Garien Gatewood, deputy mayor of community safety: " I believe that to truly create safety in all communities, we need to take a 'both/and' approach: moving upstream to address the root causes of violence and implement proven prevention strategies, while at the same time working to address multigenerational acute and systemic traumas that affect individuals and communities."
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.
A proven preventive strategy is to keep gun shooting thugs locked up.
