Y2A rank	Sat Apr 24 19:26:32 2021 why does it seems that so many of these police shootings where the justification is the "wallet/phone/lighter/etc..." looked like a gun turn out to be that the victim is black? I mean, if it was random you would see a racial distribution of these incidents in line with general police-civilian interactions.
tumbleweed rank	Sat Apr 24 19:39:35 2021 this has a video w/ the 911 call audio & transcript(not super well sync'd) that also includes cop arriving & shooting him (he's still on phone to 911) http://fre...44-5d89-be9a-5ee086d4273b.html
Habebe rank	Sat Apr 24 20:42:56 2021 Y2a, It may be a random racial breakdown. I guess the factor would be how frequently people get into police confrontation by race.
kargen rank	Sat Apr 24 21:11:04 2021 from a Yale study. "In stark contrast to non-lethal uses of force, we find no racial differences in officer-involved shootings on either the extensive or intensive margins. Using data from Houston, Texas – where we have both officer-involved shootings and a randomly chosen set of potential interactions with police where lethal force may have been justified – we find, in the raw data, that blacks are 23.8 percent less likely to be shot at by police relative to whites. Hispanics are 8.5 percent less likely. Both coefficients are statistically insignificant. Adding controls for civilian demographics, officer demographics, encounter characteristics, type of weapon civilian was carrying, and year fixed effects, the black (resp. Hispanic) coefficient is 0.924 (0.417) (resp. 1.256 (0.595)). These coefficients are remarkably robust across alternative empirical specifications and subsets of the data. Partitioning the data in myriad ways, we find no evidence of racial discrimination in officer-involved shootings. Investigating the intensive margin – the timing of shootings or how many bullets were discharged in the endeavor – there are no detectable racial differences."

kargen rank	Sun Apr 25 00:13:48 2021 http://law...a/workshop/leo/leo16_fryer.pdf I haven't read the entire thing yet but when I get some more time I plan to. The parts I have read shows there is a racial disparity in use of non violent responses such as pepper spray and putting suspects in handcuffs. Haven't got to the part about possible causes yet other than a quick glance.
Rugian rank	Sun Apr 25 16:36:53 2021 How hard is it to follow instructions? When a cop has his gun pointed at you and is repeatedly yelling at you to "stop moving towards him," it should be basic common sense to stop moving. The video doesn't really establish whether the cop was justified or not, but it's undeniable that the suspect's stupidity played a role in his demise.
