The author of this study is black. anigbrowl Jul 2016 #36

He also admits that there are serious flaws with the data, and the results should not be Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2016 #114

I wonder why I just can't seem to believe this? merrily Jul 2016 #3

This guy probably has some alterior motive, Im guessing. Separation Jul 2016 #11

Please tell me that you are not trying to say that Mr. Fryer can't possibly have an ulterior motive merrily Jul 2016 #17

Then what's his motive? puffy socks Jul 2016 #101

I never said he had one. merrily Jul 2016 #105

Then why try to imply he puffy socks Jul 2016 #106

I didn't try to imply it. merrily Jul 2016 #109

Yes you did puffy socks Jul 2016 #110

Bull. I negated the implication of the OP in Reply 11 that a photo proves something. merrily Jul 2016 #111

Its right here for everyone to see puffy socks Jul 2016 #112

It isn't an issue of motive gollygee Jul 2016 #108

What's your point? Clarence Thomas, Stacey Dash, etc., are also black. n/t JustinL Jul 2016 #30

I wonder why you can't seem to believe it too anigbrowl Jul 2016 #37

Because Republican lie constantly... scscholar Jul 2016 #44

+1, Because there are 2 blaring defects in the study see post #59 uponit7771 Jul 2016 #62

Well the second paragraph directly contradicts your headline. giftedgirl77 Jul 2016 #4

Its not my headline Separation Jul 2016 #5

& it shows that POC are more likely to have force used against them. giftedgirl77 Jul 2016 #12

"Blacks are three times more likely to report use of force by police in the raw data" The Wielding Truth Jul 2016 #57

No it doesn't anigbrowl Jul 2016 #38

.... giftedgirl77 Jul 2016 #43

that does not contradict the headline at all. anigbrowl Jul 2016 #49

As I said: "although it is needlessly intimidating and indicative of bias" anigbrowl Jul 2016 #56

Why is it so important to so many puffy socks Jul 2016 #102

The same reason why it is so important to many to prove that racism and racial bias DOES NOT exist Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2016 #115

OK, that's a 3rd blaring defect (post 59)... so weapons are drawn but there's less shootings? Some uponit7771 Jul 2016 #63

This is just one of those bullshit studies white folks like giftedgirl77 Jul 2016 #66

To any person living in the real world not wearing blinders giftedgirl77 Jul 2016 #98

Exactly. And it's NOT just on the political right. I'm seeing people who call themselves liberals Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2016 #117

I've said it before, those like that on the left are even more giftedgirl77 Jul 2016 #148

"Shootings" confusing to you??? Nt Logical Jul 2016 #89

No, it doesn't Recursion Jul 2016 #104

I would have to examine the study before I endorsed the findings, Vattel Jul 2016 #6

You touched on it, imo, with your word "timely" being the reason for this report brush Jul 2016 #125

To be fair... Glassunion Jul 2016 #137

Now that you mention it. Exactly. brush Jul 2016 #138

ABSOLUTELY!!! Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2016 #141

It's not clear yet what happened in Minnesota. Vattel Jul 2016 #151

Maybe it's doesn't seem clear to you but the millions of people who saw the live streamed . . . brush Jul 2016 #152

I am happy to wait until all the evidence is in. Vattel Jul 2016 #153

Try reading between the lines of the right wing media you seem to be ingesting . . . brush Jul 2016 #154

I think you should read the DOJ report on the Michael Brown case. Vattel Jul 2016 #155

What about the entry points of the wounds, and the fact that . . . brush Jul 2016 #156

The DOJ report assessed each witness's credibility very carefully. Vattel Jul 2016 #159

Clever little tricky word play there but I caught it. brush Jul 2016 #161

Sorry, I meant "unarmed." Vattel Jul 2016 #163

And it's even more laughable, in light of all the videos of cops murdering unamred . . . brush Jul 2016 #164

have you read the DOJ report? If yes, did you understand it? Vattel Jul 2016 #165

The only thing that saved that murdering cop is that fact that there was no video . . . brush Jul 2016 #166

The DOJ report disagrees with you. Vattel Jul 2016 #167

Even you have conceded that the DA was bias towards the cop. brush Jul 2016 #168

What the DA did has nothing to do with the DOJ report. Vattel Jul 2016 #169

But it had everything to do with the verdict. The DOJ report . . . meh! brush Jul 2016 #170

I guess your assessment of the evidence is much more careful than theirs. Vattel Jul 2016 #171

Like I said, the crooked DA purposedly manipulated the grand jury into not indicting brush Jul 2016 #172

I didn't ignore it. The grand jury proceedings were a joke. We agree on that. Vattel Jul 2016 #175

People are going to believe what the MSM says and Lurks Often Jul 2016 #7

It seems more important to some that a study shows that blacks are shot more, for some reason. puffy socks Jul 2016 #33

Just as it is important to many that a study shows that blacks are NOT discriminated against. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2016 #118

Sure puffy socks Jul 2016 #123

Maybe, but again, the researcher/author himself admitted the flaws inherent in the study. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2016 #130

nope, not one person until you were talking about puffy socks Jul 2016 #132

Other factors like what? If there could be other factors, then let's pursue alternative hypotheses Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2016 #140

And visa versa. It seems important to you that black people are not shot . . . brush Jul 2016 #128

It already has been challenged pinboy3niner Jul 2016 #9

I really wish people would quit taking one study and going "see? done." nemo137 Jul 2016 #10

Is "% of the pop" the whole story? Nye Bevan Jul 2016 #29

You don't think the author of this study took that into account? jack_krass Jul 2016 #35

I don't assume and they don't say. psychmommy Jul 2016 #127

Stop lying anigbrowl Jul 2016 #40

Of course it is, but you haven't shown that to be the case here anigbrowl Jul 2016 #48

Skepticism is more than reflexive dismissal anigbrowl Jul 2016 #53

Only because they talk about % of people stopped by police. Mass Jul 2016 #25

I read the study, and the paper definitely has a garbage in garbage out problem with their data. La Lioness Priyanka Jul 2016 #26

Another reason we need a properly funded CDC study of guns that includes rigorous data on police anigbrowl Jul 2016 #51
