That Time an Activist Claimed 13 Million Blacks Are Killed by Police Each Year, Then Claimed ER Trip After the Internet Mocked Him

On occasion, if you watch close enough, there are minor incidents happening somewhere in a little corner of the internet you don’t know about that say more about our society than we’d like them to.

To that end, I’d like to introduce you — or reintroduce, if you ever ran across the guy — to a far-left activist named Jeremy Muchemi. Muchemi has been identified with a few organizations, including Gen-Z for Change and Voters of Tomorrow.

He also seems to be a serial fabulist who comes up with ridiculous statistics — like the claim that 13 million blacks are killed by police each year.

Yes, he was saying that 13.2 million unarmed black people were being murdered by police every year. And when called on the fact that this ridiculous figure would be problematic, he said that there was “context” for the claim.

“The real number — by Washington Post — unarmed black people shot by police, men and women, usually like 10 people, dude,” one of the hosts of the Space said.

Now, suffice it to say, he endured a good few days of mockery. So, he did what any of us would do if we were the target of mockery: He checked himself into the emergency room, or so he claimed.

“keeping it calm cool collected. just got admitted. might be here two days. so glad i’m done with school, it would’ve been hell trying to catch up,” he said in one post after the Space went wrong, along with an IV in his arm.

“goodnight y’all. still gonna be active, just don’t know what more to say,” he said in another post showing him with a tube through his nose.

Muchemi went on to say that “i am not in a psych ward. i’m in the icu for being piled on by certain individuals i won’t mention.”

“celebrating my hospitalization truly shows that christian side of you you claim to have. God is SO proud of you all.”

Nobody was celebrating it so much as saying that it reinforced why the left doesn’t like to debate:

The claim was so farcical as to beggar belief.

This really would be a genocide if it were unfolding the way Muchemi claimed it was. Instead, he exaggerated it by 388,235 times. Kind of a big swing and a miss there.

The fact is that deaths at the hands of police are always overstated to garner sympathy. Here, this guy claims it’s a wholesale genocide, one which would wipe out African-Americans in just a few years if it were true.

But he desperately wanted to believe that police kill one-third of America’s black population literally every single year. It would be funny, were it not so serious.
