I’m thinking the cops kinda got off on it. Sick fucks. The town I live in has started a program that seems like a good step forward. It, at least can get someone, besides a cop, on the scene that knows how to act in a situation like this. Deets are here:

This kind of thing could help, I think.

It's not the sort of work that appeals much to nice people. Never has been.

I'm white, but I was the kid from the trailer park, so I got just a taste of the regular diet of abuse doled out to minorities. I learned that the policeman wasn't my friend when I was still in grade school - he was someone who might hurt you just for the hell of it.

The worst part is having to live in a society that practically worships cops and authority figures. I can barely watch TV these days because it's all bullshit pro-cop propaganda portraying those bastards as heroes.
