“Actually, that’s not what happened.”

Ask your acquaintances specifics about the Freddie Gray incident, or Trayvon, or Michael Brown, or Eric Garner… For example:

“Why do you say Eric Garner was strangled to death? He died of a heart attack in the ambulance. And why do you say those white officers took the wrong approach? Did you know the ranking officer there was a black woman, a sergeant, who gave those orders?”

“Why do you say Michael Brown was shot in the back? The autopsy shows no shots in the back” And… “There certainly is proof Brown tried to take the deputy’s gun — his DNA was found on it.”

It’s astonishing, sometimes, to discover by asking such questions, how little about these incidents MSM followers know. The MSM purposely ignores key facts that weaken their false narratives. So your acquaintances often just don’t know any better. By probing their grasp of the facts, they’ll often have to abandon their lie-based arguments.

BTW, in any given year, nationwide, less than 150 blacks are killed by cops (vs over twice as many whites). And certainly many of these shootings are warranted. There are 850,000 law enforcement officers in the USA. So that’s about one black person killed for every 6000 officers. TV magnifies these isolated events into seemingly important problems, but these killings are extremely rare, given our nation’s size.
