Concerns over AI surveillance in schools are intensifying after armed officers swarmed a 16-year-old student outside Kenwood High School in Baltimore when an AI gun detection system falsely flagged a Doritos bag as a firearm.
Allen was handcuffed at gunpoint. Police later showed him the AI-captured image that triggered the alert. The crumpled Doritos bag in his pocket had been mistaken for a gun.
Sometimes, unlike the movies, they do drop dead, instantly. Watching a shooting video is worse than Hollywood because people often fall like a cut puppet, no drama, don’t even fall over, straight down, horrific. The first cowboy movies depicted taking a bullet like that but audiences didn’t think it was realistic. 🤷🏻
Then there’s the kid that shot a YouTuber bullying him at the mall. Hit the big kid in the gut with a .380 (probably) at point blank range, dude just walked off, wasn’t even dripping.
As always, ballistics are weird and it “just depends”. But if a man with a 9mm, at point blank range, has the drop on you, think you could take the bullet, continue pulling a pistol out of your pocket and into action? As that man continues pumping bullets into you (as cops are trained to do)?
Again, I practice and I could not clear my concealed holster before that cop was hitting me. Aside from being stupidly unsafe, I won’t carry without a proper holster because I can’t get even my smallest guns out of my jeans in a hurry.
And no, I’m not going off Hollywood. I have dozens of guns, shoot 2-3 times a week at my own range, using a wide variety of weapons. I learn much from GunTubers, test for myself.
Sometimes. Not usually. Nor is it something a police officer is or should stake their life on.
Can and do, all the time. (Assuming you mean the royal you).
How many times have you tested being shot?
