““The violence must stop.”
I like the way he uses a pleading, powerless passive voice, as if just pleading will cause some fairy to wave a magic wand and make it stop. What a eunuch!”
A better statement would be, “I have authorized my police force to use deadly force were it is legal.”
That damn violence! We need to ask that violence to stop! Violence, if you don't stop, we are going to be really angry with you! What do think of that, huh, violence? You'll be sorry! So stop, OK?
