"stat"? What does that mean? |
|
Message to mayors, city councils, police chiefs and street cops of America: It is NOT UP TO YOU whether or not Ameticans get to peaceably gather, protest, discuss, play music, use megaphones or wear masks. It's up to a document, ratified 224 years ago, called the US Constitution. This is really not a difficult concept, so pleas get it together, stat. Sincerely, The People United.
Google is givin' me nothin' that make any sense.

responded to for two or three hours (for example), the 'as soon as possible' was that two/three hour delay.
