Given the increasing number of instances where police have over-aggressively abused their authority--and from experiencing it myself--it troubles me to see such divisiveness in our country. While were bickering and hating each other over insignificant bullshit, the powers that be (The Donkeys and Elephants) are methodically ruining our ability to live fulfilling lives. Why? Because they know were sick of their shit. They know were finally at a point of not being able to deal with it. Rather than address the root causes of this civil unrest, they instead are preparing to deal with it when things finally erupt. If this isnt a clear indication that they are not on our side, and if you still feel like claiming allegiance to a political party, you are only aiding them. The reason they wont correct their morally bankrupt behavior is because theyve gone too far. There is no turning back. Instead, their only option is the squash any and all opposition. And the reason they are afraid of a unified and cohesive America is because they know we, the American people, are the only real threat they have. The longer we continue fighting with each other, the worse it will get. The only chance for positive and non-violent change is to put the petty shit aside, to not take it so seriously, and to quit being a country of extremist ideologues. It is us against them, and it has been that way since the 70s. Once we all realize it’s not Liberals v.s Conservatives that is when we can finally move forward as a country. If youre a police officer who is reading this I ask that you dont view this as a denunciation of law enforcement. Instead, a plea from a fellow citizen saying there needs to be more civility and humanity from police towards citizens, and vice versa. We are not your enemy and we dont want you to be ours. However, with the way our government is acting and the pressure theyre putting on you, they are forcing that situation to become a troubling reality. If youre a soldier or a veteran reading this, we know when push comes to shove youll have the peoples back. You showed it when active soldiers protected protestors from aggressive police during Occupy. And given how the American government has turned its back on veterans when theyve made the real sacrifices for our safety, I have faith that you will protect us again if that time comes. Sorry for making you read this long rant, but man, this shits been really bothering me lately. communities.washingtontimes/neighborhood/high-tide-and-turn/2013/oct/31/will-domestic-law-enforcement-paranoia-turn-us-pol/
