New York's $75,000 robot police dog is condemned as racist because it only prowls minority communities https://video.dailymail.co.uk/preview/mol/2021/03/02/3591477675046621146/636x382_MP4_3591477675046621146.mp4The Democratic firebrand blasted the police department's four-legged 'Digidog' in a succession of Thursday tweets, two days after the cyber hound was filmed responding to a home invasion in her home borough of the Bronx. 'Shout out to everyone who fought against community advocates who demanded these resources go to investments like school counseling instead,' she wrote. 'Now robotic surveillance ground drones are being deployed for testing on low-income communities of color with under-resourced schools.' Ocasio-Cortez then argued that police funding that allows for new technology like the Digidog would have better served the community if it had been allotted to programs for education or housing.
