Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

people film in similar situations all the time, if it were such a common occurrence it would be reasonable to expect at least some actual evidence. centerpoint has been fucking this up every single day, linemen aren't being given work and are sitting idle in parking lots and it's been extremely well reported locally so everybody knows it's management causing problems, not work crews.
also, if people are coming out of their houses with guns brandishing them, well that's a crime and they're doing it at their houses so there would be arrests.
Workers rarely ever film themselves in a work related incident, they are trying to maintain professional behaviour. The only party in this interaction likely to film it is the perpetrator if they're stupid enough to film themselves doing a crime.
I think they said they were investigating five incidents so it's not like it's a common occurrence. I can absolutely see there being no video evidence of a few incidents. And they also arrested one person for it. Just seems like a lot of work for something that every energy company in the US is criticized for constantly.
Centerpoint's fuckup for Beryl is blue ribbon award winning. They didn't pre-stage any linemen, they lowballed the linemen when they got here, they didn't provide them with any accommodations, and there's still people with power out, all from a weaselly little category one. They've never done this badly before.
