From iGeek
Zac Kriegman did an investigation of BLM data, and documented the fraud, so was fired for the temerity to tell the truth.

Zac Kriegman is former Director of Data Science for Reuters who was fired after he challenged some of the assumptions behind the claims made by Black Lives Matter proponents. Like all good Journalists, when accusations are made, get the facts and see where they lead. Zac did that, and they lead to facts that couldn't be refuted, so he had to be fired to keep from considering them.
Facts[edit | edit source]
- The studies showed that, if anything, police were slightly less likely to use lethal force against black suspects than white ones. [1]
- Whites are killed more often than blacks in police encounters, but the media gives all the attention to blacks killed, misleading the gullible and fomenting anger/frustration. [2]
- When a BLM supporting Harvard Economist, who grew up black and poor, tried to do a study that supported BLM, he found they were less likely to be shot. So after publishing it was suspended from Harvard over dubious allegations of sexual harassment. [3]
- Each year, about 10,000 blacks are killed by other blacks. 18 unarmed blacks were killed by cops (most of them justified). Compared to 26 unarmed whites. BLM and Democrats and their media focus on the 18, which can only increase the 10,000.
- Zac shared those facts in an internal forum for discussing data they were presenting. Had his post taken down, was warned that posting those facts would harm his career/advancement. But he had it approved/sanitized by DIE (Diversity, Inclusion, Equity folks).
- He was attacked by many white Marxists who support BLM, and accused him of "Whitesplaining" a problem, by quoting black researcher's data, and no one was able to refute the facts presented. H.R took down the post, and threatened him with firing if he discussed the abuse and lack of support by H.R. that he had received.
That's what the left wants for every business they are involved in: dishonesty, bullying, and elimination of any intellectual threats to their agenda.
