Apparently, those don't work too well.
Spotshotter works in principle, but police departments are getting as low as 50% false positive rates, and can't really do anything if they do get reports of gunshots anyway - they turn up and the shooter is gone.
You'd hope that would lead to more public investment in education and services in those areas to alliviate crime and make them safer, but somehow I doubt that's what happened...
More? At what point will they look at all the money being spent and the blood being spilled and maybe consider investing in public schools doesn't magically get rid of an infestation of gang violence.

If your question is "When do you decide to stop spending and give up on people?", then I think the only civilised answer is "Never".
