Hey @glangley — I was the head of design for connected devices at Axon when we did the deal with @Flock_Safety.
What you may not know is that our CEO, Rick Smith had met with Vigilant, the ALPR leader at the time.
During the demo, their team pulled up a random Axon employee’s car from the parking lot and showed the Axon leadership everywhere that car had been.
I wasn’t in the meeting, but I’m told Rick immediately kicked them out of the Scottsdale office.
You can make a good case for officers (hell, even politicians) wearing body cams because it empowers citizens to watch the watchers.
Flock offers no such benefit.
You’ll likely justify the surveillance state you’re helping create with platitudes of a “safer society”.
But America wasn’t founded to be safe.
America was founded to be FREE.
Flock is much more compatible with totalitarian countries like China or the UK, and I wish you great success there.
As Benjamin Franklin famously summarized America’s ethos of rugged individualism:
"Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Now kindly get the flock out of America.
They call them “data centers”.
But what they really mean is…
Deep inhale.
“What we’re building is the infrastructure for large-scale surveillance and a future where nearly everything is tracked, monitored, and confined to a digital system by 2030…”
Exhale.
IDF officers laughing as little Gazan toddlers shake with their legs blown off. Israelis shooting a 4-year-old girl in the street and mocking her brother for trying to save her.
This is why they bought big corporate media, social media influencers, and Tik Tok.
They kept authentic footage from Gaza hidden from Evangelical Christian America and flooded the media and social platforms with fake propaganda showing “See! Everything is fine over there!”
They knew that if any Jesus-loving Christian saw the truth and the reality of the horrors in Gaza, they would know this is not a “chosen” people by God but an extension of the satanic kingdom.
The Jesus I serve loves the little children. Christian America was lied to and deceived. America needs an exorcism from the demon called Israel.
Any member of Congress who votes yes today on the KIDS Act—empowering the government at parents’ expense and turning every American into a surveillance target—should be removed from office.
You need to realise how insane it is that Thomas Massie - a highly-loved 8 year incumbent - was unseated by a random guy no one knows who didn’t do debates, just because Israel/The Epstein class wanted it.
Thats the level of control they have.
More money is being spent to defeat @RepThomasMassie than any other U.S. House member in history.
Not because he can single-handedly change legislative outcomes—he has just one vote.
But because he exposes the lies and corruption of those who hold political and financial power.
It’s sad that a week before this election people are making false and unsubstantiated allegations about me in an obvious attempt to influence the outcome of this election.
All of the claims of inappropriate conduct are false. I’ve never offered anyone money in exchange for their silence. I report all of my farm income, including cash, to the IRS.
There are no ethics claims filed against me, nor have there ever been any claims filed against me in my 14 years in office. I have consulted legal counsel and we are considering all options.
I'm not doing hantavirus.
I'm not doing Ebola.
I'm not doing bird flu.
I'm not doing swine flu.
I'm not doing SARS-CoV-3.
Put Tony Fauci, Ralph Baric, Peter Daszak, Tedros Ghebreyesus, and Bill Gates in jail and all of these fake threats to public health will suddenly disappear.
@AlextheAdm1ral Sad to see them lean into espn of all people. Would rather just pay a few bucks to stream in the cw app itself. $40/mo for ESPN’s garbage is insane. Just a desperate cash grab from all the awful overpaying they’ve done for leagues and SEC etc..
@RyanoH70 Fixing NASCAR is so incredibly easy if they’d just give up on this nonsense crusade to gain casuals and focus on their core fan base. Casuals provide zero longevity. Fix the car. Fix the racing. Stop letting moronic tv execs dictate things (stages.. playoffs.. garbage broadcasts)
@AlextheAdm1ral The magnitude of people that glaze the next gen car and its subpar racing is almost more astounding that how bad the next gen car actually is… the one thing it did well (1.5s) has now even also lost luster. Just boring races every week. Awful broadcasts.
Grabbing a bite to eat, stop at historic downtown
See plaque commemorating key buildings from 1800’s
Post office, Train station and general store
Think about the struggles and sacrifices of the generations before that built this city and our society
Look up to see what the historic buildings are now
Boutique, Escape room and Vape shop
