What's required in these situations is a few folks standing up and giving courage to other folks, and then more people stand up and kind of go like, yeah, no, that's not who we are.
That's not our idea of America.

masked folks with rifles and machine guns patrolling our streets.
We want cops on the beat who know the neighborhood and the kids around.
And that's how we keep the peace around here.
We don't want...
You know, kangaroo courts and trumped up charges.
That's what happens in other places that we used to scold for doing that.
We want like our court system and our justice department and our prosecutors to be and our FBI to be just playing things straight and looking at the facts and not meddling in politics the way we've seen lately.
