The Uncounted

 

“Bill and Christine don’t celebrate Christmas or their birthdays anymore. They stopped going to Thanksgiving get-togethers. It feels awkward, like nobody knows what to say to them. It upsets them to see parents with their children. Lynne worked at Chili’s in high school, so if they go out, it’s usually there.”

 

“One tragic number is known: 22 veterans kill themselves every day. But another is not: How many military spouses, siblings and parents are killing themselves? What is war’s true toll?”

 

 

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

I can’t imagine much worse then to loose your children.

 

It’s strange how U.S. culture knows the psychological burden that veterans and their family go through – and yet the U.S. continues to invade sovereign countries and kill.

These police brutality videos prove the point that we see what we are looking for – even if what we see is false.

 

The tough part about being a police officer is that it’s your job to look for danger. But because you are always looking for danger, you end up seeing danger when no danger exists.
