yes! keep in mind that IF they wanted to, the cities could have deployed all of their crowd control technology days ago. they want the rioting and looting to go on.Meanwhile :
The surveillance tech has reportedly been deployed across the US as protests sweep the country following the death of George Floyd.

"A Twitter feed titled "Minnesota Contact Tracing" revealed how police are using contact tracing to identify and arrest protesters. "Minnesota Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington says they've begun contact tracing arrestees."

The long, ugly history of how police have tracked protesters
From lanterns to mail monitoring to Wi-Fi, surveillance technology has long been used as a means to find and combat dissent—particularly dissent by communities of color.www.fastcompany.com
"While much of our attention has rightfully been focused on the violence used against our fellow Americans, most of whom are simply exercising their constitutional right to dissent, many have overlooked how technology is fundamentally reshaping how demonstrations are monitored. Police have used everything from Predator drones to facial recognition to track protesters, relying on tools developed for overseas wars to police dissent here at home."
Of course it's the right time to test the new gadgets that governments granted themselves the right to use 'temporarily' because of the covid crisis.
we will scream for order and security and we will get more surveillance cameras and other hi-tech crap to track us and later round us up. we have to be careful what we wish for.
