    You can’t perfectly stop all behavior this is so fucking dystopian.

        Over policing will destroy people’s want to be out in the world and will absolutely stop people from doing stupid, silly, or creative things in public spaces.

        Yes, we are absolutely in an era where social media losers use that shit for clicks and clout and that needs to stop, but you don’t want to minority report your population.

        You seriously want cameras watching your EVERY move? I don’t.

            I’m saying that we all did silly or foolish things that we got away with and it’s part of who we are. You can’t police that out of people.

            Doing donuts it’s a fun thing you did in the moment with friends or after a car meet.

            On the other hand, being a pedophile is a fucked up premeditated choice.

              Donuts in cars is not something everyone does. The skidmarks look trashy and ripping the tires up to do it generates a lot of microplastics.

              I’ll admit that there are degrees to this stuff, but I’m not saying both are bad and so everyone should be hanged, but they should both be policed and punished accordingly.

              Really, if you have a problem with any of that, then you are delusional buddy.

                I absolutely have a problem with funneling police resources towards acts that harm no one while letting pedophiles run the nation.

                I can’t tell if you’re being intentionally ignorant or what but holy fuck dude. Maybe you’re the only perfect goody fuckin two shoes on the earth well congratulations dawg, go take your surveillance state horse shit somewhere else.

                I bet you’d defend pervert glasses too.

                  I just explained how cars doing donuts create microplastics which is absolutely a harm to the environment.

                  As for the rest of your comment, stop making up random shit to demonize me so that you don’t have to listen to my argument. It’s frankly childish and awkward as hell to interact with.

    So they have the capability of going after pedophiles, murders, and child kidnappers but they focus on No Kings Protests!?!?

        I remember, back in 2010, when podcasts were new, NPR had a whole webpage explaining the concept to people, and how to subscribe to them, and that the only people who weren’t NPR that were making podcasts were people with very niche interests, like Satanists or Furries.

        Now every dipshit has a podcast, and they all suck shit

        racism is not about the language itself. it’s about as she herself said “who is running this car show, so we will keep an eye on it”. it’s panopticon-enabled racial profiling.

          Maybe I’m missing something obvious here, but why would you interpret “because of who is running it” as a racist dog whistle?

            who would be the first kind of person to be the “suspicious guy running around”, as opposed to a regular guy?

            why would they need that distinction in the first place when it’s just a so-called “car show”?

              I mean, someone behaving suspiciously? To be honest, it sounds much like you think all black people are suspicious more than the lady in the video.

              And car shows can get very rowdy - especially shows for more modern cars than classic or vintage cars. The botched car show in Gatlinburg TN a year or two comes to mind as a specific example.

                police is notorious for racially profiling and this is what they already do, supercharged. arguing they don’t is naive at best.

                i was actually thinking of latin immigrants (ie someone like myself), which they openly use flock to target.

                but yeah this probably applies native born black people too.

      I do something similar to what this person does (sell software to buyers), but she absolutely chose to work for this company. If I was expected to demo something like this I would refuse. She didn’t.

    There was a mention of seeing blockages in traffic flow, and sending officers to free the traffic so drivers don’t get upset (‘road rage’)

    I was in yhe city once at a protest and someone in their car had a cry to the media about being late to a funeral because of a protest, like why’re you driving through the cbd to a funeral? Why drive to a funeral at all?

    Fuck flock, no doubt about it, but I really don’t see the problem with this training example. The no kings protest were/are held all over the US, sometimes for multiple weeks. It is an example most officers will have some degree of experience with, and monitoring large masses of people for safety is totally normal police activity. The trainer specifically mentions keep officers out of the middle of everything, and then monitoring large crowd activity for signs of calamity. Frankly, I’d consider that model behavior for security at a large event. Stay out of the way, and watch for violent crazies. If I thought police would actually do what this training described, I’d be much more supportive of police than I am.
