An AI security system at a high school mistakenly flagged a harmless Doritos bag as a weapon – with serious consequences. A large police presence responded, and officers drew their guns on a student.

Plain & simple... police brutality... unreasonable use of force. There is no excuse for so-called "professionals"... with an extremely deadly firearm... to be this super careless and reckless. Law enforcement should go on-site with their visuals, instincts, ect. not relying on a super flawed hallucinations' systems.

These rogue people needs to immediately go on unpaid leave... until a full investigation has been completed on these rogue people involved; to the government system that has completely failed that community.

There should be some firing from this nonsense... just for starts.

Yup, this one is on police. They have a systemic 'verification' problem. 8 squad cars rolled in and no one bothered to verify if the threat is still present. There are at least two officers per car. One could make a call on the radio to verify the threat. The uni likely informed the police that it was a false positive if I am reading the article correctly.
Internet is rife stories where police role up to the wrong address. They could create new policies to mandate verification. But then they could not claim 'human error' as easily. If a set of 4 eyes needs to check the info then it is harder to later say 'oops'.
