As the long, hot summer of 2020 begins, the facts suggest that the U.S. is not going to beat the coronavirus.
Several states, Arizona, North Carolina, and California,
are now seeing their highest numbers of known cases.
These numbers all reflect infections that likely began before this week of protest.
An even larger spike now seems likely.
It is a bitter cruelty that the people who might suffer most are
also fighting for justice in a way that almost certainly increases their risk of being infected ...
And so in turn,
lead to hundreds of deaths of those they infect by protesting the horrific murder of George Floyd.
Because there are some undeniably racist, violent police,
the extreme chant of ABOLISH THE POLICE is not only being screamed by protestors,
but city, state, and Federal authorities are loathe to be on the vote-stealing side of a Hot Topic.
Ever hear of
the REIGN OF TERROR?
It began with the overthrow of the Girondins and the ascendancy of the Jacobins under Robespierre.
Against a background of foreign invasion and civil war,
opponents were ruthlessly persecuted and 1400 executed by the guillotine ...
including Robespierre who had by that time become dictator of France.
No Police?
Who do you think
will cheer the most?
Only Criminals and mindless souls will cheer.
ReplyDeleteDefunding Police is going to lead to more violence and unrest. Where is the proper way to redistribute taking care of some problems which police currently are required for. However I have no faith in society to figure this one out. These are very very crazy insane times.
There are two problems much worse than police brutality within the violence of society.
1- approximately 7000 black men die each year by the hands of other black men. That number is specific to Chicago alone. 1000 people in the United States died at the hands of policeman.
2- according to St John Hopkins approximately 250000 people die each year in the United States due to Dr nurse and medical practitioners negligence. Now that is worth protesting across the land but we will never see it.
All in all the violence needs to stop and people need to see that all lives matter not just black lives. Living here in Los Angeles County I have been a victim of racism and I am white. According to some you can't be a racist if you are black thanks.
In the last 23 years I have knocked on death's door due to doctors and surgeons negligence. I have never been a victim of police brutality.
More to follow.
This mindless violence only lends credence to racists who point at it. Yes, doctors and nurses are more than due pointing fingers of the populace!
DeleteGood to hear from you as always, good friend!
the last person(s), I want to put under a microscope or speak ill of, are medical professionals. Some have literally saved my life, and a couple others have come to close to taking it.
DeleteA 24 yr old young man hung himself nearby 2 days ago, in Palmdale, CA. It's really sad how many people are jumping on this BLM bandwagon, calling for an investigation (that was already in the works), yet proclaiming the police or a white supremacist did it. There's a saying, if you proclaim others to be racists, based on assumption alone, then you're a racist. I hate to say it, but this nation seems to be spinning out of control.
Your blogs shed a lot of light on this dark world, and I thank you for that. It's only this kind of 'light' that shall set us free, a light of love, the very epitome of what is Sacred. You are a blessing to us all Brother Roland. Nod of the cap to you!
