Yeah, yet the Taser company spends a lot of money fighting the claims that their non-lethal weapon kill people, you know each time a cop kill someone using them. But to be honest, Cops only need knees to kill people.

The DC BLM chapter has said as much. Mayor Bowser's most recent budget increases MPD spending by $19 million. It makes liberals feel good to see a slogan painted on 16th street, but until the mayor follows up with concrete action it's just pablum. I'm not holding my breath.

She has, though. Pretty sure that's a concrete street.

DC has it's own police force and they are bastards and under the purview of the mayor. If the mayor does anything less then using the metro police to protect the protestors from federal deathsquads she is complacent and this is 100% performative meaningless redmeat for liberals. gently caress her, gently caress the police, gently caress this distraction and gently caress you for defending it.

I'm totally convinced both american liberalism and american conservatism are exactly the same in terms of a foundational white supremacy that underlines both. the white viewpoint is the only valid one and non-white viewpoints don't exist because nonwhite (especially black) people are weird nonhuman entities that are fundamentally capital-O Others. If you're a liberal these others have no agency or independence and don't really do anything besides be a passive receptacle for abuse and oppression, and it's your job to infantilize and protect them and Uphold Their Voices (tm) in a way that doesn't do anything except redound to your status as a good ally and good liberal. with conservatives it's much more straightforward because then you just see these Others as demoniac engines of destruction that you (and your surrogates, the police) have to dismantle and repress. In either view nonwhite people are fundamentally incomprehensible, if you admit they have any kind of internal self at all, which I think explains the perspective of both the cops and of the lib "allies"

anyway bbl I have to go blast some thick ropes in the name of racial justice

That’s good news, but the article does point out their work in the field hasn’t been very profitable. Can’t help but wonder how much of this is posturing to obfuscate that.

Yeah, I could see this as being entirely about getting some good publicity out of something economically sensible, as well as possibly hampering the growth of a rival who might be having more success. When I looked at the URL I assumed it was because they were switching to gait recognition though, and knew people would think dropping face recognition meant no mass surveillance.
