I thought a lot today about the people who were killed or injured in the January 6, 2021 riot at Capitol Hill. The police officer wo died as a result of injuries inflicted by the rioters, and at least 4 other officers who completed suicide within a few months of that day. What does it say to the families of those officers, that those convicted of criminal acts on that day have had their sentences commuted? What does it say to all those American kids who've been taught that their elected officials are there to uphold the law and defend the constitution?
I appreciate you synthesizing a drama, John Truby and current politics! In other words, art, theory and reality. We really need to think about the significance of all these stories we consume.
