What is with the patting on the back with tragedies?

Small rant.

I'm watching coverage of this terror attack in Las Vegas and I'm hearing nothing but how proud the govt is of the response.

During the disaster in Houston we heard the same.

Ditto for Florida and Puerto Rico.

Why?

You have dead an injured in all three incidents.  In the hurricanes you have homeowners that have been wiped out.

And in the middle of that the govt decides to pat itself on the back for their response?

It rubs me as being misguided and if I was an affected individual it would piss me off.

How did this become a thing?  When did it happen that we evolved to a point where we suddenly need our govt to praise itself after horrific acts?
