Still Missing ShotSpotter

The ticker never stops moving up over at the CWB blog:

  • A man and a 19-year-old woman were shot on back-to-back nights in two Chicago neighborhoods where the city’s ShotSpotter gunfire detection network once operated—but in both cases, nobody called 911 to report the gunfire.

    Instead, a passerby found the man lying in the street, and a Chicago Fire Department ambulance crew discovered the woman bleeding from gunshot wounds. The 35-year-old man later died.

Still no movement that we've heard of regarding a replacement company or a rebidding of the previous contract. 

Anyone know if ShotSpotter pulled their equipment off of poles and out of neighborhoods? Or was it just left up there for the scrappers to come by with a ladder and get what they could?

Still there. ... who cares shot spoter isn't or ever was in my neighborhood, which probably goes for most of other coppers too. You know why it wasnt in my neighborhood.. because my neighborhood isnt filled with savages that love to kill each other. So let the oven continue to self clean itself.. its for the better of the humanity.

No money for Shotspotter .. gotta pay the illiterate teachers an average of $115,000 @ year and keep schools open that have only a 50 student capacity.

On the topic of missing. How did SCC miss the comments of State Rep Curtis Tarver as he blasted Mayor CTU, only to have his 2nd mommy SDG come to his defense.

The best part is Tarver's comments is when he drilled Mayor CTU in saying he won the election by 17% to 16% over Vallas with only 33% of Chicagoans voting.

Simply put mayor double dipped chocolate fudge peanut head doesn't care about black folks or people period. He has only four years to steal as much as he can before the community store closes on his trifling ass.

In Zone 1 they put the equipment up but never activated it. When I drive by the poles they are still up. If that equipment ever gets taken down they will never put it back up. It took years to hone in all the acoustics. Worked on the west side for many many years, and deactivating it was the dumbest thing this mayor did. Moron.

Why do we even care? The population doesn’t care. The block comes out to protect their own when one of their criminal friends is getting arrested. Just give them what they want.

this new shot spotter works just fine,,,, the person is shot and eventually spotted and is either already dead or will die, saving taxpayer $$$

I think shot spotter made so much money, they do not care about recovering their walkie talkie on a stick
With that being said, I do believe it is a tool worth saving. I also believe the city is so broke, they can’t afford to pay for anything. Chicago is about to hit rock bottom very soon.

Tell the scrappers to take the speed cameras too. All these criminals shooting each other and not a single one of them can hit a speed camera?

This has been the standard ratio here, in our city and county, for decades.

And the roiling maggot faces of the maggot head of parasitical governings smirk.

Take the sum total quantity of all cook county registered voters.

For state wide elected offices, not limited by congressional district boundries, there are only a few, both state and federal. These have a theoretical chance of being 'fair', and with authentically honorable candidates to choose from.

Every other elected office is thoroughly tainted with said parasiticals, aka politicals, aka all of them.

To vote for any of the choices, one is choosing to select the perceived least nasty parasitical politician.

I have more pleasure taking a good shit.

Perhaps, yet more effective is that the residents are much more reliable to report any sound remotely resembling a firearm discharge.

Not if the goal was to establish equality of opportunity to suppress the geographical location awareness by law enforcement for those not suppressor savy.

Run silent, run deep

Speak not at all, not even a peep

Silence those speaking by actions not words

Anything less is just for the birds

No shotspotter but a whole bunch of red light and speed cameras. Are they doing a racial statistical survey on the ethnicity of people who live in Edison park, Sauganash, Norwood Park, etc... who are getting violations mailed to them. Is this racist and biased because the majority of people getting violations are white. Biased traffic enforcement.
