Some folks should take a tour of this as a reminder.

LouisHt64 Giving up freedom for security! Yeah, books, films and great thinkers have pondered in this. No thanks. I’ll take gun control and education for the people who have it with them at work. t(ツ)_/¯

When the tech hubs are banning it, you might want to think about why? 🤔

It's like don't catch criminals we don't want that

I think I prefer the first techno to come out of Detroit, you know, the non racist type... maybe we should have stopped there.

You couldn’t just say it’s unreliable. No, it’s TECHNO-RACISM

Police attacking black folks! We need body cameras now!!! No more racism!!! .......... Next Week.......... Police are using cameras to attack black folks!!! No more racist cameras!!!

'people of colour and women' . Your own words! 😂

You can do this when people have guns. If people hv no guns, you definitely cannot do this. This is just like What Happens in Xinjiang, which people's freedom is Extremely Suppressed by CCP!

If it’s being used to take dangerous individuals off the street, why is it a bad thing? Law abiding have nothing to hide and should be grateful that the authorities are working hard to keep everyone safe from harm!

Despite recognizing only 13% of faces the A.I. was able to catch 50% of violent criminals.
