The city of San Francisco will pay 10 lucky individuals who are “at high risk of shooting someone” $300 not to pull the trigger or be involved in shootings.

The terminology used by Newsweek describes the project in that fashion. The Dream Keeper Fellowship is launching the initiative in October and will pay 10 people a monthly $300 salary to not get caught up in shooting incidents.
“It’s not necessarily as cut and dry as folks may think. It’s not as transactional as, ‘Here’s a few dollars so that you don’t do something bad,’ but it really is about how you help us improve public safety in the neighborhood,” Sheryl Davis, executive director of the Human Rights Commission, told the outlet Tuesday.
Those involved in the program can earn a bonus of $200 if they engage and even being a mediator in situations that could lead to violence.” Davis hopes this cash incentive will encourage the recipients about the intrinsic rewards of being productive members of society.
