the movement has also been criticized. in the new york times, deroy murdock asked about the true number of black people killed by police, and about the way the blm movement reported these killings. he wrote: "but the notion that america’s cops simply are gunning down innocent black people is one of today's biggest and deadliest lies". some of the black leaders of the american civil rights movement criticized the tactics of the blm movement. glenn loury, a professor for economics, warned about focusing on police violence against black people; the other side would only use this to compile statistics; in these statistics black people will be overrepresented. according to loury, it would be better to reform social structures, so that people could benefit, irrespective of skin color. one of the examples he gave was early-age education.
