> So you're saying that more police presence is harming people. How? Ask the disproportionate number of Black men in prison. Ask white rapist Brock Turner why a white judge wanted to let off "because he's a good boy", or the Central Park Five or the Georgetown Jacket Three that spent decades in prison because white cops and prosecutors assumed their guilt based on the color of their skin. If my posts sounds aggressive, it's because your posts are dismissive of the terrible culture that's led to the biased data that would be used to make predictions, and you have the gall to claim it's all fine and dandy. > current hysteria There is no hysteria going on right now, it's a quite reasonable response to decades of bad decision making on the part of police departments across the U.S.

You moved from police presence to sending innocents to prison... That's quite a step. Predictive policing is nothing more than police presence. If police arrests innocents and the justice system sends them to prison that's quite another issue. On the whole I suspect that the number of innocents sent to prison is rather low. There's hysteria alright on 'racial issues' at the moment.

They show up at a police precinct and turn themselves in? > There's hysteria alright on 'racial issues' at the moment. Yeah, I'm sure the Civil Rights & Suffrage movements were just "hysteria" too right?
