Roland Fryer is an American economist and tenured professor at Harvard University.
💥Join us on our Journey to 1 Million Subscribers💥 Fryer received a PhD in economics from Pennsylvania State University in 2002 and completed postdoctoral work at the University of Chicago with Gary Becker. He joined the faculty of Harvard University and rapidly rose through the academic ranks becoming, at age 30, their second-youngest professor. In 2019, he published an analysis that found black and Hispanic Americans were no more likely than white Americans to be shot by police in a given interaction with police.

Using 1 man and his 1 study to talk about the "facts" of police brutality. Not wanting to discredit the work of Roland Fryers, but, many studies, including ones criticising or picking apart Fryers results, point to different conclusions. This is not touched upon ...at all... Confirmation bias if ever I saw it. And there is not a single critical post in this comment section, so that appears to be what this audience is looking for.

@@Mesamedusa Dude, I am a brown immigrant. I've been stopped by the cops like 100-200 times. I haven't been stopped by cops for the past 10 years. I don't party & don't drive at night & I drive carefully. I am very polite with the cops. Actually, i was stopped recently, for supposedly not stopping at the Stop Sign. I told the cop that I have a camera, & I apologized in case it was true, & explained that it's probably the traffic conditions & I am working.... *(He just gave me a warning. And it's because the majority of the judges/attorneys will throw out the case, or or the worst case scenario, will ask me to pay 50% of the ticket). Look how the lawyers react to the traffic stop. They are extremely polite. There is no need to fight with the cops. You do it in court. There is no need for any type of confrontation or arguments. But I have friends who are speeding & arguing with the cops.... They drink & smoke in the car. And they are telling me that they are being stopped for no reason.

Too much money is tied up in Universities for them not to have narratives.

You may know that every scientific paper (especially the university led ones) has been compromised by stat doping and outright false information to show a particular narrative. You may be aware that the information being taught at universities is stepped on heavily by corporations and politicians. It boggles my mind that we still value post secondary education at all.

his paper was written making assumptions and drawing conclusions, and coding their own data without posting the origional data. while its not impossible that the assertion made is true, its a sketchy paper and by no means woild bring integrity if scientests began making assumptions in order to get to a conclusion. The real truth is plenty of papers have presented evidence to the opposing argument, but the one that does is suddenly "this guy is right and knows all". its confirming what you already believe so its much easier to accept it as truth. theres plenty of pretty sound criticism that looks at his analysis fsctually that you can look up online.

The bias he uncovered is in direct proportion to the self inflicted bad reputation of black culture. Thug life is real. The bad reputation will not be going anywhere anytime soon. The part that is unfortunate is when black individuals with good reputations are wrongly profiled as a thug. The bias is real because the bad reputations are real. Let’s recognize the bigger picture so we can put context on the bias. Roland had a Floridian slip at 11:58 when he began to say ‘why’ things are happening then quickly changed his word to ‘what’ was happening. I don’t think he is capable of exposing ‘why’ It should also be noted many thugs, bad elements, bad people have learned to be chameleons. When pulled over on a traffic stop a thug may appear a great citizen then whip out a gun and start shooting or reach for the officer’s gun all in the blink of an eye.

@wheelie642 Ай бұрын

He points out what is happening but is unable to say why. I “ can “ tell you why. It doesn’t take a professor. The reputation of the black community is deeply stained and will remain that way. People refer to it as systemic racism but the truth is bad reputation manifests into perceived racism and it is the primary contributor to racial profiling. Everyone is entitled to their discernment.

@googleisskynet7312 28 күн бұрын

He's still in denial about certain aspects of the demographic/crime situation. You wonder why the police are more likely to use force on certain groups? Well, that's very simple. The brain is a pattern recognizer and cops (like all humans) have a natural instinct to protect themselves from threats. It's impossible to turn your brain off and ignore patterns you're aware of when they're linked to your survival and safety. It's lizard brain stuff. When they ask cops to not profile, they're literally asking them to turn off one of the most basic instincts they have. The cops know that certain groups are overwhelmingly more likely to resist arrest, assault them, commit violent crime, etc. and so OF COURSE they are going to be more likely to use force against them. Mind you, a use of force can be something as simple as handcuffing a detained suspect because they're nervous that the suspect might try to flee or attack them, and I guarantee that is the VAST majority of the instances Fryer counted as a "use of force incident." So, what he's calling "racial bias" is more than likely just the cops using their basic instincts, training and experience to more effectively do their job. The only way to remove this knowledge aforethought in the minds of the police is if the PATTERNS STOP AND THE DATA CHANGES i.e. certain groups STOP COMMITTING OVERWHELMINGLY HIGHER LEVELS OF CRIME, INCLUDING RESISTING ARREST, FLEEING, ETC.

I remember reading about a study done by a couple of statistics experts who collected a whole lot of data about police doing traffic stops in a region where accusations of racial profiling were rife. They actually set out to prove the police were racist. The results showed the police did in fact pull black people over more often, but they found they also pulled black people over more often at night when they couldnt possibly have known the race of the driver. The data showed the bias was caused by black people breaking traffic laws more often and attracting more attention to themselves. So the narrative about racist police was driven by emotion and not data. That is a huge issue because if you dont want to be accurate about the nature of the problem you will never get an accurate solution that works.

@bigdaddy3621 16 күн бұрын

An officer has discretion to issue a ticket. Driving is not discussed in the Constitution. In fact, most police departments didn't exist before the Civil War. White drivers break the laws to, but an officer is more likely to give a white person a warning. Go do the research on that.

My PhD was on the US South. Before I submitted, both of my examiners told me that if I left in the fact that there was parity between blacks and whites when discussing poverty, 'other Universities will not want me in the future'. I stated that it was 100% provable and all the stats since the 1970s prove it. They replied, that it doesn't matter, it's not the narrative universities want or supply funding for. I walked away from academia as soon as I got my Doctorate; with the stats left in. It's all a rip off. Making black folk feel they're still oppressed is big business for select white groups.

Hes not the first. All the statistics have been known for years, even other black academics like Glenn Loury have said it. There is an epidemic of homicides, gangs and violence in the AA community that has been going on for decades, and we know around 75% of those crimes are never solved by police. We know if a blk person is harmed in the US, 99% of the time the perp is another blk person. We know a white person is many times more likely to be harmed by a blk person than the other way around. We know homicide is the leading cause of death for AA's and AA's is the only race where homicide or violence is the leading cause of death. All the stats are very clear but the left and the media say the opposite is true in some misguided attempt to help or protect them. This is how we got to a point where people can call for genocide in the streets and face no repercussions and stores are closing across the country from mob robberies and theres a total breakdown of law and order,

Sowell is a former Marxist and when Marxists go disenchanted with Marxism they go ultra conservative/ liberism that even Adam Smith would rise again to tell them: cool down bro. It happened almost in every country. Yet Sowell retained from Marxism a proper study of history as heavily influenced by economy-which is usually correct (ultimate "follow the money"). This man looks like someone that can't adhere to a narrative if it's baseless. I studied 6 months in the US, a costy University high in prestige , I was one of the African guests together with European youth - we all could properly read a stat and cross data. Nobody - I mean nobody, not even professors - could. We weren't allowed to say "beyond the narratives of white privilege numbers and records say that police abuse and prison happen mainly to poor people and absolute majority poor white in the US, and poor black people. Disproportion in communities is tied to income more than ethnicity" Oh my we were almost banned and someone tried to re educate as victims of colonialism because math is white🙄 don't blame us if we all run back to our universities in Africa and Europe.Social studies are just too complicated in the US lately 😑
