Summary and audio linked here.
Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

Just forget the AI study, ask any experienced cop , he can match the 90% accuracy.
So what?
Police can’t stop and frisk, they also can’t foot or car pursuit (without supervisory permission).
So what good is this information from Chicago Crime’s AI algorithm?
Proactive policing is no more.
Congratulations, activists and CJWs, you got your way.
The algorithm can’t miss, just pick anywhere any day, any time! Some SJWs from the math club cooked this one! Hmmmm………how much$$?
Beat cops don’t need the UofC to tell them this.
Plus, the cops already know who the thugs are.
On CWB, thugs are identified from surveillance photos all the time.
Jail the top 10,000 thugs for years and crime would instantly go down.
Then work on the next 10,0000 thugs.
There’s hundreds of thousands. Many crimes in the community just go unreported. Snitches get stitches, so you don’t report to the police when you get burglarized, held up or robbed.
And look how well “Skynet” turned out.
