Greetings sisters and brothers, while the feckless media continues to tell its viewers that the continued violence sparked by extra-judicial murder is 'race-related' when the underlying truth is that any one of us could be the next Floyd George.
Adding to the disintegration of the fabric of society is the collapse of the social institutions that kept us circumspect. An isolated society quickly goes to war with itself as EVERYONE becomes 'the other'.
Do you see the problem here?
Insulate yourself in your private mental dungeon then strip your victim of their humanity and suddenly the victim loses their right to civil treatment. This is what 'the blue wall' does.
Let's finish that thought by pointing out that those who routinely catagorize others as 'savages' are themselves no better.
All humans are savages that barely repress their instinct to slay others on sight for the benefits of social interaction. If not for the 'biological imperative' humanity would have no use for 'society'.
Acknowledging the savagery of a job that shouldn't exist in the first place does nothing to re-establish the trust that is vital to a functioning society. [This is where 'History's Actors' consistently miscalculate!]
This isn't over yet.
The angry/frightened public has been TOLD that the Officer in question has been charged (with manslaughter) but nobody knows if he is free on personal recognizance or if he is safely behind bars [where any one of us would be.]
Initial reports tell us ALL four officers involved were fired by an angry Mayor but this must have quickly been reversed by...wait for it, the policeman's union.
[Is anyone else disturbed that the Mayor's first reaction wasn't to have these rogue civil servants arrested and jailed but to instead terminate their employment?]
Few things are more distressing than witnessing 'nothing go up top' occur at the top of any chain of command.
Understand brethren, the gun-toting human refuse handlers are mace/pepper-spraying children in the vicinity of the protestors. Even disinterested passersby got caught in the crossfire of POLICE OVERREACTION!
It seems our public servants default to their military training when confronted and the millions of civilians dead at the hands of soldiers points to precisely why you don't want to put soldiers in charge of disciplining the public.
It seems incompetence is everywhere and if you disapprove, tough!
Since Morning in America, the paradigm of My way or the Highway has been coupled with Talk to the Hand up and down the power structure.
In this respect putting oneself in harm's way to 'protest' makes the dangerous assumption that someone higher up the chain of command would take notice and buck the tide.
Like prayer, nobody is listening.
Where does that leave the basic building block of society?
The conservatives told us when they took over, we simply didn't believe them but it is slowly dawning on the mass consciousness that they were deadly earnest.
You (and by extension yours) are on your own. This is NOT the place you want to learn that the institutions established to protect you have failed.
This is a bitter pill for those of my peer group, to have arrived at the end of our journey only to learn we have been misled the entire trip.
NOTHING is as represented.
What shall we do to save our grandchildren from our fate?
They have to sleep sometime.
Chant the refrain until a solution presents itself to you...
