oh wow do people not know about how new orleans cops were told they could shoot looters and that nopd committed multiple murders of Black people during katrina
I’ve never understood the “college indoctrination” stuff. In my personal experience my professors are exceedingly tolerant of… questionable viewpoints. One time I had a class where the professor politely engaged a student who kept asserting “Hurricane Katrina was justified”
