Flock CEO Apologizes for Calling Activists 'Terrorists'

What has Flock ever done for the US people? At least the Chinese Police State lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty next to the terrible things they’ve done. I’m saying this only part jokingly but one has to wonder where exactly are all the real benefits promised by those sinking the US deeper and deeper in surveillance.

Oh he still thinks they're terrorists, he's just sorry he got caught saying the quiet part out loud.

To be precise, he thinks they're anti-authoritarian, for which "terrorist" is the long-established authoritarian code word.

Garrett Langley wants to watch everyone; kids, parents, everyone. He puts the "sir" in surveillance state.

Activists are not Terrorists.

However, this is a clear case that points to the idea that in damage control, you never apologize. It just creates more news about the situation.

Flock has been useful enough in the Pacific Northwest for car thefts.

I want them removed, however.

American's don't want to live under constant surveillance, inside an open air prison. That idea should not be hard to understand.
