Vox claims Black Lives Matter protests lead to fewer police killings, downplays huge murder increase
Fox News
Left-wing explainer site Vox has repeatedly tweeted out a study finding that Black Lives Matter protests led to approximately 300 fewer homicides by police in areas where they took place between 2014 and 2019 -- but the outlet buried data showing as many as 6,000 more murders in those same areas.
Vox had tweeted out the finding about the reduced police killings at least four times as of Tuesday afternoon, while not mentioning the alarming finding on increased murders. "We don’t know why BLM protests correlated with an increase in the murder rate, and there’s not a lot of research in this space to help guide us," Vox reporter Jerusalem Demsas wrote. "Additionally, Campbell’s research question was focused on the effect of BLM protests on police homicides, so these other observed changes regarding other homicides were not subjected to the same robustness tests."More Related News
