Today saw the release of a very good — but also very limited — study suggesting that white officers are far more likely to use “gun force” against blacks than black officers are. The study works by leveraging a natural experiment in the way cops in some places get assigned to 911 calls: The nearest available cop is assigned to each call and doesn’t get to choose whether to go. If these calls are more likely to result in force when a white officer gets assigned to a black neighborhood (relative to a black cop working the same beat and shift), it seems reasonable to conclude race is making a difference.

What total BS!!
Did it ever occur to them that blacks are more likely to attack white officers than black ones, therefore requiring the white cop to use force in return?

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
