Chicago leaders are the anti-white racists.

Black gunshots are protected!!

If they want to off themselves, have at it. Why send blues into a neighborhood they are not wanted in?

They’ve been trying to deploy the Shot Spotter system for (I think) a few decades now.

Code word for “it didn’t work , someone’s brother in law needs more money that came up with another scam”

I thought this was the Babbling Bee.

Hizzoner da Mayor seems to have gotten something right, for the wrong reasons.

[MileHi]

They argue that crime rates – not residents’ race – determine where the technology is deployed.

It just happens that it generally coincides with back neighborhoods.

[Lurker]

Chicago is dying.

Good.

They don’t want the shot spotter for the same reason that defense attorneys are now trying to suppress bodycam footage: it makes their groups out to be criminals. Which, of course they are.

because sound waves are systemically racist!!!!

[who_would_fardels_bear]

If a gun is shot and the mayor doesn’t hear it, was the gun really shot?

[JBW1949]

You ever notice the break-ins on security device commercials are always white?????

[lowbridge]

“Chicago will not renew its ShotSpotter contract and plans to stop using the controversial gunshot detection system later this year, Mayor Brandon Johnson’s office announced on Tuesday.”

Does this mean he’s going to wait until after the Democratic party convention to end it?

[rktman]

Huh? Only detects bipoc shooters?

Blacks commit more crime. Blacks need to fix their cultural problems, and not expect to not get arrested / charged / convicted / imprisoned more than whites.
