Note the word "activists" in the quote. Activists are not always representative of the communities they come from. Survey data shows that most blacks and Latinos in the US want more policing in their communities. Idk how they feel specifically about the camera question

I'm pretty sure the blacks and Latinos who had their small businesses looted and/or vandalized and/or burned would be all for nice high resolution cameras with enough lumens to identify people (or at least get a really, really good description).

And no, not all small businesses have insurance that covers damage from a riot and/or swarm lootfest with no raised rates or titanic deductible. And even if they did, they might not get covered next year (this has happened to some vineyards in Napa after the recent major fires).
