"There's no reason to shoot anybody!" Waters shouted to the service members. "Don't allow them to make your service a service where you're killing people." "Don't do it. Defy them!" she added. "Don't shoot those guns for anything!"

No clue why so many people’s response to recent uprisings is “see this is what DT wanted all along so now he can martial law 🤓🤓” when what about anything we’ve seen this past decade alone gives he’s a person that works within the boundaries of the law
