Yay for words! Sigh for society.
precisely Rhythm. I made this same point to WoG in another thread. People abusing the authority given to them are not terrorists. Labeling all cops as terrorists is a quick step to anarchy. Cops do not have easy jobs. The fact they are now being painted in broad strokes because a few morons got a badge and go roid rage on people makes me sick. Police by and large do protect and serve. But no matter what group, there will always be people who take their authority too far. It's true in the police forces, the military, corporate America and on Capitol Hill. Why? Because we are all people and all make mistakes, but don't stereotype or blame the entire group for a few morons. What benefit is there in spreading the message to our younger generation not to trust cops? Kids already have little respect for authority as it is, so sure lets tell kids that cops are terrorists and will just want to kill you, that will make them trust them when they need them most.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
