In an instant

A police officer puts a person resisting arrest in a choke hold. He ignores the pleas that the person can't breathe. The person dies.

A guy driving through a protest march hits a pedestrian. He's arrested for assault.

Another guy goes to work. Someone asks him to come out to the parking lot. It's his son. He proceeds to club his father to death with a baseball bat in the middle of the day in the parking lot.

It doesn't take long for a life to disappear. Robbing someone of one breath, one moment, one defensive move can have consequences that last forever.

Life happens in an instant. Be aware. Some things you can't get back after that instant is gone.
