Get Fearless

The only antidote to being afraid is to get fearless. And anyone who would evoke fear is not fearless. Cops or criminals that brutalize people are the worst kind of coward since they think that ruling by fear would somehow make them respected.

But this sort of respect is temporary and false. It is merely coercion and that of course is criminal.  It is only a matter of time that the feared become the enemy and they themselves become so paranoid that they can no longer consider fearlessness as a possibility.

Then, it is the cop that becomes the criminal and when that happens a police state manifests and nearly everyone gets terrified. 

When we think of fearless people, Gandhi, Mandela, MLK, Harvey Milk, and Malala come to mind. And, that fearlessness never involved packing or using a firearm. 

The fearless person is unarmed, approachable, serene, and confident. This alone gives the fearless hero the proper sort of authority. 

The ordinary citizen who follows a fearless leader does so by example. Heroes are always fearless, but anyone can be fearless. 

Any coward that would intimidate or brutalize anyone is in league with the devil. And it is always the calling card of the devil to inflict and promote fear.

The fearless person is a loving person, so compassionate that fear has no power or impact. 

Cops that expect to be considered an authority in any given situation must be fearless, so fearless that they never would need to rely on fear, as an action or a reaction, to fulfill their professional obligations to society.

Cops that are run by fear and evoke fear are not well trained. They are misled and that needs immediate correction.
