Police violence linked to higher rates of preterm delivery, heart disease among Black women
medicalxpress ^ | 01/31/2022

en-year analysis links police complaints with hospital records, suggesting that the consequences of police misconduct may begin in utero and persist across the life course.

It is well known that Black women experience disproportionately high rates of preterm delivery and cardiovascular disease. New research from Northwestern University suggests that one contributor to these inequities may be the stress created by police violence occurring in Black women's neighborhoods.

The study, "Complaints about the excessive use of police force in women's neighborhoods and subsequent perinatal and cardiovascular health," was published Jan. 19 in Science Advances.

The multidisciplinary study conducted by experts in the fields of psychology, sociology, epidemiology, anthropology and medicine is the first to look at everyday forms of police misconduct and the health outcomes of women, adding to growing evidence that suggests police violence adversely affects the health of Black communities.

Sure can’t have anything to do with the fact that black women are often morbidly o bear.

I say leave all the minorities alone. Do not help, assist or come to the aid of. You will be decried as a racist and you will be punished. Leave them alone in their own world. Let them care for themselves.

I had a uncle who used to be a policeman in a big city. He said when there was a problem in the black community they would turn on their lights and sirens and drive to the scene at 15 MPH giving them all time to get away. Problem solved.

You get no thanks for helping. Just find another community to serve. Many are thankful just not these people.

Where is the control group?

Remove the police from one of these areas. Then what happens?

Violence and the murder rate goes through the roof.

So...it's "police violence", not community violence nor "food deserts".

The Communists at Northwestern University need to be charged for outright fraud.

Gee, common sense and observation say that the problem is lifestyle choices: morbid obesity, venereal disease, drug, and alcohol abuse.

I sent a note to the website stating this is an outrageously incorrect article.

Just remove the police from their neighborhoods.

Let them sort out all the crime and killings themselves.

As Fauci has shown us, if you pay the salary of “academics,” they will give you any result you want.

A cop followed me for several minutes yesterday and I swear my hemorrhoids started to itch.

So, out of experts in the fields of psychology, sociology, epidemiology, anthropology and medicine, I see two (2) valid fields of science and three (3) liberal arts shoulda been baristas experts.

I’m surprised these experts didn’t find it is actually WHITE police violence that’s making all the trouble for pregnant black women.

And let’s don’t get started on “experts”!

“multidisciplinary study conducted by experts in the fields of psychology, sociology, epidemiology, anthropology and medicine”

Three out of the five “multidisciplinary study” fields are nothing but reality distortion fields.
