You’re ‘guessing’ without knowing the facts? 
 

but hey, it’s ‘cool’ to act like public servants always act within our best interests and never try to hide anything shady.

When you’re asked to leave somewhere that doesn’t belong to you, you leave. The news reporter doesn’t own the school. The superintendent is the guy who gets to make that decision and he told the guy he wanted him to leave. 
 

Do you honestly think this guy was singled out? Why wasn’t anyone else asked to leave? It’s funny how with all those cameras there they haven’t shown WHY the guy was told to leave. I’m guessing he was acting like a real donkey and they politely asked him to stop. He continued his stupidity which resulted in him being told to leave. He then refused to leave which causes him to be forced to leave and arrested for trespassing. If you are told to leave a place which is owned/in control of another person you have to leave. Period. You’d be singing a different tune if you ran a business and someone came in acting disorderly, you asked them to leave and they refused. 
 

But hey, it’s 2023 and it’s “cool” to blame the cops for other people’s stupidity.

You might not be wrong, hard saying not knowing.

I didn't really take it as the Cops were the bad guys, I assumed someone higher up the food chain didn't like the questions he was asking and the cops were told to get him outta there.

This seems like a horrible situation that could have some serious long term implications.  Scary shit.

Did I read somewhere that 10% of the US Population relies on the Ohio river in one form or another?

I was going to mention that before but held off. I can't stop thinking about the residents of the town being told to return ,they are being completely ignored. It's clearly not safe or animals and fish wouldn't be dropping dead. I'm guessing nobody will ever see the test results of that river that supplies drinking water for 5 million people.

The video of the whole thing is available. Hard to say he was being disruptive. The cops kind of acted like assholes and it just escalated from there. He felt he was being unfairly singled out. He was there doing his job. Check it out and form your own opinion.

So now we're hearing that it's a company contracted by the train company, that's been testing water and air quality. 

And not anyone from the EPA. 

 

So while people are beginning to become sick, wild and domestic animals are dying, a lame ass pair of local shills in lab coats are standing around telling residents that all is well.

You're all just a bunch of hypochondriacs with head colds. 

 

And the transportation secretary is out bemoaning the fact that it's nothing but white guys showing up to do the work on construction projects. 

 

A side note:

We're seeing the current administration give more resources to criminal illegal immigrants, than lawful American citizens. 

And right before our very eyes. 

But hey, they're shooting down balloons, so it can't be all that bad.

(But remember, they're not space aliens)

I tried finding it on YouTube but wasn’t successful. What I saw was a couple cops politely trying to get him to go outside to avoid further disruptions. One cop was being kinda more direct? Then the lead superintendent identified himself and told him he was telling him to leave. That’s when your arguing should end. At that point, the guy responsible for making decisions for that establishment has told you to get out. When he again refused, now it’s trespassing 🤷‍♂️ it’s really not hard to understand at all. The person who either owns or who is in charge of the venue told him to leave. He has to leave regardless of whether or not he’s right or wrong. Just because he’s a reporter that doesn’t give him special privileges.

You can make it up though, and you did. Maybe the company is also conducting testing (I would sure hope so, anyway) but the US EPA and the Ohio EPA are both very involved. This statement was from Tuesday; I'm sure there is more since then, too.

Good article here, but as a warning to those who want to blame the Biden administration, or subscribe to conspiracy theories that this was somehow intentional to distract us from 'what is really going on', it won't fit your narrative.

All politics aside:

Who trusts what “The Government” is saying/telling the local citizenry versus what those same local citizens are reporting…showing…is happening to themselves and their domestic pets - animals- livestock? 

Btw, it’s now reported -with video- that this train was on fire/dragging brakes over  20 miles BEFORE the derailment.

lol.

From the article: 

"It is too early to say what the long term impacts, if any, of 32N’s derailment will be." Then it goes into a long backstory about how the train system sucks.

Thanks. This absolutely demolishes any concerns the public should have as they are releasing known carcinogens into the air!!
