🚨#BREAKING: An INSANE story is unfolding in Troy, New York where a mayor who overrode her own city council's vote to END their Flock camera contract, by declaring a "public emergency," is now FUMING after citizens began cutting down the cameras!
The female mayor said that cutting down the cameras was "an act of violence..." and is begging the public to help identify who did it.
This is Troy, New York.
Troy's own City Council... the elected representatives of the people... VOTED to stop the Flock contract over privacy concerns.
They ordered the funding withheld.
So what did the mayor do?
She literally declared a "PUBLIC EMERGENCY" to keep the surveillance cameras running anyway.
So just to be clear:
>The people's representatives said end Flock cams.
>The mayor forced them to stay up by declaring an "emergency."
>She's now being SUED by her own city council over it. >The council is so alarmed they're trying to STRIP her power to declare emergencies at all.
And when frustrated citizens finally took a few of those cameras down themselves...
...the mayor called that "violence."
One of the wildest stories I've ever seen...
It’s crazy how you can simply point out that this didn’t used to happen every single summer and armchair environmental scientists will jump in and try to gaslight you into believing that this is totally not a downstream effect of human-induced climate change.
“NOOOOOOO YOU CAN’T PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT CARDS I’VE USED, THAT’S CARD COUNTING!!! USING STRATEGY IS AGAINST THE RULES!!! YOU CAN ONLY USE BLIND LUCK!!! SECURITY!!!!!!!!!”
Unpopular opinion: The fact that they can quickly install data centers nationally means they could've been updating infrastructure which they claimed was too difficult and expensive.
