Does anyone here have a good stats background? supposedly, this study http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0141854
finds no correlation between community level violence and police shootings. this would disprove the idea that more police shootings happen with black people because black people commit more violent crimes. however, I don't really know how to evaluate the methods because the math in this study is beyond me.

>no correlation
correlation is a number
>this would disprove
this would "disprove" nothing
>I don't really know
That is correct, you don't.

Are your values universal?

Are your values non-existent?

Can you prove nothing?

I barely skimmed it. But I don't think they control for the variable "resisting arrest". Furthermore, you can be shot by police for making rash sudden movements. How are they supposed to know if you have a gun or not? Just food for thought.

They are cowards who shoot first and ask questions later. Police used to protect the people, now they protect themselves before any danger is even confirmed.
