“Instead of spending limited tax dollars on technology that maintains the status quo, we would be better served by investing our resources on developing a new model of community safety and crime prevention, one that works with community members, crime prevention experts and at-risk groups and individuals, to ensure that everyone in our city feels protected and safe.” Read the piece
Only opinion columns and editorials are scored. Each piece is read twice by a language model, which records the author's own stance on a policy topic only where the piece argues one, with a quote that must appear in the piece. An author's position on a topic is the average of their pieces, weighted by the model's confidence. News reporting is listed but never scored.
