Fear Or Embrace

Fear or embrace? What you don’t understand. The man or woman, on the street, tasked to protect our meat, wear stars to proclaim their feat. They don’t have the time to decide what they see, is a threat to you and me. What’s the answer to using tasers or obsolete batons, instead of deadly force, that closes the door.Look to other countries where sons and daughters spend mandatory time in military or polezi. No time for them to party or turn into a crack whore. Who would shoot their own sons, daughters, when they fell out of line, even if tricked out of their mind. Could fear and initial drawing of the Glock, be replaced by understanding embrace before walking that walk? Isn’t the fabric of society on a time clock?

Hello Randolph, fear is a very strong emotion when in this state it is hard to see what is in front of you. Thinking a solution is not easy when face in a state of fear. Because your thoughts are scattered everywhere. Yes some people are not able to live their lives like they should like to in other countries. That is true.
