Newsday
has an "exclusive" in today's print edition [the Newsday website has
a paywall and lots of flash player apps that crash browsers; this
link is safer.]: "New Way to
Fight Crime," "LI Cops credit data-driven approach as key to historic
drop."
Seems
that the police in Nassau County and Suffolk County are using a statistical
technique known as "predictive analysis" as an aid in their police
work, and are quite pleased with the results.
So is this Long Island resident.
I applaud the law enforcement agencies in their very honorable
achievements, and would be pleased to no end to see crime drop even further.
But,
pray tell, what happens if the "predictive analysis" techniques cause
the law enforcement officers to focus upon individuals who belong to social and
ethnic groups which the liberals have labeled as downtrodden and disadvantaged,
and which have accordingly been adopted by the liberals as surrogate victims
for whom their hearts can hemorrhage a few pints of blood? Wouldn't the liberals call it
"profiling?"
How
soon will a lawsuit be brought against the police in Nassau and/or Suffolk
County, alleging that the same techniques now showcased and lauded by Newsday
actually constitute "profiling?"
And how will Newsday, with its decidedly leftist slant on the news,
slant that story?
Just
wondering.
