Violence runs on ignorance, fear & misinformation fomenting hatred. It is always about power, petty, political, sexual, economic. Education in empathy, trust, respect & desire to approach truth & seek justice is the response.

If you wait until the businesses are no longer profitable there will be no money to pay for the massive unfunded cleanup liabilities for the industry. I talked about a lot of these concepts in this piece.

No masks, name badges, no color coded stops, no warrant-no entry, no arrest, uniform uniforms, real training and certification (no Proud Boy tiki-torch beer camp out).
