He sat there saying the president was lying then said cops don't shoot a higher percentage of blacks or 5 times more unarmed blacks than whites. Wrong! His whole premise was ignorance of the facts so sad.

So smart ass admits it was done on a "small group of participants" then insits its a valid "study". Once asked if this survey has been done in high crime area vs non-violent (read white areas) libby bald head retreats once again.

To account for this possibility, Fryer analyzed encounters with police in which the suspect was arrested on a charge that indicates a potentially dangerous situation. He analyzed arrests in which officers accused the suspect of one of the following charges:
Aggravated assault on a peace officer
Attempted capital murder of a peace officer
Resisting arrest
Evading arrest
Interfering in an arrest
About 58 percent of such arrests involved black suspects, while about 12 percent of these arrests involved non-black, non-Hispanic suspects. Those statistics are pretty similar to the statistics from the officer-involved shootings. So, while it?s true that more than half of police shootings involved a black suspect ? from the perspective of the Houston police, more than half of the dangerous situations they encountered also involved black suspects.
