I Criticized BLM. Then I Was Fired.

TL;DR:

Now comes the story of Zac Kriegman, who, until not so long ago, was a director of data science at Thomson Reuters. Kriegmanโ€™s crime? Questioning the Black Lives Matter narrative. Kriegman is a person who loves numbers and statistics. As youโ€™ll read below, he didnโ€™t just voice an opinion to his colleagues. He made an argument after having done extensive research. He thought logic would win out. He was wrong.

black Americans account for 37 percent of those who murder police officers, and 34 percent of the unarmed suspects killed by police. Meanwhile, whites make up 42.7 percent of cop killers and 42 percent of the unarmed suspects shot by policeโ€”meaning whites are killed by police at a 7 percent higher rate than blacks

I'd fire him too if he brought this dumb butt logic up to me...he's a data scientist.

He did this actually better than his job. Since if there are like 10% black population and they kill 35% cops than their cops KDA is way better than white people
