Recognizing and acknowledging that police perpetrate violence—and that this violence disproportionately affects Black and brown Americans—is a first step toward change in policy, budgets, and community safety decisionmaking.

Understanding the violence happening in communities is the first step toward reducing it.

The workers of Haiti strike again. Today, in Port-au-Prince. They demand living wages from greedy transnational capitalists to make the clothes we love to wear here in the States.

Even as they carve out space for Black scholarship, established universities remain deeply complicit in racial capitalism. We must think beyond them.

Important institutions like

must confront their pro-police biases, and smart reporters like

@NeilMacFarquhar

must honestly and openly confront their own politics and biases. Many people's lives depend on it.

But the article by

gets worse. It cites a parade of police and paid police consultants to opine on the causes (all ---> more $$ for cops). This media practice has to stop: police officials and people who get paid by police are not the only "experts" on policing.

Last week, NYT published a major story that suggested falsely that police prevent murder and that one reason for increased murders during a global pandemic was civil rights criticism of police! The NYT did not disclose that the reporter was former CIA/Palantir/police/DA paid.

wasn't saying our research isn't rigorous/weighted but rather was encouraging researchers to pause and be critical, and those resistant to that idea are exactly why research, even seemingly progressive research, can lead to harmful outcomes for marginalized pops

Research should strive for objectivity yet *hard science objectivity* is an illusion in human subjects research, particularly in Criminal Justice, which is an inherently value-laden/socially constructed field. In social science research, objectivity means maximizing transparency

Objectivity is acknowledging personal biases/discussing actions to mitigate biases/acknowledging impact of research context on outcomes. Research w/o critical reflection is dangerous. Both qual+quant research is guided by researchers' interests/beliefs. We must acknowledge that
