“We work against a social evil. If this evil isn't reacting it means we aren't a threat.”

One colleague was shot, another was beaten to death. I've injuries all over my body. We work against a social evil. If this evil isn't reacting it means we aren't a threat.
“I and the public know

Those to whom evil is done
Do evil in return.”
