I'm going to assume this is a con, and they've got money in ShotSpotter. What a boon it'll be to the company when cities pay them to install the devices in neighborhoods where shootings DON'T happen, just to dispel the illusion of racism.

No, the con is that fixing the problem is a threat to their power. If ShotSpotter helps clean up the Democrat shitholes they'll stop voting Democrat.

Or simply naming the company and tech could increase their sales in other communities.

Yeah, I wonder why they put them in areas with tons of blacks.

Maybe there's some relation to the crime rates? Let me put on my thinking face

Just don’t think in a way that’s problematic.

Maybe it’s my “white privilege” that made me grow up in a white neighborhood where I wasn’t at risk of being shot on the way home from school by a room temperature IQ ape with daddy issues.

I'm not sure what's worse; that these people honestly believe what they're saying and they live in such an insulated bubble that anything contrary is impossible to consider, or they're just lying to everyone's face as easily as they breath.

Disparate Impact Theory has been the most successful rebranding of communism to date.

Already dropped by Chicago. Minneapolis might soon follow. https://alphanews.org/activists-urge-minneapolis-to-end-use-of-gunshot-detection-technology/

Wait, why is it their fault? Are they the ones deciding where to set them up? I figured they were a tech contractor, with their client (the respective cities) being the one to determine where the placement goes.

Just bring a sheet of violent gun crimes committed by race/geographical location to the court date and make them eat their words

So… blue cities pay to install shotspotter so they can claim they’re “doing something about crime” while simultaneously cutting funds to police and other civil services so they can funnel money to their political social groups.

Blue cities get push back from black social groups because it makes people notice crime more and that makes black pipo look bad and actually demand better policing and more civil services(never mind the fact that most of these areas are super racially diverse with minorities and illegal immigrants) so blue cities, instead of increasing policing, remove the shotspotter to “solve the problem”

Blue cities sue shotspotter for not informing them how racist they were and use it to open up a new line of funds to funnel to their social groups.

The argument falls apart if you have an ounce of integrity: placing sensors to protect non-white households from attack is the opposite of the racism they claim it is.

I am 100% in favor this. My town installed shotspotter and then removed it because the most-SJW progressive politicians fought against it.

Let the gangsta neighborhoods be riddled with bloodshed and crime. If they don't want to do anything about it, good for them. I'll live somewhere else.
