No one living in a city should become helplessly stranded just by going to the grocery store...
Mrs. American Fietser just rode her bike to the store. When she came out to load groceries on her bike, (at 7 months pregnant, mind you), she was approached by this lady, clearly needing help.

If your city is suspending or cancelling #Flock, remember that "switching to another #ALPR vendor" is NOT the solution.
Dragnet bulk data collection is the core problem. #Flock is just one particularly egregious example.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

'In limiting spending on long-term housing to just 30 percent of the $3.5 billion in aid — from about 90 percent this year — the Trump plan would deal a crippling blow to a movement called Housing First."
This is far worse than anyone expected.
Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.
All as mass internment camps are being built.
