      A) They should be

      B) Cameras won’t stop shit if what they’re worried about came to pass, they’ll collect evidence that will be largely unusable, because it’ll be crowds they need to worry about, not “Steve.”

          Respectfully, the facts demonstrate otherwise, given that Donald (going off his disapproval rating) is the most unpopular president in history. People hate that we have a pedo as president, they’re just powerless to do anything about it until the next election.

          Further, in just the last four months Flock has lost nearly 400 contracts in 36 states, and largely off boring, lawful resistance. It’s why they’re offering employee buyouts, and it doesn’t matter if some jurisdictions pivot to Motorola or Axon because the technology simply does not work and will still be unregulated.

          There is something in the cultural DNA of Americans that truly hates this technology, and what’s even worse… it fails often and spectacularly enough that people are even angrier.

              Sorry for necro, if anyone still uses that term, but:

              Bro then fucking do it. You won’t, pussy, no balls.

              OR you have a life, don’t want to die, you know that it won’t solve anything it’ll just make Vance president and further the goals of the surveillance state, and that you expecting others to do what you wont is fucking dumb. Pick one and stick with it. The only people who have the right to say “but we could shoot him” to me are those who have tried, either do it or kindly fuck off with that shit tbh.
