“I collected a lot of data,” Fryer, who is also African-American, said. “We collected millions of observations on everyday use of force that wasn’t lethal. We collected thousands of observations on lethal force, and it was in this moment in 2016 that I realized people lose their minds when they don’t like the result.”
Fryer noted that he found “some bias in the low-level uses of force everyday,” which included “pushing up against cars and things like that.”
“People seem to like that result,” he said. “But we didn’t find any racial bias in police shootings,” he continued, noting that he had eight full-time RAs that it took to do the study over the course of a year. When he found the result, he hired eight fresh ones — and the study came back the same.
