Recently we published a report showing that officer race did not predict the race of a civilian shot and, additionally, there was no evidence of anti-Black racial disparities among those fatally shot by police (Johnson, Tress, Burkel, Taylor, & Cesario, 2019). In response, Knox and Mummolo (2019) produced a critique of this work centering around two main issues: (1) The informational value of the analysis by Johnson et al. (2019); (2) The misleading nature of the quantity calculated by Johnson et al. (2019). In what follows we address each of these points, arguing that point 1 is largely an issue of debate on which reasonable people will disagree, and showing that point 2 holds only for implausible states of the world, i.e., it is unlikely to apply in most cases given actual crime rates across different racial groups. Thus the original findings, as described in that manuscript, largely stand unchanged.
