It wasn't mistaken identity. They've designed the system to criminalize every single black person. Wait until they make robot cops ... they'll shoot us down as 'excess population'

bs on the racial disparities argument

Fault tech or to much tax payer money

I wonder how accurate the Chinese FRS is. They are more homogeneous than America.

Was there not a human in the loop? No one thought an interview was appropriate?

Oh look, a bitchy black woman trying too hard in her glasses. How original.

You can't tell for sure at all Because nothing is visible That's why we permanently wrong Because a truth & lie so squeezable They coming always side by side Depending on each other Once you just said another lie Truth is declining lies' marasm...

Love how the LA cops got a hardon for “high end consignment purses” (FFS!) and generated an interstate arrest warrant, resulting in an innocent mans arrest. Nobody else got this from the article? Think LA cops need a fucking hobby.

So just improve it.

I can see a “it’s not racist because the AI did it” timeline appearing here

Starting 2023 with more MSM race baiting

Well that's it's - this technology should be shut down.

attorney says and factual are not synonymous

Created racist software & technology...smh

Everything is racist , next it will be the sun the air the sea all racist

The police can not be trusted.
