I’m 67 and I’ve only a handful of contacts with the police, two were traffic-related, and I called the police on 3 occasions. All these went well and every incident was peaceful.

Wanna bet? Not everyone has enjoyed having the city looted and burned. And if this gets moved out to the American part of the state then there is a very good chance he walks.

The government isn’t going to teach people right from wrong.

Every community wants murderers and thugs off the streets. Black and white.

Your assessment may be correct. But now you are getting into social engineering, which is not ever been successful.

The family and the community does that, and the government absolutely can interfere with it.

Banning prayer in public schools is an example. Paying women to have babies out of wedlock is another example. Allowing people to eat without having to work for their bread is another example. Homosexual marriage, Abortion on demand and women in the military are all examples of bad morality being forced on the population by the government.

No, the government doesn't teach morality, but they can certainly make it difficult to impossible for those who do to accomplish it.

Every community wants murderers and thugs off the streets. Black and white.

I do not doubt that at all.

I am not advocating "social engineering." I'm advocating for the government to get out of the business of "social engineering." They have made a mess of it.

While I’m in quarantine and can’t see my students, I imagine their predominantly minority faces and wonder how can I keep them from a similar fate?

If you'd like to help, you might suggest a public service video...

In a city like Seattle, the union may be the only protection cops have.

Animals are going to be animals. That’s the one and only problem.
