This is an outrage and a rape of the scientific process. Publishing research contrary to the opinion/narrative of the Social Justice Mob can result in your dismissal and ruination of your career. Such research causes “Harm” and cannot be tolerated. At the very least the scientific community at Michigan State and elsewhere should protest the loss of scientific freedom and preferably should threaten to resign. Don’t hold your breath.

So, we cannot trust any of those “studies,” because studies that prove that the left is wrong get their authors fired and blackballed.

Truth and fact are seen as false by leftist losers when those don’t support their lunacy. These academic researchers are such weak cucks. They have no integrity in their fear.

As for the culture war I don’t know how you change 16 years of conditioning through the public schools.

Adopt Mao's solution?

Scientists hiding the truth for fear of reprisals by politically motivated groups. So what is “settled science “? And we’re supposed to believe everything they say?

BLM has ALWAYS been founded on a LIE: That police shoot black people at disproportionately high rates because of discrimination. It’s simply not true. In fact, they are LESS likely to be killed by police.

And yet, the LIE has gone around the world, and people lose their jobs for saying the truth.

Cancel the liberal arts and humanities programs while you’re at it. If you can’t teach those subjects well, don’t offer them at all.

What is the truth? The truth is that which serves the revolution.

The universities in America are a disgrace. All funding needs to cease immediately.

A more recent study was done by a young black academic at Harvard. He studied the data himself and he studied many of the previous studies done before him. He found also that in the category of use of fatal force encounters between police and civilians (in that category alone) there was not a racial disparity in those encounters. He wrote about his study in a WSJ editorial.

“What the Data Say About Police
There are racial differences in use of nonlethal force, but not in officer-involved shootings.”
[By Roland G. Fryer Jr.
WSJ June 22, 2020 1:12 pm ET]

However, while Conservatives must appreciate Mr Fryer’s honesty in his study in the area of police shootings, Conservatives must also accept that Fryer’s study and the data do not exonerate all local police for the appearance of racial disparities in lower level police-civilian interactions. Yes, BLM’s claims about police shootings of blacks do not match the data, but below that level there are problems that need to be addressed.

The Truth is not allowed, only the Black Lies Matter, Antifa, and Anarchist lies which are dictated to them by the media moguls who are attempting to take over direct control of the country.

Barr said it went from 40 to 10 per year. So for these 10 were ruining America as we know it and causing more murders and deaths and billions in damage. Doesn’t make sense.

These two statements are predicated on the concept of "guilty until proven innocent". There may be problems in the use of less-lethal force, but the study does not appear to have any relation to the crimes being investigated, nor the statistical analysis of who is committing crimes, including which crimes. Disproportionate interaction numbers is not necessarily caused by Police actions. It can also easily be caused by the actions of those who are disproportionately interacting with police.

I will let Mr Fryer answer you:

You can see his detailed report at the link below. Some it is heavy with how the statistical measuring is done, but you can see for yourself if he covers your questions or not; if the conditions you mentioned are covered or left out.

...Terrified Academics...

ACADEMIC (ak-uh-DEM-ik): An individual educated beyond his intelligence who is unwilling or unable to create or provide anything of value to others, who pontificates and expects to be paid for it, usually from public funds.

Yeah, but others need to read the facts and statistics from the FBI crime stats.

It wasn’t directed specifically to you. ;^)

Continually reminded of the talking doll scene in Planet of the Apes.
