We use four sources of data – none ideal – which together paint an empirical portrait of racial
differences in police use of force. The first two data sources – NYC’s Stop and Frisk program and
the Police-Public Contact Survey (PPCS) – provide information on non-lethal force from both the
police and civilian perspectives, respectively. The other two datasets – event summaries of officerinvolved
shootings in ten locations across the US, and data on interactions between civilians and
police in Houston, Texas, in which the use of lethal of force may have been justified by law

There are no systematic datasets which include officer-involved shootings (OIS) along with demographics,
encounter characteristics, and suspect and police behavior.

we contacted HPD to help construct a set of police-civilian interactions in which lethal
force may have been justified

This stats is showing that white police handle black people more roughly. Which shows the white police handles black people more unfairly.
All the more to use black cops for black people that I advocate!

There are about 39 million black people in America.
There are about 50,000 black police officers spread out in 12,000 police departments.
Maybe you can explain how that would work?
Jeez, Greta, get real.

haven't read the study, and the nytimes is not going to report the methodology or all of the literature review and discussion, but that notion that "white cops treat black people more roughly" might be answered by the fact that blacks are more disproportionately criminals compared to whites.
also, given the race relations these days, they very well might be reacting to white policemen in ways that invoke that roughness.

The NYT article goes into some detail regarding the methodology, and the study's origins. It's an interesting read.

One conspicuously absent statistic, and there's reason to believe that the data is available to them, is the classing of interactions in cases where arrests actually occurred.

does the ny times piece give the title of the article and the journal its in?

yes it does

An Empirical Analysis of Racial Differences in Police Use of Force
Roland G. Fryer, Jr
National Bureau of Economic Research,

which states
This paper explores racial differences in police use of force. On non-lethal uses of force, blacks and Hispanics are more than fifty percent more likely to experience some form of force in interactions with police. Adding controls that account for important context and civilian behavior reduces, but cannot fully explain, these disparities. On the most extreme use of force – officer-involved shootings – we find no racial differences in either the raw data or when contextual factors are taken into account. We argue that the patterns in the data are consistent with a model in which police officers are utility maximizers, a fraction of which have a preference for discrimination, who incur relatively high expected costs of officer-involved shootings.

http://www.nber.org/papers/w22399 you can actually download it.
But you would have known that if you had actually read the link given.
BTW before you get too disheartened, the link AND the paper make clear that more study is needed and that its not fully accurate. Maybe we should let the CDC do their thing and have accurate studies done as it IS a public health issue.
Or people like you can follow the words of tthe rudyG and keep denying the facts.

Actually it has yet to be tried.

When black people are getting more outrage in less worst situations, like black dude dying of heart attack for being manhandled.

This white kid was shot 7 times brutally, only 17 yr old, for just high beaming the police. That's all he did. You are telling me, black people won't go ballistic if this kid was black?

Lil girl why don't you go find a grown up to read what I said and explain it to you.

Can you even imagine?

911 Operator: "9-1-1. What's your emergency?"
Caller: "I need the police! I think someone is breaking into my house!"
911 Operator: "Okay, sir. Please stay calm. We'll get you help as soon as possible. Btw, what is your skin color?"
Caller: "What? I'm black, why?"

Option 1
911 Operator: "Oooooh, sorry. I'm not black, so I'm going to have to put you on hold until our black operator is available. Unfortunately, she's on vacation right now, but she'll be back next week. If you'd rather not hold, I can take your phone number and have her call you when she gets back."

Option 2
911 Operator: Ooooh, sorry. Officers Dave and Mike are our only black officers, and they only work day shift. I have your address and phone number. I'll make sure they put you first on their list when they get in in 4 hours. Is there anything else I can help you with tonight?"

did you ever think oh enlightened one, which is the kindest thing I can think to say at the moment, that I might have been asking for purposes other than I was waiting for the breitbart version??

that it was possible I read the link and still am justified in asking the question?

or that perhaps, for some reason, I was not able to read the link?

while im here, please stop acting like you know me, or that by virtue of your leftist ideologies you are either morally or intellectually superior. neither is the case.

Mr Bernie Sanders keeps talking about this 75% unemployed black youths! I'd say give them a job! They can do these policing business. Infact I would do an recruitment ad to these youth, "If you think black lives matter! Join the force and help protect black lives!"

Corny but I'd market it as a noble job where these black youths gets to play a part in protecting black lives.
