Black Lives Matter Protests Led To 11.5% Increase In Murders, Thousands Of Additional Deaths, Study Shows

According to a study published in the Journal of Urban Economics, Black Lives Matter protests from 2014-21 led to over 3,000 additional murders compared to instances where police used lethal force.
The study also found that property crime arrests decreased by approximately 12% over the five years following local BLM protests, while reported murders increased by roughly 11.5%, resulting in over 3,000 additional homicides. This suggests a potential link between the protests and a rise in violent crime.
FBI data analyzed by the Heritage Foundation revealed that the murder rate rose by 30% in 2020, the same year as the BLM protests, compared to the previous year. This data supports the idea that there was an increase in violence during the summer of 2020 as BLM protests took place.
