Cheri Moore case indictments
With all the hubub in the Times-Standard about the recently indicted police commanders that gave the orders to have Cheri Moore fatally shot, I thought it was time I commented. Why was there so much force on that day? Couldn't the Mental Health Dept. have been called in to talk with this lady? Did she really need to perish on that day? These are some questions I would like answered and when I hear the term "JUSTICE" portrayed in print or in the media why does it always mean RETRIBUTION . For the record,and remember you heard it here first, :RETRIBUTION IS NO SOLUTION!! It just keeps the battle going. Do we learn humility through humiliation? If prison and jails actually worked, wouldn't we need less of them and not more ? If we could enforce our way to peace and happiness,wouldn't it have been accomplished in the 2500 yrs. that the approach has been tried ? Real "JUSTICE" would be to insure a prosperous society for all because the real enemies are POVERTY and US VS.THEM THINKING. That's right we're all ONE: the trees that grow,the ocean waves,the wind and sunrise,and your very life--no difference! Then from that we can love our neighbors as ourselves because in fact we are our neighbors! End poverty,violence ,and racism and replace it with genuine love and commpassion for ourselves. That's why even if the commanders are found guilty--which there is a presumption of innocence until a verdict has been rendered-- I say NO JAIL TIME ! Cheri Moore is dead and nothing will bring her back. I would like to see all of law enforcement go through sensitivity training and have a civilian review board, after all our taxes pay their salaries they should be accountable to WE THE PEOPLE. Unquestioned obedience is not patriotic it's just NEUROTIC!
