L-A Radio: Talk Host Advises "Comply And You Won't Die"

Larry Elder

KRLA 870 AM and Salem synidciated talk show host Larry Elder on Saturday put his finger on a major flaw in the arguments by Black Lives Matter that claim institutional racism is at the heart of the high-profile cases of police-involved shootings.

Elder, speaking to Tucker Carlson on Fox News, said the notion of institutional racism ignores a whole lot of reality, particularly in the case of Keith Scott, who was killed by a black Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer and whose death set off days of unrest in Charlotte, N.C..

“This is a black suspect who was killed by a black police officer whose boss is a black PD chief — and rioters are attacking white people. What’s wrong with this picture?” Elder said.

“People complain about institutional racism,” noted Elder, highlighting the many levels at which black officials have been either appointed or elected, including the presidency. “How can you complain about institutional racism when blacks are running the institution?”

Elder said that although Black Lives Matter is protesting police conduct, the end result has hurt black citizens.

“This whole Black Lives Matter movement, with George Soros’ fingerprints all over it, has resulted … in 25 of the largest cities … an increase in homicides and the victims of these homicides are the very black people that Black Lives Matter claim that they care about. It’s insane,” Elder said.

Elder also said that the conduct of those who were shot can explain why those incidents ended that way.

“Whatever happened to ‘Comply and you won’t die?'” he said.
