"Donald Trump told the military, We're under invasion from within. Who exactly are these invaders? Peaceful protesters? Journalists? Woke people? Democrats? Mr. President, please read your job description. It can be found in the U.S. Constitution. You are a public servant. The American people are not your enemy. We are your charges and your employers. A majority of us disapprove of your performance, and virtually none of us want to live in a police state."
"Donald Trump's speech to military leaders Tuesday bolsters my belief that he sees many of his own people as his enemies. He announced his determination to straighten them out one by one, referring to American cities. And he is fighting a war from within. Having established his willingness to take over on the city level, do we still think it's prudent to allow the city of San Jose to have cameras tracking its residents?"
Donald Trump told military leaders that the nation is under invasion from within, and suggested using dangerous cities as training grounds for military drills. San Jose residents express alarm that such rhetoric frames protesters, journalists, woke people, and political opponents as enemies and risks creating a police state. Concerns center on existing and expanding surveillance: license plate readers, mobile 360-degree hotspot cameras, private and business camera access, and increasing red-light and speeding cameras, with about a third of traffic cameras already accessible to law enforcement. Calls follow to remove cameras to prevent misuse and safeguard civil liberties.
