I remember this story being brought up and all the conservatives on here attacking blacks. This girl went to the cops with a busted eye saying it was 3 blacks that knocked her out. It ended up being her white boyfriend who knocked her out.

The whole idea of a knockout game is a hoax. No police departments around the nation have confirmed that it exists, not one perpetrator has said it exists.
There is a sick history in this nation, every few years there is some fake narrative about rampaging black men out to hurt white people.
The knockout game is another contribution to that long sad tradition.

The whole idea of a knock out game is NOT a hoax. What may be a hoax is that only black youth are doing it. The game exists and has for a few years.
The "Knockout Game" -- a supposed trend in which kids dare one another to sucker punch an unsuspecting victim -- is purely a media fabrication.
That's what James Addlespurger tells HuffPost Live. The Pittsburgh teacher was seen on video in October 2012 getting hit in the back of the head so hard that he instantly blacked out and fell face-first into the pavement.
Addlespurger says the security footage has been used to identify the supposed "trend" -- and it's played on TV news shows countless times -- but he doesn't call the attack a "Knockout Game." He simply calls it "assault."
"I feel like I'm exploited," Addlespurger told HuffPost Live. "People need a label. If they're selling toothpaste or CDs, or news stories, they need a label ... To me it's an assault, plain and simple."
The supposed trend, he says, evolved from his and a few other videos on the Internet showing men recording themselves knocking people out. But just because you can find it on YouTube doesn't mean it's a violent trend.
"Butt slapping," for instance, is not a violent sex crime trend, but news stations have already begun to imply that it is, using only one person as a source.

It is not a hoax. Whether you choose to call the motive a game, a stunt, a trend, a fad - it is all an assault (for sure). Semantics don't change the fact that there are plenty of YouTube videos on it and the major news networks even showed some. Just because the cops don't want to make a call on it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Officials don't want to make calls on things that clearly exist. They are neither reliable nor trustworthy.
