Day 2:
There is an immediate moment of rage that consumes you when you consider the 11 year old version of you being betrayed by the law. A law meant to protect and serve transformed into a militia meant to divide and conquer. I wonder, is it that simple to blast a minor with water or to take your K9 that doubled the victim in size and weight and unleash a fury that this child would never forget. Was it worth it? Could these officers sleep at night knowing they had stripped away the innocene of a teenager and made him or her fight a war that guranteed them nothing. Hard ache and terror was given to them at birth and children came every day to hand deliver America's gift back to her. In solitude they came to Birmingham and Selma, they came to Mississippi, they went to Georgia all in an attempt to give this racist world back their present of present danger. And since when has America turned down a gift.....only those gifts that were meant to destroy families and set back an entire race. America said "Sure you can keep that one." Yet these foot soldiers would not be denied. Rather 8 or 80, damaged or half crazy, they came not to be brutalized, just to give America what rightfully belonged to this land of the farce.....I mean the free....
Simple mistake...simple enough
