Unsurprisingly "predictive policing" software fails to predict crimes but does reliably send cops into Black and brown neighborhoods.
So much of "policing tools" is a grift, it turns out. The data behind the non-lethality of tasers is suspect. The science behind accepted forensic science e.g. fingerprints is far from solid. Cops' claims about preventing or solving crimes are exaggerated. It's fakery all the way down.

@94f2a8e4@2a70c54d yeah. Calling humanity a virus is setting the stage for ecofascism. It's also supremely anti-indigenous since they continue to protect the planet's biodiversity even in the face of settler/colonialist violence.
