i think god has already done it **in a very forceful way**. with some water and wind
it is now left for mr minnis and his government to clean up what has started.

ShotSpotter is a gunfire detection system used by the Birmingham Police Department to provide rapid location data for gunfire in the city.
The system, which covers an area of over 6 square miles, uses a network of about 100 sensors connected to processing software which distinguish gunfire from other noises and triangulate the location to within about 40 feet so that officers can respond quickly. The inconspicuously-placed 360° microphones are spaced at about 12 to 20 sensors per square mile. Each sensor has a thermometer so that the speed of sound can be calculated precisely. The system also records data on each incident which can be used in statistical analysis and as evidence in prosecutions.
The equipment and software is supplied by ShotSpotter, Inc. of Mountain View, California and installed and supported by the South Carolina Research Authority. *****The cost for installation was $987,000 and the city pays about $100,000 per year to maintain the system.*****
The technology was one of the recommendations made by former Police Chief Annetta Nunn in 2006. It was touted by Mayor Bernard Kincaid in the 2007 State of the City address. Funding for the system was helped by a $1 million grant from the United States Department of Justice, spearheaded by Senator Richard Shelby.
The system was installed in late 2007 and was undergoing testing in December. The first arrest credited to the system was made in the East Precinct on January 30, 2008. James Rogers was arrested in the 200 block of 80th Street South for firing a rifle inside the city limits. He had outstanding warrants for criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing.
On August 10, 2008 officers responded to multiple gunshots detected by the system in East Birmingham. There they found a man shot to death. According to homicide detective Roy Bristow it was the first time ShotSpotter detected gunfire involved in a homicide. As of February 2009 the system was credited with leading police to four arrests and two homicide victims. Deputy Chief Ray Tubbs told the Birmingham News that he hopes to expand the system and find better ways to make use of it in the department's crime-fighting efforts.
In 2010 city officials requested additional federal grants to expand the system. Over the next three years the number of detectors was increased from 90 to 120 and the covered area increased from 6 to 7 square miles.
