    There are handfulls of cases before this one. One where a terrified cop was holding children at gun point because flock is useless and said that the car that they owned was stolen. Imagine if flock told the cops they had a gun, or that the kids where black. The cop would of killed kids and this would of been praised by mainstream media saying how flock stopped future crime that hasn't happened yet and won't bebheld accountable. They will go on about how this is an amazing technology, and that unfortunately the cop had to preemptively kill those kids, but it was all for the better of human kind. And if you don't like that youre a terrorist.

    Wasn't there a murder that a homeless man on reddit solved, yet flock could do literally nothing.
