Black Harvard professor harassed and threatened by leftwing jackboot thugs for publishing a study which found that black people in Houston were 24% less likely to be shot at by police than white people.
The science didn't fit their narrative, and that makes leftists angry.

Harvard professor says ‘all hell broke loose’ when his study found no racial bias in police shootings
Harvard professor said that "all hell broke loose" and he was forced to go out in public with armed security after he published a study that found no evidence of racial bias in police shootings.

During a sit-down conversation with Bari Weiss of The Free Press, Harvard Economics Professor Roland Fryer discussed the fallout from a 2016 study he published on racial bias in Houston policing.

The study found that police were more than twice as likely to manhandle, beat or use some other kind of nonfatal force against blacks. However, the data also determined that officers were 23.8 percent less likely to shoot at blacks than they were to shoot at whites.
When Fryer claimed the data showed "no racial differences in officer-involved shootings," he said, "all hell broke loose," and his life was upended.
Fryer received the threats four minutes after publication.

Fryer said people quickly "lost their minds" and some of his colleagues refused to believe the results after months of asking him not to print the data.

The world-renowned economist knew from comments by faculty that he was likely to garner backlash. Fryer admitted that he anticipated the results of the study would be different and would confirm suspicions of racial bias against minorities. When the results found no racial bias, Fryer hired eight new assistants and redid the study. The data came back the same.

After the report was published, Fryer lived under police protection for over a month.
