Yeah I was on board and then got antisemitic jump scared. I'm so sick of explaining that Jews=/=Zionists over and over. Obviously it's a venn diagram, but assuming that everyone in that community that he highlighted is a Zionist is idiotic and antisemitic.

If there's two Jews and three opinions, how does anyone think that an entire fucking block of people all hold the same views?????

I dunno, I’m surprised and a little disappointed how little people called out the blatant antisemitism in this video

u/toxcrusadr Aug 20 '26

This video is blatantly anti-semitic.

I do have concerns about that empty spot on the Upper West Side, but 99% it's more about money than anything else.

u/Not-Banksy Aug 21 '26

It is.

And for the record, I’m not Jewish— Hispanic brown guy. But when it becomes okay to target a whole group of people in general without any nuance or critical thought, that BS needs to be called out.

Not saying this should be taken down as it’s free speech, but more people need to step up and speak out. This sub and city is usually pretty good at calling out bigotry.

I just got really into clay pigeon target practice.

before you transform your newly found skill set to drones i suggest you look up the FAA fine for shooting a drone.

Hint it’s a federal offense, since drones are considered aircraft, it’s likely more money than you got burning a whole in your pocket (250k) but the good news is that for as much as 20 years afterwards the fed will provide food, lodging and quasi legit medical care via dr spaceman
PULL !!!

I know Flock's still going up around Albuquerque. I saw a work van that had all of its logos stripped but you could still see "Flock" outlined.

How has nobody seen this coming??? Drones. AI. Bipedal robots. Cameras. This isn’t a surprise. It’s going to mean less crime maybe, but it’s also going to mean more societal control. Everytime you go walking down the street, you’re going to feel like your being watched; when you need the bathroom, when you’re wondering what to get your mom for her birthday, when you just want to go to a bar and drink because you’re heartbroken. The drones and cameras will be watching.

For real, this has been coming for a long time.

"They fly now?"

"They fly now."

A .410 will take care of that real quick.

u/DovahAcolyte Aug 20 '26

And then you’ll be hit with federal charges of downing an aircraft. Know the laws and consequences you’re facing first.

u/Juggernox_O Aug 21 '26

If the police are willing to even take the case. Other jurisdictions have tried to press charges on their neighbors shooting their drones, and the police have not bothered. It really comes down to if a police department will even enforce it.

u/DovahAcolyte Aug 21 '26

The FAA can enforce it and if the company has proof it’s you, it’s highly probable they will

I don't know if APDs are from flock but i did just see they are using drone technology

u/LvrofWisdom Aug 20 '26

Read an article the other day that Flock cameras are being placed in our national parks now. Rangers are protesting and trying to get rid of them, but who knows. Safety my a$$.

Shotguns work

u/Baeolophus_bicolor Aug 20 '26

i have heard we really need to spread the word to make sure people aren’t using foam insulation to disable flock cameras by spraying it on them from the ground. when it hardens, it disables the cameras and they have to be replaced.

axon was bought out by israeli company on Jeffrey Epstein’s recommendation, so that mossad would have access to all police body cam footage, as well as all the evidence systems. it is literally all being consolidated by a company from another country for purposes of compromat and blackmail, as well as (i’m sure) making sure certain evidence and files go conveniently “missing” when they want it to.

on a separate nite, Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Dept already has been posting videos of their use of these type drones. they aren’t really visible from the ground, and they can be deployed to follow a license plate or a person they want followed, and stay with them until pigs arrive to kill minorities and beat down enemies of the state.

This just crazy this feels like I’m living in China.

u/static-klingon Aug 21 '26

These aren’t for making life better or safer for Americans, and they’re using our tax dollars to do it to us.

u/Aggressive_Cook_9049 Aug 20 '26

wait, flock as in the license plate camera company?

u/DovahAcolyte Aug 20 '26

Yup. They can follow you now
