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.

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.
