You know 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.

What you had was a working paper written by an economist based entirely on volunteered police reports. It's roughly worth fuck all.
The data being worth fuck-all is your subjective opinion. I certainly think it is worth more than a biased MSM cherry picking stories that support their narrative and ignoring ones that don't. Yet, many people are perfectly ok with just taking for granted the media is objectively telling it like it is because they are telling them a story they already believe to be true.

Probably 90%+ social scientists are hard left leaning. And between all of them they can't find any data to massage to support any narrative police are targeting blacks and murdering them. That should tell a person who was being intellectually honest something. Of course, it is a rare person who is actually intellectually honest.
Yea still not a peer reviewed study. That's like the only requirement for it to be a peer reviewed study. There are no shades or grades to it. It either is or it isn't and in this case it is not.

One day it could be a peer reviewed study. Then it will be a very weak study. Like i said it is based entirely on volunteered police reports. It is the equivalent of asking the officer responsible of the shooting did he do anything shady. That is objectively retarded basis for a study.
