ShotSpotter cited as officials charge men with murder and attempted murder, but Chicago’s mayor insists the technology doesn’t work – CWB Chicago

A City Council supermajority voted in support of keeping ShotSpotter last month, with most of the opposing votes coming from aldermen who represent wards that don’t have the technology; Chicago Police Supt. Larry Snelling has also voiced his support for the system. Meanwhile, ShotSpotter continues to be mentioned in courtrooms and police reports. Among the most recent ShotSpotter-related cases we’ve come across are a murder and an attempted murder.

Johnson is loathe to admit that 95% of shootings in Chicago are committed by non- whites. That is an irrefutable fact.

But the root cause of those 95% of shootings in Chicago is/was the racism of your long deceased great-grandparents who at one point in their lived within the city limits. And if you’re from a more recent immigrant family, well, it’s the pigment of your skin that is the cause.
