      I lived through a hurricane down in Texas years back, and the poverty “pick up basic supplied” lines were really dehumanizing.

      No shade, no real concern for humans, just passing out goods based on queue and hole with someone made it to the queue

      And of course performed by cops… you know, paragons of society………………………

        So were they supposed to take the extra time to set up tents and stuff or hand out food as soon as they could, and should they not use the extra manpower from cops or should they just be understaffed and slow down giving out basic aid?
