Giving up humanity

An 84 year old woman, Dorli Rainey was doused with pepper spray by police. Jennifer who was two months pregnant suffered the same treatment. These are the inhumane incidents of war by police on unarmed civilians peacefully asserting their rights. The police may claim they are a public danger but they can only convince their superiors and those who have lost their humanity. They can spin that their public protection or public safety from the nonviolent public for only so many years before the inhumanity of their behavior will shine through. Police are the public enemy. Police are the protectors of the privileged few. Police have lost touch of their founding principles of protecting and serving the public good. They are protecting and serving the corruption and injustices perpetuated upon the public. In order to do this they sacrifice their humanity.
