In general, I wish to suggest that we as a land could stand to put on a more positive mindset.

Rather than “anti-brutality” we could focus on “pro-humanity.” The one will exclude the other, and good is more powerful than evil.

I would never want to have a country on this mortal coil that forbade arms, and yet if that became our first resort when encountering trouble then we would have thrown something valuable away too. This is where something higher even than our Constitution has to be allowed to speak. Something from heaven itself.

“Pro-humanity” is a two way street. Civility and the social contract only apply if all those involved honor it. Juries enforce it using the assumption that those who break it first are the more guilty, and they look more favorably on those who, once it is broken, try to restore it.

The biggest offender of all is not a person, but alcohol and drugs, because they strip people of their civility and let their uncivilized personality come to the fore.
