    It turns out that lying on the floor is actually quite comfortable and should not be reserved for dead people.

        I don’t think we should get in the habit of calling it “Karen” to report a mass killing

          Persom didnt call to report “mass shooting”

          This person made a false report.

          Wasting resources… In US, police is known to kill people who they were supposed to be “saving” because they got “scared”

          This was at best negligence and should not be glorified

            They didn’t make a false report on purpose. And their police mostly don’t kill people.

            Last time I checked the stats the per capita (%) US rate of gun deaths from police shootings alone was higher than the entire gun homicide rate for Europe.

            Making a false report is only a bad thing if they did it maliciously. I’m assuming they did it out of naivety rather than out of malice. In the UK the police are less inclined to kill people for no reason (of course, it does happen but it’s way less likely).

    To be fair, it is called corpse pose. I guess the yogis were just too convincing for that poor person who saw them.

    When I saw this story, it struck me as funny, but then there’s that line about how the police officers must have been feeling as they approached what could have been a horror scene. I can’t even imagine.

      Yeah. Even the person who thought they “found” the bodies, rushing off to call the police, everyone must have been pretty freaked out.

      Total contrast to the chilled out yoga people.

    Since it happened in the US, they all can be grateful that the police didn’t turn it into a mass killing when they couldn’t find a murderer there.

    I guess, if it had been a black yoga class, they would have preemptively started shooting the participants.
