I've been paying attention to the news again while I make my choice as to which thought to follow next. This is never a good thing, because it just gets me all fired up about things I can't change....like the police departments across the United States.
In the mid-west, we have primarily black neighborhoods being patrolled by white officers who seem to think it's fine to shoot unarmed people rather than arrest them and have to deal with a trial.
All over the United States, there are stories of injustices served up by power-mad police officers, such as a recent one coming out of the next town over in which a 17-year-old girl filed charges against a 30-year-old at a group home, but instead of bringing the summons to the accused and getting a signature that he'd been properly served, they sent the summons through the mail. The accused, much like the witches in Salem, Massachusetts, is sitting in jail, unable to make bail or provide for his family, for not appearing for a court date that he didn't know he had to appear for because the post office lost the summons letter.....
There are seriously days that I fear for my country when these are the people who are supposed to be upholding the laws that our crooked politicians put onto the books...........
