Citing anything Shaun King says about the police is a waste of time.

Some former North Star employees used terms including "liar and a fraud",
"really shady fucking business", and "self-sabotage" when describing their
dealings with North Star editor Shaun King.  "Shaun and the word ‘accountability’
should never appear in the same sentence",  former Editor-in-Chief Keisha Blain
wrote in a tweet after leaving the company. "So many people warned me about
him and I didn’t listen".

For the past several years, citizen journalists and activists have been diligently
documenting BLM efforts, largely without the support of mainstream media.
Rather than supporting those voices, King has instead established a history of
lifting content and stories. Numerous black women creators and writers have
had their content lifted by him, with no credit, and to his monetary benefit. He
consistently inserts himself as a justice middle man, preventing many from
directly supporting those they wish to.

In the years 2015 to 2019, King launched several efforts, all of which failed or
faded away without explanation including HopeMob, Justice That’s All, Justice
Together, Woke Folks, and a massive nationwide boycott campaign: Injustice
Boycott. Each of these efforts had substantial monetary investment from both
community and donors with questions that remain unanswered to this day.

King continues his history of using his platform, media access, and proximity to
influential people to silence those who publicly challenge his questionable actions.
