DOJ To Force Employees To Undergo ‘Implicit Bias’ Training Based On Shoddy Science

So, good news: now that the Department of Justice can’t find evidence that people are acting according to racial motivation, they’ll be delving into the unconscious of their employees. Reuters reports that “more than 33,000 federal agents and prosecutors will receive training aimed at preventing unconscious bias from influencing their law enforcement decisions, department officials told Reuters. [The] bias prevention plans [follow] a spate of shootings of unarmed black men by white police officers.”

Of course, there is no evidence that such shootings were driven by race – in fact, as Peter Moskos of John Jay College found, white suspects in violent confrontations with police are more likely to be shot by police than black suspects.
