This seems like some sort of bait style "news" that hurts the very real awareness of issues with flock. It is not only normal but standard practice for a company to try to get users to evangelize its products. I am not pro FLOCK.

You're not wrong, exactly, but also people are justifiably mad at flock's existence and as a result articles like this get written.

Perhaps there is a perfect world where every article is "better" than this, but this one doesn't seem so bad.

Finding out the battle plan for your opponent and finding ways to attack their strongest points is absolutely valuable in public policy debate.

I'd rather have this information available vs not if I found out my city council was about to lay out money for this trash service. Of course I understand the cops are driving the issue, but knowing how to cut their legs out from under them is helpful.

Remember when all the republicans told us we needed to let school shootings happen because the second ammendment was so important because it would protect us from stuff like this?

GTFOH with that counter-rational drivel. Accidents and mass murder aren't equivalent just because both can result in death.

City councils represent all the people of the community, not just the police department or a private company. The problem will solve itself in one election cycle as people vote out the candidates that Flock swayed.
