The real racial bias: Cops more willing to shoot whites than blacks, study finds

“When it comes to the issue of race, I’ve never had a single officer tell me, ‘I didn’t shoot a guy because he was white.’ I’ve had multiple officers tell me, ‘I didn’t shoot a guy because he was black,’ ” Mr. Klinger said.
In fact, he said, officers involved in shootings have told him that they were actually relieved that the person they shot was white, not black.
“Once you start looking at levels of violence, levels of threat, blacks are not shot in manners that are disproportionate to their involvement in illegal activity,” he said. “And it doesn’t matter if the cop is black, white or Hispanic, police officers presented with deadly threats use deadly force. Period, paragraph, end of story.”

What they may or may not do in a simulation has nothing to do with what they HAVE DONE in reality.

I wonder if he really expected to hear a police officer say they were hoping to have shot a black person?

The interviews, which he conducted for a book he’s planning to finish this year, run directly counter to the prevailing view pushed by social justice groups, politicians and others: that shooting victims such as 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson were victims at least in part of racial discrimination against blacks among cops.

:laugh: The numbers of unarmed, shot and killed by the police black men vs the number of unarmed shot and killed by police white men tends to run directly counter to his prevailing interview results.

Again, was he expecting people to go on record saying they wanted to shoot and kill black people?



Eighty-five percent of the participants were white, and none was a police officer. At the same time, a 2013 study led by Ms. James using active police, military and the general public found the same phenomenon: All three groups took longer to shoot black suspects, and participants were also more likely to fire on unarmed whites and Hispanics than blacks.


As the participants in the shooting exercise weren't behind the blue line, the study is irrelevant.

The original study which actually used a mixture of police officers, military and the public may have been more relevant.

But again, you're talking simulation vs reality.

To borrow a phrase: apples and pork rinds.

What's that I hear? The squawk of the SJW crying out in anguish when actual proof contrary to their "narrative" is produced.

What you should have been hearing was me attempting to give you and your still hurt feelings the benefit of the doubt.

What you should have be hearing is me trying to keep you from looking completely silly by trying to downplay the fact that you seem to think simulated results are a better measure of reality than reality.

What you should have been hearing is an adult telling a young man that you can't give me SIMULATED results as ACTUAL proof of anything when the ACTUAL runs contrary to your simulated. :laugh:

I'm sorry that I stepped on your toes. I didn't mean for it to turn you into this.

Wonder who he'll plagarize to answer back?:laugh:

Or will he just lie again?

You should have been honest about who and what the study included and not posted a bunch of garbage to try and sway people before they even read the article. However, as I proved in the thread about the NYPD commissioner, you lie on a regular basis to try and change the story to what you want it to be. Facts are clearly not something you care for, as we are still waiting for any proof of all the "documented" nonsense you claim.

Try Tumblr, they love special snowflakes like you! :thumbs:

Pure foolishness. I stated who the study included and even mentioned that perhaps the original including police officers would have been better suited.

and not posted a bunch of garbage to try and sway people before they even read the article.

The only garbage being displayed is coming from your fingertips thinking that you're discrediting reality with simulated results.

I read the article. It's a simulation not even using police officers. There is no comparison to be made, no matter how much you think you can, between those behind that blue line and folks in a simulation. It's just laughable.


However, as I proved in the thread about the NYPD commissioner, you lie on a regular basis to try and change the story to what you want it to be.

What you've proven, is that your feelings got hurt and now you've taken to trying to stretch the truth to fit your new narrative.

Facts are clearly not something you care for, as we are still waiting for any proof of all the "documented" nonsense you claim.

I don't have a problem with facts. You apparently do. You're the one who is trying to present a simulation as proof to contradict reality. :laugh:

Oh that's cute.
