Did BLM actions save Black lives?
DAVID STROM 5:21 PM on September 22, 2023
   
 
Statistics show that one of the many effects the BLM protests and the accompanying “Defund the Police” movement had was a reduction in the number of people shot by police.

BLM got going about 10 years ago, and since that time about 200 fewer people have been killed by police.

Can BLM claim to have saved 200 lives? It certainly can, as long as the only question is “Have fewer people died in police custody or pursuits?”

Of course in the real world we look for net effects. We could stop every death from getting hit by ambulances speeding to the hospital by eliminating ambulances. Think of the lives saved! (I have no idea how many, but you get the point). As long as you ignore the fact that eliminating ambulances would cost countless lives you can point to all the accidents prevented.

Fun Fact:  It's been 7 years since BLM was founded. They have raised over $1 BILLION.

They haven't had 1 neighborhood cleanup, sent 1 poor black child to college, bought school supplies, fed the hungry, donated to a food bank or provided housing to 1 poor black family.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Not only did the numbers of homicides of blacks killed by other blacks spike, the numbers of automobile fatalities of blacks mowed down by other blacks has spiked as well.
The BLM movement has caused thousands more blacks to die from  the slackening of law enforcement resulting in more blacks being gunned down by other blacks and more blacks being mowed down by other blacks.
A rank disaster like all those types of movements.
