Your job is to put a finger in those holes and to stop the flow of water.
You're not an architect and you're not a mechanical engineer.
You're not a construction company.
And that was the same role as military members with boots on the ground, right?
You're doing the best you can in the moment with the tools and information that you have in the hopes that there's a mechanical engineer and architect somewhere trying to figure out a way to build a better bridge or dam or whatever metaphor you would like to use as you are supporting that piece of infrastructure.
This may be impossible for you to do.
And I was actually just having this conversation yesterday.
I'm really glad that I am not judged solely on my failures and mistakes in life.
And when you are looking up some of these people, you are seeing only their failures and mistakes in life.
I've never once logged onto a computer in a police car, so I don't know exactly what you have access and information to.
But I bet you it's not the greatest hits of success in people's lives.
It's probably touch points with law enforcement, crimes, whether or not they've been to jail, things that have hit radar of law enforcement agencies today.
Which doesn't happen on your best day.
That happens on people's worst days or for broken and damaged people that are predatory just on days because that's who they are.
And those people I agree with you should be locked up and have the key thrown away depending obviously on what it is that they did.
But you're only seeing that.
the mistakes people have made or the failures.
And that doesn't excuse those mistakes or failures, but just remember, it doesn't paint an entire picture of those people.
And I have, as I get older in life, I am doing my best to absolutely put myself
and other people's shoes.
