‘All Hell Broke Loose’: Black Harvard Professor Whose Research Found NO Racial Bias in Police Shootings Forced to Hire Armed Security after Radical Blowback

11

A black Harvard Professor Roland Fryer has caused outrage as his study into police shootings found no evidence of racial bias. World-renowned economist Roland Fryer Jr. is the Henry Lee Professor of Economics at Harvard.

Police were 23.8% less likely to open fire on blacks and with Hispanics 8.5% less likely compared to whites.

Fryer did the study twice and even changed the researchers. Prof Fryer was advised the study could be career ending & he faced an appalling backlash for sharing the truth.
The left can’t handle the truth.
The left will destroy truth-tellers.
The left is evil.

Fox News:

A Harvard professor said that “all hell broke loose” and he was forced to go out in public with armed security after he published a study that found no evidence of racial bias in police shootings.

During a sit-down conversation with Bari Weiss of The Free Press, Harvard Economics Professor Roland Fryer discussed the fallout from a 2016 study he published on racial bias in Houston policing.

Harvard professor whose research found no racial bias in police shootings forced to hire armed security after radical blowback

By: Pat Droney, Law Enforcement Today Editorial, February 17, 2024;

A Harvard professor whose research went against the preferred, politically correct narrative of rogue cops gunning down minorities in the streets was forced to hire armed security guards when he went out in public, Fox News reports.

In an interview with Bari Weiss of The Free Press, Roland Fryer, a Harvard economics professor, discussed the public outrage he experienced after he published a study about racial bias among Houston, Texas, police officers.

That study confirmed what most in law enforcement already knew–that police officers are, in fact, less likely to use deadly physical force on blacks and Hispanics. While the study did confirm that police were more than twice as likely to use some type of physical force on those minority groups, they were 23.8 percent less likely to shoot black suspects and 8.5 percent less likely to shoot Hispanic suspects than they were to shoot at white suspects.

Fryer rightfully said his data showed “no racial differences in officer-involved shootings,” which resulted in “all hell” breaking loose while claiming it had a significant disruption on his life. In fact, it took a grand total of four minutes after the study was published for him to receive his first complaint, telling him he was “full of shit.”

Fryer said a bunch of unhinged people “lost their minds,” while even some of his colleagues criticized his research, refusing to accept the results of the study, with some insisting that he not print the data.

“I had colleagues take me to the side and say, ‘Don’t publish this. You’ll ruin your career,’” Fryer told Weiss.

Fryer, described as a “world-renowned economist” by Fox, quickly realized, based on comments he received from Harvard faculty, that he would get a lot of pushback. So much did he believe he would receive tremendous blowback from his study that, after finding no racial bias among police in deadly shootings, he hired eight new assistants and did the study over. The results were the same.

Fryer said after the results were published, he was forced to have police protection for about a month, noting he had a seven-day-old child at the time and had to be accompanied by armed security as he shopped for diapers.

“I was going to the grocery store to get diapers with the armed guard. It was crazy. It was really, truly crazy,” he said.

Fryer then became a target. The youngest tenured black professor at Harvard at age 30, Fryer was suspended for two years by Harvard in 2019 related to an allegation that he had engaged in “unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature.” He denies the allegations.

The study and research are probably the truth, but unfortunately Prof., it does not fit the agenda of the left.

And this is a good moment to remember … why we don’t want to rag on people for arbitrary factors.

Roland Fryer has discovered facts … that his party and his employer are paid to suppress and ignore.

… Apparently he has accepted the fact that this will end his career and lead to occupational martyrdom.

… and it will begin his journey to the “Dark Side” where all of us murder-phobes and rape-phobes and pedo-phobes live …

For one – I applaud his commitment, and I hope The Right, Inc. will encourage him to keep going and not step aside into one of those backwaters where the Fake Right keeps its Useful Idiots – as a mirror to the Left’s Useful Idiots.

There is no place on the dem plantation for intelligent conservative Blacks. Look how they treated and continue to treat Clarence Thomas and many others.

Yep. That’s how they do it. You support leftist marxist democrat propaganda all the way or they will say that you engaged in “unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature.”

We can’t have these kinds of facts out in the open. Peace and harmony might come to pass.

There is a meme out on the web. It’s two pictures, one above the other. The top picture is of Gene Wilder and Clevon Little on horses from “Blazing Saddles”. The bottom picture is of Barry Soetoro and Micheal Robinson before they were Barak and Michelle O’Bama. The caption reads”
“Racism was gone in America, then these two asshole show up and started it all up again.”
The Prof. is correct. And so is the meme! Just saying…
