[QUOTE="YukonGlocker, post: 3016561, member: 425"] I agree with most of this. But I won't "sit back and watch" as the supreme leader of our police force purposely harms police/community relations--at the minimum, he'll be called out on it. Of course we can choose to wait for another leader, but I get the sense that most of the country is tired of the empty rhetoric and waiting for the next one. People from all perspectives are more engaged now, and overall that is a good thing...whoever is in office, any office, will be held to their word and job-duty. That's not whining. That's public engagement, and will lead to change (change that is balanced by the parties--see the TED talk I just posted for details). The election of Trump was a change, just not the change everyone thought it would be...however, it's a change in public engagement, which is healthy and good for our country. We'll be allright.
