Not only council members, mayors, but neighbors and children.
My own 34 year old daughter send me the video of the old guy in Buffalo, NY striding up to the front line of the police and getting shoved aside. She said “See Dad, this is police brutality. He was just trying to return a police helmet to them.”
I told her things are not always as they seem and she needs to be more skeptical of events and look more deeply. Sure enough, info quickly comes out he is an agitator/activist, was looking to cause trouble, has been arrested four times, was doing electronic scans of the police comms equipment, and probably staged the fake blood out of the ear.
Of course, no response from her.
And therein lies the core issue of the problem.
Once the TRUTH is presented it is then IGNORED.
Scares me and I'm fearless!
