Dear Assholes,
Yes, you who threaten the young and ignore the seasoned professionals who could eat you for lunch and still order pudding. You who threaten activists less than half my age, you who are cowards and emotional intelligence morons. Eat me. Eat me and I will chew you up from the inside until you learn some fucking manners and humility. Climate change activists are trying to save the fucking planet. Black Lives Matter activists are trying to save society and inject some long overdue emotional intelligence to the masses, to help people of colour see their innate worth, their sacredness as part of humanity and creation. My platform is global, I shout long and loud - just not on fucking twitter or the regular channels. My impact is massive. I am an intellectual titian. So.... eat me! Eat me instead, come for a giant of social reform and evolution or realise how cowardly you are... or learn from me and join our side... we take converts too... It's up to you.

Emotional counselling, a check-in before duty, to establish if the officer is capable of effective decision making that day - especially with respect to empathy and logic - could reduce the impact of emotional indifference and aggressions rooted in other forms of stress upon vulnerable communities. Far from Robocop or Judge Dredd, we need Emo-Cop, we need Dr Banner Cop, we need Black Widow Cop. Otherwise there will be more black and brown widows, more grieving mothers and fathers, more kids at the funeral of a sibling. These are the stitches in time that save "nine." We need people who are in good enough emotional health to make great choices in high pressure and fast moving situations. This process may further accelerate community healing and thus trust in the public institution of policing if (whenever possible) the officer and counsellor are of different racial backgrounds. Developing such bonds can positively impact both conscious choices and subconscious biases.
Until there is equity of access to resources necessary for a comfortable and happy standard of living that respects the sanctity and rights of each person of our planet, we cannot say that we have truly learnt the lessons of all black lives matter. And in so doing, in lifting up all the poor of every ethnicity, in the giving of dignity, in the acknowledgement of their full humanity, there are the seeds of world peace. Love is always our answer. Not the soppy kind of love though. Not that. But the "I'd give my life for yours" kind of love. And that, my friends, isn't the ceiling, it's the minimum requirement.
When our institutions are there to love and support instead of dominate and subject, there will be an evolution of society and its institutions. Beware of revolutions, for their chaos soon becomes a negative chaos that kills in so many ways. Instead embrace social evolution, embrace the proliferation of deliberate positive chaos. Become a part of the bonding of all humanity as one species. When we have eradicated starvation and suffering globally, only then can westerners say that they have learned the value of lives, and, regardless of their skin hue, can deservedly say that they acted on the truth that all black lives matter.
All black lives matter, all around the globe. It matters that people have clean water. It matters that people have assured access to nutritional food. It matters that people have access to medicines and vaccines. It matters that there is space in daily living for joy, for artistic expression, for cultural vibrancy and bonding with others. All of this is vital if humanity is to survive into a sustainable future of peace. And for that to happen we will need to bring all of our creativity and ingenuity to the table, remove barriers, expand the frontiers of the possible with technology - and make a great future that works for all of creation.
