ALL Lives Matter
Start writing a post

We live in a world where "getting even" is more valuable than a human life. We live in a world where because of a single human beings wrongdoing, a whole nation-wide fleet is targeted.

It is apparent to everyone in this day in age, a human's life is not worth what it used to be in another human beings eyes. How is that the case? Where is the humanity?

It is DISGUSTING to me that 5 officers will never go home to see their families again. Their families will always have an extra seat at the table & a broken heart because people wanted to "get the police back". It is also disgusting to me that 11 were SHOT. If you are against violence, be against ALL OF IT. Do not pick and choose what side you're on because you are a hypocrite if you do so. Don't preach that you are against police brutality but then find nothing wrong with brutality towards the police.

It's to the point where I can honestly say I am ashamed to be a human being. Black, white, cop, or not- if an innocent HUMAN is shot and killed, it is absolutely unacceptable. You are DISGUSTING if you think otherwise. What ever happened to not stereotyping a whole entire group based on the actions of one single person. How can you target a whole police fleet simply because there was only one terrible officer. That is disgusting. It is 2016, people fail to realize that he said she said needs to end because our nation, even world, is being destroyed. Where are our morals? Why are we going back in time and not moving forward?

It actually hurts me to have to see on social media slogans such as "Saying all police are bad is like saying all blacks are thugs, all Hispanics are illegal, all Muslims are terrorists, all whites are racists." We shouldn't be stereotyping anyone.

To live in a world where we need to be scared to live our lives in absolutely unacceptable. Being a human being should not be this terrifying.

My heart is with ALL affected by the shootings this past weekend. & let us all try to remember that police officers keep us safe EVERYDAY. Just because A FEW officers abuse their power does not mean ALL officers are the same way. The media is very one-sided and tends to brainwash people who aren’t educated. We as a whole need to rise above that. We need to understand that the media instigates many things, the idea of a race war and a war on all police happens to be high on that list.

As the daughter of a fallen officer who lost his life protecting us from terrorism, my heart is with the police officers families that have been affected.

My heart is breaking, Stay Strong Dallas.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
