Findings show how news reports use repeated category formulation ‘police shooting of a Black man’ to imply police are culpable for engaging in racist shootings and upgrade culpability of officers through adding to racial categorization of victims in ways that foreground victims’ moral character.

It's a published article so it's peer reviewed, which means that other it's passed the test of having been criticised by other reputable scientists in the field. So the default is to believe it (especially if it isn't your area of science) unless you're capable of genuinely criticising it... which you're not.

I think that you aren't even a scientist, and you are talking about some "attack on science" because I guess you think that is the name of your tribe now. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you don't even know how science works, and that you clicked that link and thought that what you read was the entire work, when in fact it was an abstract (a summary).

I'll take all research in reputable, peer-reviewed journals seriously, whether it is about race or not, because that is science. I'm capable of criticising some of it as a scientist myself, so I don't accept everything, but if it's in an area I'm not an authority in (such as this one) and I can't criticise it then yes... I of course take it seriously.

Ironically, you are the one attacking peer-reviewed literature without reason, so it seems you are the one leading this "attack on science".
