- Image of the abstract. It reads, In the United States, police are becoming increasingly militarized. Whereas the racialized nature of police militarization has been documented, the relationship between racial prejudice and police militarization is less understood. We assessed the link between racial prejudice against Black and Native Americans and police militarization at individual and regional levels. Study 1 (N = 765) recruited a nationally representative sample of White Americans and found a positive association between racial prejudice and support for police militarization. Study 2 (N = 3,129,343) sourced regional aggregates of prejudice among White Americans from Project Implicit and policing data from the Defense Logistics Agency and found that police departments in states higher in prejudice acquired greater amounts of militarized equipment. Together, these studies demonstrate that, in terms of attitudes and policies, racial prejudice predicts police militarization. (remote)
- Data from survey showing consistent positive associations between racial prejudice of Black people and Native Americans and support for police militarization (remote)
- A map of the US showing states with most police militarization. California and Texas are the highest. Georgia, South Caroline, Tennessee also appear relatively high (remote)
- Scatterplot of the state-level association between explicit bias against Black people and police militarization in the state. The effect is positive, but does not appear to be very strong. (remote)

New approach to consuming Twitter. Every time I get to a tweet in my timeline about the platform itself or its megalomaniac owner I close the site. Works really well.

The point, if it isn'tly bleedingly obvious, of putting up with Big Co B.S. isn't to make your retirement 20% cushier, it's to make humanity 20% better off.
Yes, one of these is harder than the other. Get to work.
