Default Things that won't save Black lives.

Lets start with the big one, the reason all these protests and riots started.

Police brutality: Cops arrest about 10-12 million people per year, Last year Police killed 19 unarmed white people and 9 unarmed black people. If you say Police arrest more blacks per capita, I'll agree and remind you that blacks commit more crimes per capita. Lower your crime rate and you will lower your interaction with Police.

So if you completely eliminate Police killings of unarmed blacks, you will have reduced black deaths per year by the same amount as an average Sunday in Chicago.

Protests/Riots: Not a single black life will be saved, in fact several have been killed

Pulling down statues of Confederate Generals: Go ahead, it will have zero effect on saving black lives.

Renaming Forts: Nada, zip, zero

Defunding Police: This one is a big zero too. I've read articles saying there's too much Police in Black neighborhoods, and articles saying they need more Police. Actually, Police in many cities have lowered death rates of black shooting victims because they were instructed to take victims direct to hospitals instead of waiting for ambulances.

Autonomous Zones: If you allow armed citizens to patrol their own neighborhoods the gangs will infiltrate/bribe their way to control. Result, more killings.

All of the above is just theater, it's not going to actually solve the problem and save black lives. The biggest impact on saving black lives would be reducing the thousands of homicides committed every year by blacks on blacks.

But as Family Guy shows in video below, nobody wants to talk about that.

How come the good Reverends Al Sharpton & Jessie Jackson never seems to mention this? And there never seems to be riots and looting over black on black daily murders.

Walter E. Williams: The true plight of black Americans
By Walter E. Williams Jun 10, 2020

White liberals and black politicians focus most of their attention on what the police do, but how relevant is that to the overall tragedy? According to Statista, this year, 172 whites and 88 blacks have died at the hands of police. To put police shootings in a bit of perspective, in Chicago alone in 2020 there have been 1,260 shootings and 256 homicides with blacks being the primary victims. That comes to one shooting victim every three hours and one homicide victim every 15 hours. Three people in Chicago have been killed by police. If one is truly concerned about black deaths, shootings by police should figure way down on one's list – which is not to excuse bad behavior by some police officers.

Taking over a part of the city and not allowing police in like in Seattle will do nothing to save black lives!

Well said.

I'll add, it is amazing how a show like The Family Guy can hit the nail on the head and it goes right over the intended target audience's head.

Seth McFarlane, creator and also voice actor at Family Guy is a genius. I think he's fairly liberal but he skewers just about everybody.

I used to think that way as well. Need to dig deeper into the underlying issues such as poverty, systemic and institutionalized racism. Just because there are many black on black homicides does not mean police killings should be ignored. Need to get out from our cocoon.

Large cities and urban areas like Chicago have been defunding police for years along with most other public services because of costs and decreased tax revenue. How's that working out for you. I can't imagine what the next few years are going to look like if cities purposely defund and dismantle police. I'm sure residents will be scattering like rats to move to a much more low key area so that will decrease even more tax base and will decrease even more public services so that will let the criminals run rampant even more than they are today. It's going to be an everlasting never ending downward spiral. This is the first time I can remember ever being glad I'm old and won't have to see much more destruction of America but I seriously worry about my Grandson and the life he will have to grow up in.
