re: Jacoby Stevens appreciation thread

Jacoby is a smart guy and will want to know the facts.

True

Brionna Taylor is the only one out of that group that should still be alive

Douchebag bat signal? I think you call that a mirror.

A few stats that a well-informed young man like Jacoby should memorize:

There are about 48,000,000 black Americans

According to the Washington Post database, in 2019 there were 249 blacks killed by the police: 165 had guns, 33 had knives, and only 14 were unarmed.

By contrast, in 2018 (last year I could find), according to FBI statistics, there were 7,406 black homicides. Well over 90% of them were killed by other blacks.

You are correct, the narrative that the left wing media such as CNN/MSNBC/NYTIMEes have been putting out is that Blacks are being murdered by the Police is just not true. It makes you wonder why they have been pushing this narrative all summer while major cities riot and burn. As long as it was something that could hurt Trump, they said nothing, in fact they encouraged it.

This past week, Don Lemon finally said we need to stop the riots, looting and burning because you know why, not because it is wrong, because it is showing up in the poll numbers and hurting Biden. That is exactly what that POS said.

1) Here are the data for all arrest (Felony and misdemeanors) going back to 1990. In 2018, last year full data, 10.3 million arrests, the lowest number over the entire period, and given our population level, lowest overall crime rate since 1990. I don't know what it will look like in 2020 with all this rioting and looting but the crime numbers in Trump's first 2 years were the lowest on record, and we have more people

LINK

Here are the number of people killed by the police each year going back to 2013. As you can see it is relatively flat at about 1,000 a year.

But as you point out, there are very few instances were a police officer kills someone who is not armed. I mean out 2018 10.3 million police interactions with civilians, 1,000 shot, most of which were legal if the suspect had a weapon and did not comply. Now for the ones where someone was shot unarmed, those are the ones that need to be investigated.

If you want to look at police shootings relative to murder suspects, here are the homocide stats. Once again, in 2018 Trump's 2nd year, the murder rate had gone down significantly from Obama's last year in 2016.

So yes Police reform where needed good, sentencing reforms in laws that treat similar crimes differently and disproportionately impact Black communities , all for.

The narrative by Antifa and BLM and their woke secular White liberal financial backers and Media supporters attacking the Police verbally and physically, wanting to defund and abolish the police is a smokescreen being used for nothing but for the far left to obtain power.


So working to help improve economic, health care, educational opportunities for Black citizens in Louisiana, and all over, all for. It is in that context I support the notion Black Lives matter.

On the other hand, supporting the organization BLM, and its Antifa allies, no freaking way.

I’m here to appreciate Jacoby and his plight. To fully appreciate it, facts are helpful.

You have zero facts and are repeating media propaganda. I've linked the facts in my original post. I may edit this post to provide you with a TL;DR because I know you won't... Maybe you have info that these investigators/judges/winesses/juries/medical examiners don't have.

Michael Brown:

quote:

---

However, as discussed later in this report, those witness accounts could not be relied upon in a
prosecution because credible witness accounts and physical and forensic evidence, i.e. Brown’s
DNA inside the SUV and on Wilson’s shirt collar and the bullet trajectory and close-range
gunshot wound to Brown’s hand, establish that Brown’s arms and/or torso were inside the SUV.

Breona Taylor:

The cops were at the right house. J Glover is the drug dealer they were after. Taylor bailed him out and he used her address as his home. He brought drugs to the trap house under surveillance in her vehicle with her inside multiple times. Kenneth is the other drug dealer she was with and holding both of their money.

Alton Sterling:

quote:

---

Given the totality of the circumstances – that the officers had been fighting with Sterling and had attempted less-than-lethal methods of control; that they knew Sterling had a weapon; that Sterling had reportedly brandished a gun at another person; and that Sterling was much larger and stronger than either officer – the Department cannot prove either that the shots were unconstitutional or that they were willful.  Moreover, two different, independent experts opined that this shooting was not unreasonable given the circumstances.

George Floyd:
The knee restraint IS LEGAL and is in the Minneapolis use-of-force policy.

quote:

---

In one memorandum filed May 26 after a virtual meeting with Baker, the Attorney’s Office said Baker concluded, “The autopsy revealed no physical evidence suggesting that Mr. Floyd died of asphyxiation.” Baker told the attorney his investigation was incomplete pending a toxicology report, however. 

The other memorandum filed June 1 by the Attorney’s Office indicated Baker said Floyd’s level of fentanyl was “pretty high,” and a potentially “fatal level.”

"[Dr. Andrew Baker] said that if Mr. Floyd had been found dead in his home (or anywhere else) and there were no other contributing factors he would conclude that it was an overdose death,” the June 1 memo said.

Trayvon Martin:

quote:

---

After three weeks of testimony, the six-woman jury rejected the prosecution’s contention that Mr. Zimmerman had deliberately pursued Mr. Martin because he assumed the hoodie-clad teenager was a criminal and instigated the fight that led to his death.

---

Zimmerman went to follow Martin and lost him in the heavy rain, it is on his way back to his vehicle that Martin approached Zimmerman and proceeded to bang his head against the concrete.

Jacoby Stevens is a believer and has a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Remember out of the mouth the heart speaks. He is an example of a kid that is smart enough to make his own decisions and go about it in a classy and mature way. He has no hate or an agenda like a Ryan Clark.

I am glad they protesyed peacefully bc it's their right. I don't have to agree with everything but hope some of the guys gravitate to Jacoby his actions speak louder than his words. It all comes down to being educated and being respectful and listening to both parties
