Dylan Noble, white male, unarmed, shot by US police.  The BBC doesn’t seem to have reported it at all…it’s on every other news outlet as the police video is released…just not on the BBC.  The shooting is as controversial as any of the shootings of black men that the BBC fills the airwaves with.  The difference of course is that the victim is white and therefore doesn’t provide any evidence that the BBC looks for to ‘prove’ its accusation that white police officers are racist….and in fact goes a long way to proving that the problem is not racism but police tactics and response training.

Here’s the video…it is graphic and shows the shooting but it illustrates perfectly the way US police can respond to a threat situation…..

 

 

Curiously on Tuesday 5Live was giving much airtime to the girlfriend of a black man shot by police, Philando Castile, who videoed the immediate aftermath of his shooting…but not the actual shooting.

What is interesting is that the BBC did not say anything about ‘white police officers’ this time and only referred to this as a case where the problem is the way the police responded.  Why might the BBC be so coy when normally they are desperate, absolutely desperate, to portray every shooting as a racist murder?  Anyone listening to that report wouldn’t know because what the BBC fails to mention is that the police officer who shot Philando Castile was Chinese American and not white. Here we have one case where race isn’t mentioned and another where a white man being gunned down by police isn’t even reported as far as I can see.  The BBC being very economic with the truth when the truth dosn’t match its own prejudices.

We know that #Blacklivesmatter’ is a very problematic organisation, verging on terrorist as it encourages violence and cop killing, and you have to ask why the BBC has utterly failed to explore any of the issues raised around #BLM, the BBC preferring to take everything their spokesmen and women say at complete face value as credible and true.

Today I thought that might have changed…I should have known better.  BBC Trending, that rather extremist race hustling page on the BBC news site, brought us this…

The black cop who has a problem with ‘Black Lives Matter’

A promising bit of actual investigation you might think…you’d be wrong….it’s just an immediate BBC counter to something they don’t like…someone, a black cop, raising doubts about the truth of the #BLM’s claims.  The BBC try to pick it apart and rubbish everything he said.

The BBC tell us that the evidence shows that Blacks are more likely to be shot than whites given all the circumstances…but that’s not true…we’ve already looked at some of the stats and the New York Times just published a study that demonstrates that it isn’t true and at least provides evidence that should make the BBC take a far more measured and nuanced stance when reporting the apparent mass genocide of blacks by white cops that is the narrative the BBC prefers……

The result contradicts the image of police shootings that many Americans hold after the killings (some captured on video) of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo.; Tamir Rice in Cleveland; Walter Scott in South Carolina; Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, La.; and Philando Castile in Minnesota.

In shootings in 10 cities involving officers, officers were more likely to fire their weapons without having first been attacked when the suspects were white. Black and white civilians involved in police shootings were equally likely to have been carrying a weapon. Both results undercut the idea of racial bias in police use of lethal force.

    Yeah, I wonder about why the bBC isn’t banging its tin drum over this story.

      Adding to this , from something I posted on the mid-week board earlier at 1602 hrs regards the death of a 18 year old blackman called Mohammed in Liverpool. I said the bBC is trying to promote the story as belonging to the ‘Black lives matter’ agenda. Well guess what , the bBC have expanded their article to include these nice victimhood statements:
      Mzee Mohammed police custody death investigated
      A teenager has died in the custody of police after being detained by security staff at a shopping centre.
      Mzee Mohammed, 18, was seen with a knife “behaving erratically” at Liverpool One before officers were called to the scene. His mother Karla told the Liverpool Echo her son was a “gentle giant” and she believed police and security staff had “questions to answer”. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating.

      and then they add comments by this NGO:
      Inquest – a charity which provides advice to people bereaved by a death in custody – said there needed to be “the most thorough and robust scrutiny of the actions of the security guards and the police” who were in contact with Mr Mohammed before his death. His family must be supported to find out how and why he died, a statement added.
      And this Race hustler:
      Race relations activist Lee Jasper, said: “I don’t think anybody has got any confidence in the IPCC to investigate these critical incidents.
      Which they then follow up with this:
      _90388029_chart_custodychart_birmingham.jpg

      All of which naturally questions why people die in Police hands. Yet the simple fact remains as reported by the Liverpool Echo and not the bBC:
      Mzee, who the Liverpool ECHO understands was not held at a police station at any stage last night, had died.
      .

      Funny enough the LE is now reporting this:
      Two dads told how their daughters were threatened at knifepoint in Liverpool ONE by a teenager who later died. Mzee Mohammed, 18, died after being detained by officers in the shopping centre amid reports he was acting erratically.The dads, both of 13-year-old girls, said their daughters had been with two other friends when Mr Mohammed approached them with a knife. One dad said: “He came running up to them and had a 12-inch blade which he was waving in their faces and he was telling them to give him their phones. “He fell over and dropped the knife and stumbled towards a wall.” He added: “The girls were in shock.” The other dad said: “I think it was then that security started chasing him through Liverpool ONE.” A shopper told the ECHO the 18-year-old ran into her and her mum as they were out shopping. She said: “We saw him running really fast and he had no shoes on. “He ran right at us and didn’t even try to move out of the way so we went flying.”

        Lee Jasper? There’s a name I’d gladly forgotten. What rock did he crawl out from under?

    To understand the BBC stance on this matter you have to put yourself into the Beeb mindset. Whites, according to loonie lefties, are part of the oppressive majority and therefore very rarely, if ever, receive victim status.
    The BBC reported the “Black lives Matter” demo in Brixton, but never asked what the hell they were demonstrating about. Nor did they ask if it was tasteful demonstrating in this way, a day or so after the mass murder of white coppers by a lunatic racist black with connections to Black Lives Matter! Instead, three days later, Radio 2 ran an extremely sympathetic interview with friends of that charming, gun toting gangster, Mark Duggan.
    And just look at how the darlings at the Beeb reported (not) Rotherham…

    I think my hero, George Orwell, summed it up pretty succinctly with this memorable line from Animal Farm;
    “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.”

    #ThingsBbcForgets2Report : Robber with AK-47 shot by Waffle House Customer News 12/7/2016

    Customers told police that the man had come into the restaurant, armed with an AK-47, and robbed numerous people as well as the business. One customer, who was legally carrying a concealed handgun, followed the robber into the parking lot because he was afraid for the safety of his wife, who was on her way to the Waffle House. The customer called out to the robber, who turned and pointed the rifle at him, police said. The customer then shot the robber several times.

    I could even play BbcVirtueSignalBingo whilst wating last Weeks CountryFile.
    For whatever reason there are few BME in the countryside so CountryFile looks very white, like a Folk Festival would; so they seem to accidentally squeeze in BME.
    [ ] VirtueSignal : Multicultural : We’ve found a UK Chinese guy with a veg farm
    [ ] VirtueSignal : Organic : His food is organic
    [ ] VirtueSignal : Multicultural : We’ve found a Channel swimmer shes’s from Kazakstan

    [ ] VirtueSignal : Pro Foreign worker : Look the strawberry pickers are East Europeans, and we can show that they are better workers by pitting them against our softy presenters.

    There’s probably a VirtueSignal report sheet for every 30 minutes of broadcasting, with producers only progressing if they score 5 points.
