    It’s enraging to see cops take away anyone who disagrees with these fascist pricks to their faces.

      Saw my first Flock camera in the wild in my town. Across the street from a fucking Starbucks and next to a Quick Trip gas station. Right before you would enter the ramp for turnpike. I was so pissed but goddammit don’t know how one could take it out without getting caught.

    This is how you know you don’t live in a free country. If you try to stop someone from making money, boom, straight to jail.

    Next time one is planning to protest flock or some other horrible technology at a city council, they should bring several freinds. Its harder for a couple of cops to handcuff and drag off half a dozen people.

        Historically the jails would fill and they couldn’t arrest more.

        Today we have a for profit prison industry, so it’s harder. But the same tactic works on a large enough scale.

    The citation literally has “middle finger to mayor” written.

    Why the fuck would that be a crime?

      it’s not.

      the actual crime is the violation of her first constitutional right.
