[Image is an editorial cartoon that depicts a Black man wearing a black face mask and a hoodie while attempting to steal a white woman's purse] On some level, this cartoon from The Missourian appears to be an effort to criticize of the call to defund the police. However, the cartoon missed its mark, and instead serves to stoke white fears by resurrecting the classic racist stereotype of a Black brute victimizing a white woman, June 10, 2020.

Number of News Stories on Violence against Police Have Been on the Rise While Violence Against Police Has Declined - "According to the National Law Enforcement Memorial Fund’s data, in the year following M. Brown’s death, 43 police officers were shot & killed, which is significantly less than the average of 54 police officer shooting per yr over the last 10 yrs. Looking back even further, policing is much safer now than any time in the last 45 yrs" - Source: Aaron Major / Huffington Post

Harry Anslinger, Director of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics from 1930-1962. "...the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races. Marijuana leads to pacificm and communist brainwashing. There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage."

Why Are You Angry about the Zimmerman Verdict?! - "...we should worry about a country that allows one person to pursue and kill another person based on something so flimsy as subjective suspicion. In a country like the United States, with our history and white supremacist institutions, too many black people (children included) look suspicious to too many white people too often." ~ The Sociological Cinema

"Stop the Rapes. Stop the Crime. Stop the Murder. Stop the Blacks" The statistics on this racist flyer are inaccurate and misleading. The flyer is from Vanguard America and was posted in multiple places on The University of Utah campus. James Fields, who is accused of driving into a crowd of people, marched wearing Vanguard America apparel on August 12. The group denies Fields's membership and says shirts were handed out to all those in attendance.

On August 23, 2020, police shot a 29-year-old Black man named Jacob Blake. Blake was shot in the back as he opened the driver's door to his SUV. Three of his sons witnessed the incident from the backseat. In the wake of the shooting, social unrest erupted in Kenosha, Wisconsin, drawing both protesters and counter protesters. During the unrest a 17-year-old man named Kyle Rittenhouse used an AR-15-style rifle to shoot and kill two protesters. Artist: Denny_Ow

Researchers looked at responses to 1.2 million 911 emergency calls in a US city and plotted the use of force involving a gun across neighbourhoods, according to their racial composition. White officers were more likely to use a gun than were Black officers and more likely to do so in predominantly Black neighbourhoods. Source: Nature

Scenario 1: The police officer stops 20 people pulling aside equal numbers of Black and white people. Of the 20 people stopped, the officer uses force against 8 of them. The police officer used force against stopped white people and stopped Black people at the same rate: 40%. But that's not the only scenario that can lead to that 40% number. Scenario 2: This time, of the 100 people the officer sees, he stops 50. But this time he is biased in whom he pulls aside...

The murder of George Floyd was the result of inhumane police brutality that is perpetuated by a culture of white supremacy. What happened to George Floyd was not the result of a bad apple; it was the predictable consequence of a racist and prejudiced system and culture that has treated Black bodies as the enemy from the beginning. What happened to George Floyd in Minneapolis is the fruit borne of toxic seeds planted on the shores of our country in Jamestown... Ben & Jerry's

"You're 28 times more likely to be stopped and searched in London if you don't have white skin, because we're still really racist." Artist: Strike Magazine *The figure is likely based on findings from the Equality and Human Rights Commission report. While Black and Brown people in London are much more likely to be stopped and searched than white peopoe, the figure probably refers specifically to the West Midlands Police.
