The scariest part is the number of family, friends and neighbors who will see this and think “Cool!”

It's important to be able to "deploy resources" to civil protests.

Absolutely zero reporting or information in that story about the downsides of a police surveillance state. It could've been printed in the FOP newsletter or sent out itself as a press release from the cops. Unreal.

I expect it was a press release.

“Blue Thunder” IRL… (except nowadays Candy Clark would be delivering the video evidence of an assassination to a news network who would take the tape and throw on top of a pile of a thousand similar tapes they already have).

Especially those ‘civil’ protests involving para military militia, organised by groups with uncivil agendas, and corporate sponsors with vested interests?

With their extra vigilance then, we can expect that at the next Election, they will efficiently anticipate and counter measure the insurrection organised by the losing candidate?

We’re one step closer to the opening of The Running Man (film version), though.
