Law and Order 1

They scream assaults in their faces Across the land in all places Treat all law enforcement the same When only the some are to blame There are police with a good soul Trying to help, in their work role Dodging objects and spit their way How do you think they sleep at night? Told to stand down without a fight We will not survive in this way Without law and order today! Heidi Sands 6/23/20

I truly think if the media went away, many of these problems would also go away. I believe sometimes people run toward the media to be "featured".

The media makes matters worse, it appears. I am thankful I don't have cable stations hooked up lately for TV. I get the news from my phone and that is even too much. Just think how the media could be used in a positive productive way more to help make a difference! :)

Unfortunately there are bad apples in every facet of society who spoil it for the peaceful protesters - they have another agenda in mind, their own - the police department is no exception. Serious sifting out must be done by Police commissioners, for there is good in every system of society, and it is up to the good guys to dig out the weeds out the die-hards and wipe out racism. We shouldn't say therefore all police are bad, that is not true. Blessings my friend, Jennifer.

A shame that all police are being shown in a bad light because of the actions of a few bad apples. If they were no police it would be like the wild west, people would have something to complain about then. Tom

Tom, thank you, yes it is a shame.. And it is getting harder to watch every day. I have seen them run over by a car, screamed in their faces, objects thrown at them, their police station burnt down, etc. Yet, there are these here wanting to not only defund police, but dismantle police. (It is the way to rid of our front line defense to take over) and YES, they are treating them ALL the same :(

Police officers are always on edge knowing they are THE target, so it is rather daft for anyone to believe they can resist arrest and there will be no consequence! The USA provides FREE defence for anyone who believes their arrest was not warranted. Aloha! Rico

True, Rico. I appreciate your input on this. Thank you :)

I agree not all police are the same....However I hear from a reliable source who have worked a lot with HR police that there is discrimination towards black people... I do despise generalisation though....

Thank you SO. I am going to put in a law and order part 2 ..to elaborate. :)

We absolutely need law and order--I agree, Heidi. There are some who disregard rules--even police, and some protesters.

That is right. Thank you Vijay :)

I have not been keeping up with the news in the US. I hope you are safe and well, and that peace comes sooner than later. Mo hugs

Agreed, 100%. Most effective when a woman writes these words (than when a hulk like me does). Without L&O, we've quickly got chaos! (Did you hear that even Seattle's Mayor is permitting police to disperse the CHOP 'residents' at night now. Miracles Happen). Keep fighting the good fight, my friend. Thanks, Gershon

Thank your input Gershon. Yes , I heard she is going to do that in Seattle with Chop. Will see how that goes. I hope you keep up the good fight too! Goodnight :)
