The NFL players kneeling during the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” in football stadiums across the country are engaging in protests based on false claims and misleading media reports that give the impression that police are killing African-Americans at a rate greater than they are killing whites. Data also show that blacks don’t hesitate to reach out to police and report crime. Blacks are 16 percent more likely than Hispanics and 12 percent more likely than Asians to report a crime. It's not just that blacks report more crime because they experience more of it. It is a dangerous fiction that prejudiced white officers are going out and disproportionately killing black men.
