    “This is a chilling statement,” he told Mother Jones. “Even if it were a joke, it was clearly designed to make the public afraid to exercise its First Amendment rights to protest and to hold government officials, including LAPD officers, accountable for their actions.”

    Fuck this timeline. Resist. They don’t have enough people to get to us all unless we are compliant.

      This is incorrect. They absolutely have enough people to monitor the feeds for detected people and collect people up individually after the fact, which is exactly what the speakers/statements are alluding to.

      This is why “AI” bullshit is bullshit. This is why cameras on literally every traffic light is bad. This is what a lot of people have been screaming since 9/11. With the TSA and other organizations collecting information all willy nilly.

        Yeah… There is no such thing as privacy or security. It’s already game over for human rights like that. They need each citizen to be their product in which they can buy sell and profit off.

        The roosters at that cop city place in Georgia said they started getting harassed and followed by the police. The police and feds works the same as street gang pressure. It’s basically legal modern Mafia… In fact they even have used the mafia for themselves.

    Remember the government will profile you and harass you until you become the image they profiled you as.

    It can get cold if you’re protesting at night, so don’t forget to keep warm by wearing a face covering 😊

    I was a juror on a trial where a camera was used to record a purported crime from a helicopter. The camera quality was no joke, I could make out the individual buttons on the guy’s shirt. I don’t doubt they could ID people from the chopper.
