A new groundbreaking study soundly dispels some myths and tropes about racial disparities in police shootings. If you haven’t heard about it, you probably don’t peruse academic research findings in journals entitled Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Or maybe because the study fails to support the false narrative that has been used for partisan political advantage by demagogues like Al Sharpton and a number of Democratic presidential candidates, it hasn’t been shared as widely as it should be.

Opportunistic racial-arsonists like Sharpton aside, it has become de rigueur where two or more #Resistance Democrats gather to assail President Trump and his party by hyping the race chasm. It’s codswallop. Of course, our evolution as a nascent democracy that lives up to its founding ideals hasn’t occurred quickly enough for some predictable detractors. These critics remain supremely confident that our country is rife with white, racist cops that hunt young, unarmed African American males for sport. After all, that’s all we see on the news.
