“Is this the America we live in?” said one parent. “And it was this stupid, stupid technology that is just going through picking up random words and not looking at context.”
Not sure what’s worse here: how the police overreacted or that the software immediately contacts law enforcement, without letting teachers (n.b.: they are the professionals here, not the police) go through the positives first.
The idea behind the policy is to stop school shootings. If there were a legitimate threat of violence, you would likely want the police to be notified as soon as possible. The issue here is that the authorities are letting a piece of half-ass code (Read: AI) decide what is a legitimate threat and, worse still, acting on that determination without question.
They have literally sacrificed an essential freedom for some temporary, and probably illusory, security.
Knowing that Europe literally has a problem with its soccer audiences making monkey noises at black athletes makes this particular bit of condescension all the more ridiculous.
“Daily murder” is a sneaky rhetorical maneuver, considering it’s something influenced more by raw population size, than by capita. It’s easy for there to be a “daily murder” in a country of 340,000,000 people, even when the overwhelmingly vast majority of people do not murder.
Using “few” to trivialize/minimize the racism is no better.

You should try Europe once. It’s more fun than your 3rd world country.

Idiots and assholes exist everywhere. At least ours don’t have guns.
Yeah, they use knives instead.
This isn’t the flex you think it is.
Wasn’t intended to be. But evil people will find a way to do evil.
Yes, but one of those things is capable of a lot more damage in a much shorter amount of time.
You’ll also have a hard time knifing people from a window with a wide vantage point.
Knives are dangerous, and evil people will be evil. But should we just hand out rocket launchers on the side of the road because knives exist?
It’s an absurd suggestion, obviously. So is “knives exist so guns are fine.”
You keep putting words in my mouth so this conversation is over.
The knife homicide rate is literally higher in the US.
If you think I’m trying to say the US is better… by any measure LOL! -No. The US is a shithole.
My point is that if you take guns out of the equation they’ll just be replaced by something else.
My point is that your comment makes it sound like gun control would solve nothing. That patently isn’t the case.
Reddit moment: comparing a few racist idiots with daily murders.

Shame on you for this disingenuity.
Even when we go per capita the US stays a shithole, it’s not like they were trying to actively misinform people.
