What is the controversy surrounding #takeaknee

[John V]

I have already addressed the superficial touting of statistics

Any statistics are better than what the typical NFL player is giving us, which is nothing.

by challenging Alpha Male to give us an analysis which explains those stats.

First, that's a shift of the burden of proof. The protesters should be the ones making a clear argument.

Second, I've noted repeatedly that, once you reach a confrontation with the police, such explanations are meaningless. Police must act on perceived immediate danger.

Third, I have given some explanation,such as the Sowell article which notes that black poverty was worse in the 40s and 50s, but crime rates were lower. Beginning in the 60s, single parent families started increasing, and so did crime.
