From a brilliant young writer. This article is bound to get both sides talking. When I proposed a hypothetical situation to my 20 year old daughter, she had what I would consider a reasonable response. The hypothetical was that she was at work and they get caught off guard and rioters begin to loot and destroy her place of work. What would she do? She said she would get out as safely as she can and let them have at it. Rational, right? To me and millions like me, it is.
Now, add a layer. You’re the owner of a family business. Ok, let’s add all the emotional triggers. You put you’re blood, sweat and tears into it. What would you do? Hopefully the same thing. Although, it’s not as easy for many, just to walk away.
I say these because, In situations such as the two hypotheticals, it was really the duty of people we hired or elected to do their job. We have empowered them to protect us. We gave them the enormous legal, moral and ethical use of force. Unfortunately, just like what happened to George Floyd, the people we hired and elected to protect us, didn’t. We were betrayed by them. To be clear, not all of them, but enough for us to say where we’re you and why didn’t you do your job?
Daniel Horowitz’s article is to inform (for some remind) us that we gave our elected leaders enormous power, to primarily, protect us,- and they didn’t.
