Moreover, it is not white supremacists calling for killing cops. "Off the pigs" goes back to the Black Panther days of the 1960s. In 2015, protesters in St. Paul, Minnesota were holding a Black Lives Matter banner and chanting, "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon."
American Thinker "Put "race of people shooting police" into Google and your will get page after page of the opposite results: the race or ethnicity of people shot by police.
"This is obviously no accident. The media narrative is that police shoot people, mostly minorities, without justification.
"The question of who shoots the police is one that the larger society is generally afraid to ask. To ask that question might shed a different light on whom the police shoot because it would put the question into a larger context about criminality.
"For the defund the police crowd and the progressive minions of distributive and restorative justice, it would undermine an empowering narrative that has enabled them to shackle the police while letting criminals run free without bail and being rewarded with pleas to lower offenses.
"For as long as the police and the "system" can be viewed as victimizing minorities, these minorities can be viewed as victims and not criminals.
"The data on who kills police are tracked by the FBI in its Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted program (LEOK). Year-to-year aggregations appear difficult to obtain, and the data I found are from 1980 to 2013, as compiled from LEOK by the Washington Post.
"During this period, there were 2,269 officers killed in what is described as felonious incidents, which are deaths in the line of duty occurring from criminal acts. There were 2,896 offenders. Of the people who killed police, 52% were white, and 41% were black." . . .
