How to use violence in a sentence?
Impunity is one of the driving factors of the crisis. Individuals implicated in war crimes in the past are free to commit new crimes. Unless you stop that cycle, violence will continue. We can't wait until the conflict is over to bring them to justice.
To use violence against a peaceful man is the greatest immorality and the biggest rot ever!
He's the one who's telling us he's not going to charge people with gun crimes and fully prosecute them, according to the law. So it's just lip service from people like him. And unfortunately, that has real-world consequences, every single police action, whether it's a domestic violence response like this or a traffic stop, has the potential of going south. And if police officers are not going to be protected by the law, if the prosecutors are going to go after the people, then we have to reconsider whether it's even worth the risk of sending cops in the first place.
Our hearts ache for victims of the senseless violence that has been inflicted on the community.
I’m ashamed that it became a savage display of violence that day. And I would have never been there if I had a clue it was going to turn out that way, it was never my intent to be a part of anything that’s so disgraceful to our American people.
