To Hell with #Police Reform, A new Computer Algorithm May Prevent Police Violence

By

Remember my post recently calling for #Police Reform that includes Rebranding and changing their Look? http://renaldocmckenzie.blogspot.com/2020/06/police-reform-must-include-rebranding.html  Well, we have yet to see that materialize. Instead while doing my daily news read I saw a tweet on @Twitter with the heading “Can a New Algorithm Prevent Police Brutality? Minneapolis Wants to Find Out”: 

https://www.thedailybeast.com/can-a-new-algorithm-prevent-police-brutality-after-george-floyd-minneapolis-wants-to-find-out


Absolutely Not, if what you’re thinking is to use some computer-based system to identify bad #cops. Algorithm to identify bad cops...LOL, like those dam “Lie Detectors” or Psychology Tests that people can cheat and beat and never accurate most of the time. People are either inherently good or bad and any person can be bad at any given time... Jesus knows that, that’s why he had to die so that we use his righteousness and not ours. What we need is for #cops to always wear body CAM. And for there to be an independent body that polices the police and for harsher penalties for police when they break or violate the laws. The #cops should not feel safe to racially profile blacks or to get away with violence or criminality in executing their duties to serve and protect. They should not feel that they can hide behind the law when they are lawless. So, MN don’t waste money with that stupid algorithm. And what about building on community and police relations in these communities through expanding community policing and creating a space for dialogue between police and community at the local and federal levels. We need a conversation and dialogue, as for right now there’s tensions between police and black neighborhoods. Deal with the hurt and the pain first and explore ways to heal before you talk about computers to fix a human issue that is deeply beyond the scope of an algorithm.

Zelenskyy: It’s Day 18. We Hold Key Positions. Close The Skies. We’re Going Through The Worst Odeal.

In summary, President Zelenskyy said: It’s day 18. We hold key defensive positions. Close the Ukrainian Airspace before it gets worse; Russian bombs have already neared NATO’s borders (within 20 miles).  Negotiations are actively underway between Russia and Ukraine and this has led to the more than 10 corridors that are opened today so that  over 5550 refugees were able to securely leave Kyiv, Kharkiv, Melitopol, Donbas and other regions safely except for Mariupol which remains blocked by Russian troops. They are working on getting that reopened. He visited the wounded and handed out medals today and spoke with several European leaders who assured continued support and shared concerns about the wider implications of Putin’s goals and Russia’s invasion is closing in on their (EU’s) borders. He ended by saying: We are going through the worst ordeal in our history and in our lives to protect the most precious thing we have. We must hold on. We must fight. And we will win...

Police Reform in #America Must include Rebranding the Police ...Change their “LOOK”

By
#PoliceReform Must also include rebranding the #PoliceForce; changing their anti friendly countenance, stance, color,  clothes and updating their car. Their “LOOK” needs to become more customer or #CommunityService Friendly. Moral Authority is a currency that has lost value for Law Enforcement and when a currency looses its value it must change, the state must intervene just as the Federal Reserve Bank intervenes to protect its monetary value of its currency in this case the state needs to constantly intervene in the currency of its law enforcement. But this has never been the case. #Democrats and #Republicans are all guilty of their indifference and soft approach to dealing with and restoring  the credibility of the police. States always seem to fail to act or are too slow to protect the integrity of its people and the currency of its police due to political and ideological differences that has nothing to do with building a strong #Policdforce for all people. A force that ser...

What is the “Ultimate” of All Things? By Renaldo McKenzie

By
What is the ultimate of all things? That we become one with reality and with humanity in all of our individuality. A man said “Once you label me, you negate me” (Kierkegaard). I ndeed,  culture of categories, groups and labels minimize, mitigate and or manage change.  Change is not possible when the people are divided. This “Divide” put people against each other. So that, those in “Power” can remain... panning to their “divide” in effect forming a shield of defense that protect their resolve against those on the other side of the “divide”.  Thereby, solidifying their Power and perpetuating the issues that bind and create strife. Indeed, Power uses whatever tools available to it to get what it wants and to maintain, at the unsuspecting “laymen” who are tricked in putting their membership in a group over their membersip of humanity; and shouldn’t this be a crime to put our group over the whole. For isn’t it the ultimate of all things that we are “One” so that none is above ...
