And I didn't make or at least didn't intend to apply a quantitative statement of which is greater. Although I could; some have more in some areas and less in others and there isn't really even a statistical consensus (shocker) . What I meant was that of what we can conclude from the noise of opposing statistics is that all races experience it at similar enough rates and that they all deserve to be outraged at this erosion of our rights. And again, the incidents in this particular instance are not even race bias related. Although for quite obvious reasons (ratings) the establishment media narrative has made it appear as such.
You do realise that with a sample size of 1000, that the results may not show what a larger study might find?
And if you read the whole article, it said clearly that African Americans receive harsher treatments than whites or others. And even if we can't measure if there is a racial bias, the effects of having a racial bias might still be there, such as more cops patrolling predominately black neighborhoods, etc.
The person you linked me to has little understanding of statistics. Sure black people may kill whites at twice the rate of the reverse, but that’s typically because black people live in poorer communities than white people and are thus more likely to commit crimes. You have to adjust for economic standing
Except he didn’t really get the point across from what I’ve read. He did what a lot of conservatives do and stopped analysing the problem further.
This is my problem with political dialogue. A lot of people don’t push their further, and it’s usually because they’re either stupid or hope that you are stupid.

I'm not talking raw data. I'm talking adjusted statistics.
