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 |
| Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.... We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price. — Ronald Reagan |
