I don't trust the BBC's facial recognition software, because I don't trust that kind of software to be as accurate as it claims (and you can watch a bodycam of an innocent dude going to jail because of those 99.7% matches). However in this case, not only doesn't look like him, he literally falls down in the same way when shoved to the ground. And just to be clear: spitting is Battery on an LEO, and breaking that tail light is criminal damage to property. So, he's actually a perpetual criminal. If the Left were honest (which they are incapable of being), they would be saying he's engaging in Civil Disobedience, and even that is a stretch. He should have been arrested.

And also please note that the gun is holstered over his right butt-cheek (it should be in the small of his back). This actually pushes me closer to the idea that he was trying to draw his gun on the cops. A moment before he was shot in the original video, you can see him having already reached behind his back with his right hand and pulled out a black object. As I suspected, it's the empty holster.

I think he may have intended one of two things: he either pulled the holster thinking the gun was still there to fire on the officers, or pulled the holster thinking the gun was still there to toss the gun away. Either case, this may be, once again, another police shooting where the suspect get shot trying to ditch a gun.

99.7% match rate is god fucking awful when you consider there's billions of potential matches.

But in this case, the circumstances you mentioned, plus him doing the same shit here and when he was killed, plus in the same area, makes for a much better case for trusting the match.

Cue the idiot beat-cop going "yeah, it's a 100% match!" and doing no real further investigation into the dude's actual identity.

Agreed, if I showed this to somebody and said this was a video of the shooting from a different angle, 50% would probably buy it until they realized the gun never went off.

Oh, if they follow the las vegas cop, the AI is better than investigation. He found proper government certified identification, verified it with central records. And then concluded that even with everything perfectly in order he had to arrest him because maybe it's fraudulent and he has a mole altering the state's own records for him, because the AI is pretty cool and therefore can't be wrong.

My primary goal in life is teaching normies not to trust computers to the degree they put their faith in.

The truth is, most of what AI is involves conditioning people to appeal to authority. It's not a Machine God, it's The Wizard of Oz.
