The narrative most important to Democrats this election cycle has become “blacks are victims, police are instruments of racial bias, and it’s the Republican’s fault.” Though evidence and statistics stand in stark contrast to this storyline, it’s become central to beating Trump.

Police cannot do their jobs without public support. Too bad for inner cities. Businesses have burned, jobs have been lost, real estate values will plummet, and people are quietly fleeing if they can afford it. Who wants to stay in a lawless war zone?
It’s a horse race and Democrats are digging their spurs into a frothing, stumbling thoroughbred named “Racial Tension” fixated on Nov. 8, while inner cities across America simmer and burn.
