There was a mention of seeing blockages in traffic flow, and sending officers to free the traffic so drivers don’t get upset (‘road rage’)
I was in yhe city once at a protest and someone in their car had a cry to the media about being late to a funeral because of a protest, like why’re you driving through the cbd to a funeral? Why drive to a funeral at all?
The cowardly lion woman needs to be named alongside flock itself. This needs to follow her forever as well. Fascist mouthpiece garbage person
So they have the capability of going after pedophiles, murders, and child kidnappers but they focus on No Kings Protests!?!?
What in the fuck is wrong with these people.
Why would they go after their friends and bosses?
I think it’s funny that one of the most well-known ancient pieces of writing is of a man complaining that he was sold cheap copper, and here we are over 3,500 years later still thinking merchants can be trusted. Flock was never going to serve the common people when they can make so much more money serving the wealthy instead. When someone chooses a career in making money over all else, the only thing you can trust about them is that they will drop everyone and everything for a buck.
Yeah, the “moral right” is crooked as fuck and in contradiction to their source.
What a great display of free speech!
I hate the banality of selling the panopticon to barely accountable militarized police departments with the same casual attitude as presenting a new AI workflow in a forced Microsoft Teams meeting.
These ghouls just walk among us and go on existing like they’re people.
Why would anyone work for Flock I wonder?
Money
Snooping on children doing gymnastics and shit. Probably spanking it too.
I need as many tools to make myself dangerous if and when I need it
boldly proclaiming your presence as a possible danger to the public is quite something
Oh no I really believed that it was for our safety
Think of the children! (They’ll be the ones ratting out their neighbors to the Party)
The Party?
Yup, soon there’ll be Political Officers, like Soviet times. Just look at “loyalist appointments,” for example.

The unapologetically naked racism in that “car show” example.
“Based on who was promoting it.” WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
My first thought was the Paul Walker picture? So what, all Fast and Furious fans are latent criminals?
Those are some of the highest grossing movies of all time, surely you can’t profile criminals based on a film franchise with significant mass appeal. Talk about painting with a large brush.
One of the most interesting statistics I’ve ever heard was that traffic stops go up significantly around theaters that have recently screened a fast and furious movie.
I hope it’s a true statistic because it makes a lot of sense.

If everyone is guilty of something, it makes yanking them off the street easier to justify to a news media asleep at the switch.
How was it racist? The language seems pretty banal
racism is not about the language itself. it’s about as she herself said “who is running this car show, so we will keep an eye on it”. it’s panopticon-enabled racial profiling.
Maybe I’m missing something obvious here, but why would you interpret “because of who is running it” as a racist dog whistle?
who would be the first kind of person to be the “suspicious guy running around”, as opposed to a regular guy?
why would they need that distinction in the first place when it’s just a so-called “car show”?

Flock has a podcast for police departments. This evil woman is a host
They have a PODCAST??
I remember, back in 2010, when podcasts were new, NPR had a whole webpage explaining the concept to people, and how to subscribe to them, and that the only people who weren’t NPR that were making podcasts were people with very niche interests, like Satanists or Furries.
Now every dipshit has a podcast, and they all suck shit
“Welcome to my podcast! You can listen to more in my patreon. Now go get some Hello Fresh!
Today we’re going to talk about how SpookyBogMonster thinks my podcast is shit. Well, I know you are but what am I? What do you think of that Mr or Mrs SpookyBogMonster?”

I just appreciate your willingness to be gender inclusive :)
2010?
The ‘pod’ part of podcast comes from iPod, they are from like 2004.
They even tried to make ‘vodcast’ a thing when the video iPod came out.
How cute, she has a LinkedIn profile, I’m sure some creative people can do something useful with such information.

- 911 (that’s not a skill)
- mutual aid (politically indecipherable)
I don’t know what to do with this information
I’m not even sure that this qualifies as information. It’s just a list of increasingly disjointed things.
find her address place ten cameras around it and broadcast her whole life to the world
Oh you can just bet she hates the idea of thousands of people knowing her exact whereabouts at anytime of the day.
Can see her tone deaf public statement about harassment and calls for civility.
Would be a shame if someone were to surveil this woman and post her whereabouts for all to see.
Not even the courtesy to put a mask on it. Full on fascist police state
Fuck flock, no doubt about it, but I really don’t see the problem with this training example. The no kings protest were/are held all over the US, sometimes for multiple weeks. It is an example most officers will have some degree of experience with, and monitoring large masses of people for safety is totally normal police activity. The trainer specifically mentions keep officers out of the middle of everything, and then monitoring large crowd activity for signs of calamity. Frankly, I’d consider that model behavior for security at a large event. Stay out of the way, and watch for violent crazies. If I thought police would actually do what this training described, I’d be much more supportive of police than I am.
