of racism, white supremacy, nazism, bullying (including domestic abuse).

The police need to know that THEY are not making the rules, and they CAN NOT hide behind a blue wall of prejudice and bigotry.

Then we go on to the military.

It has to be rooted out at all levels of EVERY institution. We should be ashamed to have racists, bullies, nazis and white supremacist fighting and defending the foundations of our democracy.

We can NEVER adhere to the jingo-isms of:

My country, right or wrong. NO, wrong is NEVER right.
Better red than democrat. If so, you are a COMMUNIST.
Love it or leave it. NO, you love it and FIX it.
