00:03:46.100 did he really address the problems and say we we need to do something about this and
00:03:53.080 i'm going to implement this that this is the same guy that took down a shot spotter
00:04:00.080 that decided that the money going to the shot spotter program this was a program where up on
00:04:07.820 light poles around the city were microphones and if there was a gunshot these various microphones
00:04:17.700 could triangulate and then tell the police exactly where the gunshot was fired from
00:04:25.160 and they could react in some instances they've reacted within seconds to where this gunshot was
00:04:33.880 he decided this program wasn't worthwhile wasn't worth the money the same guy that's paying gang
00:04:41.200 members to be violence interrupters in the city and a couple of them have already been arrested

00:04:57.480 money to bolster the drugs and weapons and whatnot for these gangs so again the politicians that are
00:05:05.820 doing nothing for the people that are actually trying to live lives they're paying money into
00:05:12.400 the system and they're just getting screwed by people like brandon johnson
00:05:16.280 Thank you.
