I’ve spent so much time being taught and teaching communicators and spokespeople to check sources, use accurate information, not to speculate. All of it to end up watching white tech bros spew the most delusional BS across all airwaves. An incredible feeling.

we need to meet with our local sheriffs and police chiefs now, to try to move them to the idea of protecting residents.

i know some folks feel all of law enforcement is the enemy, but i think we have to try to get the locals to understand, feed them the thoughts and data and requests early.
