Reuters Director of Data Science Fired After Reporting Accurate Statistics on Police Shootings and Race
Reuters director of data science was recently fired for reporting accurately on police shootings and race in America.
Zac Kriegman was fired for reporting on facts and not the frantic flawed opinions of today’s media.
For this sin, he was let go from Reuters.
Until recently, I was a director of data science at Thomson Reuters, one of the biggest news organizations in the world. It was my job, among other things, to sift through reams of numbers and figure out what they meant.
About a year ago, I stumbled on a really big story. It was about black Americans being gunned down across the country and the ways in which we report on that violence. We had been talking nonstop about race and police brutality, and I thought: This is a story that could save lives. This is a story that has to be told.
I had been following the academic research on BLM for years (for example, here, here, here and here), and I had come to the conclusion that the claim upon which the whole movement rested—that police more readily shoot black people—was false.
The data was unequivocal. It showed that, if anything, police were slightly less likely to use lethal force against black suspects than white ones.
