There are numerous fake news stories that have persisted over time and, despite lacking any truth, have transformed into urban legends. These wild tales have been thoroughly disproven by factual evidence, yet the media presented them as actual events, so the lies became rooted within society. Take, for instance, the legendary fairytale of “Hands Up Don’t Shoot,” which paints violent thug Michael Brown, who tried to take a police officer’s gun, as an innocent victim, or the hoax known as “Many Fine People” that falsely claims President Trump praised neo-Nazis, despite no such incident ever occurring. These stories, along with similar ones, contribute to the left’s agenda of fueling a fabricated race war in our country. And one of the left’s most powerful weapons in this war is a lie that centers around the notion that thousands of innocent and unarmed black people are shot and killed by evil police every year. It’s simply not true.
However, the media is extremely cunning in their presentation of this specific fake story. They skillfully avoid providing any concrete statistics; doing so would expose their entire lie, which is as fragile as a sandcastle during high tide. Instead, they get creative with their wording, just like in this recent article from the New York Times, where they discuss the “psychological strain” from repeated reports of police brutality against Black people.

The Times cleverly reinforced the idea that black people are victims being targeted by the police, using a clickbait title that conveniently omits actual statistics. In reality, only eleven unarmed black men were shot by police in 2021 — the most recent statistical year. Eleven.
One Twitter-user who goes by the name “The Rabbit Hole” actually called out the New York Times for their fake reporting.
Perception: A large number of unarmed black men are being shot by police officers in the United States.
Reality: 11 unarmed black men were fatally shot by police in 2021.
There’s something sinister about Legacy Media crafting a false narrative of large scale police violence against Black people and then interviewing demoralized Blacks to pump out articles.

Here’s a closeup of the graph and what Rabbit Hole said about it:
Interestingly, when I’ve posted this graphic recently people have backpedaled away from the false claim of large scale police violence against blacks to instead saying “even 1 is too many.”
I view this as progress. The big lie of large scale police-on-black violence is being debunked and the delusional utopian thought process behind it is being exposed.

However, too many people are still ill-informed. If you ask many individuals on the left about the number of unarmed black people shot and killed by police, they will likely claim it’s in the thousands or even millions. For instance, there was one Gen Z activist named Jeremey who recently appeared on a podcast and claimed that 30 percent of the black population are killed by police every year. As a result, he was brutally throttled and publicly humiliated.
Gen-Z For Change's @hellyeahjeremy just claimed that 30% of the entire black population are unarmed and killed by the police every year.
Yes, he is claiming that over 13 million unarmed black people are killed yearly. ?
This is BEYOND INSANE and @NuanceBro let him know… ? pic.twitter.com/EwGKPs0njM

The mainstream media is pretty cunning in how it presents provocative content. When they lack statistics and facts to support their claims, they resort to subtle suggestions and allusions to validate these “dire situations” that aren’t actually real.
The true long-term danger of propaganda news lies in its ability to trigger race wars through blatant falsehoods.
