The country needs to find a “compromise” between privacy and safety, according to Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley.

“When people talk about just one of these, privacy or safety, they’re prioritizing the wrong thing, and what we have to prioritize as a country is compromise,” Langley said during a recent interview with Fox News. “How do we have our safety, and how do we balance privacy?”

It's wild, because when I was a kid, there was this huge conservative talking point about how trading freedom for security was bad.

Conservatives are all about freedom until there's profit involved.

Conservatives will say anything to align with the in-group, to hurt the outgroup, or for personal power. They have no internal beliefs beyond those.

Conservatives are liars and thieves who support felons and pedophiles.

Never trust a conservative.
