Police more reluctant to shoot blacks than whites, study finds

WashingtonTimes: In the most sweeping study of its kind, police were more reluctant to shoot black suspects than their white counterparts, contradicting the widely accepted “racist cop” narrative driving movements such as Black Lives Matter.

Instead, the Washington State University research, which was conducted before the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, lends support to previous studies pointing to a “reverse racism” phenomenon in policing.  more

8 Comments on Police more reluctant to shoot blacks than whites, study finds

  1. But the reason cops DO shoot a lot of blacks is that when confronted with arrest, whites tend to surrender, whereas blacks fight back. And the reason they fight back is ’cause theydindunuffin.

  2. Actually, the police response base on the race (the very definition of racism) probably lead to the result above – blacks know that the police hold back so there’s always more of a chance they’ll get away. Because Pavlov.

  3. The modified response to skin color by police, exactly opposite to what is alleged by BLM, has trained them to flee. There’s always the chance that they will get away so they try. Because Pavlov.

  4. This is laughable especially for people who deny facts. If you believe white cops hesitate to shoot blacks off a fucking stimulation you’re a fucking idiot because that’s how they came up with this study. We have seen too many countless videos of interaction with cops with whites and cops with black.
