Inside 100 million police traffic stops: New evidence of racial bias

in suburban Minneapolis — all black men — most end without anyone getting hurt. Still, for drivers of color who are stopped by police, the suspicion that racial bias played a role can linger.

A"veil of darkness" test was done to analyze whether black drivers are being pulled over at a higher rate during the day than at night, when officers would have a harder time distinguishing race from a distance. After adjusting for the variation in sunset times across the year, researchers found a 5 to 10 percent drop in the share of stopped drivers after sunset who are black, suggesting black drivers are being racially profiled during the day.

While Pasco hadn't seen the latest Stanford study, he said racial-bias-related studies in general might not consider whether minorities do more driving in some areas compared to white drivers, and that police officers patrol higher-crime areas that also have larger minority populations, and therefore, more minority drivers.

In St. Paul, which employs more than 600 officers, numbers for traffic stops as well as 911 calls and traffic crashes are released each year. St. Paul police spokesman Steve Linders said the move is part of a directive that Police Chief Todd Axtell issued in 2016.

In addition we are more likely to be let go with a warning.

Duh...

You bring hatred into the message from the WH. You model hatred in everything you do. And for sure this is what you get. More hatred.

This is not news....

And they don’t cover the attitude some (Mostly White) officers take when you ask WHY, they feel so entitled that the invade your space and become belligerent. Nobody addresses this. Stanford ABC CBSNews CNN FoxNews MSNBC

It’s time for law enforcement to acknowledge, without blaming, that this is objectively true, and begin the ongoing and important work of mitigation. When there is inherent bias, the most important thing is to acknowledge and fix it, not afix blame.

Hence the saying.... Driving while black

So why don't you just come out and accuse the police of being racist we are so sick of the race card being thrown around and now the media is doing it too real nice

Time for change. Congress has FAILED on immigration!

You had to do research to find this out...

Did we need Stanford on this?! We could just listen to black and Latino people.

How about a headline that states they are stopped because they are doing wrong PERIOD!!! Skewed headline as usual.

They need more driving school?

Weekly reminder just in case anyone was getting less hostile towards law enforcement... there hasn’t been enough good cop killing lately.. so let’s stoke that rage again and watch them go. This time we’ll include Hispanics to the narrative to get them all fired up to. 🎉🎉🎉🔥💰

racehustling it’s election season ... let’s amplify race ~ Democrat Party

Hold on .... stop. Let’s try the ANTI POLICE angle again !

People of color have been telling us this for many years

Fomenting Hate!

But look at the criminal apprehensions that happen from these stops. It’s not a negative that a felon or wanted criminal is arrested because of a routine traffic stop.

If everybody took the police to court when stopped that would stop,their harassment,I love being in court.

In other news, water is wet.

FakeNews

These comments 😩😭

Great job on stating the obvious. You guys are so great 😑😒

Its a money thing, not a race thing. The Paycheck to paycheck life often can't afford car tags or fixing that burnt-out tail light etc, thus you get stopped more. california raised car registration to $500-$800+ a car and guess who that screwing. Thank the democrat politicans.

I’m so shocked! 🙄🙄🙄

This is America !!!

NBC has gave up on being a news channel. NBC's job now is divide you on race, religion, and gender because a nation divided is weak.

The sheriff in my county openly admits he does it and the people here love it.

I believe nothing from Stanford. Nothing.

They could have told you that and saved a lot of money on this research.

Yes, let's discuss crime stats. Please. Who IS committing all the crime?

this white privilege makes me sick. White supremacy is real and its sickening.

Racial discrimination is real and deniers are racists or racist sympathizers, as displayed in the comments below.

It didn’t take Stanford researchers or rocket scientists to figure this one out. Just check by zip codes.

Duh 🙄

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN DRMS ALLOW EVERYONE TO COME ACROSS THE BORDER AND GIVE THEM WHATEVER THEY WANT. RIGHT TO VOTE, DRIVERS LISCENCE.

Duh!

This is NOT SURPRISING one bit!!!

It took Stanford researchers to figure this out?

Yeah, thanks for that

Late arrival.

Racial bias or bias based on crime rates?

What proof!

Lmao how are still treating this like it's news?

😡

Inside the Sunrise Movement: How young climate activists put the Green New Deal on the mapThe Green New Deal has seemingly come out of the blue to become a litmus test for 2020 presidential hopefuls. But it didn't happen by accident. Alongside multiple members of Congress—notably Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey—a group of young activists has pushed the plan into the headlines, working behind the scenes to reshape America's approach to the climate crisis. Thank you to teachers as well. Without them they wouldn’t be aware or so empowered. If they follow AOC and her nutbag ideas, they will never be taken seriously.
