No nono  yare AI falls on its face 

                                   Human beings must be in control of themselves not submit to dictates of machinery

How do you figure?

Simple Youll arrive at it as I say it 

                                      You insist AI coud vetweed out racists white supremacists bigots National Christians from police departments the military  Christ even government

Yes.

So why isnt AI employed to deviseutilitse such tests 

   Because if it did . . we couldn’t find enough good people to fill the ranks, serve. 

BINGO 

          Particularly police  To serve and protect

he and his mother-in-law jawed

they were often at odds

she was a FOX News Republican

Christ FOX  Nothing but propaganda   Crap Maw

she was also very religious called tithes she provided church bills  payments

Tryin to buy your way into Heaven

No.  fixed him with an earnest Japanese look  seppuku serious

Awright 

she fell New Years Day on her laminate foyer banged up her hips elbow shoulderslapped her face  got a black eye

bruised but didnt break 

Jesus Maw  Please be careful

Japanese people have strong bones.

Thickskulled 

Japanese people have strong bones.

one elite SCORPION unit loved lovedloved clever cops  was being facetious  an acronymCHRIST  Street Crimes Operation to Restore Peace in Our Neighborhoods  got to be a bitter pill to swallow 

   Tyre Nichols

he didnt watch the beating video Mr Nichols family released

hed rather watch people fuck than violence against each other                                                                                                                               Comon man Memphis sits virtually on the corner of Tennessee Arkansas Mississippi OHJOY

So what are you saying?

Last time you were in those states

Ive never been.

Visiting any time soon

Unlikely.

Rest my case Five Memphis black officers were involvedhave been charged

Yes. What’s your issue?

Don call black officers elite Could go to their headsobviously went to their heads Cops tend to think themselves above the lawtheyre party to the state represent the state Shit like tha can go to ones head

So why not call them elite?

For the very reason Mr Nichols is dead Call someone elite theyll buy into it 

                                                                              Lemme ask you You were a teacher If the School Board called you an elite teacher woud you buy into tha or woudya push backwoudya push back yare just doing your job 

Maybe yare the wrong person to ask I woudif anyone dare label me elite while I was working Id be in their face like white on rice  unless I was wild or brown rice  DON NEED NO LABELS  Just doing my fuckin job

You think elite may have gone to the officers heads?

   Something did 

                  Lemme put it this way One doesnt have to call white police officers elite Whether they are or not they believe they are Calling white officers elite is redundant

You got a fucked up way at looking at things.

No not necessarily 

                    More than a thousand people over each of the last three years have been shot to death by police  Excluded are beatings or people who commit suicide while in police custody

The state the police kill people execute people extrajudicially I mean outside being arrested charged tried by their peers 

Thas fucked up

his friends friends complained bitterly to him that his texts were awful werent cogent  they lacked continuity were littered with misspellings and used acronyms they werent familiar with  thought he was being clever  

he nodded as his friend explained

You agree?

You write shitty texts

Shitty.

Yes and for all the reason theyre complaining about I follow

You don’t complain. 

   Maybe Im more patient

                           You have to admit I rivet you with question after question Ya have a habit shooting from the hip which makes them uncoordinated fail linearly   

How do you mean?

Its possible they don wanna take the time to contend try an read decipher them You fail to give them how to say   critical  not critical thas not the word tha is a word however  Im lookin for another   Not clinical though easily a descriptor too  but not the word Im looking forFACK 

                                                      Temporarily Ill say critical other word uses many of the same letters

Ill come up with it 

Your texts are stilteddifficult difficult to comprehend Theyre supposed to be easy an excuse me for saying  Whayave told me  They tend towards gossip

We don’t gossip.

Ya do  Ya talkbout other people behind their backs

   They probably talk behind ours.

he rolled his eyes You don know tha shook his head I gotta spring Wittgenstein on you again

You best . . I never remember.

No ya don  Whereof one cannot speak thereof one must be silent 

                                                                   Ya don so shaddup

AH  Intricate

Intricate?

Yes the word Your texts arent intricatelack intricacy critical wording  background 

                                                                                       Knew Id remember 

Suppose Im saying compose your texts  Quit with shooting from the hip ya know wha yare talking about they don  Preface them provide grounding

friend shook his head dismally 

   Lemme guess 

                    Ya don wanna work tha hard

No not really.

Then quit texting them Save up for face to face gossip
