Harvard researcher finds no racial differences in officer-involved shootings either with the raw data or when contextual factors are taken into account.

Harvard researcher finds no evidence of a brain when he looks in guitarguy's head.

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.

Literally the previous two sentences in the extract.

Here's an interesting part of the conclusion:

We argue that these facts are most consistent with a model of taste-based discrimination in which police officers face discretely higher costs for officer-involved shootings relative to non-lethal uses of force. This model is consistent with racial differences in the average returns to compliant behaviors, the results of our tests of discrimination based on Knowles, Persico, and Todd (2001) and Anwar and Fang (2006), and the fact that the odds-ratio is large and significant across all intensities of force – even after accounting for a rich set of controls.

and later on:

As police departments across America consider models of community policing such as the Boston Ten Point Coalition, body worn cameras, or training designed to purge officers of implicit bias, our results point to another simple policy experiment: increase the expected price of excessive force on lower level uses of force.

So basically, the study found that the only reason police don't kill nonwhite people at a higher rate is because they perceive they will actually be punished for murder - and a proposed solution is to up the price of lower level uses of force so police can't use them disproportionately on nonwhite people.

THANK YOU FOR THE STUDY, GUITARGUY.

I stg, the conservatives on this forum would save yourselves a lot of embarrassment if you ******* read the articles/studies you post, and not just the headline or abstract.

It's just too easy.

I completely agree.

And considering that I quoted nearly all of the literal conclusion of the study, it seems like the conclusion is in my favor.

I just don't understand how you could have missed this. Did you not read the study? Who cited it to you and didn't tell you the other parts? I want to know,
