What everyone should agree on, though, is that we need a better way to hold police officers accountable when they use excessive force, such as putting their knees on the necks of civilians who are not resisting arrest. We also need to hold police officers accountable when they attack civilians who are simply exercising their First Amendment right to peacefully protest.
Police officers like Chauvin should not only be fired, they should be prosecuted and held responsible for their actions. If any one of us were to attack another person without provocation, we would be arrested and charged. If any one of us were to kill another person without justification, we would be arrested and charged. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. — Thomas Jefferson, Encyclopedia of T. Jefferson, 318, Foley, Ed., reissued 1967. |
