This provides evidence that the shooter bias is robust against context variations.
Feb 1, 2023 · Some studies with police officers observed shooter biases in reaction times. In a seminal study by Correll et al. (2007), police officers displayed a shooter bias in reaction times, responding more slowly to White targets holding guns and more slowly to Black targets holding harmless objects.

shooting. A robust shooter bias literature could provide insights into why an officer violated procedure or behaved recklessly or negligently, but the key decisions—whetherprocedure was vio-lated, whether the officer was reckless or negligent—cannot be informed by shooter bias research.
