@TheEvmeister @mtaibbi "The ones I've seen suggest the direct opposite. Stop lying." Do you understand how silly that sounds? Probably he saw different studies.

@mtaibbi "There are some studies that show that blacks are not shot, unarmed, by cops much more than whites."

The ones I've seen suggest the direct opposite. Stop lying.

And why does Matt constantly engage with these sketchy accounts? Why indulge this nonsense?

The main impact of stop-and-frisk and strategies like it was to massively increase the number of police contacts, which in turn increases possibility of things going wrong (in addition to prosecution on dumb offenses).
