@Lana @inthehands Or a plain and simple “ew.”

@jasonkoebler @inthehands I’d believe what I read in tea leaves before something about technology that “cops theorize.” I’ve lost track of the number of false news reports I’ve seen about technology concerns from credulous police departments.

Seems far more likely that if they can’t get a cell signal that they’re burning a lot more battery trying to connect to a tower and then running out of juice/overheating and rebooting. But the update explanation conveniently makes it someone else’s fault.

@MisuseCase @futurebird @inthehands That’s my belief, and it jibes well with the growing picture that turnout was similar to 2020 except a lot of democrats simply didn’t vote this year. “I’m not gonna put a woman in charge” abstainers explains that difference pretty well.
