COUPLE QUESTION

     I got a couple questions for you all.  Are people not allowed to change?  And If they are not allowed to change or people think that a person can not change, what is the point of all this protesting?   I saw a news story on yahoo about a police officer who was label the basketball cop. I thought that was progress, and the next thing you see is where someone dug up a video that was not quite as favorable from a couple years back of this officer.  I feel people can change. All you have to do is want to change and you can.  I also noticed the second part of that story did not show what happened before the officer arrested the young man ( that he was rough with a couple years before the basketball video surfaced).   It seems people are to be penalized for things they did years ago EVEN IF they have changed their way of thinking and dealing with things, and they are trying to do better, people still want to make it seem as though they are the same person they were in the past.  It is not always the case.  I know because I myself was one of those people that once saw things differently then I do now. All it takes is a real desire to change and you can, but it would seem that some people do not want to see when someone changes. They would rather try to make a person look bad for mistakes they made in the past instead or seeing the changes for the good you are making.   So again the question is ARE PEOPLE NOT ALLOWED TO CHANGE IN THIS COUNTRY, WILL YOUR PAST FOREVER LABEL YOU AS BAD IF YOU DID SOMETHING BAD YEARS AGO?
     The ironic thing in this all is everyone pledge to make changes in their lives on new years day( although few follow through many people actually make the  change) so why is it so hard for people to believe that someone MAY actually make changes their thinking and their lives for the better?
