Paramedics reported that Perrotta declined treatment in the ambulance.

“I am fine, I just needed to get out of here,” she said, according to the report. Another officer described Perrotta at the time as “visibly hysterical (crying and breathing rapidly) and had blood all over her uniform”, the report said.

i used to doom scroll a lot because i also had a generally hopeless and despondent feeling like you're having right now.

lemmy taught me that the indoctrination that i received as a liberal born and raised in the united states left me unable to contextualize and understand the onslaught of horrible things happening all over this planet every day. it gave me the intellectual guidelines and tools that showed me how to analyze and appreciate what's happening in this world so that i can stop doom scrolling.

here's an updated and shortened list of what i've been learning: https://lemmy.ml/post/43309494
