Current Events > GIS scientist in Florida has house raided by the cops, guns pointed at her kids.

(+) Yeah! (+)

GIS (Geographic Information System) scientist Rebekah Jones got some notoriety after she was kicked out of the FL Dept. of Health for not tweaking data to satisfy Florida's plan to reopen back in May. She has since been producing her own COVID tracker for the state.

I wonder if the new world order and Hollywood elite conspiracy theorists will speak up on this act of terrorism by the government. They really are not above threatening children and harmless citizens.

I don't understand what "crime" she committed. why were they there?

Releasing info the Governor didn't want released. Cops literally could have shot her and there wouldbe no real penalty.

Lame. That doesn't warrant drawing their guns. And aiming at her kids is inexcusable

Do you think that it's standard procedure for the police to enter and secure houses while serving warrants without weapons drawn?

You think it's standard procedure to have a personal bully squad sent to your home to intimidate and accost you for daring to share information that could save lives?

They shouldn't have even been there. She did nothing wrong

Unlike most people, it seems, I actually require more than her saying "DeSantis is behind this!" before I am going to run with the assumption that DeSantis enacted a wide reaching conspiracy to go after this woman in this manner.

She was served a warrant related to unauthorized access to the DOH emergency messaging system, not "stating the facts."

According to officials shes illegally obtaining her data from DOH servers.

She could have...accessed the DOH emergency messaging system after her authorization to do that was revoked?

She was literally fired for stating the facts and not BSing Floridas numbers so they could reopen sooner.

The governor literally claims that someone with a PhD in this field of data isn't a data scientist. She's also dragging this woman as she stands next to Mike Pence. So yeah, the rest of us can put two and two together. As someone who also studies GIS, the governor is high off her ass.

Clearly the republicans and the police have earned the benefit of the doubt over the last few years. Fuck off bootlicker.

I know that he's talked shit about her. Talking shit about her and establishing a wide reaching, multi-agency conspiracy to target her are pretty dramatically different things, if you aren't aware.

So then why does she feel the need to discredit such a qualified data scientist? She's throwing wild accusations and hoping they stick because she knows she fucked up.

i slid into the dms let's see how this goes

She didnt file a formal whistleblower complaint?

Gestapo shit

Because he's a piece of shit trying to BS his way through the shitty corona response, like most right wing elected officials currently are. I don't know if some of you think that I'm saying this because I think DeSantis is awesome or something, he's obviously not, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to gleefully lap up any multi-agency conspiracy theory that's thrown out with literally no more evidence than somebody saying "he's behind this!"

Well many sources report she was fired for refusing to manipulate data, not the reason you're claiming. What reason do you have to believe a corrupt pile of shit over a data scientist trying to spread accurate information about the pandemic?

Giving data that the public should know isn't a crime. It's why we have freedom of the press.

She wasn't fired over a claim of unauthorized access, and I haven't claimed that she was. That is what the warrant that was served was related to. It doesn't seem like you really know what's going on here.

It seems like you just want to be as technically contrarian as possible just to feel superior to other people. A real shame you just can't use a little critical thinking to put together what actually happened here. The flags are everywhere and you're being purposefully obtuse just to "ackshully" the topic.

It's not "critical thinking" to blindly assume wide ranging inter-agency conspiracies with no evidence.

She was no longer employed there and thus no longer receiving insider information. She was using her own personal COVID tracker, allegedly.

You keep saying "wide ranging inter-agency conspiracies" as if this involved anyone other than the governor, her department, and the law enforcement. This isn't a far-fetched conspiracy no matter how badly you want it to be.

Hey I know let's get all mad and defensive over something that at this point is largely speculation one way or the other

If your argument is down to the point of "well I don't consider the Governor's office, the Department of Health, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the State Attorney's office, and at least one judge to be wide ranging when it comes to conspiracies" then I guess we're done here.

And if your argument is trusting Trump shills over scientists we are absolutely done here.

I am trying real hard to imagine what rational explanation there is for this warrant to have been served with guns drawn when she is obviously not a threat

But im coming up blank

You are. You do it in a lot of other topics. It's not a bad thing, but it's noticeable.

And if doubting politicians who are trying to silence scientists makes me sound ridiculous, I guess I sound ridiculous.

The person from the DOH who filed the report is a Trump shill? And the people who investigated the claim are Trump shills? And the State Attorney who signed off on moving forward with charges? And the judge that signed off on the warrant? And the cops who are serving it?

Do you see how many assumptions you are already making here to make your conspiracy fit so easily?
