Agenda Behind the Facial Recognition Tech Used by ICE and the FBI Revealed

So a journalist at Mother Jones is shocked, but did anyone here on HN not predict this strategy long before Trump got his 2nd term?

Sadly this prediction could have been generalized to the US executive branch regardless of the most recent election. It's more of the same from what we've seen in the past, Democrat and Republican leader alike.

Far be it from me to interrupt your both-sides deflection but I’d like to ask you to cite any report in the recent past when democrats have called for the arrest or use of violence and/or the military against protesters

The trick is to call them something else. The January 6 protesters come to mind, but since they actually threatened the lawmakers - not just random proles - they aren't called "protesters". Conversely, make sure the BLM folks are definitely not called rioters, even if you have to call them "fiery but peaceful" protestors.

Insurrectionists are not protestors.

> The trick is to call them something else

If it's politically expedient, that is. For one thing, they were far less violent than the BLM protesters. Yet one group is called 'protestors' and the other 'insurrectionists'.

Didn't they kill one police officer? Or was it two? In a single afternoon?

Please tell me how many police officer did the BLM protesters killed per day, just to confirm how violent they were.

If you go look it up, it was zero, IIRC. Don't believe everything you're told.

How many arsonists were among the j6 folks?

You’re in too deep into the fake conspiracy theories and lies. Please seek professional help and come back to reality
