I watched with amusement as the Eugene (Oregon) Police Department tried too hard to spin the crime fighting positives of this whiz-bang technology that they rolled out up to a year ago. Honestly, it was their press releases about it solving this and that crime that caused me to look into it - it was over the top suspicious. I wrote Editor of the Eugene Weekly 3x about it, suggesting they look into it (never got a reply, which I found curuious). Finally, somehow, somewhere, enough pressure was applied and the police canceled their Flock contract.
My weekend lens for the Middle East is to contemplate who among the players benefits from the US and the West being further bogged down in Iran. Who among nation states benefits from provoking Trump to emphasis his leadership and authority by tripling down, maybe blowing up more things, some "maximum lethality"porn. I am sure there are plenty of candidates.
And how about the substance and timing of Melania's bizarre presser?
On top of all that, ICE is using Flock cameras to get immigrant information even though Flock claims they don't work with ICE.
