4. I honestly don't know what to do with this and my emotions/thoughts about it

I couldn't even finish watching the video after the cop pulled his gun looking up the stairs where the husband and kids were. I'm still sort of mentally stuttering. What the hell are the guns for? Whatever this was it wasn't about a violent crime so why the guns?

We must change things in this country. I haven't felt ok about 'Defund the Police' but now I'm thinking maybe that is exactly what we need to do before the police and fascists take over this country. I'm not an alarmist normally, but this really, really upset me.

I don't know how to respond responsibly. I honestly don't know if I can face the next 47 days. Yeah, I'm pretty upset.
