    I think the flipside to all this is that over time it will legitimately damage the police’s ability to do actual investigative work if all they learn and put into practice is “consult Flock” for every trivial thing. If Flock is damaged or circumvented or comes up empty, what then?

        When the victim is themselves or their preferred clientele, sure. You think they sit on their ass if a cop gets shot during a traffic stop?

      The murder resolution rate in the USA is already very low. Police also don’t have any obligations to protect or serve. They don’t care.
