    “ At least one law enforcement officer appeared to reach for their weapon before the room relaxed with recognition of the scheduled test.”

    Seriously LEOs, chill the fuck out!

    I mean… good?

    If you had the real deal you would want it to work fine and interrupt, no? Literally seems like the most important place of all to validate “yup, the emergency alert test system works here too”

      Ordinarily, I’d agree. I posted it because the last line in the article caught my attention. Apparently a cop was startled by the test and the officer’s first reaction was to go for their firearm.

    Why are people making such a big deal about this? We’ve had Alert testing for tornado sirens, radio, and tv for decades.

    Usually this means something big happened that someone is wanting covered up. Makes me wonder if something big happened in one of the Trump cases or Congress.

        Why don’t you agree? There very been coverups with news stories for a long time.

        Like how in 2014 Ebola was all over the news and was suddenly pulled from news coverage the day after the election. Other times there are random stories taking over the news and I looked into what was happening in Congress and the Republicans were pushing a bill that would be detrimental to the people of the US. Just as Fox uses smoke and mirrors with rage-baiting to entrance their viewers.
