Yes, Lives Matter!

I honestly believe that most people in this world aren't jerks. I know there are groups of individuals in this world who are still brutally oppressed, still in need and still hoping for their lives to change for the better, and it is the cause for much unrest. But there is something very wrong with society these days and the situation is becoming more toxic, not just for police, but for everyone. There is a segment of the population whose hate for their fellow man runs far too deep, and whose anger is far too dangerous for us all. America’s problems are deep and systemic, and there is troubling evidence of racism and bias. But it is inaccurate to present these problems as the result of an organized conspiracy by just one group of people or institution. There is a dangerous rhetoric out there against police, whites, blacks, Hispanics, natives, Christians, Jews, Muslims, gays. the unborn....everyone. No one is immune, no one is safe. And until we all truly believe and understand that LIVES MATTER, and stand up and together as human beings..nothing will change. Things will become more toxic and dangerous. Is that the kind of world we want to leave for our children?
