Chicago PD predictive policing program led to man being shot twice
In 2013, the Chicago Police Department's predictive policing algorithm placed Robert McDaniel on a 'heat list' as a potential shooter or shooting victim. Police visited McDaniel and warned him they would be watching him. McDaniel, who had no violent history, was later shot twice. The algorithm's prediction became a self-fulfilling prophecy, according to the article.
