That's doubtful--- it's young white men who tend to execute mass-shootings, and the officer in question knew he was responding to a mass shooting.

- im3w1l 11y agoWhile you are right that gender is a very strong predictor, you are wrong about race, according to CNN[1]. > white people ... committed some 64% of the shootings ... Black people committed close to 16% ... Asians were responsible for around 9% ... Latinos are almost nowhere to be seen > whites and blacks are pretty proportionate to their population [1] http://edition.cnn.com/2015/06/27/us/mass-shootings/index.html http://edition.cnn.com/2015/06/27/us/mass-shootings/index.ht...
- secstate 11y agoNo, the cop on the show explained his reasoning that he expected a young white male. Cops are taught that active shooters are predominantly young white males. You can argue statistics, but the officer in the piece specifically said he was looking for a man, not a woman.
- civilian 11y agoYup, this. I tried to find the episode but I can't remember what show it was on. :-/
