empowered by a system that all but refuses to prosecute sex crimes.
You know what reduces crime? Social programs. Mental healthcare. Nobody is even proposing that we fund these things, Americans actually enjoy talking about crime and have this weird perverse almost sexual gratification from discussing it not to be productive or find solutions but to prove a point about how incapable and dangerous black people are. Well, this new anti-crime spirit is mighty convenient after 400 years of crimes against humanity that were entirely unprosecuted and in fact erased from the history books. As long as we've been having these conversations we aren't even 2 inches closer to finding a solution. We rehash the same themes every time: "Police are the Avengers and black people are dangerous."
The woman behind Emmitt Till's lynching is still alive, why isn't she in jail? Because she's white and he's black. The same people screaming BLUELIVESMATTER have nothing to say about the Jan 6 insurrectionists sending several cops to the ICU, one to the morgue and another to earily retirement from his injuries and emotional trauma. A skeptical person might think it was never about police and was just one of the million ways Americans find to passively give black people the middle finger, eager to use other humans as a prop to do so.
