No racial bias in police shootings - OptimisticOwl - 02-16-2024 08:51 PM

“When the results found no racial bias, Fryer hired eight new assistants and redid the study. The data came back the same.”
So a study run twice by a renowned economist came back (twice) with (politically) wrong results?

I think the interesting thing here is NOT the findings of the study, but the reactions of people to the findings. I wonder how many of our readers had similar reactions. We had 118 views, so probably at least 100 people.

I would like to see a study of outcomes when citizens cooperate versus when citizens resist. My guess is that would reveal a significant difference. White children are taught to respect police and cooperate. I have a sense that many Black children receive a different message.

You will probably never see anybody risk their career on a study that would end their career if the politically incorrect results that you expect were achieved. same reason no Germans in 1936 ran any studies to see if Jews were an equal race to Aryans. Getting the “wrong” answer could be a disaster. The author of the quoted study was somewhat insulated by his race and academic achievements, and yet even he was attacked and suspended.
The “right” answer is that 1952 never left - black people are the targets coast to coast of racist police who think their job entitles them to commit murder.

They will follow the science...IF it leads them to where they want to go.
