A study by a Harvard professor released this month found no evidence of racial bias in police shootings even though officers were more likely to interact physically with non-whites than whites.
The paper for the National Bureau of Economic Research, which examined thousands of incidents at 10 large police departments in California, Florida and Texas, concluded that police were no more likely to shoot non-whites than whites after factoring in extenuating circumstances.
“On the most extreme use of force — officer-involved shootings — we find no racial differences in either the raw data or when contextual factors are taken into account,” said Harvard economics professor Roland G. Fryer Jr. in the abstract of the July 2016 paper.
Mr. Fryer, who is black, told The New York Times that the finding of no racial discrimination in police shootings was “the most surprising result of my career.”

So there!
But many will not be swayed from their lackadaisical, lead-by-the-nose thinking that their race baiting leaders feed them. There's money and political fodder to be made by dividing us.
The reason that there is less interaction with whites is very simple. Most whites don't take offense to be pulled or jacked up on the skreet.
Comply is the answer instead of jumping ape sh-t "you jacked me cause I be black you pig" Keep that Black Loud Mouth shout and comply. But there would be no pay day for you to say have a nice day officer and head home yourself. Sorry, I'm getting tired of this crap, my white privilege is about to go postal.
The liberal WashPost recently assigned several journalists to investigate this very topic and they came to the same conclusion.
Washington Post is intelligence.
