To the editor,

Apparently a small segment of the American left thinks the police don’t have a right to defend themselves or the communities they serve from violence.

Facts are pesky things and when you separate them from race baiting propaganda, unjustified use of force by law-enforcement against blacks as with all other groups is extremely rare.

But I guess we should never let the facts get in the way of a good rampage, especially when you’re in pursuit of television ratings, a false narrative or a free pair of Nike sneakers.
