That's a pattern/data point/statistic, for sure, but I'd happily assert it supports my point effectively.
- pandaman 3mo ago>when it's dark, black and white motorists commit similar levels of traffic offenses The article you linked does not support this claim. It says the proportion of blacks stopped is less in the dark around 7pm.
- ceejayoz 3mo agoRead more closely, especially the bit about how they used daylight savings as a control, as it suddenly changes the written time of the incident but not the actual darkness levels at that time.
- pandaman 3mo agoCan you just quote the part of the article that says something to the effect of "when it's dark, black and white motorists commit similar levels of traffic offenses"?
- throwawaypath 3mo agoYou're not going to get a response because the study has been debunked and wasn't able to support your claim. Even this study showed that Black motorists commit more traffic offenses than White motorists at night.
- pandaman 3mo agoI figured as much.
- akimbostrawman 3mo ago>motorists Nice niche cherry pick too bad there isn't even a mention of "same amount of crime" if you just look at average crime rates by race, logic would tell you why that might be the case, in the same way men are WAY more likely to be pulled over than women.
