Is Police Demilitarization the Solution?

       With a rising social awareness of police crimes I will be shifting some focus onto them and their brutality, But more specifically a solution to their madness. I will be comparing the difference between accountability and militarization.

       The Stop Militarizing Law Enforcement Act, spearheaded by Georgia Rep. Hank Johnson is a proposal that will cripple our nations ability to fight domestic terrorism. Being well armed does not make you a murder. While the growing concern for police behavior and this proposal seem to go hand in hand, they are unrelated.

       What congress should be looking into is a police accountability act. We need to find an effective way to hold the police accountable for their crimes against the people through non-violent means. Police are losing the respect they once had in this country because of their actions and if we do not restore this respect future generations of police. Below is a list of link detailing the Bill and police crimes. Remember to check out CopBlock to learn how to make a difference.

Fast Food Strikes Across the Nation

       This subject may be off topic for my normal posts about foreign policy but it is still something we need to confront as a society. Is it a CEO's responsibility to care about you'r kids or you'r house? Is it society's responsibility to give you a livable wage? Are you entitled to get paid because of you'r bad life decisions?

       Low end workers across the country are striking because they desire and rightfully so, a livable wage. But why do they feel the need to cast the blame of their suffering onto other people? A feeling of entitlement is sweeping western culture and is showing no sign of an end. This type of cultural pollution will eventually lead to the same kind of worker revolts that lead to Nazism or Communism. Low end workers tend to be uneducated, that's why they are low end workers in the first place. Do not let them attempt to dictate national policy.

       A business does not care what kind of a house you want or how many kids you have to feed. They want to create a product cheaply, and workers sign they are willing to accept low payment for the contractual work they are applying for. their never appears a block for do you want a three story house on an application.

       If workers feel they are worth more than they are getting paid they should seek employment elsewhere. Now sometimes they think the lack of an education is an excuse for why they cannot find other employment. That's not McDonald's fault! it's not my fault, it's not you'r fault and it is not society's fault. It is damn sure the workers fault and now they need to live with their mistakes and get over it.
