no so good as bad and bad
Community means a gr2up of things
ok
dog
well dog, I dont understand what you meant by “Community means a gr2up of things”.. care to explain further?
I really like your name. Do you know what that means yet?
It’s a pretty scary world we live in when we have to worry about this stuff in the first place.
Gunshot detection system! Wow… just wow!
Cory is my kind of major.. WOW! He went above the call of duty and lived in some of the highest crime places in the US! The stories of the brutal crime is just plan scary! Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
Better safe than sorry
I can’t get to see the rest of the story…
Im also having trouble to read the rest of the story…
We shouldn’t worry about this kind of things.
They got the same thing in London…
It will probably make people feel safer.
I hope no one is depressed over this…
Nice idea, hopefully it will make people feel safer and the city itself will become better to live.
It sounds like a great plan though I wonder, how cost effective is it? I mean, to lay this sort of plan out on a large scale seems almost impossible. And, next you’ll have someone complaining about their civil rights being violated.
It shouldn’t be necessary, but i am sure it’s for the best. G.
The same happen to Asia.
yes for sure a hot topic, from one side security and fighting crime, on the other the privacy concerns… and endless loop really
Great post and interview on Techcrunch as usual, Thanks a lot
Yes, the city’s new video surveillance and gunshot detection system being used to fight crime in an eight-square mile area.
I really hope that because of this mayor’s actions they can reduce crime more efficiently. It hurts me every time I hear a police officer was killed in a shootout. Congrats to this mayor!
Excellent post. I was checking constantly this blog and I’m impressed! Extremely useful information particularly the last part
I care for such info a lot. I was looking for this particular info for a long time. Thank you and good luck.
It us a shame that we live in times when such measures are needed.
great post – we all need to concentrate on our local communities and keeping our locals safe…
Hello. splendid job. I did not anticipate this. This is a remarkable story. Thanks!
An stimulating discourse is designer interpret. I cogitate that you should indite author on this content, it strength not be a prejudice issue but generally people are not enough to mouth on such topics. To the succeeding. Cheers like your Interview With Mayor Cory Booker About Community Eye.
I find this very interseting. TechCrunch is also a great website with a lot of things inside. Thanks for sharing this
Kinda a sadden..but life goes on..
Gun shot detection is a pretty crazy feature to have in a neighborhood, just needing to have that says a alot about the neighborhood
If you even need to consider having a gunshot detector in your neighborhood maybe it’s time to move
Finding the right place to live is important and if you are always thinking about getting shot its probably time to leave
This is one of the most frightening stories I have heard about in recent years. Although the technology behind it is pretty cool.
Everything was well said and quite understandable.
