Why is the left so against data and facts?
It's weird for the party of science
"To be clear: There was no swearing," said Dan Jurafsky, a study co-author and Stanford professor of linguistics and of computer science. "These were well-behaved officers. But the many small differences in how they spoke with community members added up to pervasive racial disparities."
This isnan actual quote from the study. You take this seriously?
Did you actually read this thing?

Yet "researchers can't just sit and watch every single stop," Eberhardt explained. "It would take too long. Besides, their own biases could affect their judgments of the interactions."

So they are basically eliminating all contsxt because the cant watch a substantial portion of the footage.
Nsacpi, this is beneath you.

Actually I do this kind of work...but not for police.
It involves coding what is being said into data.
You can then analyze how often words like Ma'am and Sir are used. How often a how are you doing is said. Or a good morning.
And since the process can be done from a transcript and no one knows the races of the parties involved, there is no bias on the part of the observer.
It is actually how good research is done.
The part about bro is silly and can be made fun of.
But really does anyone doubt the basic conclusion. And these cops are cops who are being recorded from their own recording devices. So they are on their best behavior.
It leaves out certain things that are inherently more difficult to code. Like body language and tone. But words alone show a difference.

"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
And something like that was proof of significant racial disparities. Because you never want to be called a dude or bro.
Comical.
Why dont we get to real facts like deaths or physical excessive force. Lets normalize that per interactions with officers and grade those interactions by level of danger/risk.
What are the trendlines since the Saint Obama left office?
Nobody wants to look at those numbers because it tells a much different story.
