In response to far too many unjustified killings of unarmed citizens by the police - whose salaries we pay in good faith to serve and protect the public good and safeguard our children - we must collectively refuse to tolerate the intolerable any longer. In our own defense, we must insist that no one is above the law - especially not the very law officers who should serve as role models. To wit, police should never be allowed to serve as judge, jury, and executioner. Moreover, police should never be allowed to fire any weapon with impunity, no matter how scared they are. Anyone so easily scared should never be allowed near a firearm, much less hired as a police officer, where bravery, compassion, intelligence, and integrity should be the primary job requirements.
