Search Results: pressing charges

I'm in love, no need to sugar coat it. It's unrequited (to the best of my knowledge) and it's so hard. It's not the first time this has happened.. I liked a guy for five years that I didn't know well. We were close as kids but I liked the idea of him rather than truly him because I didn't truly know him as we grew older and apart. I moved on, and it took confirmation of nothing ever happening, but it did eventually pass. I now like this other guy and at the beginning I was so aware of everything so I decided to approach every step of this as prayerfully and as honestly as possible. I want to Glorify God with everything I do, and although marriage and that guy seem like a shiny jewel, it's nothing compared to the love I have for God. That doesn't make this painless though. He's in my Bible study group, I see him at church, I serve in kids programs alongside him, and any time I'm hanging with my friend group, he's there. I can't ignore him. I don't want to either, because I know that God is in charge and that he will resolve my feelings and my circumstances. I know that we go through trials in life that grow our faith, and I know I must choose one or the other, but I guess due to a lot of circumstances (which I don't have time or space to get into), right now is just a very difficult and pressing time for me in life. I like him for the right reasons, but I feel so heartbroken and heavy around him. And as I mentioned before, that's very often. I'm considering leaving my group, which would be so hard because it's like family to me, but I don't know what trial would bring God more glory. Leaving and trusting him through the pain in that, or staying and continuing to feel heartbroken and unable to say/do anything. I know that God is ultimately good and I'm so excited to see His plans for me, but right now I feel like I have to make an active choice in either staying or leaving for another group even if both choices are equally difficult for different reasons. Any advice?

@“GOP senators are set to introduce legislation Thursday that would enact federal penalties for criminals who purposefully target law enforcement officers with violence.

The Protect and Serve Act would make it a “federal crime to knowingly cause, or attempt to cause, serious bodily injury to a law enforcement officer”.

Offenders face up to 10 years imprisonment, but could receive life if the offense includes attempted murder, kidnapping, attempted kidnapping or if a death results from the act.”

“I introduced the Protect and Serve Act, legislation that creates federal penalties for individuals who target law enforcement with violence. It's time to pass this legislation and send a clear message that acts of violence like this are unacceptable.“
-Senator Tillis.

🤔🧐🤔 Currently is NOT legal to touch a cop, let alone harm a cop- to the point People have zero recourse in the event of abuse by cop. If you react you incur more charges, if lucky. Die, if less lucky... My concern is this will be used easily against powerless people as it feeds the narrative cops are vulnerable to abuse, when this is not a pressing problem, the inverse is more on the nose.

Let’s be realistic we all know “acts like this are not acceptable”... So what is the purpose of trying to highlight what is already well known & understood?

I question the motive of this Act. The symbolism is unneeded... Looks like an effort to positively magnify and normalize preexisting imbalance of power. A reminder in relation to a police person humans, are helpless and expendable. (not all cops are bad of course. This does not solve the problem that not all cops are good & ALL wield IMMENSE power over pretty much Whomever they choose, exempting the rich)

In addition, Possible potential tool, to frame “undesirables” As federal charges result in heavier harsher and or more intractable sentencing.

While Im inclined to agree with this lawyer, I Suspect it has motive beyond grand standing. 👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿
