>A city fire marshal used FDNY’s access to a facial recognition software to help NYPD detectives identify a pro-Palestinian protester at Columbia University, circumventing policies that tightly restrict the Police Department’s use of the technology.

Why does the fire department need access to run facial recognition?

Cause israel. The fire marshal probably is pro-israel or israel has dirt on him.

All because of a protest against a foreign country committing acts of genocide. It's unbelievable when you think about it.

Just because it was written does not make it true. Cops have come up with all sorts of excuses to justify their criminal behavior including just plain old “I’m a cop” defense.
