Befroe there is a loss of trust, there is usually something else, apart from general 'vicious gossip' (AKA ddisinformation, and It's all your fault).

People are talking about FEMA incompetence, because there is video evidence, and some are wondering if the incompetence is intentional (also video evidence - was that downdraft intentional?). The latter situation is going to cause more chatter - like why was the pilot wearing a black mask, inside an unmarked heli?

Fundamental to all of it is poor leadership, neither are the folks stamping around on hte ground guilty in any way, nor should the executive take back-handed kudos for those people doing the real work, because things are obviously not right. In reference to:

we have so many first responders that have been working to go out and help these communities (implying that therefore there must be no criticism)
