Carter is more of a community organizer Obama wanna be. He thinks that Town Hall meetings and bullhorn rallies in the streets will stop the ever increasing number of shootings in St. Paul.
He's afraid that if shot spotter technology is used in St. Paul, we'd all see that the bad guys all look like the Mayor.
I seem to remember positive reports about it, or something like it, in East Palo Alto.

Cuz we can’t have proof of where the crime is worst.....
i don’t think he cares about stopping the shootings, I think he’s just wanting to give that money to his political supporters in the communities under the guise of “community enforcement”. Why waste the money on known technology when we can pay back voters with jobs and midnight basketball.
They had a trial up in Sacramento a year or two ago.
It works, no question.
But you need to cover the city in microphones every couple of miles. So cops put them where they know the most gun crime is.
NAACP and others take great offense at that.
Carter is so concerned about the increase of shootings in St. Paul but not so concerned about technology that may help police catch the bad guys.
Of course our intention was to talk them up and immediately get them to the nearest AA meeting... Just as our DI trained us to do...
Mr. Mayor is worried that all his voter base will be locked away and he won't be reelected.
