Ive seen my Facebook get divided between #BlackLivesMatter or #PoliceLivesMatter. Im here to tell both sides youre wrong. Unless you subscribe to the philosophy of all lives matter, you are part of the problem. We continue to divide ourselves because we still believe people like ourselves are better than other groups. This behavior is textbook bigotry. As we obtain higher and higher levels of education, we have become dumber as a society. What happened to basic decent behavior or respect for others? Everyone out there has the same value. Regardless of how powerful or rich you may become, your life is still not worth anymore than the homeless or the incarcerated. Lets try putting a stop to divisive behavior and open a peaceful and respectful dialogue with each other and begin to understand each other again. On that note, I leave you all with some advice. 1. Cops arent randomly killing people. The #1 way to avoid a bad run in with the law is dont commit crimes and dont resist arrest once you are caught. 2. If you want to end police brutality, randomly shooting officers or voicing your support for those that do is only working in the opposite direction of your goal. Cops are going to be more on edge and the likelihood of someone losing their life is increasing, whether cop or criminal. 3. An eye for an eye leaves the world blind. Find more creative ways to get your points across (either side) than retaliation or inflammatory remarks. Peaceful but powerful actions open more doors than hate ever have and ever will. If we learn how to respect our follow man, most of the problems we have will stop almost immediately.
