Letter: Fear driving to grocery store

Today, on my way to the grocery store, a car was stopped in the middle lane. There were two police cars behind it with flashing lights. I had to pass by the driver’s side door just as a police officer was approaching. I realized I was afraid. What if someone panicked and a gun was fired? Would I be shot? I’m a 75-year-old woman and I’ve never had a thought or feeling like that before. This is not the country I grew up in, and I’m guessing it’s not the country you grew up in either. If you want to see our country return to the moral foundation and rule of law that made us truly special (purposely not using the word “great”), start by signing a nominating petition for any Democrat or other non-MAGA candidate running for office in Arizona. You can do it right from home by googling "How To Sign a Candidate’s E-Qual Petition."
