Harvard professor finds no racial bias in police shootings

[Mick1]

Roland Fryer, a Black Harvard professor found, in his 2016 study, that there was no racial bias in police shootings. He was the youngest tenured Black professor in Harvard history at age 30. Interview is by Bari Weiss of The Free Press.

I saw him interviewed. He did not expect the results, to the extent that he redid the research, in its entirety, twice.

Colleagues pressured him not to release the results. He had armed guards for 5-6 weeks after he released the data, due in part to his seven day old daughter at the time. At the time, then-Harvard dean Claudine Gay claimed Fryer’s research and conduct with other employees “exhibited a pattern of behavior” that failed to meet expectations within the community. Megyn Kelly, not impressed:

But Roland Fryer refused to lie to America, Black or otherwise.

He had his first negative response/complaint four minutes after he released the data. So you know that person read all 250 pages in its entirety.

Prof Fryer started the study w/ the full expectation that he would establish as fact the racist basis of law enforcement.  He is is a very interesting and honest intellect.  I think he may be the next Thomas Sowell.  I don’t know if he can write as well as Sowell, but he has the same stubborn resolve to present the truth.

Prof. Fryer had his career derailed / was suspended from his lab by…. Claudine Gay.

Not only police shootings, but his work on closing the racial achievement gap in Harlem and Houston challenged the idea that it is socio-economic conditions that prevent kids from learning / achievement. It also required hiring teachers with the right mindset….

He’s a pure academic (and a Democrat). But he believes in the data and making sure our policies address actual problems, and create real solutions. That’s what makes him dangerous to people like Prof. Gay.

It’s shocking, shocking that the proprietors of the plantation don’t want the slaves to leave it.
