Roland Fryer, a Harvard Economics Professor, published a study that didn’t find evidence of racial bias when it came to police shootings. His study did find that Blacks and Hispanics were more likely to be manhandled, beat, or subject to nonlethal force when compared to other races. However, when it came to police shootings, Blacks and Hispanics were less likely to be shot than Whites. Fryer received pushback from some of his colleagues, including an urging to not publish his study.<\/p>\n

When Fryer claimed the data showed “no racial differences in officer-involved shootings,” he said, “all hell broke loose,” and his life was upended.<\/p>\n

Fryer received the first of many complaints and threats four minutes after publication.<\/p>\n

“You’re full of s–t,” the sender said.<\/p>\n

Fryer said people quickly “lost their minds” and some of his colleagues refused to believe the results after months of asking him not to print the data.<\/p>\n

“I had colleagues take me to the side and say, ‘Don’t publish this. You’ll ruin your career,'” Fryer revealed.<\/p>\n

The world-renowned economist knew from comments by faculty that he was likely to garner backlash. Fryer admitted that he anticipated the results of the study would be different and would confirm suspicions of racial bias against minorities. When the results found no racial bias, Fryer hired eight new assistants and redid the study. The data came back the same.<\/p>\n

After the report was published, Fryer lived under police protection for over a month. He had a seven-day-old daughter at the time and went shopping for diapers.<\/p>\n

“I was going to the grocery store to get diapers with the armed guard. It was crazy. It was really, truly crazy,” he said.<\/p>\n

Fryer, who became the youngest tenured Black professor at Harvard at age 30, was suspended for two years from the university in 2019 after he allegedly engaged in “unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature. He continues to deny the allegations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
