I do not understand the culture of violence, and I do not understand why someone would want to beat someone to death. I have seen people with bad tempers, and I do not like to be around those kind of people. Violent people with bad tempers suck.
I do not like the violence when the cops do it, and I do not like violence period.
I have seen movies where all that they do is fight for 2 hours, and I hate those kind of movies. I find no joy in watching people fight. I like Boxing, and I have a friend who owns a gym for professional Boxers, but Boxing is a sport and the Boxers are athletes with a lot of dedication, these young people really train hard to Box. But, when it comes to movies, I want a story, and I want love, and beautiful women, etc. My movies and poetry are all about love.
And for the police, they are supposed to be out there to Serve and Protect. The children are taught to look up to Police and to look up to Fire Fighters, and they need to be men of respect and honor.
I almost moved to Memphis, I rode a Greyhound bus across the country from Nevada to Florida, and then back from Florida to Nevada, and the buses zig zagged across the nation and so I was able to see a lot of the USA, and I loved Memphis, I ate lunch at a McDonald's in Memphis and the people were very nice, I liked Memphis. And then the book "The Firm" is set in Memphis, the book is better than the movie which starred Tom Cruise. Memphis is a cool place. Memphis is one of my favorite cities in the USA. It is sad that the cops committed this crime in Memphis.
And yes Bambu, people are allowed to spank their kids in the USA, but in Psychology class in college they teach people not to spank the kids. So the poor uneducated people beat their kids, but the educated people are more civilized. But, the sad thing when baby-sitting kids who are used to being spanked, then you need to spank them. But, like with my Father before he died, he never beat me, he would talk with me, and he would teach me to understand, and I would cry if I disappointed him, I loved him and I wanted him to be proud of me and so I never wanted to disappoint him. My Dad never had to beat me.
One thing too that I noticed, is that there are ignorant evil people and that is all that they have is being tough and violent, without that then they have nothing. So, if the little guy has a gun then that big violent asshole has no power over him. Guns stop bullies. It does not matter how big or evil the bad guy is if the good guy has a gun. The same with women who live alone, they are safe if they have a gun, the bad guy has no power over a gun. All of the rich single women in Beverly Hills have guns, you can bet on it.
Anyhow, I hate bullies, and I hate violence, and I hate that these cops beat this young man to death in Memphis. Memphis needs to clean house on their whole police department and they need to retrain and educate their force. And we need for the cops to be a good part of the community instead of being bullies and murderers.
Salute,
Tony V.
