violence and denial

the threats and punishments system of law making and law enforcement to control people's behavior is violence by definition. so there's already that disconnect.

and if something like 65% of cops are violent towards their spouses, how can we expect any of them to not be violent towards people they perceive to be a threat to the structure of society and a system that places them in a position of authority over others?

so why are we calling on a violent institution of societal control to control the violence that they perpetuate? it doesn't make sense.

what if all the soldiers they send in decide to kneel instead, to protect the citizens instead of waging war on them, like they thought their job was supposed to be when they signed up?

because who really cares if starbucks has to replace a few windows, anyway? how is that more important than people?
