When Political Positions Fail to Carryout Their Duties - Will Accountability Emerge?

The below headline (09.06.21) is undoubtedly unfair as its broad stroke labels democratic mayors as a unified group, insensitive to the ripping apart of the social fabric.

However, many are asking:

(1) what is the motivation for this refusal.
 ]
(2) how many "victims" must there be before those who refuse action are held accountable?

(3) When will accountability be leveled for failure to perform one's oath and duties, for recompensation of loss, injury, and death, and in that failure receive an adequate penalty?

No person of any race, gender, education, religion, place of abode, and numerous other identifiers should be victimized by those who were elected to preserve the peace, protect, and be a good steward of public well-being and safety.  To act like the headline indicates, there are serious issues of mental health, myopic and prejudicial beliefs, and/or some gain that is hidden from the public where personal benefit supersedes humanity.

In Philadelphia alone this year, 137 children under age 18 have been shot in city
neighborhoods, and 32 have died.


Amid surging crime in Pennsylvania’s largest cities, it remains unclear if Democratic leadership is up to the task of ensuring law and order.

  The Division is Not Happenstance! BLOG Vo. 1, No. 2 07.08.21 What we hear, see, and contemplate as a public! I.   Introduction, Voices Across America [1] . "America and worldwide concern regard the effort of change and offer a variety of comments.   Negative aspects illustrate multiple events and stockade attitudes whose impact constantly 'stir the pot' and result in pandemonium. The outcome is a constant hum of noise which has become irritating in its altered misrepresentation. The examples presented represent not events with requisite facts; rather, they are the unknown individuals' desired depiction of limited value.   That is a sorry state of affairs, but as often said, “it is what it is!” like it or not! There is no end to the examples that occur and reoccur, impacting daily life.   The diversity of cultures, philosophy, individualism, personal drive, assumed power over people is misused and a continuum ranging from altruistic to total control, ...

                   Informed or Uninformed - - A dilemma of Proportions Information on the below article (" More Americans now say the government should take steps to restrict false information online than in 2018" – Pew Research Center ) is an illustration of why more information is needed. The article by two Pew Research writers represents a single aspect of a complex problem.  The analysis falls short.  Yes, it carries value, but we must also determine the underlying question to identify its parameters, seek depth of understanding, and engage in analysis to guide sustainable solutions.  Excellent decisions can emerge from in-depth knowledge, having drilled down into its historical underpinning and enabling appropriate analysis.  Ignoring those aspects, too often commonplace, is analogous to  observing the opposite side of the stream, prepare to leap, but not judge the distance . I accept the author's com...

  Lead from the Front By Richard C. Lumb Disagreement in Washington leads to occasional insults, disparaging comments, irrational behavior, mindless nonsense, threats, and a spoiled child syndrome personified.  This behavior is illustrated by:   §   The person displays immature and childish behavior, is focused on self, and lacks consideration for others. §   The person will also throw tantrums on minor issues and also resorts to manipulative and controlling behavior. §   In extreme cases, the person can also get into physical aggressiveness and violent behavior to fulfill their demands.   The opposite behavior is maturity, the validity of decisions, and respected commentary.  Personal engagement to determine facts and courage is expected.  These are indicators of adulthood, caring, and seek sustainable solutions to problems. For example, the following article explains a decision by Maine’s Representative Golden, “ Rep. Golden, 8 other centri...
