That's your prime example of a community becoming safer? The cops droning a mf because he lit a cigarette and some Karen panicked? You're the CEO of the fucking company with like the worst PR and you say this shit.
How does that even change the situation to make things safer? Are they gonna crash the drone into a suspect to diffuse a situation? Unless Flock is advertising domestic drone strikes, then the only feasible deliverables are more spying and more profiling.
"We know cops are racist so we've lessened their load by making our drones racist too."
"Why are they not clapping"
I read it as the drones protecting the civilians from the trigger-happy cops rushing in first.
