Psalm 85:10
Steadfast love and faithfulness meet
righteousness and peace
kiss each other.
We have been adjusting for many years. The United States Constitution was drafted by men who feared the unresponsiveness of Government. The Beauty is we are allowed by law to vote and 2/3rd's of State Legislatures create a Constitutional Amendment.
We are in Unprecedented Times
now moving into a repeat, repeat, repeat Civil Unrest over a Civil Injustice we can Correct and Amend Constitutionally.

William Wilberforce would be surprised if we called him a pirate.
And yet, William Wilberforce is the Father and Force ending the Slave Trade in Europe and in the United States, covering the world. William Wilberforce's Name Today is a Mighty Force. Wilberforce convinced all his nation the Unity of Jesus Christ, righteous legislation and education. Exactly as today's drug dealers lose trafficking boats and vehicles, Wilberforce unified his Nation, drafted the law and motivated Parliament creating the End of the Slave Trade across the world. The Law gave ability to keep slave ships for failure to uphold slave trade laws. The United Kingdom is credited with this Victory.
William Wilberforce began in Parliament 3 years after the colonies won Independence. From 1779 until 1833, Wilberforce created Laws to build up his nation.
The Force Wilberforce employed is, and was, Unity.
Unity.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
— That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes.
Military JAG justice uses all the defendant's history. Military Law is more complete and punishment is more rigid and long lasting. Prisoners are secure and not preyed upon. Police would not be responsible for their own justice, that would cease.
No longer is Crime judged by it's own Police Department.
No Longer Victims of Riots
Psalm 85
Lord, you were favorable to your land;
you restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2 You forgave the iniquity of your people;
you covered all their sin. Selah
3 You withdrew all your wrath;
you turned from your hot anger.
4 Restore us again, O God of our salvation,
and put away your indignation toward us!
5 Will you be angry with us forever?
Will you prolong your anger to all generations?
6 Will you not revive us again,
that your people may rejoice in you?
7 Show us your steadfast love, O Lord,
and grant us your salvation.
8 Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,
for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints;
but let them not turn back to folly.
9 Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him,
that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;
righteousness and peace kiss each other.
11 Faithfulness springs up from the ground,
and righteousness looks down from the sky.
12 Yes, the Lord will give what is good,
and our land will yield its increase.
13 Righteousness will go before him
and make his footsteps a way.
