Why would Police Block Exit Routes?

************************

Dangerous downed power lines? I am not buying the theory that police were intentionally harming people.

Just a form of post birth abortions performed by the liberal Hawaiian government.

A cop that isn’t smart enough to know sending people back in to the fire zone is a bad idea

Well... Clearly they are a Democrat.

Why are not these policemen in jail awaiting trial? They are murderers-mass murderers along with the official who cut off the water then refused to turn it back on due to "equity" concerns and the power company officials who did not cut off the electricity to the town in the high winds but did cut it off to the affluent neighborhood. This is too damned many "coincidences." Watch the billionaires scoop up the land for some big project that needs all the less than affluent residents disposed of.

K, there’s a giant fire, ppl are in cars trying to get away from it but you’re telling them No, stay where you are or go back into the fire. How is that NOT murder!?

Oh great! Then you should be able to provide multiple sources stating that police officers were ordered to block passable roads therefore indicating a nefarious plan to kill hundreds of people. Because that’s what you imbeciles are intimating. Please provide sources, because THIS article says nothing of the sort.

Turning people away as they were trying to escape was criminal.

Full expect “the fire was started via DEW” kooks to show up.

You’re a fraud with zero proof. You invent nonsense out of whole cloth. Log off and take a walk.
