“The morning market has been canceled, with a large number of police, fire trucks, and ambulances. Look at this armed force.” (shows about 30 unarmed blue shirts). “It’s enough to liberate Taiwan and Japan.”
Nope.

BTW, 26 million under quarantine, out of >1.4 billion….that’s well under 2% of the country, @bobknight33. 1800+ cities over 10000 pop., 41 is a tiny fraction.

His personal lack of planning, lack of concern, and total ineptitude caused it. Because he isn't a leader, he shirks responsibility, but the responsibility is his, personally.

And he did it again, 17 more of you chumps were hospitalized for heat stroke/exhaustion after another super spreader rally yesterday. When fire trucks and paramedics showed up to help the people collapsed on the ground, Trump actually suggested they might be the enemy attacking his crowd, saying "lets find out if they're friend or foe, and if they're foe let's take care of this", telling the crowd to attack the first responders who were trying to save their lives if they suspect they might be non cultists... he's so incredibly clueless and irresponsible, and he doesn't care if you die as long as you vote for him first.

How many have had to be hospitalized after Biden rallies? ZERO.


At this point, it's a certainty that his Petri dish events have killed at least hundreds by infecting thousands, in every state he visits there's a corresponding massive spike in cases and deaths a week or so later, contact traced back to his rallies every time. This is forcing new lockdowns and has already overrun the medical system in many areas.

Side note, he's socialistically dumping the problems on the first responders in the areas too, having made no plans or contingencies for these foreseeable fiascos, costing the local towns tens of thousands to millions in unrecoverable tax dollars to clean up his messes, and he still hasn't even paid for his rallies from 2016 in most cases, costing dozens of cities millions each for events he put on with the agreement to pay for them, agreements he consistently welches on.

As for his idiotic herd immunity plan guaranteed to kill at least 8 million Americans and likely to kill more like 50-75 million thanks to a total overrun of the medical system causing a lack of treatment for most, virologists have determined the immunity it might give the population wouldn't last one year before the virus mutates enough to reinfect everyone, starting the pandemic cycle over.

But you fell for the idea because you a low IQ tool.

And this is you guy you voting for?

I would have thought they could bring fire trucks to dump water on it and solidify small sections to direct the flow elsewhere.

While living in HK, I saw so many occurrences where people just would not get out of the way of ambulances and fire trucks. Cars and pedestrians. There may not be a requirement to move, but in some cases it was sheer inconsiderate selfishness (200+ people crossing a road on red walk signal, ambo waiting about 1.5 minutes)

Ah, got it. I couldn't find my own photos, but google came to the rescue - here is Lake Colac in its "Colac mudflat" phase a few years ago - http://otway.biz/images/lakecolacdry.jpg

And here's a more normal view after a bit of rain - https://fredodonnellphotography.wordpress.com/2012/10/30/jetties-lake-colac/

The lake's only shallow, so it's prone to drying out completely if there's a drought. It's only happened once in my lifetime that I know of though, although the level does go up and down.

There's a man made lake called Lake Wendouree a few hours north in Ballarat, and around the time that a few years before lake Colac dried up they had to mow it... and started a fire in the dry grass! It was still mud underneath, so it was a bit hard to put the fire out too, they couldn't get the fire trucks onto it

Thats why: “Belgian firemen were protesting against national budget cuts for the fire department in Brussels on Monday. Firemen from all the country gathered in front of Prime Minister’s office with fire trucks and blocked traffic in Brussels’ ring road. They burned tyres in the streets and sprayed water and foam towards police guarding the protest. At some point police officers stood knee-deep in foam on the street. Talks are ongoing on the ministerial level on the new Belgian budget, and firemen are protesting against cuts in their insurance benefits and insufficient staffing.”

-Brazilian fire trucks are cute as hell...

@dalumberjack - Very well stated.

"I really wish we were appreciated like firemen or military but I know we never will be."

Law enforcement will never be appreciated like firemen or military because unlike the latter two, on the whole, officers overall spend a lot of their job targeting the people they're supposed to be protecting.

Firefighters attack fires to save innocent people.

Soldiers attack bad guys for the sake of innocent people (often at the expense of the lives of foreign innocent people, but that's another topic).

Law enforcement officers instead of just protecting innocent people from bad guys also attack innocent people (and rape their wallets).

There are no honest taxpayers who become fearful when a fire truck is on the road, but many get scared whenever there's an officer on the road even though they aren't doing anything wrong.

Part of it is policy (how local governments push to "earn" income by squeezing every cent they can out of taxpayers [because it costs money catching bad guys who often don't pay taxes nor have a wallet to rape]) and the other part is just human nature, which is obvious when you consider generally the type of personality that would seek to wield power over all the sniveling pissants that make up society.

People should feel safe and protected when officers are around.

You can see the snorkel just behind the cabin in the last few seconds of the video.

Where is the snorkel ? ?

I also wondered. How the hell does this thing work without air? Or is Isuzu pioneering fuel cell fire trucks? :-)
