I wish we could eliminate worthless comments.
Of course, technically it is true.
But billions of decent human don't go around acting on that bias.
However, violently biased men and women in uniform with guns and alloted power need to be removed, arrested in uniform, and charged, jailed, for disgracing the profession.
- sneak 6y agoI think rather than saying “well, MOST people aren’t that racist”, we would do well to recognize that bias exists in everyone and simply build systems to detect when it affects job performance, proactively, rather than retroactively reacting to reporter/demonstrated bad behavior. Police in the US have failed to hold themselves to a higher standard, therefore a better system that understands that police officers are humans like anyone else (and likely to fail to be unbiased like anyone else) would be a welcome replacement. It’s absolutely going to happen, everything from microaggressions and profiling, all the way up to lynching (all of which we’ve seen in HD video many times in the last quarter). The current “just get rid of the bad ones” approach is plainly insufficient.
