Could I ask for explanation?

It's an English stereotype that they feel awkward when expressing emotions and would rather suffer silently than "impose" on someone by asking for help.

(edit: or at least that was my read. The other person who replied might be right that it could be a joke about recent events, because they arrest 30+ people per day for social media posts.)
