Quote : | "In 1999, four NYPD officers fatally shot Amadou Diallo, a black immigrant from Guinea, when they mistook his wallet for a gun. In the officers' criminal trials, they asserted that anybody could have made this mistake and that race had nothing to do with their decision.
If you had been one of the NYPD officers involved in the shooting, ...could you honestly say that race played no role in the fact that you pulled the trigger?
Now you can find out.
The University of Chicago has created a simple and effective online psychological test. In just a few minutes, you will be presented with a series of photos of 100 white or black men who will be holding either guns or what appear to be wallets or phones. Using your keyboard, your goal is to shoot the armed men as quickly as possible and holster your gun for the others." |

the issue with amadou diallo was not that they shot him
it was that they shot him 19 times 10/29/2010 12:31:17 PM |

If cops shoot more than zero times, they will shoot at least a dozen times. In other words, once the decision, (right or wrong) is made to shoot, they all shoot repeatedly to kill. It's my understanding that this is "by the book."10/29/2010 12:50:21 PM |

Not sure how to even translate that. Looks like I was quicker to pull the trigger on an armed white and quicker to holster on an unarmed black. I blame latent white guilt. Of course it's a difference in fractions of a second, so likely you can't read anything into it at all.

I got bored with it pretty quickly. It's the whackest version of Lethal Enforcers that I've ever played.
Shouldn't you get points for shooting the ones with cell phones too? They could be trying to set off an IED. 10/29/2010 1:53:27 PM |

What can I conclude from this? It takes me less time to determine someone has a gun than to confirm that they do not. If I weren't sitting behind a computer screen and I felt my life was actually in danger, I might not be inclined to take that .05 extra seconds to figure out what the real answer was.10/29/2010 7:04:20 PM |
