The Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) has deployed SHOTPOINT®, Databuoy’s life-saving gunshot localization and detection system, to help reduce gun violence throughout the City of Philadelphia. [More]
So… how many lives has it saved, and how much “gun violence” has it reduced?
Or are we just talking about another boondoggle to reward favored lobbyists with tax plunder and make it look like the city fathers have a grip on things? Any bets on seeing a pronounced and attributable dip in the numbers, or will it work as well as the paid snitch program?
Another thing I can’t tell: Is the person who wrote this a “real reporter” or a PR flack, and what’s the difference, anyway?
And not to stir up trouble or anything, but with all the emphasis Philly puts on DEI, do these people look a little white to you?
Sounds like a Testing Ground, on a number of fronts.
Never mind the obvious.
