how to understand the word "with" in this sentence?

Question

Answer

It doesn't mean much. It's a linking word, which is an alternative to 'at', and avoids repetition, but isn't quite as appropriate.
We are ... amazed at (a) or with (b).
or We are quick to be amazed ... with how violence is normalised.
