    Oh, it’s 100% a marketing strategy now.

    My guess is that they simply didn’t have their shit together to build out a national network, and product development incompetence accidentally created a desirable “feature.”

      Axon absolutely has their shit together, they’re just better at manipulating the public than Flock. They managed to invent an entire fake medical condition that is accepted by the courts and public as real, just to avoid consequences from their defective products and false advertising. Look up “excited delirium”.

        Yeah, Flock’s PR has been pretty bad. I don’t know who is leading their media strategy there, but they’re clearly doing some rookie stuff like calling opponents terrorists and whatnot.
