Flock CEO Tells Police Chiefs the Backlash Against His Company Is Fake
In Leaked Audio, Flock CEO Tells Cops Backlash to the Company Isn't Real
Leaked audio from a private police conference reveals Flock CEO Garrett Langley telling an audience of chiefs that nationwide protests against his license plate reader company are not real. He claims social media opposition is driven by paid Russian bots, says his wife advised him never to apologize, and admits he would prefer to stop doing press interviews altogether. Dozens of cities have canceled Flock contracts amid abuse and false arrest scandals.
It’s anonymous bots, and so it is not real. Inorganic activity has led to organic activity, but when I look at protests across the country, it is the same people with the same signs and the same message. That’s not normal. That’s not organic at all.
