for some, the effects of the pandemic and the measures taken to combat it linger, simmering tensions brought to a boil and manifesting themselves in anger, and in some cases, violence, experts say.In this May 20, 2020, file photo, Times Square stands empty during the COVID-19 pandemic in New York.
Even as the nation and globe was locking down, the memo, which has not been previously reported, urged agency partners to develop an"action plan" for when communities begin to return to"normal" activities, predicting"the increase in mass gatherings, combined with the lengthy social isolation and other life stressors," may create environs churned up by COVID, and ripe for violent upheaval.
"COVID has been a tipping point," Dr. Aimee Harris-Newon a clinical psychologist in Chicago who focuses on wellness and preventive care."On top of too much chronic stress, the impact of all this trauma… now everything is starting to leak out."And some experts say psychological stressors were already mounting prior to the pandemic.
"I turn my face to the square, I heard everything but I didn't see nothing," Abdelmagied, 46, told ABC News. In 2021, there have already been more than 10,000 gun violence deaths -- with nearly six months left to go. The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a record number of potential violations of federal law in unruly passenger cases -- identifying more than 490 cases this year so far where passengers potentially broke the law by"interfering with the duties of a crew member." That's more than double the amount of cases investigated in 2020; and more than two and a half times the amount in 2019.
DefundThePolice not working? lol
Where was this amazing journalism when all the violence and extremism was literally burning down buildings, looting and harassing people minding their own business?
This is why you don't bow down to protestors!
Guilty of the violence are the gun manufacturers, owners of the gun stores and the people who are blocking all gun reform laws.
Moving right along to the next corporate epidemic. Let me guess - the 'experts' to trust this time are law enforcement, and they need more money, equipment, and especially powers?
Covid-19 surge has ebbed? Just wait........
Send out the social workers since we have remimagined policing
Has it though? Has it ebbed?
First of all, saying that COVID, 'has ebbed,' is not good for ratings, and secondly, we need to stop talking about violence, as it calls into question certain talking points and that would make us as liberals look as though we were wrong, and we can never admit to being wrong.
Lol sure! Its not the democrats no bail policies or or paying people not to work so they get into trouble fucking around. Its not shutting down all the things to do positive. Your policies created this! Take responsibility
The rise solely attributable to the Democrats demonization of law enforcement
Merica is gonna murica

Pushing propaganda again….,
