Remember the days when the police were brave and protected us? Did such a time exist or were they always more afraid than we are? (Real questions, I don't know the history.)

Habakkuk 1:2-4
Lord, how long shall I cry help, & you will not listen?
Cry violence & you will not save?
Why make me see wrongdoing & trouble?
Destruction & violence, strife & contention arise.
The law becomes slack; justice never prevails.
The wicked surround the righteous; judgment is perverted.

Amos 8:4-7 Listen, you who trample the needy, and bring to ruin the poor, listen you who rush to make food servings smaller and more expensive, listen you with false balances and you who fail to leave the last of the harvest for the poor.
God promises not to forget your deeds.

1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
They are piercing a lot of other people with grief, too.

They shall be the first into exile.

When God began creating ... the earth was complete chaos, ... God said, “Let there be light,” it was. God saw the light was good (from Gen 1:1-4).
Remember that it is in chaos that new things are created. Look for what is good, water it, and tend it, celebrate each small good thing.

I'm a Christian. As such I'm in favor of protecting all people from gun violence. Strict training, licensing, and restrictions on capacity. And I believe in the constitution and the right to states to maintain well regulated militias.
Only love overcomes hate. Only light overcomes shadows.
