Are you tired of images of police brutality that shout at us each day from headlines and the social media? Ferguson, Baltimore and so many more not exclusive to the USA.
Well, it's our fault. We let it happen when we allowed the fear-mongers to rule the narrative around the world.
Uniformed people have always existed. They have been given uniforms to "serve the people". Somehow, the meaning of "serve the people" has been corrupted, post-2001, to mean "to beat well before serving the people on platters".
Are you tired yet?
I am.
It's time to vote into office those people who value freedoms more than trumped-up security.
It's time to vote for people who believe we are not inherently "bad" and in need of corraling.
It's time to vote for people who believe in humanity.
It's time to value Athens over Sparta.
It's time to bring back police who act for the people.
Vote against fear. Vote against uniforms ruling your life.
