There are words that are misused in the media: first “protesters.” That word should be restricted to nonviolent activities. If there is violence we have other words: rioters, saboteurs, mobsters, thugs, insurgents, etc.
“Law and order” would be more enlightened as “safety and justice.”
“Police force” could be “police services.”
“Armed forces” should always be “armed services.”
Our words make a difference in our thinking. Maybe we can use peaceful words and slowly become a more peaceful society.
