There it is folks: blacks aren't treated any different than whites, they just cry a lot more. This is science, and we know how lefties are always talking about how they are the ones who believe in science. Let's see how they respond when confronted with some real science that contradicts their idiotic agenda:


The youngest black professor ever to receive tenure at Harvard and recipient of an economics prize for “most promising American economist under 40” has just upended the conventional wisdom on police shootings.

There is no racial bias when officers fire on suspects, according to a new study by Prof. Roland Fryer – black suspects are actually less likely to be shot than other suspects.

The study looked at more than a thousand shootings in 10 major police departments, The New York Times reports. Fryer and student researchers spent 3,000 hours putting together data from police reports in Houston, Austin, Dallas and Los Angeles, as well as Orlando, Jacksonville and four other Florida counties.
 
This paper explores racial differences in police use of force. On non-lethal uses of force, blacks and Hispanics are more than fifty percent more likely to experience some form of force in interactions with police. Adding controls that account for important context and civilian behavior reduces, but cannot fully explain, these disparities.

Our results have several important caveats. First, all but one dataset was provided by a select group of police departments. It is possible that these departments only supplied the data because they are either enlightened or were not concerned about what the analysis would reveal. In essence, this is equivalent to analyzing labor market discrimination on a set of rms willing to supply a researcher with their Human Resources data! There may be important selection in who was willing to share their data.

The reason there's a spike in violent crime is because obama's new policies that he's intergrating don't work

One thing the obama admit likes to do is have the control but have the ownership in the hands of cities and municipalities. That way when it fails he has someone to blame.

They hold up Dallas as a bastian for BHO new police policies but conveniently leave out the spike in crime.

This means nothing....hence the truth means nothing. The race baiters and haters like Obama, will ignore it.

I note you ignore the excerpts I posted from the abstract of the actual study cited in the article.

That is because the study means nothing where it does not support your political position.
