| He already has been. Flock cameras routinely draw the police into situations where they're not need and cause shootings/high speed chases that end in dead bodies. |

| In yesterday's video from Benn Jordan [0] there was a Flock employee that told 911 multiple times "I'm not sure if they are armed." when reporting that a few people were filming from the perimeter of a Flock office building in Georgia. He also said several times that "we're under lockdown here." /shrug Seems like he was certainly trying to cause some form of harm. Flock sucks. 0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP5GDiLZ1Nw https://youtu.be/OP5GDiLZ1Nw?t=1130 if you want a timestamp. |

| Do you think he will shut down LEO access to its systems if the government decides to have a purge of the undesirables, or two? |

| Many of the Nazis didn't kill people themselves, they just helped in the process. |

| More like another reason for cops to mow down protesters. True Citizens would never protest something so obviously beneficial to everyone /s |

| ▲ | nkrisc 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Good did not hit an officer with her car, and was driving away from him when she was shot through the side window of her car. Pretti was legally armed and was shot and killed while face down on the ground. This is all corroborated with video and contradicts statements from the involved federal agents. Charitably they were “mistaken”, realistically they lied to cover themselves. There are many more instances where federal agents lied about what happened and their accounts were later refuted by eyewitness testimony and video. Just in those cases the victims did not die. Look up all the cases that were thrown out of court because government’s case rested on falsehoods. | | |
| ▲ | bko 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | So your definition of "mowing down" protestors is 2 questionable shootings over the last year where tens of thousands of people protested. Got it | | |
| ▲ | nilamo 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | How are people so chill about police killing anyone? These people are literally paid by the community, to protect the community. Anyone dying at their hands is an insane level of failure, we shouldn't need hundreds of examples when every single instance should be an outlier in the data. | | |

| ▲ | malfist 3 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Following your logic, how many people must the police murder without provocation before it constitutes "mowing down". Please, give an exact number | |
| ▲ | cxvrfr 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | What's questionable about them? If people in power see that they can callously murder people and everyone is as apathetic what do you think will happen next? |

I am aware that Google's search quality has gone down, but surely not to that extent.

In any case, ICE are not police, i.e. not cops, so I dunno why you would derail the discussion to ICE if you are talking in good faith. Cheers.

> Yes [1]. That article doesn't really say anything about police mowing down protestors. It mentions civil rights clashes in the 60s and then jumps to the murder of George Floyd and then a graph of people shot and killed by police since 2015 conveniently leaving out whether the shootings were justified or not. |
