Mistake? You can do everything right and still lose everthing. In probably every other country on earth, Laquon McDonald would have been neutralized long before 20 squad cars surrounded him in the streets. The officers would have been given a medal.

Most of those untested critics would crap their pants more often then president Potato Head if they had to face many of the situations cops have to face over the years.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
