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/ …

Disgusting. Break up Google.

I don't use Google at all. We all need to stop using Google. There are many other search engines.

I missed your cries for racial justice after Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom were raped and slaughtered by black people.

It's pretty hideous what those mongrels did to them. If the races were reversed whole towns would have burned.
@google -
Also would have been open and shut a hate crime. Those blacks tortured those two people because they were white.

great. So what REAL actions are you going to take to prevent them in the future? To improve the lives of black people?
-
are you going to, I dunno, actually hire more black people as software developers? Management? Executives?
-
or will you just hold weekly vigils?

don't even start. You obviously haven't done any reading on implicit bias. Go do that and then come back
