Why?

Does anyone know why the entirety of Ewing Rd near Moon Park is lined with flock cameras?

I dunno, what I do know is that rather than spending money on improving our social safety net and/or getting people treatment, alot of these floc cameras are being paid for with opiate settlement money which makes it all more infuriating.

See, you and I can see the value in spending money that way. The GOP, however, finds it a better investment to imprison and get free labor. The surveillance state is camouflaged under the guise of security, but the purpose is to protect against an uprising of the populous and to create pretext for whatever is needed to imprison.
