anarchists attack flock cameras in oakland and sf

some anarchists disabled 75+ flock cameras in oakland and sf (lost count a lil bits). a lot of them got doused with paint, others are totally destroyed and scattered around town. easily reproducible stuff. you can use a fire extinguisher to paint the lens, or climb up streetlights to reach them with a hammer (or tin snips, for the clamp). you can also uproot flock's own poles, from the base, with an adjustable crescent wrench. mask up, and enjoy watching cameras take their last pictures ever!

Beautiful news. I hope to see more of this kind of story come out of the most surveiled places in the world. London, Paris, Chicago, Beijing, where you at?
