Abolition is the way. But while we do have cops, they must be held to a standard of transparency.

This isn’t happening. They’re hurting/killing people and doing other nefarious things. After covering their badges.

Kyle McDonald wrote an app that reveals the identify of LAPD cops. It’s not doxxing. It just puts a name with a face. Which is actually how it’s supposed to work.

Turning facial-recognition software on the cops

===

A new site, FuckLAPD.com, is using public records and facial recognition technology to allow anyone to identify police officers in Los Angeles they have a picture of. The tool, made by artist Kyle McDonald, is designed to help people identify cops who may otherwise try to conceal their identity, such as covering their badge or serial number.

“We deserve to know who is shooting us in the face even when they have their badge covered up,” McDonald told me when I asked if the site was made in response to police violence during the LA protests against ICE that started earlier this month. “fucklapd.com is a response to the violence of the LAPD during the recent protests against the horrific ICE raids. And more broadly—the failure of the LAPD to accomplish anything useful with over $2B in funding each year.”
