Many years ago I worked with a woman I thought the world of. One day we were talking about various ticket experiences and she told a story about when she was a bartender going home at 3 AM and got pulled over. She was handcuffed and put face down on the ground with the cop's foot on her back holding her there. No ticket, no probable cause, nothing. In the history of the world, there was never a woman less likely of committing a crime. I get it.I am simply removing the burden from the victim to explain their pain. We live in the same country. I am done explaining. There have been dramas on TV since the 60’s explaining the “other America”. They laugh quickly enough at the comedy of our situation, but in the real world claim ignorance. Nah, you watched Sanford & Son, Chapelle Show, Fresh Prince, Heat of the Night . . . ya’ll know, no explanations required. If in doubt, read “The Fire Next Time”.
This time there's no need for anything. The video speaks volumes. There's no room for interpretation. He's going to jail.
And I loved Sanford and Son.
