Why you would want to throw the baby with the bathwater out is beyond me......

I fully agree with Ordo.
Unfortunately, the driving force behind the anti-shotspotter sentiment is mostly just anti police sentiment, so impacted neighborhoods will just have to grit their teeth over vague 911 calls until a new administration takes office.
Personally I think gentrification, prosecution and courts have a bigger impact on how many shootings take place than shotspotter and 911.
