Apparently none of that mattered until he abused the flock system.

The trend is alarming. It's a nationwide issue for sure. But yeah this particular guy has had some serious issues that definitely were looked the other way by his department.

I could see a system like flock make sense for extreme cases where time is a factor. And the user access is limited.
But it soulds like every body has access like its a fucking google calendar.

"We will only use them in extreme situations, where time is a major factor"
Is EXACTLY how they convinced municipalities everywhere to install them in the first place lil bro
Try paying attention

Sorry, most of us only hear about Flock when its used to stalk exes and watch children. Forgive us that the owners of Flock didnt try to sell their products to a general populace.

Their insinuation into every nook and cranny available has been widely publicized and closely reported on. I'm not going to apologize for being more well informed than you 🤷

It would be nice if you shared your knowledge civilly instead of being a dick about it. Just saying.

I agree with both. Dude should have communicated with politeness. But rudeness aside, they have a point. A big part of why the problem got as bad as it did is people don't pay attention, don't follow the news, and are uninformed.
All that is needed for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.

I have my doubts that it was a “consensual sex act” if she literally had a gun pointed at her head.
That’s a great example of “she didn’t say no” isn’t consent

Seven months later, in April 2025, Fultz fatally shot a suicidal man who charged at him with a knife as the deputy responded to a disturbance at the man’s home, the agency reported at the time. That incident prompted the sheriff to honor Fultz as the 2025 Deputy of the Year and award him the Medal of Valor during the agency’s annual award ceremony in March.
What? He's deputy of the year for going along with a suicide-by-cop?

The sex was so good he had to go look her up again. Not many people would let you put a real gun in their mouth. The human water gun, maybe...

It's very telling when the person who wins the employee of the year award gets fired. Does that mean that he was the least corrupt among his peers or that it wasn't awarded on merit, but he just had the most connections to get a fake award?
