tv Watching the Hawks RT June 12, 2019 12:30pm-1:01pm EDT
12:30 pm
well the world watching the hawks i am i robot and i'm definitely in the system and i just recognize that when i traveled recently about a month ago i drove all the overseas. and i remember having that so you have the terror somewhere out there hackers can find the terrible picture of me after 12 hours of. flying from. the but for those of like your 12 hour flight and superficial recognition doesn't quite come through i mean like i want to give. my my and away the angriest but i'm traveling but it brings a bit of you know you know you have a certain amount of understanding and we all understand that our our phone that when we travel when we go through ports of entry that these things are going to be taken and we know governments will get them we know we enter into another country if i go to greece if i go to spain if i go you know to the united kingdom that my information my picture or my identifying information is going to be stored somewhere that they're going to keep track of it however i think there's an
12:31 pm
understanding that. that isn't a good thing to do that it isn't the safest but even if you trust governments which as you said maybe not so much you can't always trust these private groups but it's interesting that this came up because just not that long ago i think last week liberty and obviously group membership organization based in the united kingdom actually denounced the automatic facial recognition they're calling it arsenic in the water supply of democracy mean so the guardian editorial board recently wrote on this issue it may be too late to stop the collection of this data but the law must ensure that it is stored and refined and weighs so harm the innocent and as liberty warns slowly poison our public. words of the garden guardian editorial board on years of being only a very small amount of people so anybody saying we know the full extent of breach as a reporter telling you that is probably rod the only people who really know the full
12:32 pm
scope of the breach are customs and border patrol and they're not going to tell us . the. contractor who probably will get a 10 year contract with the us government for this and the hacker group so i think there's there's a lot to base that but people are saying they don't like it this new generation of millennialism want a purpose on line in order to make sure their faces and you see that quite a bit and. to me facial recognition is like a shortcut it's like a cheat sheet it's like oh ok we don't want to do our job we don't really want to have to look at each figure we don't really want to have to do the homework on who is good and who's bad i leave it up there that we were going to investigate right you want to do things like that was so much work and money we can cut corners and make a computer do the job because they always get it right which they are actually like the technology. of amazon's face recognition software which i was pushing hard to get the government to use by the american civil liberties union found that it. 28
12:33 pm
members of congress as you know that's a little like they took but there is all the pictures a car and no these were the known criminals is going to say it's about it's congress. 400 are mostly known criminals but what was really screwed up about this is not only must identify the toy. those 20 members. were a majority of the congressional black caucus and they were disproportionately represented by 5 and so you can see that and that's one of the problem is that you have things that aren't necessarily created to be racist they are recesses in their function and they're you know in the in what they are i believe see that a lot yeah and i think the thing that people have to remember is that we can't get like just because you use your i phone well that's q. you know you do facial recognition but i don't have to say i think it's the government really there's a danger with that at the end of the day. well. you
12:34 pm
know on to another other thing that's a problem as it's called the environmental context asport and though you may have heard it referred to as the adversity score it's being implemented into the s.a.t. test system this colossal assessment test or s.a.t.'s mounts that would use new data collection and application tools in order to identify students who have performed better and their neighborhood should have allowed them to how do you determine who isn't supposed to succeed well 1st census data of course so here you have the environmental context dashboard it helps a c.t. administrators supposedly by 1st separating relevant data into 3 categories 1st the s.a.t. scores in context of either the 25th 50th or 75th percentile of their own high school 2nd would be information on the high school like class size or participation in advanced placement courses and 3rd contextual data on the neighborhood
12:35 pm
environment and school high school environment so. the student score is then based on the number of census related factors 2 to be specific census track one looks at the neighborhood it measures comprised income family structure housing education and census track true which has a lot of the same questions but specifically for the high school that the person went to those 2 census tracks will now affect a student's s.a.t.'s scores and cluing include and include with their neighborhood and high school the median family income percentage of all high house schools and poverty in the area percentage of families that are single parent families with children rent as a percentage of income percentage of adults with agriculture or non professional jobs and your probability of becoming a victim of a crying and while this new attempt to make the s.a.t. system less problematic we have to ask if that's even possible it's a test that was created by an avowed white supremacist who spent most of his career
12:36 pm
attempting to prove that white people were better than everyone else at everything which is probably why research just gave showing that standardized tests like the s.a.t.'s are not an indicator of how successful a student will be in college so hoc watchers is it fair for a test to judge the future buyer zip code. lou dobbs and that's all for the way they describe it i'm sorry it was very very 984 when you really do that is like oh well you were born in this area so we need to wait the test because of where you were born your actual performance of the test but the test itself is a mess now i will admit. i was the person who never actually took an essay to see her and it's not because i didn't go to college see anyone can do this i like to point out that me as at this table there is one person who doesn't have to worry about 6 stare and wound. up if you are smarter than me because you took
12:37 pm
the usa to test and went to college but what is the safety for folks that don't really like or like me who never took it right so it's one of q usually a c.t. or s.a.t.'s the like us it's caustic assessment laughing aptitude originally but it's a multiple choice pencil and paper fill in the circles task that's given and then i go through sort of your major things that you should learn through high school and i test your ability to do that so science comprehension reading that kind of stuff next is measured by a private nonprofit group called the college board there is an actual board of colleges they are not part of that there is no company that does that so the purpose is to really is supposed to be to give an idea of where our high school student is and how their readiness for college so you kind of have this common data point for all all colleges to look at all applicants so by the numbers it's like can you do this can you do that but tell me if i'm wrong but you know that kind of
12:38 pm
like i mean i get ok each person has their individual score but there's so many factors that play a role in how you take a test like even what i was in his you know you to like what happened that morning what happened that week what's going on that it's impossible to judge if somebody is ready for college about based on like water to us that supposedly all of your grades in high school well that's a better barometer of this and was initially the fact that they were removed and yeah right like what's interesting is that when you take away the idea of s a t's you actually get more diversity in college who i magine. in one study from bates college test optional schools in korea where they didn't increase their role and up under represented by more minorities by the average of $6.00 to $18.00 per. it's a big job which me tells me that another study of a 1000000 students 2 thirds of test optional college is attractive in rolled more diverse applicants which means that the usa today is like you said it's weeding out those folks that i guess don't look like me. yeah and here's the thing so like i
12:39 pm
said the guy who created this 100 percent and while he later in his life was like no reason is bad it doesn't change the fact that he put into an entire system and place that ended up really being dysfunctional for a lot of kids whether you're a woman whether you're poor i mean it the way it describes people the things that does it's weird but i think we have to tell the associate dean for equity and justice at the university of pittsburgh who wrote a really great piece on this in the conversation. said students of color with the least advantage in terms of wealth don't need saviors they need a more just society and i say i like that it's the same problem i have like an athletics where there is this idea of here's your ladies team at the golf or isn't that great you don't know you feel all equal and stuff because we know you can't do this it's oh you're poor or no you your daddy wasn't around you're this you don't have this perfect out bringing that we think in the suburbs should give you all the
12:40 pm
choice a all these opportunities and my choice to make those schools better don't give someone an extra credit because they came from our world or a neighborhood or an urban or a neighborhood thing that you work to actually fix the problem defend america better schools. all right as we go to break cork watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics of coverage facebook you tube or twitter shows at our t.v. dot com coming up author and editor at large for salon dot com the walk and joins us to discuss the do scandal involving law enforcement officers and their rather violent and racist posts on social media for stage 2 to watch in the hall. live.
12:42 pm
oh. please. explain. and very well might continue watching us in such. recent high level controversy surrounding you tube clearly demonstrates the online universe and freedom of speech are not on the same page the plot from says he wants to ban extremism it's probably fair to say most would agree on this the problem is how you define this concept.
12:43 pm
here in the united states police officers have one of the hardest jobs in the country not only are they charged with keeping the peace but when doing their job correctly they must also remain be cool levelheaded unbiased figure and some of them are most difficult human interactions and experiences they are often the 1st ones there when we are acting out our worst which is why police officers should be held to a higher degree of accountability both on and off the job for their conduct and believes and that is exactly what the plainview project did by documenting the social media accounts of police officers launched by philadelphia lawyer emily baker white the project examine the accounts of about $2900.00 officers from 8 departments across the country and an additional $600.00 retired officers from those same departments and what they found was shocking for some but
12:44 pm
a sad truth for the rest of us roughly one in 5 of the current officers and 2 in 5 of the retired officers examined made public posts or comments displaying bias applauding violence scoffing at due process or using dehumanizing language the officers mocked mexicans women and black people celebrated the confederate flag and showed a man wearing a t. a scar in the crosshairs of a gun and joining us now to discuss the plainview project's discoveries is author speaker and editor at large for salon dot com the walk and thanks for joining us is great you guys for having me you've written document of a lot of this. between you know the black community in baltimore and the police source who are supposed to be there protecting and serving the. dude when you look at these social media poll post and these were in baltimore but a lot of it from cities around the st louis things like that. do they reflect the reality of the police the police officers that you've dealt with and observed in
12:45 pm
baltimore they've reflect the reality of the stats it's another thing for everyone to read when you when you look at this that is to say one in 3 black men born going to spend some type of time. inside of a prison cell or be incarcerated at some point you can't just say well black people are born to go to jail these are people that are here for whatever reason pushing for this agenda a lot of these people come from places where they don't have a lot in actions with black people or they were taught to not respect women but they don't have any interactions with latino people who they are called mexican but you know but but but they bring their bias with them on the job when a police and you see the person you see the results of the stats you know it's pretty incredible when you look at those yeah and it's very sad about women as well because we're just this also showed this real propensity for violence toward women and that that to me answers a lot of questions of why the police don't do anything when that happens why
12:46 pm
they're just now have to make rules that you're not allowed please have certain all apps you rape women and their police car it's a culture of fragile masculinity and. toxic masculinity and bravado busy is goes hand in hand with being a police officer you have to be the biggest you have to be dipped office you have to talk the most stress you have to be able to be this authoritative figure even if it's not in your makeup even if you never would be authority of anything the life you go to a job where you train for 6 months and they give you a badge and a gun and the power to take away someone's freedom but take someone's life so that the culture you know didn't wear that. that we have to be better at who they're recruiting who they're learning and i mean it seems i don't know if there is a psychological task but i seem to remember a whole bunch of movies in the eighty's that people couldn't get to be police officers because they couldn't pass the psych exam now it seems like everybody's parent of a sink is what it should be more than an exam it should be a one time thing and this is like you know you never heard me advocating for police
12:47 pm
officers that is the 1st time if everybody got back i will say it is not true i when you grow up in the streets and you see you deal with a lot of death and a lot of murder you see a lot and it's not strange for me to say that a lot of my friends that. are traumatized. well you a police officer like you said in an intro you the 1st person pulling up when the lot of these people are dead or you see gunfire you see it makes things happen that comes with trauma too you know how you want to give a person one example when they start let them have 2030 year career i've seen a trauma every day and you know most of them want to marry away so it's a 2 way street like we all need to figure out different ways of dealing with this stuff not just us but them as well you know it's interesting because when you go through and you look at all these i mean you had you know one guy right now it's a good day for a chokehold you know i mean like it was ridiculous was that ok that's what i said you know that would be ok if you said it was a good day for a joke over you when your best friend right was not in the instance i really want
12:48 pm
it on and probably any time you say anything if someone did say something on line about cops they probably be arrested for threatening police officers or putting you know it's like there is there's definitely a double standard most definitely i mean look at you got what's interesting is philadelphia phoenix and st louis of all announced that they're in but you know because of this site which you see on the screen now which you can like go through it look at what all these people philadelphia phoenix say most of all now investigations are happening well other jurisdictions featured in the database dallas texas 20 falls idaho lake county florida have remained silent nothing's gone forward with that why do you believe there is such a disconnect when it comes to accountability. holding police accountable and should we hold police officers were called before what they say online and this is a big question if they're saying it off duty or if they were tired at this point should we be holding them accountable for what they say a lie you know if they ever tell you. you know i'm not going to speak off duty
12:49 pm
because if you do do you still like you're going to get out of that he said i got a badge so you still have a power you still have the power to take someone's freedom take someone's life but what i will say about. those retired police officers or pretty much our police officers in general is you know i don't want you to be held accountable in a way where you know we see you said it you lose a vacation day or something like that and you get a chance to go back to work i want you to understand why it's wrong how do we get to that point how do we get people to see that when you say certain things about a woman when you post certain things about a woman it is wrong when you say something wrong about a person based on every so ethnic group and you think it's a joke that you put to find that it is wrong with same way you should feel about a person you know being a victim of a choko that you don't know in the neighborhood you patrol is the same way you should feel about somebody put a chokehold on your mom or your son or someone close to you or someone criticizing the police does what if you know that's what it is exactly what it's like you know
12:50 pm
i've seen please you know my daughter safe the moment you start calling them names and it's kind of like hey guys you can't have it both ways. they're like. yeah because they don't believe they're not that there's no empathy and police work and so they have 200 i'll say there's no such thing and i think. it's a trick question the church was to think rationally so right now when we think about motive when anything happens usually the police the news media especially they'll use a citizen social media to sort of make a point identify suspects look for a bout of olive oil here she is with. down with the patriarchy so that's why she hates men and that's why she did this or something like or you know here's somebody who was pro whatever they had a blue lives matter black lies matter simon this is this is all coming together. looking for motives and evidence to crimes regardless of any sort of civil liberty
12:51 pm
embley cations of it should citizens like those behind the scenes plainview project be allowed to do the same with government officials and law enforcement agencies so why should we be able to go in there and hold them accountable when the rest of us most of our jobs most jobs now require that you you know remember that you work for that company and social media you can lose your job you can be in trouble at your school you could do any number of things do you think we should start holding politicians and elected officials and public servants like police officers more accountable for these things should there be stricter rules either don't have one at all. or watch what you say mind your mind your p's and q's. it's crazy because i kind of want them to have them so we can just know how do you really think that you don't hi but i give you one and i do think that it should be used against certain situations happen it should be used against them you don't have many. video. clips with
12:52 pm
a guy was waving guns on social media so we need to lock them up when a guy was talking about some of the drugs on social media so this is how we got a lot about black people on social media and this is why we know he doesn't deserve to be employed like on the like you said earlier one way. is not a fan thing it is interesting in this kind of social media culture that this is even become an issue because i think you kind of alluded to it do that's a big one is that we wouldn't know this about these people had we not had social media we would know the officer such and such feels this way about latino people or we wouldn't know that on one hand it's great on the other hand i guess the devil's advocate would be like well do we want that many people picking and do what i spend simply be our private lives but we say behind closed doors i'm trying to figure out what that argument would be like or do you mean like social media bangers us like screaming in the middle of the town square so everybody can.
12:53 pm
only live just in connecticut there was a police officer on his social media follow him going to the neighborhood has a little black kids and i'm a little african brothers and sisters i love them so much as they. walk down the street. and punch it because it's what i think about when i'm saying this is the little black kid this is what you look like you know what i mean so you know you really love these people or you just arising and protect them it's another it's another layer of accountability that i think i really i'm happy that we're seeing people compile these things so that we can better hold people accountable for their action. a lot because at the end of the day that is a reflection of the people who are trusted with protecting their community and if you if you don't if they're saying met online and i was not i wouldn't trust them or for any i was killed the cops caught a lot of police officers a robot of the city all of the various isn't a little baseball all of it and i'm just looking at it like wow this is should be
12:54 pm

12:59 pm
paradise with some around turned into a round the experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would that the chemical company workers themselves be geared up and suited up locals attempt to combat. the on regulated experiments that often in day you have many of these people where one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power.
