7/20/20 *part two and final*
This decommissioning of the police force I have heard about will only encourage bad behavior from some unsavory individuals or groups. I hear of this kind of talk and it makes me think of the movies The Purge. I haven't seen much of these movies, but the meaning behind it is scary if put into the reality of things.
I have had unpleasant experiences with the cops, but I have had good experiences too. My wife and I ended up talking to a female officer at Tyson's Corner Mall for a time. This is when more bad news about black folk being killed.
The female officer (yes, she was Caucasian), seemed surprised that we even acknowledged her presence. Some other officers joined her and they too seemed pleased to be looked at as human beings and not monsters. I don't know how the rest of their day went, but it was like a breath of fresh air to be treated with respect by two citizens. Normally their day can start of civil and go to insane in a moment.
I had had unpleasant moments with cops, but I gotta look at the good side they do. If I look at all the negatives two will undoubtedly turn to positives. However all the positives in the would can be ruled out with just one negative.
I have no wish to look at the bad shit unless I must. I will not walk around with hate in my heart, because it not only corrosive, but damaging too. If you go looking for bad shit, it will eventually find you. If you are not looking for trouble, trouble maybe looking for you.
Either way, it's a toss up, but depending on how you handle the cards you are dealt, you might walk away on your own two feet...
