>Why does a city council installing Flock cameras deserve respect?

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?"

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?

You really can't see why this can't be applied to abortion as well? I'm not even against abortion and I can see the problem with what's essentially "if you you disagree with them enough you don't have to respect them".

The anti abortion people have already done that. They harass women and bomb clinics. They don't respect women and actively work to have their rights taken away. So I don't really care about them, nor do I respect them. The same way I will not respect the wannabe little lords in city councils like this.

They are elected officials after all, so much for the 'wannabe'.

Also why is 100% of your comment history political ranting and acting like a major asshole?
