The ZeroEyes service can cost $5,000 per month for a single high school with 200 cameras. Mr. Watts, whose district uses the service across 250 school cameras, said the cost was worth it. For some reason there is always money for this nonsense but not things like free lunch or even like projector bulb replacements.

What are cameras going to do to stop an active shooter? At best it can help guide the police, but that's a tall order in the moments that matter.

  The police who are waiting outside for an hour?

    Correction: the police who get their own kids out and then wait outside for an hour.

      Maybe the cameras can get some footage of the cops arresting parents afterwards!

        Three above posters should be ashamed. This isn't reddit, nobody thinks you all are clever. If "dancing on the graves of dead children" actually meant something, posting snarky one-liners from the safety of your privileged lives to jerk each other off for invisible points that nobody else can even see, would probably count.

        The police who should have responded in a timely fashion should be ashamed We need legislation to fix these issues but all we get are these business contracts that do nothing but line the pockets of politicians and their friends

        The police aren't going to read your comments, those actually victimized, far more likely. There are far more family and friends of victims in Uvalde, much more likely to find your heinous comment, trying to make light of a tragedy, absolutely needlessly. You are not commenting on a CFR document, furthering public discourse. You can dress it up all you want, these comments are disgusting, do nothing to add value to any sane discourse in any way, and are a direct attempt to make a small dopamine hit for yourself, all from a tragedy that I am sure you believe you personally would had superman'd into. no good faith thoughts, just shit keyboard drivel. disgusting, you and all the thoughtless NPC's that further endow snarky dim-witted remarks from a national tragedy should be ashamed -- had you had an ounce of agency, an iota of empathy, a semblance of self-reflection... "should be ashamed"...yea, let us hear what you know of shame

        Your outrage should be directed at the uvalde cops or the shooter, buddy.

        Those actually victimized are suing the officers themselves: https://www.kens5.com/article/news/special-reports/uvalde-school-shooting/uvalde-texas-school-shooting-robb-elementary-federal-lawsuit/273-6d024b6c-406e-4490-8b17-37c8a7a3428d https://www.kens5.com/article/news/special-reports/uvalde-sc...

        > The police aren't going to read your comments, those actually victimized, far more likely. There are far more cops than there are even acquaintances of mass shooting victims (let alone family/friends, let alone the victims themselves). Statistically speaking, your statement is in all likelihood the opposite of correct. > all from a tragedy that I am sure you believe you personally would had superman'd into. Unlike a cop, I don't put on a badge and uniform and go around insisting that I should be given special legal privileges and immunities on the basis of protecting innocent lives from crime. Your anger is misplaced. Instead of directing it at those who allow tragedies like that of Robb Elementary School to happen under their noses, you instead choose to shoot the messenger. Criticisms of the Thin Blue Line hitting a bit close to home there, bud?

  The systems are designed to enrich some tech companies who have relationships with schools, and let school administrators hire more staff and speak to parents about how they are doing something.

Large segments of America have free lunch. Some segments don’t because we let them run their districts of the empire how they want to run them. Some segments of America have installed these cameras, most have not. Do you have any evidence that there is a single region of America where they have both installed these cameras and refused to have free lunches or are you just low brow bashing on America?

  The school district mentioned in the article that bought the system does not regularly provide free school lunches except for the 2021-2022 school year. Oxford Community Schools (called out by ZeroEyes in a press release) also does not provide free lunch.

  This doesn’t contradict anything I said. The stats on the page you linked don’t mention anything about universal free lunch. Sorry but I think we should feed all our students before we waste money on buying into marketing hype.
