What's Your SSL?

Oh wait, this isn't the Strategic Subject List. It's just something that bears close attention:
  • In two Loop office buildings about eight blocks apart, a pair of University of Chicago research teams are analyzing big data to answer a thorny question that has become especially charged in recent months: Will a police officer have an adverse interaction with a citizen?

    The team from the university's Crime Lab is in the first stages of working with the Chicago Police Department to build a predictive data program to improve the department's Early Intervention System, which is designed to determine if an officer is likely to engage in aggressive, improper conduct with a civilian.

    The other team, part of U. of C.'s Center for Data Science & Public Policy, is expected to launch a data-driven pilot of an Early Intervention System with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department in North Carolina by the end of the summer. The center is working on similar efforts with the Los Angeles County sheriff's office and the Nashville and Knoxville police departments in Tennessee.
All of your interactions have been reduced to a cipher, a number, and that number will determine how the Department handles you, even absent any sort of concrete evidence.

They tried this years ago, and if we recall the number of clouted names on the "naughty" list scared the bosses so badly, they canned the program. You can't have the anointed ones stepping in shit - or being predicted to step in shit. That might short-circuit a lot of careers.

Keep an eye on this. The eggheads that came up with the SSL thing manage to hit a few homeruns....every-so-often - but if we had a list of 1,500 names with no oversight, we'd be in the Hall of Fame, too.

They need to include a large sample of citizens. Compare what a regular joe would do in the face of terrifying danger. This computer driven bullshit has no place in police work.

In this age of algorithms we all have many scores .
Using those scores we are put on lists.
anyone getting concerned yet ?

Be interesting to know where the seven fired officers ranked on the list.
Bet they were nowhere near the top, and mostly in the middle mass.

So much for predicting anything.

As a teacher, CPS has been the victim of questionable University of Chicago research. Hopefully U of C doesn't mess with CPD too badly, but no boss can resist anything coming from such a fancy institution even though they are a bunch of hacks.

Yeah, Ari et al made + 20 bil + $ putting Uber out as "way to make money" for pathetic people who saw no other way thanks to cut-your-throat economic policies -- and now they're moving to "driverless cabs" as fast as tech will allow them to get away with.

Fatalities "cost of doing business," will be paid out of Ari's pocket change.

Risley tried this in 1994 and the FOP filed a grievance and won. Risley's "Brainmaker" program went bye bye!

A citizens interaction with the police. I wake up an say to myself, "Boy I hope to meet a police officer today, wouldn't that be great?"
- Why weren't you here to stop these thugs from robbing me?
- Why did it take so long for you to get here, I called, like, 20 minutes ago?
- What do you mean, you're not going to call an ET for photos and to dust for fingerprints! My garage was just burglarized!
- "Yes ma'am, can you tell me what you saw, or describe the offenders?" Well, I don't know if I can say this, but they were two black teenagers.
- Sorry about the delay sir, we have only 12 cars working this entire district tonight. Yes sir, I know Alderman Tunney said he was getting you more officers, but he lied to you again sir.
- Me neither Miss. I don't know why they have so many bosses on this job or why so many officers working inside headquarters and stations.
- Yes ma'am, even John Wayne Gacy got traffic violations. Maybe I'm stopping you from becoming a serial killer!!!
And so on . . . and so on . . . and so on . . .

Despite the fancy and well researched list of at risk people, what are the options for the police? Talk to them, offer jobs or trade school? Visits by the merit exempt to change their ways? Maybe Father Flager could counsel them. Police cannot monitor their activity every day without violating their rights? Police cannot stop them with a ISR. If arrested they are released on I bond as cook county will not target minority members of the community. This is cook county. I cannot understand the purpose and benefit of this list? I wonder what is the racial breakdown of the list?

This will be like the time clocks for punching in and out. If it makes the clouted shit their drawers then it cant be good. Hell they could spend a lot less and hire me and I could tell them its the clouted who do whatever the fuck they want and get covered for, only to do it again.

I figuerd out the algorithm for survival as police officer on CPD. Here it is and very simple.

a = input('Wave to citizens: ');
b = input('Drive fast past citizen: ');
a = abs(a); Miminize interaction
b = abs(b); Go home safe

Univ of Chgo also published data that shows street shootings cost us taxpayers $2.5 billion in incarceration hospitalization, life long after care etc and this is on the shoulders of all taxpayers.

The brainiacks couldn't successfully tackel recidivism, so cause the police to not do their job and then there is no recidivism.
More grants for the brainiacks.

I'm not saying this is good, but anyone on this blog can point out two or three officers in each district that'll have a fresh log number within the next month. Hammer those that don't get it until they eventually change their behavior or are fired. You don't get log numbers for "working," you get them for treating people poorly and unconstitutionally.

If they are going to do this program why not do a concurrent review of "What characteristics must a civilian display to have an adverse interaction with police." Seems that the likelihood of a civilian reacting in a way to cause an "adverse interaction" is more likely than the police initiating an adverse interaction. Police are "law enforcement" so they usually would only have adverse interactions if the civilian is breaking or suspected of breaking the law and fails to comply with a lawful police request/order. The current generation of "jailhouse or street educated lawyers" (aka criminals) and their activist supporters don't seem to appreciate that compliance is probably the easiest way to "de-escalate" an interaction.

Bullshit. People are treated when they start acting crazy. When you don't play along they feel empowered and act crazier. Now they seek more and more escalation. Have you ever worked? I don't anymore. Don't worry, buddy, I got the message. Netflix all night it is. I don't want to treat violent criminals poorly or anything.

These U of C and NW hacks are total asocial, psychopathic morons who can't even control their own lives. They have never set foot in a classroom much less a police situation. They are total psychopathic baffoons with mommy, identity issues who get off on having power over educators and definitely the police. Their surveys and "research" are complete BS. Remember you can present data to say anything you want it to.

Stay safe!
