Since when is speaking out equivalent to martyrdom?

Speaking out isn't martyrdom. "Taking one for the team" after they mentioned staying quiet because they were under threat is.

"Taking one for the team" in the context I used it is not equivalent to "martyrdom" either.

Free market in action. I have to agree with revenant...your syntax is tangled, and you give no evidence of understanding US history.

yes, they can do all that but it's a lot more work to trace towers and in some cases it might need the involvement of court orders and restrictions on monitoring all calls.

So this one time a SWAT team was called in to our neighborhood for a shooting and they were holed up all day outside this one house and the local news set up headquarters in our house 'cause we had the best view of the scene anyway the dude was long gone but it was cool okay that's my story.

Maybe we need less SWAT teams and more emergency mental health teams.
