    As someone that’s been stalked twice before the flock cameras are terrifying. I’ve always been taught to keep my head down and avoid attracting attention but it just seems inevitable these days that someone is going to do this.

    I’m always so amazed to read these stories and then see absolutely zero response from Americans

    This single story alone should cause people to protest in the streets until at least the prosecutors are fired for corruption and this guy jailed

    Yet, crockets, this is just another day in another town in the USA

      The media is lying by omission, and you are believing them. Or you are being paid to spread defeatism online. Which is it?

      If you’re indoctrinated from childhood that you have achieved ultimate freedoms, the concept of fighting for said freedoms feels not just alien to you, but completely disconnected. You can’t even understand that you, an American, need to do something. It’s like explaining to a fish that water isn’t a universal constant. Except, this time fish was never actually in the water and is currently being deep-fried.

    An internal audit revealed Eder used police databases to monitor the victim over a five-month span.

    Eder turned himself into the Potter County Jail and was released on a single, $4,500 bond for all 78 charges combined.

    $4500 for 78 charges?? People get higher bail for selling weed.

    Though APD fired Eder on July 17, prosecutors officially refused to move forward with felony stalking charges in the case.

    Typical, they are looking out for their own.

    Because of that legal classification, the victim said the county attorney’s office initially told him it would be difficult for him to access standard victim advocacy services.

    WTF??

    off-duty access of active body cameras was not an unusual practice within the department.

    Why the hell not?

    Flock is not going to be meaningfully regulated until a cop deletes a whole family in a public way.

    I would not be surprised if a cop had already done so privately and it’s just been covered up.

      99.99% sure that’s happened before, 99.99% sure it will happen again, 99.99% sure the other guy won’t survive. Or will get 50 years in jail (along with the six people closest to him).
