Another study to say the opposite

The second study did not sit right with me. The data set that they used was problematic, and the fact that they are testing for an intangible of bias is another problem with the study. One major part of the research is they coded by crime, but not all areas are policed the same, policing in Scottsdale is much different than in Pheonix so how can you get a fair and equal sample size to begin with? (why most researchers use population as a metric)

"Until now, researchers have been unable to test questions related to officer characteristics in fatal shootings. We created a near-complete database of fatal shootings in 2015 to test questions about racial disparities in FOIS."

The until now, comment is the academic version of Neva' Been Done Befo'! Also, how can the database be complete when they only surveyed 400 some odd police agencies compared to the over 10,000 that operate in the United States?

So they proved that certain races and ethnicities are more prone to lawlessness and risk taking than others. Nothing new here, that's been a known fact for a long, long time.

Modern day studies don't prove or disprove anything. They are all opinion based and data is always cherry picked to the advantage of who's paying for the study and what finding they want.

See:
Climate change
Vaccine safety
Endangered species
Medical treatment's
Anything else

Your statement can be true, google "P Hacking" John Oliver did a funny video on it years ago. There are ways to test the validity of a study and to test for the cherry picking of data. The majority of studies in peer-reviewed journals are tested for this, and the validity of a study can be seen quickly.

Yup! Just ask any beat cop, they'll confirm!!!
