Okay @google, the next step is action. What about suspending your hosted services (and Dropcam sales) to PDs under federal investigation?

(Why does Dropcam matter? It's part of Nest, Google/Alphabet's most troubled division. They direly need profits.)http://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/tony-fadell-nest-and-the-failure-of-a-middle-ground …

If one big way to boost a failing division at a publicly-traded company is to profit from police violence, that's a huge danger.

Do body cameras on cops have a positive effect? Any effect at all? It's complicated. http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/05/its-not-too-late-to-get-body-cameras-right/393257/ …pic.twitter.com/cBq9y8CLcY

Though some police departments have listed Dropcam for evaluation, one of their team says their products aren't wireless & wouldn't be used.
-
Assuming that's so, that's good news, and keeps Google's business goals from being in tension with their statements on police violence.

Next up: stronger direct pressure on police/municipalities, just as Google weighed in on other civil rights issues:http://fortune.com/2015/07/28/google-equality-act-lgbt/ …

what would that solve?
-
first, stops them profiting off of police violence. Second, stops cops in violent departments from collaborating w/ other PDs.
-
but if cams are meant to aid transparency...
-
I'm not convinced we have any evidence police body cams change anything about accountability.
-
It also doesn't get at the heart of the issue the PDs won't acknowledge, and that's their demonization of black people.
-
Cameras don't stop racism.

How about convincing black men to cooperate with the police and stop resisting arrest??
-
do you support increasing police killings of white people so it's proportional to their stats for resisting arrest?
-
that article doesn't mention resisting arrest, which whites do in far greater numbers. I'm against all police violence.

Why the hell should they suspend Dropcam sales? You want to break into their houses and hurt them or something?
-
no, I don't assault people, that's your thing.
-
Explain your post then. Seriously. That's a weird thing to say.
-
how about you go fuck yourself with your account created just to spew racist shit? Go fix epidemic white on white crime.
-
I don't care about black on black crime. It's all the black on white crime that is troubling. https://i.sli.mg/yyxDY3.png
