Why does a city council installing Flock cameras deserve respect?

Why do they get to use the police state to abuse people if they get disrespected?

Absolutely insane that the surveillance state is expanding (even more!) and this is what you're concerned about.

Because making respect contingent on "whether you agree with the issue or not" is a great way to make everything devolve into partisan tribes, eg. "anti-abortionists: why do baby killers deserve respect?"

		> Because making respect contingent on "whether you agree with the issue or not" It is when that issue is personal privacy and our fundamental rights. Why would I want to respect them when they want to further dehumanize us?

This must be parody, do you not understand the basics of a functioning society?

		Not taking the concerns of the people you supposedly represent seriously is more rude than a middle finger.

Act like a child, expect to be treated like one.

And the mayor who refused public comments at the last minute? "Act like a tyrant, expect to be treated like one"?

How familiar are you with city council proceedings? I think we need to know before engaging with you further. It's not useful to argue with free speech absolutists.

		Very familiar. How familiar are you with the principles of democratic societies?
