The study noted many problems with the data on officer-involved shootings, and it confined itself to "citizen-initiated" contacts. Like you're at home and you call the cops because you hear something. Blacks no more likely than whites to be killed in those situations.

    So that's nice: if black people actually call the police for help, they're no more likely to be killed than whites. Great.

    The study did not examine the situation that most commonly results in a black man getting shot by police: police-initiated contacts. The media were SO EAGER to report the story! "Dog bites man!" But it didn't address at all the situations that were what the national debate was about.



    I can't be positive (now) that the stuff you linked is related to the study I looked at earlier. I think it is: but could be wrong, in which case everything I wrote above is irrelevant to your post.

    12yo boy playing alone, all by himself, police rolled up on him and shot him dead, in literally under 2 seconds. In barely one second, if that video can be relied upon (no jittery jump-cut or frame loss). They murdered him.


    Daniel Shaver was 12?
    Somebody called in that he was waving the gun in a threatening manner. That's why the police showed up in the first place.

    No, they did not murder him. Believe what you want but facts show that it was a tragic situation, not murder.

    Guess we could be like some folks and blame a life time of failures on non-existent racism. But hey, to each their own.
