love for law enforcement

there is a concept that the poor

who get harrassed by the police

either hate or fear or are angry with the police

or they are drug addicts. dealing, buying, using drugs.

they don't know how to communicate in love. they fight, hair is pulled out,

there is domestic violence.

and so a show like cops increases the anger, the fear, the hatred,

the suffering between the poor and the police.

but if buddha were here, he would not want there to be fear, hatred, anger, fleeing,

etc.

and drug addiction is a kind of slavery. the buddha would want you free of that slavery.

so if you struggle, if you fight, if you increase the hatred,

then you are merely increasing the conflict.

better to work, like the dalai lama does about tibetan issues,

in a spirit of harmony, with the belief that in the long term

love conquers hate.
