Talk:Shooting bias

Untitled

This page is horribly written with unproven statements that are passed off as fact. Beginning a sentence with "this is because" without adding any cited proof is mere conjecture that would not stand in an academic setting because it states a normative belief, not fact.

"Possibly the biggest change could be made by holding police officers accountable for their actions."

Since when is it the job of an encyclopedia to suggest how social problems might be solved? lol

This article is too subjective and most of the data is either straight up incorrect or changed to worsen view towards black people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.76.144.28 (talk) 19:43, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Stale Sources

The page heavily relies on and promotes the Guardian's "The Counted" database. However, that database hasn't been maintained since 2016. On the other hand, the Washington Post's police shooting database is current. (vr (talk) 19:06, 27 May 2020 (UTC))

Globalize

This is very U.S. focused in both the underlying assumption of the text and in the sources. This either needs to reflect a worldwide discussion, or a rewrite to make it explicit that page is focused on the U.S. - Andrewaskew (talk) 05:20, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Not sure what this is doing here; blog references are not authoritative. (vr (talk) 19:06, 27 May 2020 (UTC))
