Uncle Mike has been a rock in my life for many years and I can honestly say he’s contributed to the man I am today. He knew how to deal with me in a way that opened my eyes to reality. Sometime kids need a heavy dose of reality to get them on the right track.
I think I’m most disturbed having the racism in our judicial system confirmed. Jay thanks for remembering the names of all those who have senselessly lost their lives at the hands of violent police officers using excessive force. I always viewed officers as a cut above the rest of society but how these young men were treated proved otherwise. It was hard at first, then it was just shocking as the reality of it set in. The horror was compounded by our judicial system negating accountability. It was horrifying and the trauma is still very real.
My hope is in the leaders of our group and those like them all around the world. I’m very proud of my father. He is responsible and his responsibility is full of love and makes us all feel a sense of safety and contentment.
