Chicago Mayor Extends Contract on Anti-Crime Program That He Campaigned Against As Racist
Jonathan Turley | February 17, 2024 | Jonathan Turley… this week saw a particularly confusing moment when, after calling the anti-crime program ShotSpotter “racist,” Johnson asked the company to extend its contract beyond the upcoming Democratic National Convention. So Johnson will put an end to this supposedly racist program but only after the Democratic luminaries (and the most violent summer months) have passed. …
… Johnson first declared that ShotStopper was racist because it spots more shots in minority neighborhoods and is used by police to justify … investigations or charges.
The program has been widely credited for reducing violence and crimes. …
So ShotSpotter is now being extended for seven months. Johnson says that the police will then be transitioned away from the technology.
Why not spend another couple of million dollars on a “Robocop” robot to patrol sidewalks — but not stairs?
DEAD OR ALIVE…THOSE MAIL IN BALLOTS WILL BE COUNTED BY ME..Robocounter
And it will definitely end juuuuuust after the Democrat convention.
