🚨#BREAKING: An employee for Flock told a reporter that if he wants privacy, he can "opt out of society."
So that reporter filmed a Flock worker installing a Flock cam on a public road next to his house...
...so Flock called 3 POLICE OFFICERS to pull over THE REPORTER for following them
Yep, you read that right... the surveillance camera company called the cops because someone was surveilling them install surveillance.
The reporter's name is Brendan Keefe.
He's a national investigative reporter who has been digging into Flock and police abuse of its surveillance network since January.
Flock happened to be upgrading a camera about a mile from Keefe's own house, so he parked at a distance, put out his press placard, put on a yellow vest, and pulled out a news camera.
The Flock installer saw him, packed up his ladder, jumped in his vehicle, and took off.
Keefe followed several cars back to document the next installation.
The Flock employee picked up the phone and called 911.
"I work with Flock Safety, and I'm getting followed, harassed pretty much, taking videos and pictures."
Next thing Brenden sees are THREE Georgia police cars with their lights on behind him.
"The reason why I'm stopping you is because there is a vehicle that says that you have been following them."
He was released with no charges.
Because he did nothing wrong.
Filming in public is legal in all 50 states.
I’m finally watching Evil Dead Burn for the first time, and I just want to say that there’s no way I’d watch my father actively killing my spouse, or anyone for that matter, and then be scared to pull the trigger. Joseph was useless.
Marc Lamont Hill tore into Robert Kraft’s defense of barring Macklemore from Gillette Stadium, saying that treating“Free Palestine” as anti-Jewish echoes claims that Black Lives Matter was “anti-white.”
Hill also explained how Kraft’s language about “innocent Palestinians” draws a line between Palestinians deemed worthy of sympathy and those who resist occupation: “They admire the ones that don’t throw the rock.”
“The oppressor acts reasonable by saying, ‘Let’s split the pie.’ But it’s not your pie… every time I say, ‘How are we going to split the pie?’ I take another slice.”

She cooked him. You cannot bomb them forever just incase they have ambitions to create a nuke. You're literally proving why they need them. If they were nuclear armed they wouldn't be under siege.

When you make it harder to access abortion, women die.
Fact.
Now Texas Republicans are trying to hide the data so voters don’t find out until after midterms.
I’d love to understand how Facebook PMs mapped their customer journeys because how do you go from a platform that connected family and friends to suggested post hell with random accounts? My feed is 85% random people and rage bait accounts.
The Grammys changing its country category after Beyoncé won looks even more egregious when you remember they selected Macklemore’s album over GKMC for Best Rap Album. Where was the category change following that bs???
Huey P. Newton said, “I do not expect the white media to create positive Black male images.” A white woman strangled her three children to death, and yet the lone Black male juror who refused to acquit her is now being cast as the problem. She is given context, sympathy, illness, and complexity. He is given suspicion.
She committed the violence, but he becomes the villain for refusing to excuse it.
Here’s something Black folks have long understood, in the United States a Black man does not need to commit violence to be treated violently.
@everytimeigoout Since it was a transplant, I’m assuming that may be just the natural color of her hair. At one point she said she was done using pomades, but idk if that’s still the case.
