Still Entertaining

Must be our dark sense of humor:

• The decision by Mayor Brandon Johnson to remove gunfire detection technology from Chicago streets led to delayed emergency responses for three more shooting victims on Sunday night and Monday morning. No one called 911 to report the gunfire in either case, leaving one victim to flag down a passing patrol car for help while another waited more than eight minutes for the police to find her.

  Johnson ended the city’s relationship with ShotSpotter in September 2024 despite opposition from a supermajority of the City Council and the desires of CPD Supt. Larry Snelling. Since then, at least 71 shooting victims have experienced longer waits than necessary for first responders to locate them. About half of those victims have died.

Again, this was always the World's Most Expensive Shell Casing Finder although it did have the added "benefit" of getting police to shooting locations faster. 

But that came with the extreme downside risk of actually confronting a shooter, meaning that 95% of the time (stats via HeyJackass.com), an oppressed individual was in danger of going to jail, or worse, being shot by the police, and Conehead couldn't have that.
