Excellent videos X. I think there are more conservative blacks in America than what the progressives want to admit. And thinking about it, one does not have to be conservative to support and defend the Constitution and with more Trump successes we may be seeing that happen. At least I hope so, for our Country's sake.

Perhaps the best refutation of Nicole's simplistic view are these two short videos made by the NRA, who wish to empower every good citizen with their American right to bear arms for the defense of themselves, their family and their country.

Good review X. Another glaring example of her misguided video is the fact that she is trying to blame the NRA for all her perceived problems with so called violence against blacks when in fact the NRA is promoting self defense and preserving that right as stated in the Constitution. Her call for banning videos by the NRA do little to persuade those who have listened to those videos and who can think for themselves. She is a typical progressive who thinks banning others opinions because she disagrees with it is her Constitutional right. Her way of thinking is all to common for those who have been indoctrinated by liberal educators and which has been promoted by the anti American news media.

Police Violence against Black Men Is Rare

'Nicole' has the skill and spirit to make a good presentation on police violence, but she chose material that effectively compromised her premise.  It was flowing along doing the usual concerns about the new president, his perceived racism, and his 'law & order' stances.  But then she went to the various examples, she used five and showcased the survivors of 3 of those at the end of the video.  Here's a brief recap of those shootings:

Philandro Castille, shot by police in middle of 2016 in his car

Kisha Michaels, shot by police in middle of 2016

Wakiesha Wilson, death at LAPD jail in early 2016,

Keith Bursey, killed by police in early 2016

Charleena Lyles, shot in the middle of 2017

All but one of these people were shot when President Obama was in office and when it looked as if Hillary Clinton would succeed him.  Not only that, our first black president had been in office for nearly eight years by that point.  Where is her outrage that the police state was amped up under America's first black president killing black (and other) people at record levels?

BTW, Charleena Lyles, the only example used since Trump assumed office was and had been mentally unstable for a while and was shot in close proximity of her apartment when she advanced towards two officers while wielding a knife.  For what it's worth, the prosecutor has not filed charges, nor did a review of the incident reveal anything out of normal procedure was done by the officers.

Lastly, according to Killed by Police, the average number of people killed by cops in the last two years of the Obama Administration was higher than the number of people killed last year by the police, when Trump took over.  It doesn't look like the police are up to her levels of desired performance yet.
