Tlaib: Use only blacks as Detroit’s facial recognition analysts

Taking squad member Rashida Tlaib's logic a bit further, does that mean that only Asians can perform certain tasks? Or whites?

Detroit's police chief, James Craig, who is black, doesn't agree with the Squad member's view on facial recognition analyst hiring.

From the Detroit News:

U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib told Detroit police Chief James Craig he should employ only black people on the department’s facial recognition team because “non-African Americans think African Americans all look the same.”

The Detroit Democrat made the statement during a tour of the Real Time Crime center, where monitors display live footage from video cameras on traffic lights and in and around businesses.

A day after Tlaib made the comment Monday, her spokesman said she was trying to convey the importance of accurately identifying black suspects in a city with an African American population of about 80%.

Police officials invited Tlaib to the facility inside Public Safety Headquarters to see how Detroit uses facial recognition software, after she criticized the technology in an Aug. 20 tweet. The congresswoman wrote: "@detroitpolice You should probably rethink this whole facial recognition bull----."
