OK, Milwaukee, it’s time to give this technology a shot.

Shotspotter is a computerized web of sensors that can locate the exact location of a gun shot at the moment the gun is fired. Fast responding officers could actually arrive in time to aprehend the shooter. Major cities including Oakland, cialis sale online Washington D.C., best viagra and now Minneapolis are using the system.

Here’s something concrete Milwaukee’s leaders could be doing to respond to the overwhelming violence in the inner city. A system like this, tied to a rapid response force, could arrest wrong doers and maybe even discourage them from firing in the first place.

It wouldn’t solve all the problems, but it would be a great start. The question is: are Milwaukee‘s so-called leaders too busy denying the problem to do anything to begin to solve the problem?
