If we need a para-military police force, then what does that say about us as a nation?

If we as a nation give immunity to the police to kill people, then what does that say about us as a nation?

If the ONLY solution to violent crime is violent cops, then what does that say about us as a nation?

If spending money on the people is wasteful, but buying military equipment for the cops is a good investment, then what does that say about us as a nation?

Great nations do not allow their cops to torture and kill its citizens.

Great nations do not have para-military police.

Great nations don't have the level of social, economic, and political inequality.

We are a warmongering nation.

We are a nation that does not believe in equality.

We are a nation that does not prosecute the rich who steal our wealth.

We don't give a damn about Native Americans.

We don't give a damn about blacks.

We don't give a damn about immigrants.

We don't give a damn about children.

We don't give a damn about health care.

We don't give a damn about education.

We don't give a damn about child care.

This country doesn't give a damn about anything but false religion, power, and wealth.
