Part of the scientific process is being skeptical and considering cases and asking probing questions. He didn’t make a blog post that said “lol racial bias is fake.” He discusses it with respect to research on the matter.

It seems you don’t feel that’s an acceptable question to ask: is racial bias in police shooting real?

I’d call that a dangerous question to ask, and try to answer honestly, because it could get a person fired.

First objection: He has tenure. Getting fired is very hard when you have tenure. As a tenured professor you can scream for years that the sky is neon green and you'll be fine.

Secondly, he doesn't particularly discuss it with respect nor realism. However, let's assume for the sake of discussion that we have the same view on that.

What about the second and third ones?
