As I have said, for many years. Not all police officers are bad!!! Compared to the numbers, it’s just a few. Everyone shouldn’t be punished for what a few have done. Remember this, there is something wrong with all of us. The question is how much and how well we manage it. If you live on earth for thirty years or more,, there will be something wrong with you.. maybe, not this or that,, but something.. This has made me ill. G.H.C.
