He is transforming the city into a larger pile of crap. Following the last Mayors footsteps.

[henryrivera]

Mayor wants to lower shooting stats, by removing what’s reporting the shooting, lmao 🤣

[JamieKennedi]

He got that transform this city part right. Low income housing in downtown. Giving all our money to migrants. Yeah he is transforming the city to old Detroit

[WindyCityIllState]

You transformed this city into Venezuela and police that do nothing at all everyday all day. How you getting killed on public transportation? How all these guns on the street, how kids never in school, how Venezuelan got cars and scooters and housing with no job or credit??

[blamesociety]

Recall the mayor and stop voting democrat

[benjaminrivera]

Wow what a pro crime mayor. KEEP VOTING DEMOCRAT.

[MichaelEllegard-dzyd]

The Mayor wants to ignore gunfire? Amazing.

[sonjadeneale]

He needs that money to pay for the illegals.

[nakumastone]

He doesn't want it because it provides FACTS. And those do not lie.

[mikekeenan]

Transform this city into what? An unlivable hell hole?

[DMCDIRKY]

NO BRANDON, YOU ARE MESSING THIS CITY UP WORSE. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

[robmc]

He doesn't want the public to know how many gunshots are fired every single day..

[MrLuffy]

So say shotspotter detects a gunshot, police arrest the suspect who fired gun, DA doesn't prosecute suspect and lets him go. Blame shotspotter and say that it's not reducing violence lol

[lvgk]

They whine, they cry, they continue to vote on race, democrap and gender. Wa wa wa wa.

[madvillian]

he's transforming it aright. to a bigger hell holed than it was

[rander]

I can't imagine a rational argument against this technology ... unless of course it's from criminals.

[boredca]

Johnson should resign, move to Dolton and then run for mayor there. With his abysmal track record, he'd be lucky if he gets elected the town dog catcher.

[michaelschooler-fx]

Makes sense. He doesn't care about lowering crime or making arrests. What a buffoon. Congratulations Chicago. You voted for it. Enjoy!😊

[lonnieosbourne]

I didn't think anybody could be worse than Lightfoot, man was I wrong...

[sharpe]

Keep voting for democrats and expect different results.
