Demanding responsible and humane policing

is not an unreasonable action.

The fact that we don't receive reasoned

and judicious treatment from those

sworn to protect us is the absurdity.

And the man in charge of the Justice

Department just publicly declared that

"The police are not the problem..."

with a straight face.

No, they're one significant aspect of the problem:
The allowances of their murderous activities

go to attitudes much higher up the food chain.

When it becomes necessary to support the obvious

Having to defend an attitude that is distinctly

anti-CORRUPT cop feels a little like having to

defend myself against massive air polluters or

anti-child rapists. It's absurd that one should have to 

take such a stand on clear matters of injustice and 

human horrors. 

But, this is evidently the insane world we live in these days.

So, unapologetic, clear, fearful, I will take 

my stand against those in power who are unfit to

hold power. There are far too many. Their crimes are far

too heinous. Their power seems far too unstoppable.

But courage starts with a single, simple act, often without 

a clear plan or a clear answer. Sometimes you just have to stop

thinking about solutions and take action. Together, maybe

we can find a way to win.
