After the vote, Councilmember Jeff Flowers, a staunch Flock supporter, said that if people in the town wanted privacy then the city council should basically ban all technology, essentially calling people who did not want government surveillance hypocrites.

Someone is not happy that they could not get their full bribe payout.

They probably already spent the money they were expecting to get.

"You want less surveillance rather than more surveillance? Hypocrites!!"

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 16 points 18 hours ago

That councilmember needs to gtfo. Clearly pissed about not getting a payout like they were promised.

TL;DR - Too bad so sad the people have spoken now STFU or GTFO.
