Piggies are getting scareddddd
Schrag moved to send the resolution to committee and prevent public comment on the issue.
The move passed 5 - 3
Seemed a fair bit of dissent on committee over whether to have public comments, so arresting commenters seemed a little harsh… in retrospect even.
I dont get this. If you dont want public comment you can just vote to not have it? what kind of shit is that?
Schrag ordered citizens to clear the room and shut off cameras recording the event.
Aww, what’s wrong with cameras, Mayor Schrag? Does the idea of being filmed all the time make you feel uncomfortable for some reason?
If they won’t let you voice your opinion in public do it at their house. Don’t let these fuckers feel safe.
Or just in your living room after they place their cameras there
After?.. all it takes is a single LG product! (Or google, or meta or apple or amazon etc)
Russians are getting arrested for calling Putin a dickhead, how is this any different?
It’s not. I won’t be surprised if people start falling out of windows soon too
Lots of people will be facing tribunals when this is over. We the people will not forget the actions of fascists.
Democrats: “Water under the bridge…we need to move forward in the name of unity and not dwell on the past.”
I swear to god if those spineless fucks get wins in November and pull this kind of bullshit I am going to fucking start voting strictly republican until this country is burned to the ground.
I think this was basically the mentality of progressive voters who stayed home in 2024 lmao.
I am a progressive voter and I voted for Bernie in every primary he was in, I voted for the progressive candidate in my district when they were up against the centrist, and every single time when they lost I voted for the fucking centrist who took the slot. It has done literally no fucking good. I think the Democratic party just needs to fucking die if they can’t get their shit together and do what needs to be done.
Thx guess I’ll die then.
When this is over
At the pace Americans are overturning the Trump regime, even Big Balls will be dead of old age before facing a tribunal.
Edit: fixed format.
It’s not going to be over until we end it.
Very true, I agree. For that to happen we need to unite and organize.
When your representatives don’t represent you, shift the focus to who they are representing. Get loud and don’t stop. Overflow the room for every public meeting of any kind. Dominate all public comment. These folks aren’t your neighbors, they are neighbors to the municipal consultants the city pays to draw the master plan. Clear cut your trees, zone for data centers, build surveillance infrastructure, close your public schools, install unnecessary roundabouts and raise your utility costs.
I’m with you on everything except roundabouts. For moderate traffic intersections, they are more efficient than stoplights and stop signs. Opposition to them seems largely confined to those who regard wide arcs and looking left for other traffic as unreasonable demands against their intellect.
Opposition lies in last years $2M roundabout now choosing $10M fort the next 4 they now need to build in a wooded area they want to clearcut for new mcmansions as a giveaway to local demo/construction kickbacks and large out of state homebuilder orgs
Roundabouts are also better for the environment because they reduce fuel usage, and are better for people because they reduce accidents by a non insignificant amount! Not to mention less time stopped looking at brake lights. The only reason to stick with stop lamps is ignorance / space restraints, as I believe the main draw back to rotary intersections is they require a bit more real estate. But then u can put cute planters and shit in the middle so 🤷
I found roundabouts a bit scary when I was a new driver, but now I think they’re fun! Quite a brilliant architectural solution, I think.
You are 100% correct in your evaluation.
Opposition to them seems largely confined to those who regard wide arcs and looking left for other traffic as unreasonable demands against their intellect.
Honestly, I like a roundabout and I can handle them just fine. However. Most of my fellow drivers cannot. There’s a couple near my house. When they were newly installed I was like, OK, people suck at using these things now, but they’re new. That was 15 years ago. People still suck just as much at using them.
If it requires special training and awareness, it’s not a good solution for American traffic patterns.

I think the issue you’re pointing to is that some drivers aren’t good at driving, and that puts others at risk. If that’s the case, I agree; there are a lot of bad drivers on the road, but that’s a problem everywhere, not just in America. I’d say that overall American drivers are, excuse the pun, middle-of-the-road when it comes to safety. Addressing the claim that if something takes special training and awareness then it’s not a good solution: driving in itself requires special training and awareness. Every driver on the road is required to have taken a driving test and receive a state-issued license. But that doesn’t stop people from disregarding rules and breaking laws. Even great drivers will make mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes will have deadly consequences.
We cannot eliminate driver error without removing drivers, which will never happen in places with car-centric infrastructure and culture. What we can do is mitigate risks and reduce the severity of collisions when they inevitably occur. The data show that roundabouts are safer and more efficient than other forms of traffic control, and when collisions do happen, they happen at much lower speeds and oblique angles, which lowers the risk of injury and reduces cost of repairs.
The argument that roundabouts are bad because it means learning how to use them is an indictment against drivers, not roundabouts.
Most accidents happen on straight roads, not roundabouts. My statistics are made up, but they’re probably not wrong.
Good news! All unnecessary roundabouts are gone, how about removing unnecessary traffic lights and install more roundabouts.
Ah yes, “Land of the Free”.
Term and conditions apply.
The cop said, “You’re under arrest,” grabbed her arms, and pulled her out of the room. “I can do this all night. I get paid by the hour,” the cop added.
Using this against the person whose taxes pay his salary is especially telling. He doesn’t serve this community, he abuses it.
He doesn’t serve this community, he abuses it.
Well, duh.
Hes a cop.
They serve nothing but the rich and powerful.
the common folk are just fodder to get their thrills with and express their frustrations on.
Most police officers don’t sign up because they’re good people.
they sign up because they would be unhireable elsewhere, even walmart/amazon wont take these people.
I worked for one of these companies and fired a former cop for racial slurs and anger problems.
Good people don’t make it through police training. The would be good cops are scared off.
And the ones who do don’t last long
Cops like that should be fired and permanently bared from retirement and reinstatement
🤣 then policing wouldn’t exist.
SJW bots post the darnest things.
You can’t remove the slave catchers from the slave catching class🤣
That mayor DOES obviously have a tiny, stinky cock.
From another article:
“I believe that the purpose of public hearings or when there’s actually something of substance, if there’s nothing of substance, it just becomes kind of theater,” Schrag stated
So dissenting opinions on needless surveillance is by definition “theater” and can’t POSSIBLY be of substance, according to this poorly endowed stinkphallus.
We’re there to do the people’s business.
By shutting the people up, says the possessor of an infinitesimal and pungent Johnson.
He said he understands that people have concerns, but has also heard from Springfield Police on the usefulness of the technology.
Big “you may like your civil liberties but they’re bothersome to the SS” energy from he of the malodorous micropenis.
Schrag explains that giving the committee 9 months allows them to look into the full scope of both sides.
Without in any way requiring them to respect the wishes of their constituency, Tiny Toxicpants neglected to add.
just throwing thing, after thing, after thing at staff is not an appropriate way to get results,
Said Schrag, whose own thing can be detected by odor three counties away, but isn’t visible with the naked eye at a distance of one foot.
Look man we get it, his cock STINKS fuckin BAD
It’s also tiny tho. Tiny and stinky.
we get it
You sure I wasn’t being too subtle? I think I might have another euphemism/synonym couplet or two left in the tank if necessary 😉
I could almost smell it through the screen
If cops are willing to follow these orders, they’ll follow any orders.
Getting rid of the politicians and flock isn’t enough. We desperately need to fix our police forces “it’s gonna be hard” ain’t an excuse
Honestly you could probably just nuke their funding and let them bleed out, while also raising up militia to fill the void with a blacklist for cops unless they take certain actions. Ideally the militia would have relatively high standards and would be largely disarmed or otherwise equipped with less than lethal gear for daily patrols.
The old cops would form the organized mafia day one after this decision. Disarmed militia would look silly against that.
I was moreso referring to day to day patrol once things stabilized on the old cops have been dealt with, probably should’ve been more specific but I was firmly in migraine land and still kinda am. No in the immediate the militia should be armed to the fucken teeth as needed, on the rural scale it’d just be a technical or two for dealing with anyone stupid on the more urbanized side it’d be full on hunting the old cops with APCs if they try anything.
Current police departments can’t be reformed. Can’t turn an orange into an apple. They’re rotten from top to bottom and within their very charter.
We’d need to replace the entire concept and everyone currently involved, with a new organization that is from the start intended to serve the people, and not the filthy rich.
“It’s gonna be hard” doesn’t begin to describe the task, because it can’t be done in a vacuum, it would need to be part of a complete overhaul of our entire government.
new organization that is from the start intended to serve the people, and not the filthy rich.
Empathy and authoritarianism are diametrically opposed. No authoritarian will ever side with the people it has authority to exploit. Not comprehending this dynamic, is how your vanguard will always betray you, will always side with the next “rich.”
The solution is horizontalidad. You and I empower each other. No vanguards.
Current police departments can’t be reformed
No.
The department is a building that houses officers and equipment.
You could say the police forces can’t be reformed and we need to do a 100% staffing turnover, and that would be a valid opinion.
“It’s gonna be hard” doesn’t begin to describe the task, because it can’t be done in a vacuum, it would need to be part of a complete overhaul of our entire government.
That’s also not true.
There’s less than 750k cops in America as of 2024.
We’d just have to redesign police academies, require oversight, and then start pumping trainees who pass stricter background checks and qualifications they, then using them to replace existing police.
It’s all very doable and wouldn’t take long.
This isn’t the time for learned helplessness bud, it’s literally the opposite of what we need right now.
If you don’t understand, ask a fucking question. Dont just spit out assumptions and opinions that only convince people it’s not gonna happen before we even try
A department is an organizational structure, not just a building.
And what the other person was saying is that corruption is already entrenched in their leadership hierarchies, in their institutional knowledge, in their academies and instructor schools.
Not an easy thing to fix just by reforming their hiring practices and training…
police work exactly as intended sadly
I love that the woman give the finger and then said, probably not my most shining moment.
No, it is your shining moment!! Give them all the finger when you get arrested!! Hell yeah!!! 🖕🖕🖕
Maybe one of the most important moments of her life
She also said “fuck you”, “you’re a cuck”, and “Jeff Schrag (Mayor) has a tiny, stinky cock”
I liked her already, you don’t have to keep convincing me!
Give them all the finger when you get arrested!! Hell yeah!!! 🖕🖕🖕
First of all, I wholeheartedly concur.
Secondly, it’s very impressive that you feel so passionate about it that you grew a third hand 🤘🏼😄✊🏼
Just tuck the thumbs when flipping the bird.
These cunts live every day without nearly enough fear of being tarred and feathered. That really ought to change.
The only way these flock cameras are coming down legally is if people use the cameras against their local council.
Use the various means to get into the cameras or just set up shop outside their comes and note what time they go in and out of their home. Note their children’s clothes, what school they go to and their car license plate numbers.
Provide print outs and distribute them at the meeting. Be sure to have them for the news people outside.
Council members think they are special and aren’t going to be targeted by Flock. We need to show them that the laws that work for Flock work for us too.
Lol, they’ll just arrest you for stalking.
The laws that work for Flock don’t work for us too.
Florida, of all places, just banned them. I think they see them as a future issue to beat MAGAs with in elections, and they already have Data Centers to protect. How many unsavory issues can they shove down voters’ throats before they choke? Data Centers bribe bigger, so they get saved, while Flock cameras go. They’re only being used by cops to stalk women anyway.
ya but if the poors do it its ‘terrorism’ and when the rich do it it’s ‘war’
or at least thats how it seems
I think it’s worse. When the rich do it, it’s “Law and Order”
Needs to be a day of reckoning.
Why would they have fear? How many people watched this happen in person and did nothing? If anyone there had any balls they’d stand up and not let it happen. I guarantee there were A LOT more citizens than security.
The US was founded on action, not petition signatures of how “upset” you are. Until people actually put their perverbial cock on the chopping block, things will only get worse.
I, too, have unfortunately watched “Antichrist”
The US was founded on action, not petition signatures of how “upset” you are.
I mean, the Declaration of Independence kinda was exactly that, but I know what you mean. :)
The US was founded on action
Yes, the action of losing and running away, repeated until the enemy got tired of beating and chasing us.
I always wonder how many local politicians have been paid off by Flock.
Once it’s used to stalk them and that stalking results in something nasty or scandalous, they’ll care, and cry and whine about how it’s such a violation of their rights.
Cop union is already doing this. Except, theyre only bitching because internal affairs wants to use Flock against their own department, soooooo
Then again - by then Flock is going to have so much blackmail material on so many politicians that it’ll no longer matter whether or not they care.
Fuck flock and all the other companies participating in the digital panopticon!!! Power to the people!!!
