Here's the non-peer reviewed paper you're talking about-

No, I said I didn't have time. I was out all day and still busy. It would take 5 minutes of googling to find the data. I know it wouldn't change your mind (or anyone else) anyways, so I am not in any hurry. The way human psychology works people make up their minds using completely emotional criteria. If data supports their emotional state then they support it. If data doesn't than it is ignored. It is a very rare person whom a preponderance of evidence against what they believe would actually change their belief. This goes for left and right leaning persons.

Anyways, if there was actually any hard data to support the narrative police were racist against blacks, especially white police, you can guarantee it would be published and featured prominently, considering the radical leftist bent of people that do such research. The complete lack of data supporting this narrative is damning in itself. All we have is the MSM cherry picking stories that support their narrative and ignoring the ones that don't.

So what is your response to there actually being a study showing blacks are no more likely to be killed by police than whites given proper controls. Just to hand waive it away by some arbitrary criteria?
