This has officially been upgraded to a tornado emergency, if you are north east of Columbia Tennessee I beg you to have eyes on the weather right now, there is a large and dangerous tornado in the area, if you're in its path you need to shelter in place because you don't have time to go somewhere else and you don't want to be caught outside in this

we need cash wednesday

Thank you for making this post on the hip social media site that we frequent at this point in our lives. I'm reblogging it both because it's funny and because I consider us friends

Yes, in the early 21st century we often consider people we only interact with over social media as friends, even if we have never met them in real life. And that's why I have not only reblogged this post, but also liked it (by clicking a button with my mouse).

Police may also feign kettles in order to cause a protest to disperse.

Protests that move quickly are harder to kettle (but are easier to split up as people get left behind).

Something important to note is that kettles are used by police to gather intelligence. Police may tell you that you will be allowed to leave if you provide your name and your address, if you give information about other protestors etc. Police can and will lie to you, do not trust them. Never talk to cops.

Being trapped in a kettle is stressful. Police may decide to arrest a few of you or all of you. Their goal is to gather information and to demoralize you. They might threaten or harass you. Your goal should be to remain calm and to help the people around you remain calm. Remember if nobody talks, everyone walks.
