“ At least one law enforcement officer appeared to reach for their weapon before the room relaxed with recognition of the scheduled test.”
Seriously LEOs, chill the fuck out!
THE MISSILES ARE COMING! GOTTA SHOOT 'EM DOWN WITH MY SERVICE REVOLVER!

I mean… good?
If you had the real deal you would want it to work fine and interrupt, no? Literally seems like the most important place of all to validate “yup, the emergency alert test system works here too”
Works as expected. If anyone was surprised, it just shows how far out of touch they are with reality.
, , , they said,“Oh. Anyway” and got back to work.
Does this really qualify as news?
Ordinarily, I’d agree. I posted it because the last line in the article caught my attention. Apparently a cop was startled by the test and the officer’s first reaction was to go for their firearm.
Kinda weird they wouldn’t schedule around the alert. O.o
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A blaring alarm interrupted the White House briefing, Capitol Hill pressers and courtroom processes Wednesday, as a nationwide emergency test hit devices.
The alarms prompted chuckles, and the noise continued throughout the White House press corps working area after the briefing as reporters who turned off their phones to attempt to avoid hearing the noise during the briefing turned them back on.
On Capitol Hill, the interruption sparked jokes and laughter amid a Senate GOP news conference.
“I only respond when there’s an emergency,” quipped Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), according to footage shared online.
The test alert also rang out in the courtroom where former President Trump’s civil fraud trial is ongoing, startling the lawyers and officers in the room.
At least one law enforcement officer appeared to reach for their weapon before the room relaxed with recognition of the scheduled test.
The original article contains 220 words, the summary contains 143 words. Saved 35%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Why are people making such a big deal about this? We’ve had Alert testing for tornado sirens, radio, and tv for decades.
Usually this means something big happened that someone is wanting covered up. Makes me wonder if something big happened in one of the Trump cases or Congress.
1st paragraph: yeah I’m on board for this
2nd paragraph: oh
Why don’t you agree? There very been coverups with news stories for a long time.
Like how in 2014 Ebola was all over the news and was suddenly pulled from news coverage the day after the election. Other times there are random stories taking over the news and I looked into what was happening in Congress and the Republicans were pushing a bill that would be detrimental to the people of the US. Just as Fox uses smoke and mirrors with rage-baiting to entrance their viewers.
