Gizmodo reached out to Amazon about the incident and did n’t receive an immediate answer , though I suspect the company ’s not complaining too much about the incident ; after all , this police interposition did drum up a mountain of free press for its Emmy frontrunner in the last week of the safari season . Plus , it distracts from the other piece of Amazon news show go viral today : the company ’s 100 per centum human and not at all creepy “ FC Ambassador ” story .
