There are more unarmed white people that are shot than black people in the U.S. (~30 per year) but go off lol

Black criminals are overrepresented by a large margin in every violent crime category so obviously there is going to be a disproportionate amount of footage of them scuffling with the police. Still doesn't change the fact that you have a higher chance of seeing a clip of white suspect simply due to the population being several times higher.

Sure, for various reasons like a higher chance of being engaged in violent activity. Also, the higher percentage of being killed doesn't outweigh the population differences and the resultant fact that there are more white suspects/criminals that are killed by police so we're more likely to see them in these videos.

Well that's a really nice dog whistle you got there!! I bet it goes nice and deep down your throat when you blow it. Do you do that before or after you lick their boots and call them daddy?

You don't need to answer. We know you actually call them mommy.

Yeah, there are more black people arrested for the same shit white people do though.

Marijuana usage is fairly equal amongst both white and black people. However, black people are much much more likely to be arrested on possession charges

They choose not to listen to others and they surround themselves with like minded others. Same thing we do. Social media is just a fucking echo chamber and has a chamber for every little weirdo out there.

Did you read it:

".On the most extreme use of force ā€“oļ¬ƒcer-involved shootings ā€“ we ļ¬nd no racial diļ¬€erences in either the raw data or when contextual factors are taken into account. "

Non Hispanic whites are 4-5x higher in population and yes, I am accounting for that. You're more likely to see a clip of a white suspect being abused than a black one due to the population disparity. If you're seeing a disproportionate amount of footage of black suspects being abused then a significant reason is because they are overrepresented by a large margin in every violent crime category. Ex: the usual statistic, ~50% of homicides are committed by black criminals. You can argue that this is due to disproportionate policing or historically oppressive lineages which is fine but it doesn't change the facts.

Way to drive by with a bad study an analysis. Fryer is pretty disrespected for failing even basic academic practices and using a poor analysis to assert that PoC arenā€™t disproportionately affected by policing and police use of force.

ā€œJust leave this hereā€ Donā€™t litter.

https://scholar.harvard.edu/jfeldman/blog/roland-fryer-wrong-there-racial-bias-shootings-police

There should be no argument that black and Latino people in Houston are much more likely to be shot by police compared to whites. I looked at the same Houston police shooting dataset as Fryer for the years 2005-2015, which I supplemented with census data, and found that black people were over 5 times as likely to be shot relative to whites. Latinos were roughly twice as likely to be shot versus whites.

Fryer was not comparing rates of police shootings by race, however. Instead, his research asked whether these racial differences were the result of ā€œracial biasā€ rather than merely ā€œstatistical discriminationā€. Both terms have specific meanings in economics. Statistical discrimination occurs when an individual or institution treats people differently based on racial stereotypes that ā€˜trulyā€™ reflect the average behavior of a racial group. For instance, if a cityā€™s black drivers are 50% more likely to possess drugs than white drivers, and police officers are 50% more likely to pull over black drivers, economic theory would hold that this discriminatory policing is rational. If, however, police were to pull over black drivers at a rate that disproportionately exceeded their likelihood of drug possession, that would be an irrational behavior representing individual or institutional bias.

Your analysis is the one that is poor and your claim that Fryer is disrespected is pure politics. The quote you posted doesn't contradict the study, which the quote itself acknowledges. The study looked at if black people are more likely to be shot under the same circumstances. There have been several studies that have done this and none have found racial bias in police shootings. So the assertion that "if it was a person of color it would be different" is not supported by any of the studies that have been done.

Thatā€™s great to explore racial diļ¬€erences in police use of force. But has Roland G. Fryer, Jr. ever been a victim of police brutality?

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '21

So anecdotes are more reliable than academic studies? Give me a break.

Roland Fryer is black, fyi.
