Do Not Resist Page #6

It's the way policing

is going towards right now.

On this matter of forecasting

criminal behavior,

among our set of individuals

who we're considering

to release from prison,

we have Darth Vaders

and Luke Skywalkers,

but we don't know which is which.

Anybody who has a hint of

Darth Vader characteristics,

we call them a Darth Vader.

In contrast,

to call somebody a Luke Skywalker,

that requires really compelling evidence

because we want to be really...

How do I say this in an effective way?

We really want to be sure

that we catch all the Darth Vaders

and we're prepared to make some mistakes

on the Luke Skywalkers.

I can't breathe!

I can't breathe!

I can't breathe!

I can't breathe!

I can't breathe!

I can't breathe!

I can't breathe!

I can't breathe!

I can't breathe!

We've done some work

with family-support services.

In essence, we're collecting

information on the parents.

Sometimes those parents have

no criminal record whatsoever,

but if we had information, for example,

about their drug histories,

about their educational circumstances,

about whether they're employed,

psychiatric problems,

all sorts of things,

we might be able to forecast

which kids are at risk

before they're born.

That'd be pretty neat.

We could also forecast

perhaps before they're born

whether they're a high risk to

commit a homicide by the age of 18.

I think that's all very doable

with the information that's out there.

My problem is, what do

you tell a mother?

The child has not been

born yet, and we say to her,

"Your kid has a 50/50 chance"

"of committing a homicide

by the age of 18."

I don't know what you do with that.

I don't know what she does with that.

With all technology,

we constantly are at

these decision points where

it can be used for good

or it can be used for bad.

This is just another example of that.

It's a little more scary because

it sort of fundamentally

goes to so much of the way

we live and the way our societies work.

Right now drones are

controlled by pilots,

but there's already technology in place

in which they're robotic

and make their own decisions.

And we now have drones

that can fly in formation.

And they can talk to one another.

And they can make

decisions about whether

to fire a Hellfire missile or not.

Who makes that decision?

The computer can make it more

quickly and more accurately

than you or I can.

So maybe we should let them decide?

Well, that's...

Now we're starting to move down

the Terminator route, right?

We have robotic intelligence

that can destroy human life

when it thinks it's an

appropriate thing to do.

Do you want to go there? I think it's

inevitable because those sorts of

war machines are going

to be more effective,

more powerful, more accurate

than what we currently now have.

I can't believe we're

not gonna go there.

I don't know how as humans

we're going to moderate

the bad things that

can follow from that.

But it's inevitable.

It's already sort of there.

Ever heard the old saying, "It's gotta

get worse before it gets better?"

Oh, it's gonna get worse, folks.

We are at war!

And you are the front-line

troops in this war!

And folks, I want you

to understand something.

When they come to murder the children,

the individuals who

tried to disarm our cops

will be hunted down,

and across the nation

they will be attacked,

they will be spit on,

they will be driven deep

into their slimy little holes,

so they never come out again.

In the very near future,

the idiots trying to disarm our cops...

Folks, there ain't

nobody in Mexico right now

complaining about

militarization of police.

You understand?

There ain't nobody in Russia

complaining about

militarization of police.

In the very near future,

you will be vindicated.

The bad news,

the wolf is at the door,

very bad times are coming.

Good news?

You have job security, yeah,

because the world desperately

needs what you have to give.
