George Floyd

I wanted to write this piece earlier but also did not want it to be viewed as taking advantage of a terrible situation, so I waited until now. 

I first want to say that the event that took place involving George Floyd is a tragedy and stark reminder for everyone about how short life can be. I believe that in this situation the police involved are 100% guilty of murder to one degree or another. I want these officers to be made an example of for all law enforcement officers, and to remind them that they are being watched and they need to be better.

George Floyd and many others that we do not hear about do not deserve to die or be mistreated in any way regardless of what they have done. The blatant disregard for human life in this case is sickening. Not one person who is not actively involved in a violent crime deserves to die at the hands of police and even in the cases that they are, they do not deserve to die in the manner that Floyd died in. I can not view his death as anything less than torture. His treatment was inhumane and it honestly made me sick. 

I like most do believe that police are a necessary societal institution, they do in fact provide a very valuable service that makes life better for most of us. I also however find myself lamenting the sad state of police departments across the country. I believe now and have for many years that police in general have overstepped their mandate and to a degree the law makers have as well. They have become so concerned with inconsequential issues that they have forgotten they are paid PUBLIC SERVANTS. Police and politicians are paid to serve the public and somewhere along the way they have either forgotten or ignored this fact in the search for more power. Governments and Police Departments across the country need to take this event as a wake up call and start instituting real meaningful change that serves all people in their communities. 

I do not want this to be misconstrued as me just bashing the police. I hope that I have made it clear that in most cases I do support the police. I know that like with any group in the world there are good officer and bad officer. I also know that there are many more good officer than bad officers, we just hear about the bad officers much more often. With that said there is always room for improvement within any organization. 

Where ever you land on this situation or others like it, whether you agree with my statements or not, this is not the time for inflammatory statements or hate filled arguments on social media. 

Thank you for your time, and I appreciate you checking out the blog.
