How come it doesn’t bother anyone that they are making judgments about police
and policing based on a tiny fraction of police encounters that are sensational and have been reported on and blown up out of all proportion to reality. Millions of
Police Encounters a day and we are making judgments based on less than a dozen in the past year. Yes, each is tragic but when the police claim it is just a few bad apples aren’t they right ?
When did we as a nation lose all perspective about absolutely everything ? We
are addicted to hyperbole and over the top emotionalism. No matter what the issue, policing or Iran, even climate change, the positions have to be extreme and the arguments apocalyptic.
We are all sure of a reality that isn’t real, a reality that we have to make up as we go because the barrage of information and opinion comes at us so fast that we can’t stitch it together into a true picture of anything in time to make rational judgments. No sooner do we think we have a handle on something then more pieces are flying at us and the truth seems written on a palimpsest constantly being erased and rewritten. Most people just give up and never rethink their positions.
We are now a society and culture in free fall, no new ideas of any substance, no leadership with any vision and no art with any real meaning. The age of television and social media has led to intellectual atrophy and rendered us incapable of solving our problems or seeing them clearly.
" Obey The Law and You Will Have No Problems "
SIMPLE ENOUGH !
