Los Angeles PD's creepy Orwellian anti-terrorism ad: iWatch

submitted by kronosposeidon

1 decade 5 years 4 months 3 weeks ago

From The Live Feed: Check out the Los Angeles Police Department's creepy new public service announcement for its city-wide anti-terrorism iWatch program. The civilian program was launched earlier this month and is endorsed by 63 police chiefs around the country.

The ad features wide-eyed, blink-free residents reciting Orwellian mantras and looking as if they're about to crawl out of your television like that girl in "The Ring."

So what have we learned by this ad?

We've learned that terrorism is actually a crime. And that if we smell something suspicious, we should report it. Think about the power of that.

"Let law enforcement determine if it's a threat"...that's when I looked up to see if there was a parody tag.

^Truer words have not been spoken. Like "Let's look to the bible to decide..." fucking anything.

Fucking A. Your neighbor is now your informant. A dose of milk of magnesia would help right now. But very little.

TERRORIST EVERYWHERE THEY'RE JAYWALKNG, ONLY TERRORISTS JAYWALK!

I iWatch because I believe I don't need freedoms, only security. Also, I'm a moron.

Who responds? The number of unanswered calls each year by the LAPD is in the 5-figure range.
