Police Burtality Serious Problem
From Rodney King, to Sean Bell, more and more people are falling to this senseless acts of violence, It seems to become a worldwide epidemic, because it seems as if the bad guys are not the only ones we need to worry about, but the people that swear to serve and protect us.The Images that I´m about to show you is real, and its troublesome, because whomever is taping this, is just looking on it as if it was a normal and everyday thing, and the people in the background, are obviously blind,condoning the police officers barbaric behavior. I feel as if this topic is getting more and more serious, because it happens more and more frequent, and nothing is being done to resolve the problem. Is this what society has come to? Excepting the things we can change, but we are so afraid to speak out, because for 1 it doesn´t affect us personally or the other scenario could be we expect the things we can´t change, so therefore we make the system dedicate how we live. I think we need to really take a look at ourselves personally, and think about the rights and liberty we have in this world, and if we are not treated the right way, how can we can have those rights to truly survive. Something to think about, because in the end, we accept the things that will impact our future.

What you say is very true. It is an obvious problem but no one seems to make it their own. People don't cause any situations any more.. they stumble into them - as most of them seem to think.
As long as we sweep things under the carpet, we deny our involvement, we deny responsibility and fail to see the truth in our realities, the problem will just get bigger and bigger.
Life is simple in the way it works, but we humans want to see it as a challenge, we like to make it complex and call it incomprehensible and call ourselves victims of the craziness of the world. We never deal with the problems, in fact, we never even acknowledge it. We only try and kick it as fast as you can to the corner - as fast as you can find a name to blame.
It might the neighbours fault, the other's fault, the media, the government, or simply the way life has turned out. But it is never our fault.
When will we cut the bull crap and realize that EVERYTHING is connected. Everything has an effect. Have you ever heard of butterfly effect?
One bad word to someone will make them resentful, which wil build up and become an abuse to another, which will in term become an act of violence on another and the chain never ends. The link of aggressor and receptor of the aggression is ever more present, and suddenly no one is responsible for anything.
If we have the ability to lay the blame on something like the media, the culture or the way we were brought up to act the way we do, then we obviously have the mind to choose mindfully another option - one we actually feel free to pick.
Wade, thanks for bringing this up. Keep on inspiring and touching people's lives.
