'High-Tech?' Perhaps less effort should be expended on the process and substantially more effort given the actual causes.

#2 Our scientists discovered that there is a formative pattern that surrounds the brain- kids educated in liberal kinder through - well... kinder care. (K-12-15-20)

They spray the toilet with that poop stuff that makes it not smell and it surrounds their brain preventing anyone from smelling it.

Then they drop YOUR Grand kids into the toilet and the scenty oil surrounds them and then give them a trophy for learning how to be dumber than when they appeared from the Womb.

No one has to learn from anything at all, just follow the narrative.

Now they are no different than a raspberry PI with a redundant software program on it.

A Raspberry pi does not cost $67,000 to birth.
Nor does one require that much to go through college a year and learn no more than a raspberry pi.

#4 Cause of the crime surge?
Bad guys are bad.

#5 You have to be intelligent enough to ask the right question and ballsy enough not carry your pre-conceptions around.

#6 You cannot apply a technical solution to a social problem.

The problem is men with evil hearts. Until that problem is addressed, all the Strategic Decision Support Centres in the world won't help, even if you use the British spelling of center.

#7 Wow, all that tech and money means that CPD will be less late in stopping a crime. The kaboom marks the clock on investigating yet another shooting in neighborhoods where nobody saw anything. Just throwing money at the edges of gang violence so they look like they are doing something.

#8 Gun crime surge is due to the 2010 McDonald v. Chicago Supreme Court decision, of course. /s

#10 Crime surge is the Ferguson effect. Crime in Chicago is because of long standing liberal control of local government and the policies that go along with that.

#11 This should allow the cops to get there while the dead guy is still warm.

#12 So Illinois got tech instead of a budget?

#13 Tech is relatively less expensive. This one is a low-budget project. Most of the work has already been done by somebody else. It isn't as labor intensive. And per the article (you did read the article, right?) it's at the Chicago PD level. Doesn't require local politicians to get involved as much; it doesn't require state politicians at all.

#14 Doesn't require local politicians to get involved as much; it doesn't require state politicians at all

This is Illinois, and Chicago specifically, so they will anyway Pappy.

Gotta be some graft there somewhere.

#15 Maybe they shouldn't let gun criminals out early? Maybe they should charge offenders to the extent of the law? Maybe they should go after corruption in the city, county, and state government?
