Tuesday June 2nd (aka I Am Ashamed Of My Country)

The last few days have made me embarrassed to be an American. People are hurt and angry and yet nothing ever seems to change. It has to, or this will just keep escalating. As I have posted on my FB timeline, we can do this. The mayor of Louisville KY did the right thing by firing the police chief when it was found that 2 of his officers did not have their body cams turned on during a shooting. The police chief is responsible for the conduct of his staff.

President Obama has a great post on his FB page about ways we can make changes. The biggest one? Be active and vote. People think voting is just for the president but they forget - those elections also decide the mayors, judges, governors, district attorneys, city councils, county commissions, etc -- ALL the people who can make a direct impact. Sad to say, but no matter who the president is, they have very little impact on your daily life. Don't like the way the people in your area are treated by the police? Talk to his boss - the mayor. Go to the meetings, be vocal. Make life better for everyone.

Sigh... back to flipping the porn burgers..
