How effective can this be when most criminals take off after firing shots 🤔

[@ANTAGONIST1776]

It's a tool in the tool box for police. Yes I understand your question and it is valid question, but with video surveillance also helps.

[@tangomangothethird3589]

So July 4th the device is useless

[@ANTAGONIST1776]

Or it might be working overtime 😭

Not surprised. Dixons views on abortion are going to tank her. She will have to lighten that stance if she wants even a chance.

[@ANTAGONIST1776]

[@roxannewatson4785]

You ppl only listen to 5% of Black ppl and we know what kind of black ppl they are. Go talk to the ppl who are in te trenches. The shooters, the families of the shooters, etc.

[@ANTAGONIST1776]

@RoxanneWaton who is (YOU PEOPLE)

[@detroitvideos9496]

Hire more police on the streets in the city. In 2000 we had 4400 police officers. We now have 2000 police officers. Create tax paying jobs, not wasteful technology. Also raise the pay of the police. 8th and 9th precincts didn't lower crime with shot spotter.

[@ANTAGONIST1776]

I wouldn't say it's wasteful technology is a tool that the police department can us to find or rule out where come from. A tool in the tool boxes. I don't believe this technology is supposed to lower crime that is a whole different aspect of the conversation lowing crims starts in the community but you I think YOU believe ( and I don't know why) this tool of technology is supposed to bring down crime no, it's again it's a tool.
