My opinion is that the whole study is meaningless, an insult to human intelligence, and a waste of the paper it was written on. I don’t care what race the police officers are. It does not matter.
An organization has a mind of its own. In fact, I’d argue an organization has a “life” of its own. Just like individuals, organizations have inertia, or habits, to keep doing things the way they are.
In New York, I’ve seen reflective vests put on the dashboards of cars, some horribly parked. The idea is if you can show you’re a fellow police officer, you won’t get a parking ticket.
In Overland Park, Kansas, I personally know of a ticket where someone got “reckless driving” while standing on the side of a road with a broke down car. The police appeared more than five minutes after the car stopped at the side of the road.
A young woman moved to a new neighborhood in a new state and this neighbor, a police officer, called her by her full first, middle, and last name And told her to “be careful” as she walked out of the house to walk her dog. She insists she never used her middle name anywhere in person and the police officer most likely ran her license or something.
Unless we are willing to disband and ban all current members of the police force from being a part of a new police, I don’t see how this study makes any sense.
