For example, you claimed that "Unarmed black people are 3.49 times as likely to be killed as unarmed white people. Local crime rates have zero effect on this statistic." This is false for two reasons. First, this is an analysis of police-involved killings alone, and is not the society-level indictment you suggested. Second, the data for police-involved killings comes solely from those reported on by the media. Since the media overreports on police killings of black Americans (e.g., George Floyd) and underreports on police killings of white Americans (e.g., Timothy Coffman, Tony Timpa), this is highly suspect.
You also claimed that it's "actual racism" that... the ratios of stops that turn up contraband and stops that don't turn up contraband occur "at the same rate regardless of race." How is it "actual racism" not to target a racial minority out of proportion to genuine suspicion?
You claim that disproportionate cross-racial shootings of off-duty police officers is due to "actual racism," but the study you cite says the disparity is likely due to unconscious biases rather than racial animus. Problems of fear-conditioning and P200/N200 overmatch are problems, but they have a different solution than the problem of police departments filled to the brim with racists.
I was interested by the stereotypically black name versus stereotypically white name study, but was deeply disappointed that it didn't study that question. Instead, it seemed as though the study were deliberately trying to blur the lines between race and class. Why compare "Jamal" to "Emily" or "Greg" instead of "Dakota"?
