We (, , and myself) found that gunshot detection technology greatly increases officers' workload in response to firearm shootings, both in the number of shootings they respond to and their total amount of time responding.

Democrats have an absurd, denunciatory idea of what Republicans believe—and vice versa.
Worse, the institutions that are meant to remedy misperceptions, from universities to news outlets, may actually make them worse.

Sigh.
Privates are 8% of the prison population.
Private prison profits are abt $300M. Public sector wages are about $30-as-in-billion.
The problem isn’t a shadowy canal of private executives. It is us. And what we demand of the public sector in our name.

Real criminal justice reform means standing up to the prison industrial complex. When we are in the White House, we're going to end the disgraceful practice of profiteering from locking people up. No more private prisons and detention centers.
