ShotSpotter Gone?

Seems a procedural move by Conhead's ally will effectively shut the system down on 22 September:

  • It looks like the ShotSpotter system will be taken offline in Chicago before proponents of the gunshot detection system can make a last attempt to save it.

    Rules Committee Chair Michelle Harris (8th) made certain of it on Friday by placing on Monday’s agenda an ordinance giving Chicago Police Supt. Larry Snelling the power to extend the existing ShotSpotter deal or enter into a new contract for similar technology.

    Ald. David Moore (17th) had hoped to use a parliamentary maneuver at next week’s City Council meeting to force a vote on that ordinance, which has languished in the Rules Committee, where legislation often is sent to die.

A lot of inside baseball political stuff in the article, but essentially, aldercreature Moore had the 34 votes necessary to temporarily stop Conehead's cancellation, but aldercommunist Harris implemented a  little used rule to circumvent this maneuver and will therefore delay the ordinance hearing by a couple weeks, meaning the switch will be thrown and ShotSpotter will be off on the 22nd.

Is this the last word? Probably not, but moving forward, who knows if ShotSpotter even wants to work with the city or the police department? People will die seeing as how ShotSpotter was herlping send cops to crime scenes that the neighborhood hadn't even bothered to call about. Can't wait to see who gets the blame for those.

UPDATE: The Tribune (paywall article) had an editorial about the necessity of keeping ShotSpotter active. Late to the game again.

So, shotspotter directing police to crime scenes is somehow raysiss. But, black men killing black men by the hundreds every single year while the politicians do nothing is not raysiss. (Unless they want to blame my guns locked in my safe that never go into the city.)

Isn't it absurd that in a supposed democracy that the will of the people can be subverted by rarely used "parliamentary rule"? When did transition from a City Council to a parliament?

$hi+head mayor wants that money for the ghetto voters, those votes won’t buy themselves. You’d think in this time of budget catastrophe, ending a program would put money back into the city coffers, not with dumbocRATs.

Who gives a shit? Longer response times will hopefully save the taxpayer on medical bills for these heathens.

Out of curiosity, who approves the increases in the number of the police security detail? 150+ with shortages in patrol?

So there will be less crime reporting. Without the reporting crime numbers go down.

Even the University of Chicago crime lab did research and concluded ShotSpotter saves lives

Sadly, with the elimination of shotspotter slower response times will result by police and CFD personnel and will bring more deaths.

That’s just perfect, better put in a good supply of body bags ! The ghetto streets will be running red with blood as there are left lying in the street ! Ain’t no one gonna be calling 911 in the hood ! Remember snitches get stitches ! The blue gummed, camel tooth, ignoramus,CTU puppet, and the entire progressive socialist democrats don’t give a flying fuck about you, or your families safety ! BJ got 200 police officers on his security detail which is larger then some police districts to protect his sorry fucking ass !

Let’s hope so,get those shot spotter watchers back in a beat car. Let the folks call 911. Many wont call if they see it’s a gang banger shot. One less problem in the hood.

Here's a question:
Once SS is gone, will gunfire increase because Dude Inc knows there's less chance of it causing a response or am I giving them too much credit for keeping up with the news?

That's good news, f$%k the ghetto, more dead bangers. Also we need more popo's out there, too many healthy popo's sitting on their a$$ and calling other working popo's for st@$id shit like gambling or selling candy in the hood. If it was 20 plus years back we be having the time of our lives out there snatching bodies. And take theses stinking body cameras also while they're at it. The way this world is going, it wont be too long when most of us left are gonna be huntin wabbits in suits in their bunker holes looking for justice. F@#NG DEMOCRATS.

Brandon finally said it “shotspotter leads to over policing of the black community”. He didn’t say that the “ black community” is responsible for 85% of the crime and murders in Chicago he’s got the “fake news” in his pocket and he knows that if there is no reporting there is the feeling that there is no crime and everyone is safe. Say “ No to democrats this November”

If cancelling it means not having to find as many shot up mutts splayed out in some alley, I’m all in.
