I see no justification for a police response to looting and burglaries that don't threaten anyone's immediate safety.

People are literally freezing to death in their homes and cars right now. Go rescue them!! No one cares about a 7-11.

This is really gross. People are taking basic necessities like toilet paper and water. In a neighborhood where most residents can't afford to stock up on those things.

And the cops' attitude is just...🤢🤬Zero empathy for what people are going through.

First responder heard over the scanner just now,

"There's a lotta refugees on this street. You'd think we live in freakin' Africa or something."

Who's recording the scanner? I need an audio of that clip immediately.

When the storm clears, I'm gonna need Buffalo to start asking questions.

Why were emergency communications only in English?

What attempts - if any - were made to warn our newcomer neighbors before the storm?

What role did racism play in priorities and decision-making?

It seems to me, the city loves hyping "diversity" when it's bringing in the subsidies but hasn't done much of anything to protect and serve immigrant communities.

*All* Buffalonians deserve responsive, respectful care from first responders & authorities.
