Flock CEO Calls Critics Terrorists

Flock is not just fighting criticism here, it is escalating it. That may play well with some police customers, but it is a high-risk stance for a company selling always-on surveillance infrastructure.

• –The email chain frames critics as organized activists and says Flock is “under coordinated attack.”
• –Staunton’s public response directly contradicts Flock’s narrative and signals reputational damage.
• –The company’s defensive posture is likely to amplify concerns about transparency, privacy, and data handling.
• –For a public-safety product, calling opponents extremists is a brittle strategy that can backfire quickly.
