Left sides with criminals and pretends mythical 'white supremacist' are the threat

 NY Post:

The Biden Justice Department is finally acknowledging the war on cops: FBI Director Christopher Wray denounced the 59% increase in cop murders in 2021.

An officer is murdered nearly once every five days, yet violence against law enforcement “doesn’t get enough attention,” Wray said Sunday on CBS’s “60 Minutes.”

That is an understatement. Wray’s bosses — Attorney General Merrick Garland and President Joe Biden — have instead focused almost exclusively on alleged white-supremacist criminality, which they claim is the biggest domestic threat facing the country today.

That charge is preposterous. It is violent street crime — drive-by shootings, sadistic robberies, carjackings — that has been destroying lives at an increasing rate since the George Floyd race riots. White-supremacist violence played no role in the record-breaking 29% national homicide increase in 2020 or in the ongoing crime surge since then.

As startling as that 2020 homicide increase was, cop murders rose at twice that rate in 2021. A significant portion of those fatalities were ambushes, which were up 91% by mid-2021. Through April 26 of this year, gun murders of cops are up another 13% over the same period in 2021. Shootings of officers, lethal and nonlethal, were up 43% by early April.

These cop killings emerge from a national rhetoric of cop hatred and racial animosity. The Floyd riots and their long aftermath featured the graffiti tag ACAB (All Cops Are Bastards) sprayed across public buildings from New York City to Seattle.

Biden has repeatedly alleged that black parents are right to fear that their children will be shot by a police officer every time those kids go outside. This charge, too, defies reality.

At least 50 black children were fatally gunned down in 2020 — an unthinkable toll if the children had been white. Those young black victims, many of them toddlers, were killed by black criminals, not by police officers, and were therefore ignored by Black Lives Matter activists and the mainstream media.

The wider charge — that police shootings of black men are epidemic — is likewise echoed by Biden and likewise fallacious. Six unarmed blacks were fatally shot by the police in 2021, according to The Washington Post’s classification of unarmed victims of police shootings, out of a self-identified national black population of nearly 47 million. (By contrast, Biden judicial nominee Nusrat Choudhury has claimed that cops kill unarmed black men every day.) Seventy-three police officers were murdered in 2021, out of a national law enforcement body of well under 700,000 officers.
...

The left is too attached to the BLM criminal support group that mainly cares about blacks hurt while resisting arrest and ignores black on black crime which kills substantially more people.  The left in this country is just not credbilble in its approach to crime and most of the victims are blacks.
