                 A TIME when even an ASP-rank officer could be trusted with a difficult inquiry and be expected to deliver while staying impartial, impartial, and free of partiality. Even high-level committees and commissions today frequently have questionable credibility.   Nearly everyone has been impacted at some point or another by the rising crime rate and the decline in police professionalism. As politics has permeated officialdom and civil officials have been persuaded to enter politics, we have progressively achieved mind-boggling levels of inefficiency.   The worst kind of tyranny is when our rulers follow a colonial paradigm, utilizing the police to enslave their own people.

Many refer to it as the gift of words. It could also be referred to as the curse of language, in some circles.   According to Neil deGrasse Tyson, if intelligent aliens from a distant planet ever come into contact with humanity, they would only be able to communicate via arithmetic and science. Words would be meaningless in this circumstance. Additionally, throughout human history, words have caused problems in the shape of wars, cultural misunderstandings, religious dogmas, racial and national hatreds, etc. Words and numbers differ significantly in one important way: only numbers are truthful.   That truism, however, is actually badly misunderstood. The reason is that, although words are capable of c
