I came across this ...

... while looking for a link:

There is no shame to a cop in not beating every person who doesn't immediately obey your command. The same can't be said for beating a mentally challenged young man like Jesse.

Wouldn't it be nice if the police wanted to command respect, instead of demanding respect?

This is sad

A 21 year old man loses his life playing with a firearm:

“It was almost like a toy to them,” Sonya Cockrell said. “We both lectured him over and over about it. We just felt they didn’t have respect for it the way we felt like they should have respect for it. ... They were playing with a gun.”

Firearms are not toys, they're tools. It's sad that a man had to lose his life to drive the point home.

Respect ...

Maybe he'll get a little, now that things are real for him.
