Notes from the Resistance
St. Louis Board of Aldermen begin hearing on police technology [More]

“ShotSpotter”… good grief.

What else would we expect from a Bloomberg city, which makes this all the more difficult to explain…

ShotSpotter technology sends NYPD after false alarms 87% of the time, report finds [More]
All that and it’s racist, too? 13% seems kind of coincidental…
I wonder if Giffords will feel any blowback from their affiliation with a former promoter…?

Residents criticize SLMPD for 13-minute response to shooting [More]
Why did it even need to be called in, with ShotSpotter on the job…?
It’s also fair to ask what personal choices Precious Jones, who “started the Breaking Generational Poverty Foundation in hopes of stopping gun violence,” and her family could have made differently over the years.

So, if we’re to believe Markey, Warren, and Pressley, MAIG cities are using racist technology to over police and violate Black and Latino civil rights. [More]
When leftist priorities collide…
However, this week saw a particularly confusing moment when, after calling the anti-crime program ShotSpotter “racist,” Johnson asked the company to extend its contract beyond the upcoming Democratic National Convention. [More]
But he seemed so adamant…
I wonder what “per$uaded” a change of heart to break a campaign pledge and extend racism… ?
Forget it, Jale. It’s Chi-Town.

Mayor Brandon Johnson announced Tuesday that he won’t renew the city’s controversial contract with ShotSpotter, making good on a key campaign promise to do away with the gunshot detection system that has come under heavy fire for allegedly being overly costly and ineffective. [More]

Cities with the Biggest Homicide Rate Problems [More]

The FOX 8 I-Team has found a high-tech system aimed at getting guns off the streets almost never leads to an arrest. We investigated since Cleveland City Hall spent millions of dollars to alert police to gunfire more quickly. [More]
They needed a whole “team” to figure that out…?
Good rule of thumb: When David Chipman pushes sh!+, it’s probably bull sh!+.
Even with “rebranding.”
Cleveland: At least we’re not Detroit.
Bay Area crime tech firm ShotSpotter rebrands as stock tanks with new Chicago mayor [More]
