Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
If cops are willing to follow these orders, they'll follow any orders.
Getting rid of the politicians and flock isn't enough. We desperately need to fix our police forces "it's gonna be hard" ain't an excuse
Honestly you could probably just nuke their funding and let them bleed out, while also raising up militia to fill the void with a blacklist for cops unless they take certain actions. Ideally the militia would have relatively high standards and would be largely disarmed or otherwise equipped with less than lethal gear for daily patrols.
The old cops would form the organized mafia day one after this decision. Disarmed militia would look silly against that.
The cop said, “You’re under arrest,” grabbed her arms, and pulled her out of the room. “I can do this all night. I get paid by the hour,” the cop added.
Using this against the person whose taxes pay his salary is especially telling. He doesn’t serve this community, he abuses it.
Most police officers don't sign up because they're good people.
they sign up because they would be unhireable elsewhere, even walmart/amazon wont take these people.
I worked for one of these companies and fired a former cop for racial slurs and anger problems.
Good people don't make it through police training. The would be good cops are scared off.
And the ones who do don't last long
He doesn’t serve this community, he abuses it.
Well, duh.
Hes a cop.
They serve nothing but the rich and powerful.
the common folk are just fodder to get their thrills with and express their frustrations on.
Cops like that should be fired and permanently bared from retirement and reinstatement
These cunts live every day without nearly enough fear of being tarred and feathered. That really ought to change.
Why would they have fear? How many people watched this happen in person and did nothing? If anyone there had any balls they'd stand up and not let it happen. I guarantee there were A LOT more citizens than security.
The US was founded on action, not petition signatures of how "upset" you are. Until people actually put their perverbial cock on the chopping block, things will only get worse.
ya but if the poors do it its 'terrorism' and when the rich do it it's 'war'
or at least thats how it seems
I think it's worse. When the rich do it, it's "Law and Order"
The only way these flock cameras are coming down legally is if people use the cameras against their local council.
Use the various means to get into the cameras or just set up shop outside their comes and note what time they go in and out of their home. Note their children's clothes, what school they go to and their car license plate numbers.
Provide print outs and distribute them at the meeting. Be sure to have them for the news people outside.
Council members think they are special and aren't going to be targeted by Flock. We need to show them that the laws that work for Flock work for us too.
Lol, they'll just arrest you for stalking.
The laws that work for Flock don't work for us too.
Schrag ordered citizens to clear the room and shut off cameras recording the event.
Aww, what’s wrong with cameras, Mayor Schrag? Does the idea of being filmed all the time make you feel uncomfortable for some reason?
I love that the woman give the finger and then said, probably not my most shining moment.
No, it is your shining moment!! Give them all the finger when you get arrested!! Hell yeah!!! 🖕🖕🖕
Maybe one of the most important moments of her life
Give them all the finger when you get arrested!! Hell yeah!!! 🖕🖕🖕
First of all, I wholeheartedly concur.
Secondly, it's very impressive that you feel so passionate about it that you grew a third hand 🤘🏼😄✊🏼
I always wonder how many local politicians have been paid off by Flock.
Once it's used to stalk them and that stalking results in something nasty or scandalous, they'll care, and cry and whine about how it's such a violation of their rights.
Wow. Fascists gonna fash, apparently.
Great, now she can sue the city for wrongful arrest.
And the tax payers can pay for it, the arresting officer can get some paid leave, no one involved in the decision will face any consequences for it, and it has still provided a chilling effect on anyone else who wants to speak out.
If they won't let you voice your opinion in public do it at their house. Don't let these fuckers feel safe.
Springfield, Missouri, USA ↑
(Sometimes because there are so many articles about atrocities/indignities being committed across the country I feel the need to localize for readers who just glance in)
You ever want to talk about a shithole, Springfield Missouri is that shithole.
Take the most conservative hillbillies, midwestern rednecks, people with too much money and no education, racists of every flavor, and Nazis flying their Nazi flags in public.
That mayor DOES obviously have a tiny, stinky cock.
From another article:
"I believe that the purpose of public hearings or when there's actually something of substance, if there's nothing of substance, it just becomes kind of theater," Schrag stated
So dissenting opinions on needless surveillance is by definition "theater" and can't POSSIBLY be of substance, according to this poorly endowed stinkphallus.
We're there to do the people's business.
By shutting the people up, says the possessor of an infinitesimal and pungent Johnson.
He said he understands that people have concerns, but has also heard from Springfield Police on the usefulness of the technology.
Big "you may like your civil liberties but they're bothersome to the SS" energy from he of the malodorous micropenis.
Schrag explains that giving the committee 9 months allows them to look into the full scope of both sides.
Without in any way requiring them to respect the wishes of their constituency, Tiny Toxicpants neglected to add.
just throwing thing, after thing, after thing at staff is not an appropriate way to get results,
Said Schrag, whose own thing can be detected by odor three counties away, but isn't visible with the naked eye at a distance of one foot.
When your representatives don't represent you, shift the focus to who they are representing. Get loud and don't stop. Overflow the room for every public meeting of any kind. Dominate all public comment. These folks aren't your neighbors, they are neighbors to the municipal consultants the city pays to draw the master plan. Clear cut your trees, zone for data centers, build surveillance infrastructure, close your public schools, install unnecessary roundabouts and raise your utility costs.
I’m with you on everything except roundabouts. For moderate traffic intersections, they are more efficient than stoplights and stop signs. Opposition to them seems largely confined to those who regard wide arcs and looking left for other traffic as unreasonable demands against their intellect.
Russians are getting arrested for calling Putin a dickhead, how is this any different?
It's not. I won't be surprised if people start falling out of windows soon too
Lots of people will be facing tribunals when this is over. We the people will not forget the actions of fascists.
When this is over
At the pace Americans are overturning the Trump regime, even Big Balls will be dead of old age before facing a tribunal.
Edit: fixed format.
Democrats: “Water under the bridge…we need to move forward in the name of unity and not dwell on the past.”
ACAB
Violation of Constitutional rights under the Color of Law.
Fuck flock and all the other companies participating in the digital panopticon!!! Power to the people!!!!
Schrag moved to send the resolution to committee and prevent public comment on the issue.
The move passed 5 - 3
Seemed a fair bit of dissent on committee over whether to have public comments, so arresting commenters seemed a little harsh... in retrospect even.
I dont get this. If you dont want public comment you can just vote to not have it? what kind of shit is that?
