Might be off-topic, but back in my youth, the night before Halloween was Devil's Night: when Detroit was lit by the flames of ill-conceived arson & related "pranks". 🤷🏼♂️
How about no?
FIFY
F
ITFYPeople will stop tearing down cameras, and in exchange, flock will do it themselves. Sounds like a solid compromise to me.
Amazing how since the beginning of policing, officers have managed to do their work without these cameras. Maybe they should just do that for the safety part and flock should just stop existing as a company for the privacy part.
"To Serve & Protect" is just a slogan, not a tenet. 🤷🏼♂️
Our comprise: we'll only guillotine you, instead of you and your family
How's "no"? Does "no" work?
Say it to a cop and find out?
(Please, don't.)
No kidding. Their proposed safety features to stop police stalking make the police accountable to themselves. Oh, and the police can shut off some of those safety features, and again, it's up to the police to catch them.
The world is one big kangaroo court and we gave all the children guns.
Let's be clear, the kids with guns we're focused on (as a "country") are the ones bringing them to school, and it's the no-dick "adult" backbirths with guns who're the salient problem here.
That was not at all clear.
Which part? The kids shooting up their schools or the "police" who piss themselves when tasked with actually doing their fucking jobs? 😅
Oh I see, you're off on your own tangent here. I was wondering why you responded to me.
Nope.
☝🏼
You're in your own little world, aren't you? This looks like a pointless debate waiting to happen, so I'm out.
Fascinating 🤣
how about flock stop working with the government and sell a product instead of a bullshit service
But, but, but... think of the shareholders!
I'd be down for a compromise
However that's probably not what Flock wants
