In 2014, the number of black American murder victims was 6,095. Then, after the August 2014 killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, anti-police protests and riots began, federal officials and mass media sympathetic to rioters brought heightened scrutiny to police practices, BLM began its career, “broken windows” policing was curtailed, and police morale plummeted. The number of murders thereupon began to surge, never to return to 2014 levels.
The “excess” murder victims from 2015 through 2020 who were black — that is, the additional black victims each year beyond the 2014 baseline — add up to 11,005. Compare that to the number of lynchings during the heyday of Jim Crow. According to the Tuskegee Institute, the number of blacks lynched from 1882 through 1968 was 3,446.
Here are the numbers of black murder victims from 2014 through 2020:
| Year | No. of Blacks Murdered | “Excess” Victims |
| 2014 | 6,095 | — |
| 2015 | 7,039 | 944 |
| 2016 | 7,881 | 1,786 |
| 2017 | 7,851 | 1,756 |
| 2018 | 7,407 | 1,312 |
| 2019 | 7,484 | 1,389 |
| 2020 | 9,913 | 3,818 |
The numbers come from the FBI, though the FBI report for 2020 was visible online for only a short time in 2021. Crime analyst Jeff Asher reported the 2020 figures before the FBI took the report down.
One might object that 2014 is an unfairly low baseline against which to compare the ensuing years. 2014 seems a natural starting-point for the analysis, as that was the year of Ferguson and the founding of BLM. But the homicide figures in 2014 represented an historic low, a fact that might make the “excess” death figures for the ensuing six years look artificially high by comparison. With the rise of “stop and frisk” policing, the number of homicides had been trending downward each year, with minor exceptions, from 1992 through 2014.
Not shocking. All blm does is teach and encourage blacks to be violent. blm teaches the way to manage anger is to be violent. blm teaches the way to resolve a conflict is to get violent. So no sympathy. Blacks are getting just what they asked for and what they deserve. When they can start acting like civilized human beings and not support groups that encourage primal ways only then will things change,
