| | + | In October, 2019, Tlaib told police chief to only use black facial recognition analysts.<ref>[https://nypost.com/2019/10/03/rashida-tlaib-tells-police-chief-to-only-use-black-facial-recognition-analysts/ Rashida Tlaib tells police chief to only use black facial recognition analysts] Kenneth Garger, NYPost, October 3, 2019. |
| | + | <blockquote> |
| | + | Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib left Detroit’s police chief outraged and insulted after a tour of his department’s new video surveillance facility — by telling him he should only hire black employees to be facial recognition analysts, a report said. |
| | + | |
| | + | “I think non-African Americans think African Americans all look the same,” the freshman congresswoman told the city’s top cop, James Craig, during a tour of the department’s Public Safety Headquarters, the Detroit News reported. |
| | + | |
| | + | “Analysts need to be African American, not people that are not,” she insisted during the tour, which was open to the press and which left several officials outraged. |
| | + | |
| | + | Craig protested immediately, telling Tlaib that he trusts “people who are trained, regardless of race, regardless of gender.” |
| | + | |
| | + | Afterward, he told the News, “It’s insulting. We have a diverse group of crime analysts, and what she said — that non-whites should not work in that capacity because they think all black people look alike — is a slap in the face to all the men and women in the crime center.” |

| | + | #RacistRashida doubles down on her racist statements! How can someone say this about African Americans and not get called out by political hip hop heavyweights like @TalibKweli @Tip and fellow reps like @RepCummings. #DoubleStandard https://t.co/eAVvXLb8Nv [https://twitter.com/TheLeftIsScared/status/1179820773520891904?s=20 Oct 3, 2019]</ref> |
