THE FORGOTTEN WORD “RESPECT”

THE FORGOTTEN WORD “RESPECT” By Joe Ingino BA. Psychology Editor/Publisher Central Newspapers ACCOMPLISHED WRITER/AUTHOR OF OVER 800,000 Published Columns in Canada and The United States I do not know about you. But I just about had enough with media broadcasts of punks going nose to nose with police. There these 120lb punks making threatening gestures in a police officers face. I look at this and can’t help to think to myself... I could never be a cop. I think as a society we need to have self respect first and then respect for your fellow man. You have rights and freedoms because of the efforts of many that had ultimate respect and sacrificed in the name of humanity. These punks in my opinion need to be dealt with extreme force. Mess up one or two and you will see that they will have a new found respect for police. The fact that police have to stand there and take it, is socially wrong. It shows total disrespect for society, for authority and most importantly for themselves. Where is the family of these punks? What happened to the education system that has not taught him/her respect for authority. I do not care the reason or excuse. A police officer approaches. You show respect. You follow instructions. You let them do the job. 99.99% of the time if you done nothing wrong. You will walk. The fact that you have a constitutional right to peacefully protest. Emotional affect of the constitutional right does not give you any right in becoming abusive and disrespectful. By the same token. You have no right telling a police officer your rights or how to do his or her job. This to me is nothing short of verbal abuse and the police in my opinion should have the right to arrest with force. Fear is great deterrent when it comes to preventing physical altercation. If the other person feels threatened. They will very unlikely become violent. This is the root of the argument that everyone should carry a gun that it sends a message to any possible threats that they will be met with force. Our youth are to soft and over opinionated. They seem to think they have some God given right and no responsibility for their actions. I think with the Trump wave sweeping North America. It is time to take our society back. You get in a police officer face. Expect to be man handled and taught respect. No more police stepping down. No more police risking life and limb to protect a punks perceived rights. Time for parents to take responsibility for their children action and punks need to be taught respect. What do you think?
