In a brazen act of defiance, vigilantes in Houston, Texas, took down a series of Flock surveillance cameras, spray-painting the devices before planting American flags in their place.

"pretty strange site here, y'all. You can see this camera has been cut down and spray painted over with an American flag on it, and not far away there's another flock camera on the ground as well. HPD says it's investigating this, but so far there are more questions than answers. Cameras acting as an extra set of eyes up high now brought to the ground, their lenses covered in spray paint, an American flag waving on top. But who did this and why? Yeah, I didn't realize that the camera were there until you actually pointed that out. Juan Rodriguez's business, Spar Houston, is located by Washington Avenue and Westcott where this happened. These are flock cameras meant to read license plates and alert police if they're connected to crimes. Rodriguez says he didn't see who did this, but he's left wondering why they did. That's what it sounds like it would be, somebody just protesting. Their rights are being violated or something like that. Flock cameras have been used in the city of Houston since 2021, according to the company. The Houston Police Department tells us they were notified that the cameras were damaged on the morning of July 4th. As far as the repair costs, HPD says it depends on who is responsible for these specific cameras. While some cameras are installed through city contracts, others are done with neighborhoods or private groups that choose to share footage with police. HPD couldn't say who was responsible for these."

The official line is that this $400 million plane is a stopgap until the real fleet arrives in 2028.
But accepting such an expensive "gift" from a foreign power while you’re cutting deals with them elsewhere is like a mob boss accepting a "totally unconditional" envelope of cash from a rival.
