The Chicago Police Department is already seriously awful. Its reliance on software to decide who and where to police isn t making it any better. Predictive policing is only as good as the input data, and if the data is being input by police departments with long histories of biased policing, it s only going to generate algorithmic excuses for future biased policing.
Law enforcement officials call predictive policing a game changer. In reality, it appears to be little more than a way to ensure some people due to the area they live in or the people they know endure endless harassment by law enforcement officers. The ideal is cities being steadily scrubbed of crime by proactive officers. The reality is officers making multiple visits a month to certain homes to issue tickets for uncut grass.
Chicago’s predictive policing program told a man he would be involved with a shooting, but it couldn’t determine which side of the gun he would be on. Instead, it made him the victim of a violent crime.

The goal is to have as many as possible who qualify fully vaccinated before summer break.
Monday, clinics opened at the Cyprus, Cottonwood, and Connection high schools. Students who are 16 and older with parental consent are getting the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine.
