Whoops

Police, again defying Mayor Brandon Johnson (I have no idea how it is
that none of the executive department heads report to Johnson) publish
statistics that police response was FASTER with a ShotSpotter alert
alone, two minutes slower with a ShotSpotter alert and a 911 call for
the same incident, and almost another minute slower with a 911 call but
no ShotSpotter alert.
