Internet users were baffled with the result they received after they asked Siri a rather controversial question.
Some have tried asking Apple’s virtual assistant, “Hey Siri, where are the terrorists?” and are sharing the unexpected reply, where Siri is shown to have recommended local police stations.
Political commentator Ryan Fournier has called the response “disgusting.”
“Siri thinks our cops are terrorists,” he tweeted after it recommended him to head to the Greensboro police department.
Apple hasn’t addressed the issue yet, despite many social media users demanding an explanation from the company. However, several Twitter users have claimed that Siri no longer shows the same result.
This is disgusting.

Hey @AppleSupport why when you ask Siri “where are the TERRORISTS” does it tell you where your local PD is?!

So if you ask Siri “where are the terrorists” it brings up all the police departments near you.
