Followup:
So bodycam systems usually use a docking station/kiosk for anywhere from 1 - 100 cameras each (most average a couple dozen each). When not in use they are charging and copy video. Most kiosks have you retrieve video from it right there through a clunky interface that only certain people are trained for, for obvious reasons. Long term storage can be anything, from more storage in the kiosk up to an offsight datacenter with NAS banks.
There is considerable customization that can be done, so without knowing exactly how they engineered their setup, it is difficult to the extreme to calculate the effort needed to retrieve footage from thousands of bodycams. Their 1,000 hrs of footage estimate seems juvenile. The events lasted for hours, lets say 6 hours. If 5,000 cops wore cameras, that 30,000 hours of footage.
Not defending them, just saying, I have some knowledge of video retrieval, and it's not like in the movies where you hook up an external hard drive and download the files and you're good.
It astounds me that people don't think for 30 seconds befor railing about not getting data fast without considering just how much data they are asking for.
Depending on which system they are using, it can take a day to retrieve 3 days of video from one camera. Not only does the system have to keep recording and serving up live video for current monitoring, but also deal with the data streams pulling up archived video.
I'll make a couple assumptions here based on a typical retrieval, but I'm assuming judicial watch's request was for all footage for the day of January 6 they have available at and around the capitol. Sounds reasonable right? Well, when all request comes in, you can't just say, OK I'll find what's pertinent in the time frame and send that. Nope, it means everything, including the dead video where nothing happens or is on screen.
You also have to pull it in a timely manner. It may also be stored on different brands of equipment that all work different (billions go into liberal pockets, not actually upgrading/unifying equipment). All pulled while the system is supposed to continue working while video streams are going out to record, and you pray the system doesn't lock up or crash.
To pull and store the raw footage, is going to be Terabytes to Petabytes of video, and depending on format may have to be files no larger than an hour each (mp4 format is notorious for not playing once the file size gets too large). So say there is only 1,000 cameras, including body cams. That is 24,000 hours of footage depending on quality and other settings, lets just say that is 1GB per hour/file. So that's 24 TB of raw footage. Then you need audio, Metadata, the program that indexes and searches, video player, etc. If you don't have an up to date software setup, plus you dont want to waste manpower to do this, this is months if not years of manual recovery, considering all the systems you have to manuver through.
Even with a decent sized team and the right software, this could take a couple/few weeks to get everything.
1.5 million sounds excessive, but depending on what equipment they use, that may just cover their costs for manpower and a server+viewing equipment needed to make the video presentable/searchable. It also may or may not include analytics/ai search.
That's what I'm thinking. If theyre provoking to provide cover, that old playback just doesn't work. What are they doing this for really? Are they just that stupid, they HAVE to keep on script even though everyone else has stopped the production?
See, that is where i get confused. If putin launches nukes, who do they think will be the first to get hit?
Do they really think they're safe? Even if he doesn't nuke, conventional bombs will still take them out, or the hyper sonic missiles shot right to EU leadership's offices.
This is beyond poking the bear stupid. It doesn't really make sense. WW3 most likely won't be conventional, so it's not just depopulation this time, it destroys huge swaths of the planet.
Only way this makes sense is literally if the devil is driving it.
"I find either of those designations to be discriminatory and hateful, and I am now filled with fear. I am only phalic leaning, and therefore don't fall into either of those racist categories.
You need to provide a safe space for me to become less fearful. I also want ice cream."

Destruction of innocence. Perversion of what is good and pure. Tainting as many people as possible.
By using the blood of that which is innocent and good, Lucifer creates a contradictory sacrifice to the sacrifice of Jesus, the lamb's blood through which we are saved. Through the bloodshed of the innocent he hopes to condem as many humans as possible, so he will not be alone in the lake of fire. Instead he wishes as many as possible to be in there, suffering with him.
Why does he do this, you may ask? Simply and horrifically, because MISERY LOVES COMPANY.
That is dumb and makes no sense. First of all, if the governor of Texas tried doing that, he'd be arrested or shot by his own cabinet, or by citizens.
Here in America (where you obviously are not from) we have this thing called the 2nd amendment, a right to bear arms, and a duty to protect ourselves from tyranny.
One of the reasons you've never heard of a genocide in the US is because anybody that would be stupid enough to try it would be shot by about a hundred people as soon as he steps foot outside.
Second of all, it wouldn't be Mexico running to stop him, it would be the us marshals, or the National Guard, county sheriffs, state legislature, state or federal courts, u s military, state militia, or even ordinary citizens.
You see, in the USA we have a LOT of checks and balances against genocidal people. At the most, when you want to hurt us, you have to be extremely subtle. That is the problem that we have gotten ourselves into currently.
There's no forfeiting of sovereignty that is a dumb argument and a missapplication of the way it works.
In the case of ukraine, the leadership currently there was put in place by a color revolution. They are not the legitimate government, therefore, they have no sovereignty to give up.
Hopefully, when all this is said and done, a legitimate government will be put in charge of what's left of ukraine, which will still be bigger than what the original components were in the first place, regardless of how much putin may bargain for.
Not quite so fast. Which "average Ukranian" are you talking about? The Donbass ones? The actual Russian ones? The Nazis? (they do have them you know) or the paid actors, of which we have proof of are in great supply.
Historically, did you know Ukraine is actually an amalgamation of many regions/countries pieces/different people? For us to give an ear to the current leadership's complaining about losing territory is asinine.
For one, current leadership is a puppet govt.
For two, the country is comprised of at least 4 distinct people groups, and only one of them is happy with the current govt. At least one or two want out. I'm pretty sure at least one is not objectionable to being part of Russia.
This is not a simple problem as you summarized. They have controlled media, and anyone speaking against their leadership is persecuted or killed. If they are complaining openly on social media, you can all but guarantee it is the approved party line allowed to go out.
This really is about the best assessment of the EU I've read in a while. Given it's history, there really is no other option but to dissolves it, UNLESS they do a DJT and put someone in charge to audit the beast and bring it to heal.
About the only good NATO does is gives the US a dominant military presence in Europe, so we can have influence on the EU by physically being there.
I'm not sure how much value there is in doing this anymore other than to prevent undesirable influence to take our place (aka Islamic/comunist forces).
However, even with that theory the bases failed completely what with the Marxist and communist governments the EU has churned out.
The story spun was that the EU was formed to counter US economic dominance, but even now it is as, or more, corrupt than the UN, so not much reason to keep that going either other than to prevent outright war, and they won't even do that.
TL;DR, We should probably quit NATO and leave Europe to their own stupid ways.
Or make them states, like Canada. 😁
His motivations are irrelevant. If he is too short sighted to see what this bill does strategically and forgo his TDS, he is acting no better than the dems.
The only other reason to vote against it is to stop the changes Trump is there to do.
I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Best case he didn't think it through when he attempted to log jam the whole government restructuring. Mainly because the alternative is, he is in bed with the cabal.
