He’ll fit right in with the administration, honestly. He probably already has a friend over in the Justice Department. Former FBI agent, Jared Wise, who was pardoned mid-trial for his crimes on Jan-6 is now a senior advisor over there. I bet there’s a bunch of Jan-6ers working all over this administration.

“You guys are disgusting,” Wise told the officers, as captured in the bodycam footage. “I’m former law enforcement. You’re disgusting. You are the Nazi. You are the Gestapo.”

Wise had served at the FBI from 2004 to 2017, where he worked on international counterterrorism and eventually became a supervisory special agent. By Jan. 6, 2021, according to later testimony, he was working as a consultant in Bend, Ore., and he traveled to Washington, D.C., to support Trump.

As he stood in front of the police line, he continued to berate the officers.

“Shame on you,” he yelled. “Shame on you. Shame on you.”

Violence erupted again, as rioters pushed against officers, knocking one to the ground, according to prosecutors.

“Kill 'em! Kill 'em!” Wise yelled, as he watched the skirmish. “Get 'em! Get 'em!”

There are FIVE lights CATS!

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.
