What a disappointment this man must be to his family, his community, and to his ancestors. One black man being a white supremacist’s ventriloquist dummy can do much, much, much, more damage than the bog standard white supremacist spouting white supremacist garbage. Shame on this lying collaborator and shame on the premeditated violence he is doing to the community of people who look like him.
Using 1 man and his 1 study to talk about the "facts" of police brutality. Not wanting to discredit the work of Roland Fryers, but, many studies, including ones criticising or picking apart Fryers results, point to different conclusions. This is not touched upon ...at all... Confirmation bias if ever I saw it. And there is not a single critical post in this comment section, so that appears to be what this audience is looking for.
@@Mesamedusa Dude, I am a brown immigrant. I've been stopped by the cops like 100-200 times. I haven't been stopped by cops for the past 10 years. I don't party & don't drive at night & I drive carefully. I am very polite with the cops. Actually, i was stopped recently, for supposedly not stopping at the Stop Sign. I told the cop that I have a camera, & I apologized in case it was true, & explained that it's probably the traffic conditions & I am working.... *(He just gave me a warning. And it's because the majority of the judges/attorneys will throw out the case, or or the worst case scenario, will ask me to pay 50% of the ticket). Look how the lawyers react to the traffic stop. They are extremely polite. There is no need to fight with the cops. You do it in court. There is no need for any type of confrontation or arguments. But I have friends who are speeding & arguing with the cops.... They drink & smoke in the car. And they are telling me that they are being stopped for no reason.
No. It should have a narrative, just an explicitly a-political one like "we are a place to educate the people and advance knowledge as rigorously and truthfully as possible. We do not have any political agenda and we bow to no one and nothing, except the truth."
Too much money is tied up in Universities for them not to have narratives. I know it sounds like I am being conspiratorial, but every university has been in hot water for one reason or another (all due to being bought and paid for). You'll probably remember the elite students who were having their grades paid for. You may know that every scientific paper (especially the university led ones) has been compromised by stat doping and outright false information to show a particular narrative. You may be aware that the information being taught at universities is stepped on heavily by corporations and politicians. It boggles my mind that we still value post secondary education at all.
"The truth" is the historical narrative they pursued. And actually he even said in the interview; whether he proved one side or the other that he proved right, he didn't care. When you find the truth, you get the tools to fix the problem.
Actually, they should. A commitment to free speech and open discourse and independent research. That's a narrative. The problem is they have the wrong one.
This man is an actual, Social Justice Warrior in the true sense of the term, he is actually looking at justice, and not identity politics, no wonder he's hated.
On the question of racial bias for routine stops where there is reported compliance... Could it be that there is a fear built from the experience since 50% of violent crime is committed by blacks who are only 13% of the population? I am assuming that the vast majority of that black violent crime is happening in the inner cities? Is this racial bias mainly happening in the inner cities?? My guess is a learned jadedness... For example, if you go to a store that frequently mis-prices their products, and you keep catching it at the register, you are far more likely to double check their prices, even if a good number of the prices are entered correctly. If so, how can we help police to not have that knee-jerk reaction??
As I've heard him what he said is that police are not racists, they're just undertrained, overarmed cowards with "us vs. them mentality" and shoot and brutalize everyone equally.
People hyper focus on the negative that being said there does need to be reform in the police namely in the self-policing department since we often see cops commit felonies and not be charged because the DA doesn’t want to hurt their relationship. Their department chooses to back them up instead of applying the law and cops use more force than required, in what I can only assume is an attempt to gain control in a situation which in many cases they have no right to use the force and are not charged for the subsequent assault and battery they commited
It is easy to say the cops should be unbiased, but when you know so many people are armed and you are stopping them for violating the law, one has to maintain a sense of self preservation.
And that's precisely why they hate him. He's got the "right" identity politics but the "wrong" opinions. By which I mean a commitment to basic morality and scientific objectivity. The very best parts of Western culture. And therefore evil.
How you can possibly believe that is beyond me. Or maybe you don't know this. Nixon's War On Blacks (Lawfare) is driving Blacks to Trump.

He will suffer the same faith as people like Thomas Sowell. He will be somehow known and in some way relevant and appear. But the mainstream will never acknowledge him, his ideas or will even touch his topics to bring it to their audience. He will simply be ignored as good as it can be
My PhD was on the US South. Before I submitted, both of my supervisors advised me that if I left in the fact that there was parity between blacks and whites when discussing poverty, 'other Universities will not want me in the future'. I stated that it was 100% provable and all the stats since the 1870s prove it. They replied, that it doesn't matter, it's not the narrative universities want or supply funding for. I walked away from academia as soon as I got my Doctorate; with the stats left in. It's all a depressing rip off, money-making business. I would add that making black folk feel they're still oppressed is big business for select white groups; including universities.
Good man. If academia refuses to hold truth of information as the highest standard, then they don't deserve you. Truth, ESPECIALLY when it's ugly, is more important than ANY narrative
I'm guessing the same people who think they can't get an ID and do not know what the word "computer" means. The infantilization bothers me, and I'm only seeing it from the outside.
@@jshyoungblood You're are aware of how universities work I take it? Garnering to the current zeitgeist. Procuring funding through organisations that make money from such issues. Making it fashionable to potential students and their paying parents. Promoting issues which strengthen their stance on a subject. Only employing those willing to get on board. Do I need to go on? It goes as deep as you can look.
The guy who literally misrepresent the findings of the study should be president? This whole comment section is proof you guys refuse to do any actual research and prefer to just engage in fallacy and a lot of appeal to authority.
his paper was written making assumptions and drawing conclusions, and coding their own data without posting the origional data. while its not impossible that the assertion made is true, its a sketchy paper and by no means woild bring integrity if scientests began making assumptions in order to get to a conclusion. The real truth is plenty of papers have presented evidence to the opposing argument, but the one that does is suddenly "this guy is right and knows all". its confirming what you already believe so its much easier to accept it as truth. theres plenty of pretty sound criticism that looks at his analysis fsctually that you can look up online.
The whole point of academia is to pursue the truth and bow to nothing else. The rest is just people doing bad stuff like fake status grabbing, prejudice or cowardice.
He started by talking about the backlash he faced by doing so, death threats included, so he should know better than most why people are afraid to tell the truth.
@@mattp7828 That's an oversimplification that glosses over the core issue - capitalism. When it's no longer about whether the result is scientifically significant, but whether the result has economic benefit for someone. If not, there's no funding. It used to be simply quality research could get funding. Not anymore.
Valuing truth above social acceptance, and facing the consequences that come with that, in my book, is the definition of moral courage. Well done this man.
the fact that a harvard professor didn't account for differential crime rates in his analysis should raise eyebrows... oh but keep clapping like a pack of trained seals.
And yet most people, most of the time, vote for the person who lies hardest, promote the people who lie most, and buy the newspapers who tell the biggest lies.
They would scream at you for believing in objective truth. They only believe in “their truth.” There is no reality in the humanities, and they are trying to push their post modernist BS on everyone else. It is the Rich White Lady gang, and they will cancel you.
It's very telling that the response to Roland's work from BLM wasn't: "Thank god we were very concerned about police fatalities, this is fantastic news"
@@brennangum6236 Absolutely! I think the problem with this issue and many other is people want an excuse to be angry or something to blame for why they're not where they want to be, not actually work on the issue. But for those who actually care, the first step in solving a problem is correctly identifying the problem and that's what Roland has done and why it's so valuable, if BLM are serious they should have taken this Data seriously and they didn't which is really disappointing.
Yet Fryer refuses to acknowledge SEVERAL other economic research studies(published in top economic journals such as his study was) that came out both before and after his study that find OPPOSITE results. ONE study doesn't constitute a consensus and Fryer KNOWS THATS THE CASE. He is far from an idiot. An Example Study: "Does Race Matter for Police Use of Force?

Direct result of diminished education in this country. Education must be our national first prioriety instead of interest in foreign policies that are wasteing our future for our children. Investing in educating is a must
It's not just kids. Look how Fox uses anecdotal images and plays them hundreds of times to insinuate crime is rising. Sometimes even the stuff they show lacks context
The bias he uncovered is in direct proportion to the self inflicted bad reputation of black culture. Thug life is real. The bad reputation will not be going anywhere anytime soon. The part that is unfortunate is when black individuals with good reputations are wrongly profiled as a thug. The bias is real because the bad reputations are real. Let’s recognize the bigger picture so we can put context on the bias. Roland had a Floridian slip at 11:58 when he began to say ‘why’ things are happening then quickly changed his word to ‘what’ was happening. I don’t think he is capable of exposing ‘why’ It should also be noted many thugs, bad elements, bad people have learned to be chameleons. When pulled over on a traffic stop a thug may appear a great citizen then whip out a gun and start shooting or reach for the officer’s gun all in the blink of an eye.
He points out what is happening but is unable to say why. I “ can “ tell you why. It doesn’t take a professor. The reputation of the black community is deeply stained and will remain that way. People refer to it as systemic racism but the truth is bad reputation manifests into perceived racism and it is the primary contributor to racial profiling. Everyone is entitled to their discernment.
Roland Fryer needs to be protected at all costs - He very well could be the next generations Thomas Sowell. That is compliment to Roland Fryer, Thomas Sowell is a global treasure.
Haha, we literally had the same thought. My words were a little different in my post, but my goodness I finish typing and look at the next few comments and bam there you are. You sir clearly have the capacity to see the big picture. Hurrah for you. Those of us with the eyes to see it, we must play our role, it's our obligation and our duty to those who can only see the details.
Being called all the pejoratives is a right of passage for any honest, black intellectual in this country. I'm sure he's heard them all before and has received threats, as well. Let's hope we get to see more of him and where his career leads.
Fryer should remain in academia and resist associating with think tanks with guiding political ideologies which would compromise the integrity of his research and other work.

So, there is a room with FDR, lincoln, and hitler arguing over if the final solution was morally correct. Does that saying still hold true? What about a room full of trump supporters and biden. Does that mean what biden says is true? Lets go with the opposite, room full of liberals and trump, does that mean trump speaks the truth? What about a room with ghandi, MLK and jeffrey dahmer arguing over the ethics of eating people.
Wow - blown away by Roland. Extremely intelligent and steadfast. We're so lucky to have people like this that can help us see through the fog of hysteria.
@@AH-te5gs Any real evidence of him sexually harassing his colleagues? No? Didn't think so. Y'all are so quick to immediately disbelieve a minority when his facts don't align with your feelings.
Depends on what truth you mean. When the naive child stated that the emperor was naked, was the emperor hurt because he was naked or hurt because he had been tricked? There's a difference. Only perverts enjoy being humiliated.

Hopefully he will realize that when it comes to education. Somehow the 0.5 bln Bill Gates Foundation experiment failed miserably at improving the educational outcomes, and they've tried everything under the sun.
@squibbelsmcjohnson Same here! Especially after the past four years. Who wants to believe a one world government is inbound, or digital slavery, 15-minute cities, cashless society, Great Reset, etc? I'm even a flat earther. My social life was so much better when I believed whatever the majority of scientists believed lol. Imagine being the only flat earther at a dinner party.
The world needs more social scientists like Roland Fryer, who use data and evidence to draw accurate conclusions about what is happening. To have proved his own preconception on this subject to be incorrect and to be willing to talk about it openly is admirable.
He's still in denial about certain aspects of the demographic/crime situation. You wonder why the police are more likely to use force on certain groups? Well, that's very simple. The brain is a pattern recognizer and cops (like all humans) have a natural instinct to protect themselves from threats. It's impossible to turn your brain off and ignore patterns you're aware of when they're linked to your survival and safety. It's lizard brain stuff. When they ask cops to not profile, they're literally asking them to turn off one of the most basic instincts they have. The cops know that certain groups are overwhelmingly more likely to resist arrest, assault them, commit violent crime, etc. and so OF COURSE they are going to be more likely to use force against them. Mind you, a use of force can be something as simple as handcuffing a detained suspect because they're nervous that the suspect might try to flee or attack them, and I guarantee that is the VAST majority of the instances Fryer counted as a "use of force incident." So, what he's calling "racial bias" is more than likely just the cops using their basic instincts, training and experience to more effectively do their job. The only way to remove this knowledge aforethought in the minds of the police is if the PATTERNS STOP AND THE DATA CHANGES i.e. certain groups STOP COMMITTING OVERWHELMINGLY HIGHER LEVELS OF CRIME, INCLUDING RESISTING ARREST, FLEEING, ETC.
At 44m. Larry is an intense and compelling man. I had the opportunity to go to Harvard. But when Larry was fired for simply asking research questions, I declined. Thanks, Roland, for sharing that story. And today, you and he are colleagues! A happy ending that’s yet another beginning.
Hes not the first. All the statistics have been known for years, even other black academics like Glenn Loury have said it. There is an epidemic of homicides, gangs and violence in the AA community that has been going on for decades, and we know around 75% of those crimes are never solved by police. We know if a blk person is harmed in the US, 99% of the time the perp is another blk person. We know a white person is many times more likely to be harmed by a blk person than the other way around. We know homicide is the leading cause of death for AA's and AA's is the only race where homicide or violence is the leading cause of death. All the stats are very clear but the left and the media say the opposite is true in some misguided attempt to help or protect them. This is how we got to a point where people can call for genocide in the streets and face no repercussions and stores are closing across the country from mob robberies and theres a total breakdown of law and order,
Roland Fryer should be added to Trigonometry as one of your interviewers. He is an incredibly intelligent and well spoken individual. I love how he can challenge a thought with the sincere desire to understand a different perspective. Well done sir!
It's so refreshing to hear someone say, I don't know. This was a proper good faith conversation. Could have listened for hours. This is what academia should be about. The pursuit of truth.
As a conservative I would love parts of the paper to be false, but the facts are the facts and you can't hide from that. Now it's time to research the details.
The most incredible thing about your statement is that Democrats read this and they have Republicans top of mind with examples when they say "You are right." Republicans have Democrats top of mind with examples when they say "You are right." And they are both right. A poor republican and a poor democrat have more in common with each other than either of them have with the rich in their own party.
What a pleasant breath of fresh air this man is. This is what an academic should be, focused on truth seeking regardless of where it leads you, willing to stand behind his findings even if it's unpopular.
@@wonderings8973 If he could back it by solid research findings, it would be a whole lot less pleasant because what it says about American society as a whole. But I would still commend him for doing good research. Of course, those were the results he was expecting to find and the the results that his fellow academics wanted him to find. So it would have been less interesting in terms of following the data despite it being unpopular as it would have simply affirmed the popular narrative.
@@siggyincr7447 I think you'll find that many of the people praising him would NOT be supportive of research that didn't reaffirm what they already believed. I've seen far too much of that over the years
@@wonderings8973 Sure, confirmation bias is the norm for human beings. While his findings aren't surprising to me, that's not why I hold him in such high regard. He went ahead and published despite warnings that it could be bad for his career. This is what we need more of.
Here in Denmark arabs and blacks has very bad attitude etc. Not people from Far East etc Same pattern in all of Europe. Worse in Sweden....50 no go zones. Police have to come with weapons and many.
I remember reading about a study done by a couple of statistics experts who collected a whole lot of data about police doing traffic stops in a region where accusations of racial profiling were rife. They actually set out to prove the police were racist. The results showed the police did in fact pull black people over more often, but they found they also pulled black people over more often at night when they couldnt possibly have known the race of the driver. The data showed the bias was caused by black people breaking traffic laws more often and attracting more attention to themselves. So the narrative about racist police was driven by emotion and not data. That is a huge issue because if you dont want to be accurate about the nature of the problem you will never get an accurate solution that works.
An officer has discretion to issue a ticket. Driving is not discussed in the Constitution. In fact, most police departments didn't exist before the Civil War. White drivers break the laws to, but an officer is more likely to give a white person a warning. Go do the research on that.
"Stop and Frisk" in NYC - Black (60 percent). Latinx (27 percent). were white (8 percent). Asian / Pacific Islander (2 percent). (2021) Police found a weapon in about one out of six pedestrian stops last year and found a firearm in about one out of 13 stops Justice Department found Ferguson police officers routinely violate the Fourth Amendment in stopping people without reasonable suspicion, arresting them without probable cause, and using unreasonable force against them.Mar 4, 2015 Ferguson Missouri is 71% black
I read the same study. You can only have good discussions with people when you pull the emotions out and gather all the data. Good reminder, thank you.
Thank you to Dr. Fryer for his good work and willingness to change opinion. My father was a dedicated cop for 18 years and always said to look at the statistics.
I am so SO happy to see Roland Fryer out and about. I remember when he first brought his research to light and it was a hopeful time. Now is really the time. The unreasonable voices had to massively fail in order to clear the stage for Dr. Fryer
Roland Fryer. The real deal. *Loved* this conversation, packed full of gems. His words about a *North Star* were both inspiring and poignant. Terribly Frustrating that we (Americans) can't seem to get this right.
A scientist has to have extreme curiosity and at the same time the detachment of a good jurist who weighs evidence regardless of where the conclusions lead. A remarkably small number of scientists are actually like that (I've met QUITE a few). And yes.. I've uniformly found people like this to be great men.
@@rbarnes4076 That became clear to me during C-19. Even the hard sciences are corrupt and stacked with knowledge gatekeepers in positions of power. Grant money applications will be denied if for example a scientist wants to undermine something such as germ theory. There's nothing scientific about declaring that the science is settled. More like soyence.
Something I hear in professional investigations around disasters from meltdowns to plane crashes is, “Investigate with the intent to understand, not to get someone fired.” It’s a beautiful way to describe the need to understand what really happened to assure the necessary changes are made to assure something changes.
As a black person from Africa, i have to say black African Americans need to be dealt with more caution, if i was in the US i would understand and the burden of performance is on African Americans to prove that they aren't all violent, but no thats not it instead they become more violent, so to me police are using force because that demographic are just to hostile.
1. If you are African you are not black (label associated with US legal codes) 2. Why speak on something that doesn't affect you? 3. The US created the current reality in those communities...deliberately (Like setting part of your house on fire then expressing concern when it gets out of control) 4. Every action (according to the historical record) has been done to justify the "R" (which pseudoscience initially failed to do). Scarcity has proved more effective in bringing that reality to fruition...and thus...The tree is bearing rotten fruit...(Newtons third law)
@@grannyannie2948 Completely pathetic, the same as we had protests in Australia after the overturning of Roe v Wade. And as a result they expanded legal abortion in Australia from 20weeks to 25weeks which is just sick.
@@aidananstey9848 Yes I remember seeing videos from Sydney. I personally like Tasmania's approach. It's legal, but no doctor is willing to do one, regardless of weeks. I remember listening to the NSW parliament debating the issue. Feminists argueing for it to be raised for gender selection for people of cultures who don't want girls. It made my head spin. I think most Australians view this issue differently to Americans.
Thank you for your honesty. Don’t ever change. You have authentic integrity, and that is the most valuable human trait that can be attained. You’re a very good man.
I love this man for his honesty. He admits himself before he saw the data, he had a bias against police, and then not only changed his perspective once shown the evidence, but refuses to bend a knee when attacked for trying to spread the truth.
Good to remember Fryer's study published in 2017. I'd bet that, since then, overall police interactions with blacks have become less aggressive whilst blacks have gotten more entitled and aggressive with police.
Roland Fryer: “I’m going to find something about this and people are going to like me!” 😂 I like that he went in looking for the truth, and stayed with it rather than bending to political will.

For example, if you go to a store that frequently mis-prices their products, and you keep catching it at the register, you are far more likely to double check their prices, even if a good number of the prices are entered correctly. If so, how can we help police to not have that knee-jerk reaction??
As I've heard him what he said is that police are not racists, they're just undertrained, overarmed cowards with "us vs. them mentality" and shoot and brutalize everyone equally.
People hyper focus on the negative that being said there does need to be reform in the police namely in the self-policing department since we often see cops commit felonies and not be charged because the DA doesn’t want to hurt their relationship. Their department chooses to back them up instead of applying the law and cops use more force than required, in what I can only assume is an attempt to gain control in a situation which in many cases they have no right to use the force and are not charged for the subsequent assault and battery they commited
It is easy to say the cops should be unbiased, but when you know so many people are armed and you are stopping them for violating the law, one has to maintain a sense of self preservation.
As a community resident / homeowner who benefits from police protection daily I humbly thank you for your service.
Roland Fryer is just a normal guy who wants to do the right thing. His work, morals, and ethics should be praised. A man to aspire to be.
And that's precisely why they hate him. He's got the "right" identity politics but the "wrong" opinions. By which I mean a commitment to basic morality and scientific objectivity. The very best parts of Western culture. And therefore evil.
How you can possibly believe that is beyond me. Or maybe you don't know this. Nixon's War On Blacks (Lawfare) is driving Blacks to Trump. A Black Trump supporter at the May 23, 2024 Bronx rally called for an end to Systemic Racism. There is no Drug Prohibition Amendment. The Feds lack jurisdiction.

More importantly he's prepared to be swayed by the evidence into changing his opinion

Funny that.

He will be somehow known and in some way relevant and appear. But the mainstream will never acknowledge him, his ideas or will even touch his topics to bring it to their audience. He will simply be ignored as good as it can be
My PhD was on the US South. Before I submitted, both of my supervisors advised me that if I left in the fact that there was parity between blacks and whites when discussing poverty, 'other Universities will not want me in the future'. I stated that it was 100% provable and all the stats since the 1870s prove it. They replied, that it doesn't matter, it's not the narrative universities want or supply funding for. I walked away from academia as soon as I got my Doctorate; with the stats left in. It's all a depressing rip off, money-making business. I would add that making black folk feel they're still oppressed is big business for select white groups; including universities.
Good man. If academia refuses to hold truth of information as the highest standard, then they don't deserve you. Truth, ESPECIALLY when it's ugly, is more important than ANY narrative

The guy who literally misrepresent the findings of the study should be president? This whole comment section is proof you guys refuse to do any actual research and prefer to just engage in fallacy and a lot of appeal to authority.
his paper was written making assumptions and drawing conclusions, and coding their own data without posting the origional data.
while its not impossible that the assertion made is true, its a sketchy paper and by no means woild bring integrity if scientests began making assumptions in order to get to a conclusion.
The real truth is plenty of papers have presented evidence to the opposing argument, but the one that does is suddenly "this guy is right and knows all". its confirming what you already believe so its much easier to accept it as truth.
theres plenty of pretty sound criticism that looks at his analysis fsctually that you can look up online.

“Why don’t academics care enough about pursuing the truth?”
I think history shows that people would rather be popular than right.
The whole point of academia is to pursue the truth and bow to nothing else. The rest is just people doing bad stuff like fake status grabbing, prejudice or cowardice.
He started by talking about the backlash he faced by doing so, death threats included, so he should know better than most why people are afraid to tell the truth.
People would rather be paid than be right, funding drives research.
@@mattp7828 That's an oversimplification that glosses over the core issue - capitalism. When it's no longer about whether the result is scientifically significant, but whether the result has economic benefit for someone. If not, there's no funding.

"Thank god we were very concerned about police fatalities, this is fantastic news"

I think the problem with this issue and many other is people want an excuse to be angry or something to blame for why they're not where they want to be, not actually work on the issue. But for those who actually care, the first step in solving a problem is correctly identifying the problem and that's what Roland has done and why it's so valuable, if BLM are serious they should have taken this Data seriously and they didn't which is really disappointing.

A Harvard Professor with integrity. Bravo!
The first since Professor Alan Dershowitz.
And he was suspended for it.
The bias he uncovered is in direct proportion to the self inflicted bad reputation of black culture. Thug life is real. The bad reputation will not be going anywhere anytime soon. The part that is unfortunate is when black individuals with good reputations are wrongly profiled as a thug. The bias is real because the bad reputations are real. Let’s recognize the bigger picture so we can put context on the bias.
Roland had a Floridian slip at 11:58 when he began to say ‘why’ things are happening then quickly changed his word to ‘what’ was happening.
I don’t think he is capable of exposing ‘why’
It should also be noted many thugs, bad elements, bad people have learned to be chameleons. When pulled over on a traffic stop a thug may appear a great citizen then whip out a gun and start shooting or reach for the officer’s gun all in the blink of an eye.
He points out what is happening but is unable to say why.
I “ can “ tell you why.
It doesn’t take a professor.
The reputation of the black community is deeply stained and will remain that way.
People refer to it as systemic racism but the truth is bad reputation manifests into perceived racism and it is the primary contributor to racial profiling.
Everyone is entitled to their discernment.
Not all liberals are brain-dead. It's why I'm no longer liberal for the most part.

So nice to hear 3 intelligent men having an important interview/conversation. They verbalize every point in my head (and more articulately).
He's amazing. And one of the few professors who would deserve the high price for his class.
I really enjoy hearing him speak
The world needs more social scientists like Roland Fryer, who use data and evidence to draw accurate conclusions about what is happening. To have proved his own preconception on this subject to be incorrect and to be willing to talk about it openly is admirable.
He's still in denial about certain aspects of the demographic/crime situation. You wonder why the police are more likely to use force on certain groups? Well, that's very simple. The brain is a pattern recognizer and cops (like all humans) have a natural instinct to protect themselves from threats. It's impossible to turn your brain off and ignore patterns you're aware of when they're linked to your survival and safety. It's lizard brain stuff. When they ask cops to not profile, they're literally asking them to turn off one of the most basic instincts they have. The cops know that certain groups are overwhelmingly more likely to resist arrest, assault them, commit violent crime, etc. and so OF COURSE they are going to be more likely to use force against them. Mind you, a use of force can be something as simple as handcuffing a detained suspect because they're nervous that the suspect might try to flee or attack them, and I guarantee that is the VAST majority of the instances Fryer counted as a "use of force incident." So, what he's calling "racial bias" is more than likely just the cops using their basic instincts, training and experience to more effectively do their job. The only way to remove this knowledge aforethought in the minds of the police is if the PATTERNS STOP AND THE DATA CHANGES i.e. certain groups STOP COMMITTING OVERWHELMINGLY HIGHER LEVELS OF CRIME, INCLUDING RESISTING ARREST, FLEEING, ETC.

Ronald Fryer is an exceptional scientist, incredibly interesting personality and the most courageous man.
Hes not the first. All the statistics have been known for years, even other black academics like Glenn Loury have said it. There is an epidemic of homicides, gangs and violence in the AA community that has been going on for decades, and we know around 75% of those crimes are never solved by police. We know if a blk person is harmed in the US, 99% of the time the perp is another blk person. We know a white person is many times more likely to be harmed by a blk person than the other way around. We know homicide is the leading cause of death for AA's and AA's is the only race where homicide or violence is the leading cause of death. All the stats are very clear but the left and the media say the opposite is true in some misguided attempt to help or protect them. This is how we got to a point where people can call for genocide in the streets and face no repercussions and stores are closing across the country from mob robberies and theres a total breakdown of law and order,
Roland Fryer should be added to Trigonometry as one of your interviewers. He is an incredibly intelligent and well spoken individual. I love how he can challenge a thought with the sincere desire to understand a different perspective. Well done sir!

I remember reading about a study done by a couple of statistics experts who collected a whole lot of data about police doing traffic stops in a region where accusations of racial profiling were rife.
They actually set out to prove the police were racist.
The results showed the police did in fact pull black people over more often, but they found they also pulled black people over more often at night when they couldnt possibly have known the race of the driver.
The data showed the bias was caused by black people breaking traffic laws more often and attracting more attention to themselves.
So the narrative about racist police was driven by emotion and not data. That is a huge issue because if you dont want to be accurate about the nature of the problem you will never get an accurate solution that works.
An officer has discretion to issue a ticket. Driving is not discussed in the Constitution. In fact, most police departments didn't exist before the Civil War. White drivers break the laws to, but an officer is more likely to give a white person a warning. Go do the research on that.
"Stop and Frisk" in NYC - Black (60 percent). Latinx (27 percent). were white (8 percent). Asian / Pacific Islander (2 percent).

This could well be so. But that some cops are hotheads (or closeted race haters loving the opportunity for authority), is true, too.
1. If you are African you are not black (label associated with US legal codes)
2. Why speak on something that doesn't affect you?
3. The US created the current reality in those communities...deliberately (Like setting part of your house on fire then expressing concern when it gets out of control)

Good to remember Fryer's study published in 2017. I'd bet that, since then, overall police interactions with blacks have become less aggressive whilst blacks have gotten more entitled and aggressive with police.
And each other because of zero consequences.
Awesome
It would be great to repeat the study
I think you are right. I have watched a number of police body cam videos on RUclips which support your thesis
@@pointermom7641did you listen to the podcast? Small anecdotal evidence doesn’t count for much.
My favorite line of the interview: “…I was probably using the wrong fork,…” Such a down to earth real human being.
This is one of those podcasts that is waaaaay more important than most people would think.
I hope it goes viral.
Cant believe im just seeing it now
A real professor? An actual intelligent professor.
Roland Fryer is in everyway what every academic should be. Kudos to this man.
Roland Fryer seems like an absolutely standup honourable man. Props to him for everything he did!
Most people believe they seek truth, but most really just want to stay within the sanctions of their tribe.
I think that is most definitely true. My experience has taught me the same.
Most people are weak and shirk from the slightest bit of pain and discomfort, be that physical or mental, such as the case with cognitive dissonance.
Simply put 🤷🏾

❤ Incredible Honesty ❤
A very insightful interview. Thank you for posting hosting it.
Roland Fryer: “I’m going to find something about this and people are going to like me!” 😂 I like that he went in looking for the truth, and stayed with it rather than bending to political will.
Or his own historical biased narrative so prevalent in his community by race
His actual rational was: “ I can help by providing proof through data” and reality was a lot more complex and less convenient for the entire culture.
I admire Dr. Fryer's honestiy and integrity.
I would love having this man as a professor more than anything.
God bless this man
