A lot of them on the footage that was being shared around last night looked really uncomfortable being filmed. Thos aggressiveness is probably really defensiveness, due to the fact that, on some level, they know what they're doing is wrong.
IMO, it's likely to be more just general stress. They know they're being scrutinized from all angles all the time and pressured in different directions by both the public, their department heads, and the politicians over said heads. It's easily enough to put the grunts on edge because they've been put into a situation where there is no clear right answer and anything they do could get them some serious blowback.
They know they're in the middle of a minefield and if things go sideways they're more than likely going to be hung out to dry.
There is a clear right answer, it's just not an easy or safe one.
I mean 'no right answer' as in 'no answer that doesn't leave them open to serious reprisal.' They're between a rock and a hard place and are basically living in the embodiment of J. Peterson's warning "you would have been a Nazi."
Yeah I get that, was just being pithy. ;)
