🚨#BREAKING: Somali flag stolen from Buffalo City Hall hours after it was raised for Somali Independence Day.





People destroying Flock Cameras 📷 all over the place. 👀


Tonight myself crispy, and huck planned to go to the river and talk about the 4th of july for a YouTube video. We saw a guy in his 20s who was in the parking lot who just…..seemed down. He was sitting in his car and you could…you could tell he was down… So i asked him if he wanted to walk with us and we were just going to go hangout and film a YouTube video by the river. He agreed to come with, and hung out for a couple hours and we were able to really have some serious conversations. Bud has been really struggling lately, and we let him know we workout regularly locally. He is and has been in a REALLY low state; but we had some great conversations….Hopefully he shows up to local events. We gave him steak, potatoes, and water and he was over the moon grateful….but mentioned many times how hard it was to trust anyone and how terrible the world was again and again. Fantastic reminder of how many men are struggling, and how much men just need a fellow man to rant to, how many men NEED friends. I truly hope we were able to get through to this man. It was a great conversation and a great evening. WAGMI ATS



The Government™ has made an ad about #Palantir, and it's surprsingly honest and informative.

🚨WHAT ON EARTH?!!! Over 100 Flock cameras that were set to "go dark" at the end of June after city council voted to shut them down... ...have bizarrely just REMAINED ON and the police are still using them On June 17, the city council's safety committee voted to END the contract because when they asked police to prove these cameras actually reduce crime, the police could point to only 3 cases that led to convictions. So the city council let the contract expire on June 29th, but then people noticed the cameras were still up... ...because Flock VOLUNTEERED to keep running them for FREE while the city "figures it out." In fact, police confirmed they are still running them to "keep the community safe" and the company agreed to keep the system live, despite the contract expiring. It gets worse. When reporters asked simple questions like... is data still being collected? Do the cameras shut off or keep recording? Who can access what was already stored? It turned out that neither the city NOR Flock would answer. So just to recap: The contract is expired. The elected body said no. Nobody re-authorized it. Flock won't say what it's doing with the data. ...but the cameras are STILL ON and being used by police
