It all Begins

Well this is my first shot at a blog so I guess I should start off with a brief introduction. I’m 21 in the military and a third generation Law Enforcement Officer. I grew up around this sort of work as my father has put 18 years behind his badge and my Uncle put in 20 years as well. Growing up I have seen and heard many stories and have been exposed to some of the most vile of scum that walk these streets, the dregs of humanity if you will. The rapists, murderers, child molesters, and some downright psychopaths, and throughout the years I have always wondered what I would do with my life. I can confidently say that on a very sad day in January 2007 when Sgt Nicholas G Sottile was killed in cold blood. The perps reasoning for killing a God fearing, family oriented man whose sole purpose in this life was to protect and serve, and was only a few months from retirement? Well he just wanted to kill a cop plain and simple. Where has humanity fallen to that people go around and kill those who are sworn to protect and serve. Well I think the majority of that problem lies within the subject area of tolerance.

First let’s start off with the definition of tolerance; it has many definitions but I chose the one that fits the purpose for which I have intended it for. Throughout this blog I will be all over the page covering ethics, laws, infamous court cases, religion and the like.

a : sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one's own b : the act of allowing something
We will observe how far humanity has fallen. How in most cases we allow emotions to cloud judgment and reason. How the pack mentality is alive and well. How we let celebrities influence our lives so strongly. And if you deny that you have not been associated with at least one of these at one point in your life, you’re a liar.

In the coming days I will bring up the finer details of these examples and many more areas where I have observed a breakdown in human will and ability to think for themselves. Having been an MP for almost 2 years now I see fully what my father sees in people. As a Cop we always see people for who they truly are. Sitting across a table from them in a small room sitting in silence you learn their life story and every dirty little secret in their life. Hell most of the time you leave that room knowing them better than their friends and family.
