The Left is succeeding in demonizing the honorable profession of police officer to the point where cops are getting so fed they’re quitting and departments are plagued with officer shortages because fewer Americans want to subject themselves to the abuse.
Police officers are racist, the Left screams. They ‘prey’ on young black men. After all, we have to believe that because Colin Kaepernick, Mr. Black Privilege, says so.
But a new study by researchers from Michigan State University not only debunks that myth, it blows it out of the water with this bombshell conclusion: There’s just no evidence to support the Left’s claims.
“Until now,” MSU professor Joseph Cesario told Phys.org, “there’s never been a systematic, nationwide study to determine the characteristics of police involved in fatal officer-involved shootings. There are so many examples of people saying that when black citizens are shot by police, it’s white officers shooting them.
“In fact, our findings show no support for the idea that white officers are biased in shooting black citizens,” he added.

Duh.
Hollywood, MSM and academia would say otherwise.
How about evidence of the MSM fanning the flames?

Exactly
Heather Mac Donald has been saying this for some time, as well as the fact that The Ferguson Effect mostly hurts blacks and minorities.

Yeah sure. Who commissioned that study?
The following comments are from my website scrolled to after the article on Parkland Florida and the war on the NRA which should have been about the promise policies used at that school. Ut’s the result of the policies the Obama regime were allowed to get away with.
The leadership of the so called political opposition (Republican) will wonder why as they lose a crucial election because of their inability to stand on principles. When Presidential actions should have been denouced and the police defended. When as President Obama initiated his racial division policy through the abuse of the “Bully Pulpit’ which went unchalanged and subsequently led to attacks on law enforcement. The only person to courageously do so was Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke and has because he is black received the “Uncle Tom” treatment
Clarke decried Obama’s abuse of the “Bully Pulpit” to create racial division which wound up using other similar incidents such as Ferguson MO and NYC.. Where Obama supported by the media would defend the attacker resisting arrest killed in the struggle over a law officers gun. Alledging the attacker was an “unarmed victim” of police brutality because he was black. Subsequently. There were continuous attacks on police ending up in a score of deaths.It Began when Obama used a non descript incident known as The Zimmerman trial and encouraged racial division through his twice use of the “Bully Pulpit”
. Obama defended the black attacker who was killed (a 17 year old 5’11 175 pound Trayvon Martin) by a 40 something year old 5’6” black hispanic (Jorge Zimmerman) working security in an integrated housing complex that was attacked by Martin knocking Zimmerman to the ground and the black youth was killed in a struggle over Zimmerman’s gun.
The media portayed the incident as Martin was an innocent black youth murdered in cold blood because he was black and the guard as a white hispanic guarding an exclusive white “gated”community .
Obama used the incident to declare racial division by using the “Bully Pulpit” declaring Martin was a victim of whites who could have been; First; “his son”, then; Obama himself.
When that inflammatory defense was picked by black gangs It also wound up and was used as an excuse to commit a score of racial assaults ending in deaths and serious injuries.
All the while this was happening in various areas of the country Such as the murder of an Australian visitor from Melbourne Christopher Lane killed while exercising on a Duncan Oklahoma street by members of the black gang known as the Crypts.
Such assaults were described by the press as “black youths with nothing better to do” Although there were some gang members who admitted their assaults were “for Trayvon” but met by stony silence from the democrats or denial from MSM because initially it was dismissed as a Obama miss-speak. As if he didn’t rely on a teleprompter for carefully prepared text checked out by advisers giving him the facts.
Shamefully members of the opposition so called Republicans chose not to condemn this but convenient to ignore. Thus demonstrate they are politically dysfunctional. Unwilling to work with or even recognize legitimate concerns from what they call the tea party who in reality are the Reagan voters of 2016 and unable to congeal into a unified working political unit. They did not learn from 2012,2014 and some continue to blow off 2016. http://www.theusmat.com/index.htm
“Hollywood, MSM and academia would say otherwise.”
Sometimes actual video would say otherwise.
They'd rather push the bogus science derived from computer "models" and such.
bkmk
White officers know they will go through hell if they shoot a black guy, so they are more likely to hesitate, putting themselves and innocents at risk.
Yeah, facts are pesky little things.
I am shocked by the conclusion if there are more white people committing crime in an area you are more likely to have a white person shot by police and if there are more black people committing crime in an area a black person is more likely to be shot by police. Shocked! /s
The claimed systematic racism of shootings involving the “blue wall” is a narrative that is dangerous and foments distrust and division.
I’m not saying there aren’t bad cops or racist cops anywhere but the Black Lives Matter narrative is WRONG
Become a Peace Officer, be inundated with the tsunami of Black crime, take endless sh*t if you do anything about it.
Who wants the job? Anybody....?

how many studies does this make now? 10? 20?
or, to loosely paraphrase Trump, ‘how many bites of the apple do they want’ before the grievance addicts finally admit it’s just an apple, folks.
