Expecting better already.

I plan to listen to this in the future.

After reading...

"More than our Confederate statues need a second look"

Which happened after reading...

The Nightmarish Reality of Evil Imagination" – Miriam Gross

Which happened after I accidentally came across this story yesterday...

And I do see why Maura and Brendan expect people to be better.

What if the police dogs can be trained to smell out a suspect instead of biting them? What if they are not here for the purpose of entertaining the other "not technically criminal" but still violent and unwell humans of Facebook?

Maybe the K-9s deserve better.

Maybe they deserve a more thoughtful audience, and handlers who don't need to be the cultivators of violence and dehumanization while they're in their spheres of influence.
