🇮🇳 A crowd attacked and damaged an electricity transformer in India after a cow was electrocuted by it

This is how fast it happens.

While crews were responding to the Gann Fire, a new column of smoke appeared. Crews moved in quickly, bringing dozers, aircraft, and firefighters to the fire before it had a chance to grow.

Dozers cut containment lines. Aircraft dropped retardant and water. Firefighters attacked from the ground. The Gelding Fire was stopped at 3 acres.

For a videographer, getting to capture those first moments is rare. For firefighters, this is the everyday work of keeping wildfires small.

Gang-related shootout in South Sacramento.

>Did a bit of research on this yesterday. This shootout happened right in front of a Flock camera.

There are 17 other flock-style cameras within a one mile radius of this event. The police have zero suspects, and have made zero arrests almost four days later. Some are owned by Motorola, some are owned by Flock Safety, and some are owned by Axon.

@Flock_Safety and like-minded systems are not about protecting citizens or enforcing the law. They are an attempt to nationalize the HOA system to increase non-tax related revenue from minor infractions in complete violation of every American's 4th Amendment right.

Your local government doesn't seek to take criminals off of the street. It seeks more money from your wallet now that taxation has reached its natural cap, and the "ALPR" system is how they've elected to increase revenue from fines.

This will become more insidious when city governments start selling off that revenue to foreign nations for fast budget bumps, like when Chicago sold their parking meter revenue over 75 years to Abu Dhabi in 2008.

With a government run surveillance system this large, it should be impossible for crime like this to go unpunished for longer than 12 hours. Since we are not seeing that level of security, we should all believe instead that the system is not about security at all. City and state officials pushing ALPR cameras need to be removed from their office by any means necessary.

Tropical Storm Lala in the Central Pacific is expected to impact the Hawaiian Islands later this week and into the weekend, where Hurricane Watches have been posted.

Flash Flood Emergency out for northern Knott County, Kentucky, covering Mousie, Vest, Handshoe, Bolyn, and the surrounding communities.

Law enforcement has already reported flooding on the ground with 2.5 to 4 inches of rain down and a bit more on the way, so if you're in that area, get to higher ground right now. Please don't drive through flooded roads tonight, it's too dark to judge how deep that water really is.
