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