Lol, from that very article:

> Specifically, in New York City, in encounters where white and black citizens were matched for other characteristics, they found that:

> Cops were…

> 17 percent more likely to go hands on black suspects

> 18 percent more likely to push them into a wall

> 16 percent more likely to put them in handcuffs (in a situation in which they aren’t arrested)

> 18 percent more likely to push them to the ground

> 25 percent more likely to use pepper spray or a baton

> 19 percent more likely to draw their guns

> 24 percent more likely to point a gun at them.

For what it’s worth to anyone who finds themselves reading this for whatever reason; the author of the above comment changed their original post from a snarky “have you?” To its current form after my reply.

In my opinion that is not the behavior of someone who is trying to have a good faith discussion.
