Keep posting this so people donโt forget how truly bad this event was.
Donโt let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.

A bad coach tears people down. An average coach focuses only on results. A good coach teaches skills and systems. A great coach builds confidence and trust. An exceptional coach helps people believe in themselves at a higher level. Andย the best coaches impact lives long after the scoreboard stops mattering.
Steve Kerr shares what made Gregg Popovich and Phil Jackson such great coaches.
"What I loved about both of them - they're very different from one another, but they both had the same quality."
"You knew they cared about you. You could feel that they loved you and they cared about you. But you were a little afraid of them."
"Just a little bit. Almost like you'd feel about a parent."
They had that great balance of warm and demanding.
Then he clarified:
"Not afraid physically, but you were afraid to disappoint them. That's probably the better way to put it."
The sweet spot: care and accountability.
"They both cared so deeply about me and my family. They knew everything about my life. They asked questions. They were more engaged and more involved with me than any coaches I ever had."
"Knew all my kids' names. That stuff matters."
"And then at practice, if you weren't on it, you were gonna hear it...What a great combination."
They loved you enough to know you.
They loved you enough to push you.
That's the balance every leader should aim for - care so deeply that people are afraid to let you down.

If Congress doesnโt act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read. https://t.co/NPtKyjYRml
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

@MSOE_Raiders@msoemenssoccer Extremely impressive group and a GREAT game! Equally impressive was How Coach Harrington celebrated and recognized past team members after the game. A leader who recognizes a culture is shaped by those that came before them. Congrats Coach, well deserved!
