He was one of 33 people there. Where were people so upset? I'm plugging his name into Reddit right now, which I've been told is a hellhole of soyboy cuck leftists, and there is hardly any discussion of him at all. And it looks like only one thread with any discussion from 2016. They don't seem very upset:
I've decided to go ahead and read the 57 page paper. I'm a grad student in Econ and maybe I can use this for a paper or assignment somehow (though I kind of doubt it, DEI has nothing to do with my area).
I'll give you a summary tomorrow (or the next 2-3 days, depending on my schedule), but I can already tell you none of the four datasets utilized relied upon self-reporting police departments, and I have no idea where the idea it was just Houston came from.
The study includes 5 million incidents in NYC (Stop & Frisk), over 400,000 nation-wide Police Contact surveys from the DOJ, police departments of Boston, Camden, Austin, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles and six whole counties of Florida over 15 years. Philadelphia & Tacoma agreed, but never provided data. Camden had just 1 officer involved shooting, so they were excluded.
I'm about 10 pages in, but I'm not going to finish all 57 tonight.
Also, the analysis is going to have some statics, though they might not be what most WR posters are used to.
P.S. Fryer is nearly apologetic in his opening and conclusion, and describes different approaches they took to the data trying to find evidence of discrimination in police shootings. His abstract mention of 50% greater violence is all the evidence you need. The first paragraph on page 4 shows after variables are accounted for (IOW, resisting arrest, running away, etc.), the OR drops to 1.178 for Black suspects and 1.122 for Hispanics.
That's 17% more for Black and 12% more for Hispanics.
He used the non-factored 50% to look bigger and more problematic.
