New research from Harvard shows a profound amount of racism by police…not less

Sorry conservatives, new research from Harvard shows a profound amount of racism by police…not lessDon't believe the right-wing spin about Harvard's damning study that illustrates how cops target blacks


Philando Castile was killed by a Minneapolis-area police officer while giving him his identification. Like so many other black men, Levar Jones was also shot by a white police officer while fully complying with his commands. Eric Garner was choked to death while screaming “I can’t breathe.” John Crawford III was killed in a Walmart by police because he was carrying a toy gun that he wanted to purchase. Jonathan Ferrel was killed by a white police officer while seeking help after a car accident. 12-year-old Tamir Rice was street executed by the Cleveland police in less than 3 seconds.

Stories and personal experiences of police thuggery and violence are so common in the black community that they constitute a type of collective memory and group trauma.

Thus, it is a type of common sense fact that America’s police are more likely to use lethal force against black people than they are whites. But what if this is not true?

New research by Harvard University economist Roland Freyer severely upsets this narrative.

Incorrect. I read Freyer's study in depth.

It shows HIGHER rates of abuse, verbal and physical, which should be addressed and eliminated.

But, it also shows the "Hands Up- Don't Shoot" mantra of BLM is a false narrative.

Officers DO NOT target and shoot blacks suspects at a rate higher than that of any other race. It simply does not happen.

And, that's what triggered the Dallas shooter -- the false idea that cops were killing blacks.

You know what, Cigar?

I think the narrative, in light of the Dallas shooting, will begin to change to something closer to the truth.

As a nation, we DO have some problems with our officers -- just not what BLM is claiming those problems are.

Just like Freyer, more studies and numbers will come out now to clarify what has been an incredible misrepresentation of the fact.

"Stories and personal experiences of Black thuggery and violence are so common in the police community that they constitute a type of collective memory and group trauma."

The other side of the coin.

If white cops are so racist why do they shoot whites more than blacks?

[del]

the only data the study had to work with was the self reported data from the police departments.

for some reason, that makes me less than confident in the veracity of the results, especially given the findings on the use of less than lethal force.

sorry, didn't mean to interrupt the victory lap

carry on

The shooting of Amadou Diallo occurred on February 4, 1999, when Amadou Diallo, a 23-year-old immigrant from Guinea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinea), was shot and killed by four New York City Police Department (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_Police_Department) plain-clothed officers: Sean Carroll, Richard Murphy, Edward McMellon and Kenneth Boss. The officers fired a combined total of 41 shots, 19 of which struck Diallo, outside his apartment at 1157 Wheeler Avenue in the Soundview section of The Bronx (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundview,_Bronx).

You have this tendency to read something then reach your own conclusions without regarding the facts.
