    The cowardly lion woman needs to be named alongside flock itself. This needs to follow her forever as well. Fascist mouthpiece garbage person

    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.

    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.

        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.

    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.

    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

        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.

          If everyone is guilty of something, it makes yanking them off the street easier to justify to a news media asleep at the switch.

          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.

        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?

        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

          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.

          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.
