Is It the Technology That's Changing the Police Landscape?

The surveillance and intelligence that came to a head with operation safety innet are still being id to activists to day. I think the t of police we want in the united states needs to be a public conversation, and i think technology is one part of that story. It seems to me like it's fair to note that cops have been watching protests for as long as there have been protests,. What is it that you think makes this so fundamentally different?
