This is the algorithm LAPD and other departments use to predict and produce crimes.

Quote taken from Carceral Capitalism by Jackie Wang.

"In police departments that use PredPol, officers are given printouts of jurisdiction maps that are covered with red square boxes that indicate where crime is supposed to occur throughout the day... The Box is a kind of temporary crime zone... What is the attitude or mentality of the officers who are patrolling one of the boxes? When they enter one of the boxes, do they expect to stumble upon a crime taking place? How might expectations of finding crime influence what the officers actually find? Will people who pass through these temporary crime zones while they are being patrolled by officers automatically be perceived as suspicious? Could merely passing through one of these red boxes constitute probable cause?"

The evidence of institutionalized racism being accelerated by technology in the New Jim Code is suggesting people have new oppressors and they are code writers
"In Northeast Jackson, Nancy Palmer has been without water since Feb. 16. The 82-year-old lives in an apartment in a senior citizens home + uses a walker. Her sister had water, but Palmer couldn’t use her shower cause she needs handrails to avoid falling. So, to bathe + flush the toilet, Palmer paid the man who drives her to + from doctor’s appointments to bring her water every other day.

“I spent like $160 on water to flush my commodes. That’s what we had to bathe with, to brush our teeth. We had to buy bottled water for that. You couldn’t get gallons, just the bottles in the case.”

She bathed in the sink, using the cold water to wash her hair + body. Friday, her toilets began filling up with water. By Monday, she “had a little more than a trickle,” enough to fill a pot + boil it for dish washing. She’s still bathing in the sink."

The family deserves this money and more, but this changes nothing in terms of the balance of power between police departments and the Black communities they terrorize nationwide. Don't let up. #BLM #FuckDerekChauvin
