Quote:Rep. Rashida Tlaib's (D-MI) profanity-laced start to her congressional career continued on Twitter on Tuesday. But instead of swearing at President Trump, this time she cursed at the Detroit Police Department. In her trite message, she told the police to get rid of their facial recognition tactics, and shared a Vice News story about Sen. Bernie Sanders being the first 2020 Democratic presidential candidate to endorse a nationwide ban of the practice.

.@detroitpolice You should probably rethink this whole facial recognition bulls**t.https://t.co/ZvHEEQxzWB

Some of the criticisms of facial recognition software is that has been found to misgender transgender and non-binary individuals, make false-positive matches for people of color, and not account for the way that young people’s faces change over time, according to the Vice report. Three U.S. cities, Oakland, CA, San Francisco, CA, and Somerville, MA, have banned the use of it.

But, the Detroit police explained that in their hands the software is not abused. They implored Tlaib to come see for herself first before characterizing them as corrupt.

@RashidaTlaib Before you criticize the software, come to our Real Time Crime Center to see how we @detroitpolice responsibly use it in efforts to identify criminals involved in violent crimes. Let’s set a date. https://t.co/aR7DOjQe2a

After Tlaib visits, Police Chief James Craig suggested that Tlaib talk to victims who have benefitted from the software.

"Nobody ever talks about the victims in these cases," Craig said. "I would offer a word of caution to the congresswoman about using that kind of language in referring to technology that gives these grieving family members closure."

Tlaib's spokesman Denzel McCampbell said it was a "disingenuous" accusation to make against the congresswoman that she hadn't considered the victims.

Craig also noted that he and Tlaib were at the same ceremony on Sunday to name a Detroit street after former boxing manager Emmanuel Stewart. The police chief finds it "interesting that she never mentioned her concerns when she was face to face."

No twitter points to be gained by addressing an issue with the person who can actually make a change.

She would be the first one advocating facial recognition for NRA members.

She is a cancer

That's being kind...

Cancer is born from within. Tlaib is better described as a parasite, an invader from the outside. I understand where she was born and educated, but this is what happens when assimilation is not a goal for immigrants. And the net result is an entitled, bitter, and America-hating woman, with Congressional power, that has no loyalty or affiliation with American values.

I hope she gets primaried, and I hope the soapbox she now holds is shoved straight up her Palestinian-loving arse.

All one needs to know about the objections to this software is to look at the places it is banned.
