A man just went on a shooting spree in Georgia, technology will not help, parents have too be accountable for their decision.
its not gun violence , my gun has been left alone for 2 years and hasnt done anything
Amazing the never ending need for more cops but never a need for better jobs, employment and keeping the family dynamic together.
Cultural violence
🪑🔌⚰💉👻💀☠👍🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻
A nice expensive toy.
Only way it can be a safer Detroit we need more WP
No if Detroit had More WP
I ride a motorcycle in Detroit and I feel more vulnerable of being shot than ever before.
Its always gun violence not criminal violence. Stop blaming the tool and start blaming the criminal.
Will it pick up a silenced gun?
how tf u gonna keep ppl in their homes with millions of dollars ?? prime example of someone talkin out their ass lol
Yea that shit accurate
Brother Pope is a really good man. 21 people out of 1,300 is better then not catching any suspects. I am a retired police officer and trust every little bit Help counts.
What’s the root cause of the violence? How come cities like Birmingham, Royal Oak aren’t using this technology?
GRIM FACTS, NOT FICTION…
Listen, to get to work and not having a car, every morning at 4:00 a.m. I had to leave out my apartment and walk to work. All the guys leaving bars or clubs or just out looking for trouble was all out around that time. The thing is when I was going to work the most dangerous person on the street at that time was me because I had everything on me and at reach. Your biggest fear in this world should always be a… POINT-A to POINT-B kidnapping. My worse fear is being in somebody else complete control of Mercy or Cruelty. Every woman should have a pocketknife in her back pocket when she goes out. To attack or cut hand restraints. Then you have something called time and space. Somebody moving close to you…you have to notice {Time} put your pocketknife in your hand and open it when the person is coming at you no matter how you are moving. You move left, he moves left, you move right, he moves right. A person has to get close to you to attack you and that's your tell sign. { Space } Play it out in your mind a thousand times so your body don't freeze.
Black Panther…. { Don't Freeze } Last. do hospital damage or what I like to call "tagging" No matter what happens you want this person to have to go to the hospital. Even if your life is lost, you can save countless others. Best thing is…don't put yourself in this position in the first place. They got exercise gyms with a running track. Don't be a sheep in a world full of wolves.
Don't reply without a sub ………….GRIM
Yeah money is to be spent somewhere else to line y'alls pocket get the damn thing you're not coming out of your pocket and some of you guys act like you have the right to control all the money as if its yours
That white guy has no idea what he's talking about, how would keeping people in the houses they failed to pay on make a difference in crime? It's always a liberal white person who tried to comment on things when they're nestled safely in the burbs
Guns are easy, it's the Mass Knife violence in Canada that scares me!
You have Lori to thank for all this
Lol. These “critics” are cringe as shit. That guy needs a tooth brush and a gym membership.
How about we start opening our dang mouths and getting these lowlifes out of our neighborhoods!!!! Enough is ENOUGH!!!!!!!¡!
Shotspotter is going to help against criminals committing crimes the same way cameras do. They don't. These governments are doing anything they can to make it look like they're spending all the tax dollars on good stuff to help you. In reality, they hardly spend ANY of your tax dollars on these worthless tactics, and they spend ALL the tax payers funds on laundering and insider trading.
Know this before you vote this November.
The Democrat party, Governor Gretchen Witmer, support the following policy's:
*Biden's tax increases.
*Student Loan Forgiveness tax (10 trillion over 10 years)
* Inflation Act ( more Tax, note- there wasn't inflation until the Biden administration took office.)
*Biden's Open borders policy (2.3 million have crossed to date) more tax for the middle class.
*Opposed Voter ID.
* Witmer marched with BLM during the riots across the country and never condemned the violence.
*Amnesty for millions.
*Opposed to the wall, Fentanl pouring across our border.
*Teaching small children 10 years and up. Critical Race Theory (who is a racist, LGBTQ, gender identity.)This with the USA falling far behind internationally in math, science and history.
*School same sex restrooms (middle & high school.)
*Support reparations from white Americans.
*Convicts the right to vote from State & Federal Prisons.
*Terminating oil usage costing taxpayers costing thousands of jobs & drove gas price to historic highs.
* Abortions with no restrictions.
*Freeze on American oil production yet buying oil from other countries who pollute the environment.
*De-fund the Police, Democrats are very weak on crime.
*Early release, no bail releases.
*Gun control.
VOTE TUDOR DIXON FOR GOVERNOR AND REPUBLICANS ACROSS THE BOARD
Wow!!! Poor guy
I know something that would respond even faster!
It's called the 2nd amendment.
What's the use of knowing where a gunshot comes from if no cops are there or won't respond
Bl@ck violence survivor!
How about a bl@ck spotter camera system?
Spend that money and put the shot spotter tech out and keeping people in there homes
So now we need more cops? Lol thought they wanted to defend the police make up your mind
I under odrer of the law …But theses are last days This isn't flesh and blood issue its spiritual warefare…The Devil is the greater Deceiver and people are blind 2 it…He sais This generation is more Rebellious every b4 love sin like pig love mud…They are young and parents are young as having kids…so they put PlayStation n their faces and forget God ,,So what do you think kids have2 feed off is curses and wicked behavoir…Just in the last days perlious times Men lover of themselves and waxing cold….
So now their homies'll set off fireworks in one area sending the cops on a wild goose while the real business jumps elsewhere and what good is a shot spotter against a silencer
The technology is only as good as the People using it. Good Officers result in better results. Complacent or apathetic Officers does not matter what tech they have in their hands. An Overhaul in Training Officers on the Specific Technology needs to be a Top Priority then the Money allocated to the Communities that can benefit from this.
So put up 7 million for some shit that don’t work if i shoot a damn gun and leave the area soon as I shoot how tf they gone know who did what it’s pointless
Detroit Spot shooter needs to be placed all over Detroit. I've lived in a State where, after being installed, proved to be an invaluable piece of equipment. I vote YES!
"They feel the need to show they're doing something"
That's all politics
No amount of technology is gonna change the propensity for violence that's pervasive through out American society today.
7 Million $,$$$,$$$
** Problem is – criminals are not HARSHLY punished. You can have all of these fancy systems, but when people serve little jail time when being convicted of a crime – there is no deterrence. Jail criminals and give extremely HARSH punishment & make criminals serve all of their jail time & make jail EXTREMELY unpleasant.
Shia militia
Unless the people take back their streets, no tech in the world will make a difference.
Wait… who would disagree? Idiots.
We use to have 4,000+ police officers in 2000. Now we have 2,200 police officers and the technology they installed doesn't work. Put the police officers back on the job then you have more people paying taxes. Who's pockets are they lining with the technology. Community policing works better!!! Dan Gilbert with his cameras downtown hasn't lowered crime.
On the day I was born a man could not walk the street of Detroit without bumping into three great jobs just waiting to be taken. Now look at it. Keep voting for rich elites keep having a city and country not fit to raise a kid in
They’ve ruined Detroit
