It gives them influence, which is a form of authority - not authority for them themselves to enforce, but authority to influence masses of people to behave a certain way, whether it’s eating tide pods or remaining passive and not helping in the face of clear injustice, potentially even blaming the victim when protestors are beaten.

Do you have older relatives who have seen a revolution in your country? Would you be able to share their opinions?

Thank you very much for sharing your candid views. And thank you even more for being so brave in third movement.

Huh. So my cat was intentionally getting stoned by chewing my growing plants...

Italians rage at peanut butter too, but then make Nutella flavored cream cheese. The Nutella cream cheese was sour and the color of baby shit.

It’s not plausible they were using any training to help - I could believe that their response after the shooter was dead (as nothing excuses the 77 minutes of intentional negligence and obstruction of any help prior to the shooter being killed by some people not on that force seining into action) was the work of panicked, completely untrained idiots with blinders on so badly they can’t look around for an ambulance or consider whether clearing a path for ambulances is a good idea. The fact that no one cowardly waiting around for over an hour while the shooter was shooting kids and teachers thought “hm, I’m unwilling to put myself at risk to breach a door where bullets are flying from, maybe I should go move the squad card so EMS can get in is a travesty and a sign of lack of training, lack of calm situational awareness in an emergency, lack of courage, lack of self awareness, lack of intelligence, and generally being both a shitty cop and useless individual - or worse than useless, in the case of individuals who actively denied access to help and told EMS to go away.
