Actual study of real data: Nope, white cops are not more likely to shoot black suspects

You've been had, America

You know that massive rash of racist police shootings in which white officers shoot black suspects just because they’re black? Right. Neither do I. Because a few overhyped videos presented by the media without context don’t prove that any such thing is happening. Of course, that’s not stopping gullible celebrities and athletes from protesting and declaring “this isn’t right.” There is no solid information to suggest that a “this” even exists, but when you’re engaging in very public moral preening, you’re not going to let that stop you.

But what might stop you is some actual data that proves the whole thing is a gigantic hoax. And two researchers - John R. Lott Jr. of the Crime Prevention Research Center, and Carlisle E. Moody of the Department of Economics at the College of William and Mary - now offer us that very thing:


TOPICS: Conspiracy; Government; Politics; Society
KEYWORDS: blacksuspects; shootings; study; whitecops

The media knows the statistics but they won’t report the truth. Just like they refused to report the lies of Black Lives Matter when kept saying “hands up, don’t shoot”. That was never true, but the media never questioned anyone who said it BECAUSE they like any narrative that is against conservatives.

They're probably less likely, due to the potential consequences of it being treated as a racial incident, with all the life-ruining attention it would bring, regardless of the facts.
