		<description><![CDATA[Misinformation that kills. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Police-IMG_4105.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-248432" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Police-IMG_4105-397x350.jpg" alt="Police-IMG_4105" width="330" height="291" /></a>Recently, I claimed that everyone—politicians, academics, and media commentators—who promoted the idea that police brutality is a national “epidemic,” or even a “growing concern,” as one self-styled libertarian put it, share some culpability for the murders of the two NYPD officers who were gunned down in their vehicle right before Christmas.</p>
<p>More specifically, they are responsible, obviously, not for intending or consciously encouraging the murder of police, but for creating a climate for police officers that’s even more hostile than that in which officers must spend their days and nights.  After all, we don’t need Richard Weaver to inform us that “ideas have consequences.”  Even simpletons and liars will concede this much.</p>
<p>And only simpletons and liars can deny that this idea—the idea of a “pandemic” of police brutality sweeping the nation—has the consequence of endangering police officers.</p>
<p>Yet this idea isn’t just dangerous.</p>
<p>It is also a lie.  And it is a huge lie at that.</p>
<p>“Police brutality” is an all-purpose piece of rhetoric that, as such, can mean anything and everything—and, thus, nothing at all. When anti-police misologists—a “misologist” was the word that the 18<sup>th</sup> century philosopher Immanuel Kant used when referring to an enemy of reason—sound off about “police brutality,” they are referring to the police’s unjustified use of force.</p>
<p>Now, all but anarchists concede that police are authorized to use force when necessary and when it’s proportionate to the situation in question. When, however, the force deployed is unnecessary and/or excessive, then the force is unjustified. This—the unnecessary and/or excessive use of force—is “police brutality.”</p>
<p>So, is this a growing national phenomenon, an epidemic?</p>
<p>Not even close.</p>
<p>According to the Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), in 1999, of 44 million people who had face-to-face interactions with police officers, less than one-half of one percent was “threatened with or actually experienced force.”</p>
<p>Notice, the assertion here isn’t that less than one-half of one percent—it bears repeating: one-half of one percent!—was subjected to the use of unjustified force; the claim is that of 44 million, this miniscule fraction of people were either threatened with—threatened with—or subjected to the use of force per se.</p>
<p>What this in turn means is that the number of people who were “brutalized” by police is even smaller than “less than one-half of one percent.”</p>
<p>According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ Police-Public Contact Survey (PPCS), of a national population estimate of roughly 240, 000,000 comprised of people of 16 years of age or older, of those who dealt with the police in some capacity in 2002, 2005, and 2008, 1.5%, 1.6%, and 1.4%, respectively, were either threatened with or subjected to force by the police.</p>
<p>In 2008, 22% of those falling into the latter group admitted that they “argued with, cursed at, insulted, or verbally threatened the police.”  Twelve percent reported that they were “disobeying” and/or “interfering” with police.</p>
<p>Of the 84% of people who felt that the threat or use of police use force was “improper,” only 14% filed a complaint.</p>
<p>To further underscore just what a whopper of a lie is the notion that “police brutality” is a nationwide epidemic, consider this: Among those included in the class of people who have had to deal with police are those who have called on the police for assistance.  And among those who have done so, about 85 percent claimed to have been “satisfied with the police response.”  Moreover—shocker of shockers!—Hispanics (86%) and blacks (85%) were slightly more satisfied than were whites (83%). Finally, about 90 percent of people who requested police assistance said that they would do so again.</p>
<p>Only in the fevered imagination of the cop-hating ideologue is “police brutality” a national crisis, or any sort of crisis.</p>
<p>Of course, none of this is to deny that there are bad cops.  Genuinely abusive police officers, like those who abuse their power and authority anywhere, deserve to be crucified.  But there is zero justification for abstracting from these relatively few instances a rule encompassing police officers generally.</p>
<p>Numbers aside, just some rudimentary common sense—a rare commodity nowadays, and practically nonexistent among the police-hating ideologues—should determine that in this Age of the Camera—a time in which everyone and their mother is armed with surveillance apparatus—the police have no real option but to be better behaved than ever before.</p>
<p>Jeremy Bentham described the doctrine of “natural rights” as “nonsense on stilts.”  The dogma—and make no mistakes about it, for the anti-police misologists, this is nothing less than a dogma—that “police brutality” is an epidemic, a crisis, blah, blah, blah, is indeed nonsense on stilts.  But it is more than this: It is nonsense that kills.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Debunking the lie that black drivers are pulled over more often because of racism.  ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/radar-1-0819-dcgjpg-91ea17025ff934f6_large.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-240230" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/radar-1-0819-dcgjpg-91ea17025ff934f6_large.jpg" alt="radar-1-0819-dcgjpg-91ea17025ff934f6_large" width="328" height="250" /></a>In an article about police shootings in last Sunday&#8217;s New York Times (8/31), Michael Wines disputes the conventional wisdom about a disproportionate number of African-Americans being shot by police, saying there are no data one way or another. But Wines revives the canard about blacks being disproportionately targeted in traffic stops.</p>
<p>There actually is a study for that.</p>
<p>Throughout the 1990s, the nation was fixated on tales of jack-booted New Jersey state troopers who were stopping speeders on the turnpike just because they were black! In a 2000 primary debate, Vice President Al Gore sneered at then-New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley, saying, &#8220;Racial profiling practically began in New Jersey, Senator Bradley.&#8221;</p>
<p>Attorney General Eric Holder recently paid tribute to the myth, claiming that when he was in college, he had been stopped &#8220;driving from New York to Washington.&#8221; He didn&#8217;t mention how fast he was going.</p>
<p>The story never made sense. How could the troopers tell the race of drivers in speeding cars? Did they wait until the driver rolled down his window and, if he was white, say, &#8220;Oh, sorry &#8212; have a nice day!&#8221;</p>
<p>But the Clinton administration was slapping consent decrees for racial profiling on police departments across the country, and the N.J. highway patrol was its prime evidence, based on a study that a child wouldn&#8217;t believe.</p>
<p>As is usually the case with bogus race studies, the pivotal 1993 survey compared speed stops on the New Jersey turnpike to the population of all drivers on the turnpike &#8212; not with the population of all speeders on the turnpike.</p>
<p>Such meaningless studies are popular on the left, where it is assumed that people of different races, genders and ethnicities will always behave identically in all respects.</p>
<p>If fewer women pass the physical test to become firefighters, that can only be because of sexism. If fewer blacks pass the written test &#8212; that&#8217;s racism. If fewer whites play professional basketball &#8212; no, forget that one. Sports are important. (Unlike arson or vehicular homicide.)</p>
<p>Nonetheless, based on the assumption that blacks speed just as much as whites &#8212; because to believe otherwise would be racist! &#8212; Temple University&#8217;s John Lamberth announced that while only 13.5 percent of drivers along a particular stretch of the New Jersey Turnpike were black, 46 percent of those stopped for speeding were black.</p>
<p>Racial profiling, Q.E.D.</p>
<p>The New York Times ran a dozen articles trumpeting the nonsense study, proclaiming it &#8220;the most thorough documentation of the contention that the police regularly pulled over black drivers.&#8221; Lamberth himself praised his research for ruling out the possibility of coincidence &#8212; and if you can&#8217;t trust Lamberth on his own study, who can you trust?</p>
<p>Largely on the basis of that investigation, New Jersey Superior Court Judge Robert E. Francis threw out the contraband evidence seized from 19 African-American men in traffic stops on the turnpike. New Jersey&#8217;s ninny governor, Christie Todd Whitman, pronounced her state&#8217;s troopers guilty of racial profiling and agreed to a consent decree with the Department of Justice (DOJ) that basically prohibited the troopers from doing their jobs.</p>
<p>Statisticians, and other people with common sense, tried to explain to liberals that human beings are not identical. Any study purporting to show that too many blacks are stopped for speeding must first determine how many speeders are black.</p>
<p>Being denounced as virtual Klansmen, the state troopers demanded a real study.</p>
<p>Confident that any new study would merely serve to confirm the troopers&#8217; racism, the DOJ and the New Jersey attorney general commissioned a statistical investigation from the Public Services Research Institute in Maryland.</p>
<p>The institute&#8217;s study was a spectacular thing. Using expensive monitors with high-speed cameras and radar detectors, they clocked the speeds of nearly 40,000 drivers on the relevant section of the turnpike. Three researchers then examined the photos to determine the race of the driver &#8212; without knowing whether the driver was speeding, which was defined as going more than 80 mph in 65 mph zones.</p>
<p>The result: No racial profiling.</p>
<p>Blacks constituted 25 percent of all speeders and they were 23 percent of drivers stopped for speeding. Controlling for age and gender, blacks sped at about twice the rate of whites. The racial disparity was even greater for drivers exceeding 90 mph.</p>
<p>Inasmuch as the study was irrefutable, Mark Posner, a lefty Clinton holdover in the Bush Justice Department, tried to block it from being released, continuously demanding more information.</p>
<p>But no matter how statisticians fiddled with the data, the results were identical: Blacks were twice as likely to speed as whites &#8212; and at much higher speeds. The troopers were completely vindicated.</p>
<p>When the study finally leaked &#8212; over Posner&#8217;s objections &#8212; he informed the press it wasn&#8217;t &#8220;valid&#8221; without articulating any actual problems with it. The attorney general of New Jersey, David Samson, nonsensically said the results didn&#8217;t matter because New Jersey had already admitted its troopers were engaging in racial profiling.</p>
<p>Perhaps the Times is right and there is no comprehensive study of police shootings by race. But it&#8217;s also possible that there is one, it didn&#8217;t come out as planned, so it has never seen the light of day.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/In-Missouri-Police-Officer-Named-Who-Shot-Michael-Brown.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-239519" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/In-Missouri-Police-Officer-Named-Who-Shot-Michael-Brown.jpg" alt="In-Missouri-Police-Officer-Named-Who-Shot-Michael-Brown" width="309" height="268" /></a>Sunday in New York City, Al Sharpton led at least 2,500 marchers in a <a href="http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2014/08/23/thousands-to-call-for-action-over-death-of-eric-garner-at-staten-island-march-and-rally/">rally</a> condemning “<span style="color: #18181a;">a society where police are automatically excused” for wrongdoing. At issue was </span>the recent death of Eric Garner, a black New Yorker who resisted arrest and subsequently died from what a <a href="http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Eric-Garner-Chokehold-Police-Custody-Cause-of-Death-Staten-Island-Medical-Examiner-269396151.html">medical examiner</a> described as an interplay between a white police officer&#8217;s chokehold and Garner&#8217;s multiple chronic infirmities<span style="color: #343434;">. </span><span style="color: #18181a;">A featured speaker at Sunday&#8217;s demonstration was t</span><span style="color: #272727;">he mother of Amadou Diallo, a black man who was killed in a 1999 shooting by four NYPD officers. “Police cannot judge our sons and execute them for no reason,” she declared. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #272727;">Yesterday, Sharpton <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/michael-brown-supporters-line-funeral-article-1.1915903">spoke</a> at the funeral of Michael Brown, the b</span>lack teenager who was recently shot and killed by a white policeman in Missouri. Claiming that the police had callously treated Brown &#8220;like his life value didn&#8217;t matter,&#8221; Sharpton called on the congregation to help &#8220;change this country.&#8221; Indeed, Sharpton has <a href="http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/michael-brown-shooting/michael-brown-rally-we-have-had-enough-rev-al-sharpton-n182701">vowed</a> to turn Brown&#8217;s death into a <span style="color: #272727;">“defining moment on how this country deals with policing.” His contention is that too many African Americans are being unjustifiably killed in the streets by white police. If he&#8217;s correct, then we&#8217;ve got a monumental national scandal on our hands that surely deserves to be addressed. So </span>let&#8217;s examine the facts and see what they tell us.</p>
<p>The most comprehensive information we have on this issue comes from a landmark 51-page <a href="http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/pub/pdf/ph98.pdf"><span style="color: #680900;">report</span></a> published by the Bureau of Justice Statistics in 2001. This study examined incidents where police used deadly force to kill criminal suspects during the 23-year period from 1976 through 1998.[1]  The study did not distinguish between whites and Hispanics,[2] but instead categorized all members of those two demographics as “<a href="https://www.prisonlegalnews.org/news/publications/doj-report-policing-and-homicide-1976-98/">white</a>.” So, for the moment, let&#8217;s refer to this group as “W&amp;H” (Whites &amp; Hispanics) rather than “whites.”</p>
<p>During the course of the entire 23-year period examined in the study, 56% of all suspects killed by police were W&amp;H, and 42% were black.</p>
<p>Over time, W&amp;H constituted an ever-increasing percentage of those who were killed by police: In 1978, they accounted for 50% of all such killings. By 1988 that figure had climbed to 59%, and by 1998 it stood at 62%.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the trend for African Americans was moving in precisely the opposite direction: In 1978, black suspects were 49% of those killed by police. By 1988, that figure had fallen to 39%. And ten years after that, it stood at 35%.</p>
<p>Most cases where police killed suspects during 1976-98 were same-race incidents: When W&amp;H officers were the killers, the suspects were usually W&amp;H (63%). And when black officers were the killers, the suspects were usually black (81%).</p>
<p>In 1998 specifically, 3.2 out of every 10,000 black officers killed a black suspect sometime that year, whereas only 1.4 out of every 10,000 W&amp;H officers killed a black suspect.</p>
<p>Also in 1998, about 2.8 out of every 10,000 W&amp;H officers killed a W&amp;H suspect sometime that year—<i>double</i> the rate at which W&amp;H officers killed black suspects.</p>
<p>To fill in the data from more recent years, we must turn to a 2011 Bureau of Justice Statistics <a href="http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/ard0309st.pdf">study</a> which covers the period from 2003 to 2009. Unlike the earlier study, this one <i>does</i> distinguish between whites and Hispanics.[3] Of all suspects who are known to have been killed by police during the 7-year time frame, 41.7% were white, 31.7% were black, and 20.3% were Hispanic.</p>
<p>It is also worth noting that during the 2003-2009 period—when blacks were 31.7% of all suspects killed by an officer—blacks accounted for about 38.5% of all arrests for violent crimes, which are the types of crimes most likely to trigger a confrontation with police that could result in a fatality.[4]  These numbers do not in any way suggest a lack of restraint by police in their dealings with black suspects. On the contrary, they suggest the opposite.</p>
<p>The bottom line is this: Evidence of systemic racism in police shootings simply doesn&#8217;t exist. Anywhere.</p>
<p>But Al Sharpton and his ideological ilk have no use for facts like these. For Sharpton, the corpses of Michael Brown and Eric Garner are merely props to be exploited for the purpose of advancing the singular agenda he has had for more than 30 years, which is <i>to convince as many people as possible that America is, and always has been, an inherently racist wasteland that needs to be fundamentally transformed—economically, politically, and socially</i>. The facts of any specific case are irrelevant to Sharpton. For him, everything is about the larger agenda.</p>
<p>Nor is this anything new for Sharpton. Way back when this utterly pathetic individual was immersed in his equally pathetic Tawana Brawley “rape” hoax, one of his closest aides, Perry McKinnon—a former police officer, private investigator, and hospital security director—revealed the following: “Sharpton acknowledged to me early on that &#8216;the [Brawley] story do sound like bullsh**, but it don&#8217;t matter. We&#8217;re building a movement. This is the perfect issue. Because you&#8217;ve got whites on blacks. That&#8217;s an easy way to stir up all the deprived people … and all [you've] got to do is convince them that all white people are bad. Then you&#8217;ve got a movement.&#8217;”[5]</p>
<p>A quarter-century later, nothing—<i>absolutely nothing</i>—has changed.</p>
<p><b>NOTES:</b></p>
<p>[1] All calendar years from 1976 through 1998 are counted, thus 23 separate calendar years are included in the study. All told, approximately 8,578 suspects were killed by police during those 23 years. The annual totals ranged from a low of 296 to a high of 459. Data for a small handful of states is missing from this study, but the vast majority of police killings nationwide were counted.<br />
[2] “Hispanics” is a broad and nebulous term referring, generally, to people whose heritage can be traced to Spanish-speaking countries. The term was concocted for political purposes in 1970 by the Nixon administration.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2012/volpe/two-thirds-of-new-jobs-go-to-legal-illegal-immigrants/110803_now_hiring_sales_605_ap/" rel="attachment wp-att-163737"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-163737" title="110803_now_hiring_sales_605_ap" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/110803_now_hiring_sales_605_ap.gif" alt="" width="315" height="215" /></a>Even with economic stagnation, the Obama administration has continued approving an elevated level of Green Cards. This has caused the overwhelming majority of new jobs to go to immigrants (both legal and illegal), according to a new study.</p>
<p>A study by Steve Camarota and Karen Zeigler of the Center for Immigration Studies has concluded that two-thirds of the new people employed during the Obama administration were immigrants.</p>
<p>“A new analysis of government data shows that two-thirds of the net increase in employment since President Obama took office has gone to immigrant workers, primarily legal immigrants.”</p>
<p>Camarota, in an interview with Front Page Magazine, said that the study used the Household Survey, released monthly by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics in the Commerce Department. The Household Survey randomly calls households in the US on a monthly basis and asks who is and isn’t employed in any given household. By that measure, there were 2.88 million more people employed at the end of the third quarter of 2012 as there were at the beginning of the first quarter of 2009 (the time measured by the CIS study). Of those, 1.94 million new jobs went to immigrants and only 938,000 went to native born individuals.</p>
<p>Over the same time frame, the Obama administration has maintained elevated levels of Green Card approvals. From 2008-2011, about 4.3 million Green Cards were approved, cited the study. Camarota said that the combination of a stagnant economy at the same time there were elevated levels of legal immigrants flowing into the country meant that most of the jobs wound up going to immigrants.</p>
<p>“You end up with a situation where there’s some growth in jobs, but it goes almost exclusively to foreigners.”</p>
<p>The study cited three specific policies of the Obama administration that will continue to contribute to this dynamic. First, the Obama administration, as a matter of policy, doesn’t detain illegal workers when the administration audits businesses that hire illegal immigrants. The administrative DREAM Act that President Obama announced in June 2012 has produced 200,000 new applications for legal immigration so far. Finally, the administration fought against the Arizona&#8217;s SB1070 immigration law, which requires each employer to verify the legal status of each new employee.</p>
<p>Camarota pointed out that Obama, in part, inherited this problem. About 44% of all new jobs under the Bush administration were found by immigrants, the study found. The study argued that Obama continued to implement the same immigration policies from good economic times even though the economy had turned.</p>
<p>“This president, like those before him, has chosen not to reduce immigration despite the worst job market since the Great Depression. While natives have done better in the labor market recently, there remain a very large number of native-born Americans not working,” said the study.</p>
<p>While Camarota believes the conclusions of his study point to an urgent need, he said he’s found little appetite to address this issue in Congress, even among Republicans. Camarota said that Lamar Smith has been the only voice sounding the alarm on this issue.</p>
<p>“There are some in Congress like Lamar Smith that have been willing to talk about this, but not many more.”</p>
