Study: No Racial Bias In Police Shootings (NYT)

A new study confirms that black men and women are treated differently in the hands of law enforcement. They are more likely to be touched, handcuffed, pushed to the ground or pepper-sprayed by a police officer, even after accounting for how, where and when they encounter the police.
But when it comes to the most lethal form of force — police shootings — the study finds no racial bias.

“It is the most surprising result of my career,” said Roland G. Fryer Jr., the author of the study and a professor of economics at Harvard. The study examined more than a thousand shootings in 10 major police departments, in Texas, Florida and California.

Study is biased.

This is not right because it does not confirm the image I have been presented in the media.
Your data is racist.

This guy clearly doesn't understand the modern scientific method. You're supposed to arrive at your conclusion first, then work backwards from there.

What do you expect from that Neo-Con school Harvard.

I don't think you read the results of the study. Or maybe I'm just missing the sarcasm font on my phone.

You're soaked from his post that was dripping with sarcasm.

Without reading the study, all I can say is wow. I decided to do a bit of research of my own saying black people in Ameria are facing a genocide.
Thats a bold statement to say when Genocide makes the Holocaust come to mind.
But yea, for example say if you account for all of the recent killigs by police that has happened. Ie Mike Brown, Freddie gray, Alton Sterling, Eric Garner, etc. Hypothetically if all of them were truly killed unjustly, the numbers still dont support that we are getting unfairly targeted and killed at an astronomical rate as compared to whites or other race.
TL;DR Stats are racist cuz white man invented stats.

53% of over 5 million abortions were black babies.

Don't turn this into a pro-choice/pro-life debate.

I always bring that up but no one listens. Over half of their babies are aborted. At that rate, they will always remain a small percentage of the population.

Facts and statistics never had any meaning in these events. It's all emotion and agenda.

I didn't need to look up stats. Just use fricking common sense for once. The media race baits. No one gives a frick if a white person dies. There are more white people.

This is one of the more frustrating things about BLM IMO. They've turned real police brutality issues into trumped up race issues, so once someone proves that race is irrelevant, the general public just ignores the issue altogether.
Law enforcement officers killed 90 unarmed civilians in 2015. Black, white, hispanic, asian, it doesn't matter, but that is a problem that needs to be addressed.

After all the shootings the TV networks show me, this study is a lie!
