SOMEONE SPECIAL ONCE SAID THAT THE LAW WAS MADE FOR MAN AND NOT MAN FOR THE LAW.
THAT IS INDEED A DEEP SAYING.
LET IT SINK IN DEEP.
SO IN A WAY "MAN IS ABOVE THE LAW"
I REMEMBER ONCE WHEN THE POLICE WERE CALLED TO A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE SOME YOUNG GUYS WERE PLAYING BASKETBALL AND SOMEHOW DISTURBING THOSE THAT LIVED IN THE AREA., SHAQ WHO IS A VOLUNTEER POLICE MAN I BELIEVE ARRIVED WITH OTHER OFFICERS. HE IMMEDIATELY TOOK OFF HIS OUTER SHIRT AND JOINED THE BOYS IN PLAYING BASKETBALL. THE OTHER OFFICERS WITH HIM JOINED IN DOING THE SAME.
WHAT IS MY POINT IN THIS STORY?
SHAQ IMMEDIATELY ASSESSED THE SITUATION AND THE THEN USED AN UNUSUAL ROUTE OR METHOD TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. OF COURSE, THE BOYS STOPPED THEIR DISTURBANCE.
THERE WAS NOT YELLING, NO ARRESTING, NO INTIMIDATION.
SO ALSO IN EVERY SITUATION INVOLVING THE POLICE AND SUSPECTS, THE DIGNITY OF THE SUSPECTS SHOULD BE "TOP OF MIND?.
