Earlier this month JSO responded to growing concerns Jacksonville residents rightfully have for the city’s growing use of Flock Safety cameras.

In a Facebook post, JSO defends its use of Flock cameras stating that they are used as license plate readers to help solve crimes and assist in non-criminal investigations. However, the office does not own these cameras, nor control them, they are simply paying Flock for access to the footage recorded.

JSO claims that footage access is limited, training is required and that the office is strict in ensuring compliance with government policies. They claim that every search is logged and subject to review.

Where have we heard this before?

In a city where body camera footage is buried and edited, where killer cops continue to patrol and harass on our streets, where the sheriff would rather secure the office appearances on tv than hold abusers accountable, increased access to surveillance is not the answer.

Civilian Oversight is.

Shout out theblackbeltdaily for the map of Flock cameras over the Black Belt map.

📚 BLACK AUGUST 2026 📚

Black August is our time to remember, honor and learn from revolutionary leaders of the African and Black liberation movements past and present. Communal study, training, fasting and fighting specifically reminds us of the sacrifices and resilience of political prisoners who have been targets of racist and political repression aimed to curtail The People’s struggle.

The Jacksonville Community Action Committee invites you to join us as we learn together, grow together and fight back together.

🗣️ JUSTICE FOR ASIA BENNETT 🗣️

On Tuesday, August 11, 22-year-old Asia Bennett was shot and killed by JSO as she pleaded for help from officers at the scene.

JSO officers were called about concerns of a domestic dispute. Instead of figuring out what happened that night, JSO officers killed Asia. There is a documented history of abuse in the relationship - Asia’s boyfriend had been arrested and served jail time for battery.

Instead of the so-called transparency guaranteed by T.K. Waters’ JSO, the department decided to villainize Asia for charges that were dropped, withholding, as usual, body camera footage.

The JCAC stands in solidarity with Asia’s family and friends.
We continue to demand a Public Safety Committee, so killer cops do not investigate one another. We continue to demand a Mental Health Emergency Response Team so trigger-happy officers are not sent to calls that require de-escalation, and professional expertise. We continue to demand and end to police violence in our city.

🗣️ JUSTICE FOR RASHAWN KNIGHT 🗣️

Instead of JSO speaking with RaShawn’s mother Egypt about the circumstances of his brutalization by officers and K-9s and his arrest, they decided to go on a press tour and comment on our posts calling for accountability.

JSO’s comments on Instagram, Facebook and their press release play on racist stereotypes about RaShawn’s size in order to try and justify the officers’ treatment of him. JSO uses clipped body camera footage, exposing their violent actions, and captions it as “distraction strikes” and “acceptable policy.”

While JSO’s 6-figure PR team was in our comments, JSO officers have mishandled a mother’s calling in her teenage son’s su***de and shot and killed a woman on a call concerning domestic violence.

JCAC and The People say no more.

From Madison, WI to Jacksonville, FL police abuse, brutality, terror and killings have continued to increase.
Instead of local, state and federal officials holding these violent people to account, cities everywhere are increasingly their police budgets.
