I mean we had the cult of social justice rioting in Charlotte last year, and the guy wasn't even unarmed. So that isn't even a factor anymore.

It's a shame that a common sense cause like "preventing police brutality" was hijacked and politicized by Marxist crazies like BLM and immediately devolved into a race-baiting, media-sensationalized, riot-inducing, divisive shit show. But hey, that's the regressive left for you, they always need to divide people and tell them they are victims.

weird how a guy goes from working at lowes foods to selling pre rolled blunts to robbing houses while people are home and shooting at cops

I wonder if its several major leaps or the cumulative result of a bunch of small decisions over time

anyway I guess I'll take that discussion to the Cop Shoots an Armed Person thread

They go over factors they control for in good detail, UNTIL they get to the only one that matters, severity of infraction... they just write that one off and don't give any real numbers behind it, likely because if they used the same methodology as they did on the other factors the entire study would be debunked.

Quote :

"One might consider the hypothesis that officers were less respectful when pulling over community members for more severe offenses. We tested this by running another model on a subset of 869 interactions for which we obtained ratings of offense severity on a four-point Likert scale from Oakland Police Department officers, including these ratings as a covariate in addition to those mentioned above. We found that the offense severity was not predictive of officer respect levels, and did not substantially change the results described above. To consider whether this disparity persists in the most “everyday” interactions, we also reran our analyses on the subset of interactions that did not involve arrests or searches (N?=?781), and found the results from our earlier models were fundamentally unchanged. Full regression tables for all models described above are given in SI Appendix, Study 3."

And if you actually read what I said, you would see how when dismissing other factors, they use the least amount of actual proof for the most important one. See how every other control factor has the correlation listed? They provide a methodology but no actual numbers for how predictive it was or wasn't.

Look at the other factors like "length of stop"... seems to correlate very well with the perceived "disrespectful" words used like... *gasp* "Just". Imagine that... the person pulled doesn't have license and registration and the stop takes longer and the cop is impatient... but no, we are all Marxist-academics so its all about race and oppression. But what do you expect when you have a "study" trying to show racism based on subjective arbitrary values assigned to words with half-assed controls in place for other factors... pseudo science.

Severity - Formality: \beta 0.00  CI:-0.02 – 0.02  p: .893

6/7/2017 2:20:49 PM

That doesn't capture "severity" at all.

They use a subset of 869 stops categorized as "equipment" or "moving violation"

If they are going to be so meticulous on arbitrary syntax like saying "just" to show disrespect, you would think they would have the common sense to actually show equal attention to such an important factor.

That's why I referenced the length of the stop, despite their best intentions, they accidentally captured a more relevant factor that obviously has a high correlation with the perceived "respect" used by the officer. Driver taking forever to cooperate, or produce license, or has a ton of violations and background to go through... maybe the police officer gets impatient and says "just sit tight for a bit". GASP the oppression.

politicized Marxist pseudo science

I don't get my news from Hannity or Breitbart, but I think its funny that you disparage those tabloids while constantly spamming the left-wing equivalents, and expect anyone outside of the echo-chamber to care.

When you post some Marxist think tank's propaganda implying cops are racist based on irrelevant interchangeable sentences from select body cam recordings... you might as well be a right wing nut job posting a link to Alex Jones talking about chemtrails making frogs gay. Stupid is stupid.

^looks like they released the cops dash cam video (or had they already done that?, I just saw it).

SMH. Castille clearly tells the cop he has a gun. Fucking how does it go so wrong?

I consider myself desensitized as fuck to most of these, but man, that video was pretty bad. 100x worse that a 4 year old climbs out of the backseat after the cop puts a handful of rounds into the driver's side window.

6/20/2017 4:48:07 PM

very cool of the NRA to say nothing about a member of theirs being killed while legally carrying

6/20/2017 5:11:51 PM

"SMH. Castille clearly tells the cop he has a gun. Fucking how does it go so wrong? "

he tells the cop he has a gun and then flashes it at him after being told not to reach for it. The cop should have probably given clearer instruction than just telling him not to reach for it, but the couple of times I was pulled over with a CCW, the officers said the exact same thing to me - "don't reach for it and you'll be fine". I also always let the discussion with "I have a CCW permit and a gun in the vehicle", not "I have a firearm on me" as Castille did. Castille being high at the time probably didn't help his decision making any; that 2-3 second delay in processing what the cop was saying was about how long it took for the cop to go from routine stop to full-on panicked.

For those in here knocking the NRA for not defending a concealed carry holder, one of the requirements of concealed carrying is not being intoxicated via alcohol or other drugs. Castille's toxicology report showed that he shouldn't have been concealed carrying at the time.

It's sad to watch the video and realize that Castille was probably trying to be helpful to the cop, but due to extremely poor choices in phrasing and body languageended up getting shot. If the cop had been truthful in that he was pulling Castille over because he thought he matched a description for an armed robbery suspect and not for some trumped up improper equipment excuse, Castille might have realized the situation was more tense than he was giving it credit for.

Quote :

"Roseville police Officer Juan Toran testified Tuesday that he was performing CPR on Philando Castile and he saw the gun as paramedics rolled Castile onto a backboard. Toran says he shouted "Gun!" and removed it. Castile was fatally shot July 6 by St. Anthony police Officer Jeronimo Yanez after he told Yanez he had a gun. Yanez is on trial for manslaughter. St. Paul paramedic Eric Torgerson testified that he saw an officer reach deep into Castile's pocket to pull out the gun. He didn't see it sliding out of the pocket."

No one knew where the gun was and they didn't even find it until they flipped him over and started CPR. There's no way he "flashes" the gun. That's not even how the cop testified.
