So I can warn my neighbors or anyone else who's around that a government secret police snatch squad is prowling the neighborhood. Its awful, it needs to stop.

Following pressure from the Trump administration, Apple has removed ICEBlock from the App Store.

Please, Lord Trump, may I have another?
Those who downloaded it before Cook buckled can still use it.
And yes, a whistle works locally.

(731 posts)3. Exactly, those are for after the fact.
What's been happening recently is they show up, a bunch of goons jump out of their SUVs, grab someone, wrestle them into a car, and then leave. The only thing we can do is blow the whistles and try to gather a crowd to document and (maybe) block them from leaving for a bit. Its better than nothing, but it still feels pretty helpless.

And I separated the car key from the house keys so that if it took multiple hours to get home they couldnt ransack my house at the same time.
