It's deeply regrettable that both sides of the political spectrum are so caught up in their particular narratives that they can't see potential erosion of civil rights that these law enforcement techniques bring about. On parts of the left, segments are grateful for these technologies because they allow for the arrest of individuals who they perceive as having attempted to overthrow democracy. Segments of the right are blinded and can't focus on the means and methods undertaken by law enforcement because they can't overcome their rage at what they perceive as an overblown and partisan response to the events of the riot.
