Additionally, 16 percent were either using weapons or physical force and 31 percent were pointing a gun.<\/p>\n<p>Of all the officer-involved shooting deaths, less than 10 percent were against unarmed people. The data completely contradicts the narrative among left-wing activists that officers are typically using lethal force against otherwise peaceful civilians.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The media are cherry-picking officer-involved shootings to establish a narrative that runs counter to the facts | Opinion by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RichLowry?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RichLowry<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Cv8zqL42Uo\">https:\/\/t.co\/Cv8zqL42Uo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 National Review (@NRO) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NRO\/status\/1387124396536602628?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 27, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The data shows that when it comes down to it, officers largely appear to respond to life-threatening situations based on circumstances regardless of the culprit\u2019s race.<\/p>\n<p>Although African Americans and Hispanics are disproportionately represented in those statistics, the facts surrounding those shootings are strikingly similar to when white people are involved. Nonetheless, the mainstream media continues to push the narrative that police across the country are somehow targeting African Americans.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/u-s-census-bureau-releases-first-batch-of-data\/\"> U.S. Census Bureau releases first batch of data<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE \u2013 In this Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2020 file photo, police hold their clubs as they form a line in Beverly Hills, Calif.
