The Law, is the Law, is the Law--Know Your Rights: MORE JUICE! TOOTH & NAIL! RELAX. WE ARE ALL CRAZY. IT'S NOT A COMPETITION! LOL! SAME MSN NEWS FEED: (1) A MORE PERFECT UNION--HOW TEENS & COPS ARE FINDING COMMON GROUND IN BOSTON; AND, IN A JUXTAPOSITION TO THAT ARTICLE, (2) STUDENT BODY-SLAMMED BY COP! WHICH DOG ARE COPS GOING TO FEED? THE DEVIL DOG? OR THE ANGEL DOG? I AM NOT GOING TO GIVE TIME TO THE BODY-SLAMMING COP, OTHER THAN TO SAY, THE STUDENT HE SLAMMED WAS A 15 YEAR OLD GIRL, NOT INVOLVED IN A CAT FIGHT BETWEEN TWO OTHER FEMALES, ONE THE YOUNG WOMAN'S SISTER, BUT, THERE IS NOT CALL FOR THIS. AS A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER, I FOUND MYSELF IN A POSITION, WITH A FIGHT, GOING ON OUTSIDE MY CLASS ROOM DOOR, WITH THE REGULAR TEACHER, A MALE, GONE . . . I HAD TO WALK, IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGH SCHOOL BOYS AND GIRLS, EGGING THE TWO PARTICIPANTS, ALTHOUGH, NOT WILLING PARTICIPANTS, SIMPLY, CAUGHT UP IN THE THROWS OF A POTENTIONAL CONFRONTATION, ENCOURAGED BY THE OTHER STUDENTS, NOT ENGAGED IN THE BATTLE--ONE ALREADY HAD A BLOODY LIP! AS THE ONLY AUTHORITY, IN THE HALLS, AND NOT EVEN A RECOGNIZED AUTHORITY, LIKE A CAMPUS RESOURCE COP WOULD BE, IN A HIGH SCHOOL, I BROKE UP THE CROWD, USING MY VERY STRONG VOICE, GRABBED, BOTH ALLEGED, FIGHTERS, BY THE SHIRT COLLARS, AND MARCHED, BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER, TO THE PRINCIPLE'S OFFICE AND TURNED THEM OVER TO HIM, NOT REALLY KNOWING, WHAT TO DO WITH THEM, OTHER THAN BREAK UP THE FIGHT . . . BOTH, VERY UNWILLLING, AND GRATEFUL, INDUCTEES, IN THIS SHOW AND BLOODLUST, ENCOURAGED BY OTHER STUDENTS, FOR GOD KNOWS, WHAT REASON, AN ADRENILINE RUSH, BOTH, SEPARATELY AND SOMETIME LATER IN SCHOOL, THAT DAY, THANKED ME FOR BREAKING UP THEIR FIGHT! I AM NOT GOING TO VENTURE INTO THE FACTS, OR THE OFFICER'S MIND, AS TO WHY HE DID THIS, NOT BEFORE THE CITY COUNSEL, AND BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE ACLU, OR NATIONAL, AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIEIS UNION, FOR CONSIDERATION, WHICH IS SOMETHING THIS OFFICER, HIS DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY, DON'T NEED, NOT TO MENTION THE SCHOOL, BUT, WE ARE HE IS NOW, WHERE HE IS, AND HAS TO DEAL WITH IT, RIGHT, WRONG, OR INDIFFERENT, AND A ROYAL PAIN IN THE ASS. THEN, TO CONTRAST THAT AND COMPARE IT TO, WHAT IS GOING ON IN BOSTON, IN THE PROGRAM, CALLED A MORE PERFECT UNION, TO SEE, COPS AND TEENS, ENGAGED, IN FUN, ACTIVITIES, CONVERSATIONS, ICE BREAKERS, AND LEARNING EXPERIENCES, SIDE BY SIDE, STARTED BY, STANLEY PALLICK OR POLLACK, DIDN'T SEE, THE SPELLING, AND I AM NOT SURE IF HE IS THE MAYOR, OR WHO EXACTLY AND BY WHAT AUTHORITY, MAYBE, SOMEONE WITH A GOOD IDEA AND SUGGESTION, STARTED THE "MORE PERFECT UNION" PROGRAM, HELPING COPS, AND TEENS TO FIND COMMON GROUND, AND THE PROGRAM IS A RESOUNDING SUCCESS, WITH A "0%" HOMICIDE RATE AND THE COPS, ATTRIBUTE THAT TO THE TEENS, AND THAT, I MY MIND, IS BEING MODEST, BECAUSE IT TAKES BOTH, SIDES, BUT, IN THIS "TEEN EMPOWERMENT" PROGRAM, THE SIDES, LEARN TO WALK IN EACH OTHER 'S SHOES, THE COPS AS A TEEN, OR AS A BLACK, MAN, AND THE KIDS, AS A COP, WORRIED THAT THEY MAY NOT GO HOME, TONIGHT, AND THROUGH, ALL THE RECENT, COP SHOOTINGS, AND SHOOTINGS OF COPS, EVERY UNDERSTANDS, THAT, THEY ARE ABOUT, IMPORTANT WORK, THAT WILL SAVE LIVES, OF CITIZENS AND COPS ALIKE, AND THEY ARE, AVOIDING, THE GROWING PAINS, OF MANY AMERICAN COMMUNITIES, THAT ARE FACING, THE DEATHS OF A GROWING NUMBER OF BLACKS, KIDS, WHO, HAVE BEEN KILLED FOR NOTHING MORE, THAT, WHAT YOU AND I DO, ON A REGULAR BASIS, OR OUR KIDS DO, AND ON THE OTHER HAND, LIKEWISE, OFFICERS, HAVE BEEN KILLED FOR DOING ROUTINE POLICE OR TRAFFIC STOPS, JUST LIKE OFFICERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY! THIS GROUP, IS REALISTIC ABOUT THE ISSUES, THE DIFFERENCES, AND THE DIFFICULTIES OF BOTH SIDES, BUT THROUGH IT ALL, THEY ARE FINDING "COMMON GROUND" AND GETTING INTO EACH OTHER'S HEADS AND LIVES, AND HAVING FUN DOING IT! OFFICER ZACH CROSSOVER, AND DANTE, A HOMELESS TEEN, LIVING ON COUCHES, AND TRYING TO SURVIVE, UNTIL HE GRADUATES FROM HIGH SCHOOL, A REALITY, WITH MANY TEENS, TODAY, GOT TO THE POINT, OF, SEEING TWO CHOICES IN LIFE, TO DIE OR GO TO JAIL . . . UNTIL HE WAS HOOKED UP WITH THE "TEEN EMPOWERMENT" PROGRAM, IN THE CITY, NOW, BACK IN SCHOOL, AND STAYING IN SCHOOL, WITH THE DREAM OF BEING A SOCIAL WORKER, SEEING HOW MANY OF THEM, HAVE HELPED HIM, IN HIS LIFE . . . BUT, HE AND CROSSOVER, RAN INTO EACH OTHER, THE OFFICER BEING ONE OF THE FEW WHITE OFFICERS IN DORCHESTER, WHERE THE PROGRAM IS, RUNNING INTO DANTE, WITH NOTHING MORE THAN, A FLIER, AS HIS DEFENSE, HANDED THE OFFICER, SOME INFORMATION, ON THE PROGRAM FOR A "MORE PERFECT UNION" AND BOTH ADMIT, THAT THINGS COULD, HAVE GONE SOUTH, REALLY FAST, BUT DIDN'T, AS, THE TEEN WAS ABLE TO EXPLAIN TO THE OFFICER, WHAT, HE WAS INVOLVED IN . . . BOTH DEALING WITH THE REALITY OF THEIR SPECIFIC POSITIONS, FEARS, GRIEVANCES, AND ISSUES, THAT ARISE BETWEEN COPS AND CITIZENS, ESPECAILLY, ONE, LIVING ON THE STREETS OF AT THE MERCY OF GOOD HEARTED STRANGERS AND FRIENDS, AT TIMES, BUT, BOTH, WORKING FOR, A BETTER OR MORE PERFECT UNION . . . HOW, INSPIRING, AS HOMICIDE RATES, ARE UP, ACROSS THE NATION, AND THERE IS UNREST IN THE STREETS, THESE COPS AND TEENS, ARE WORKING THINGS OUT! I SWEAR, ALL IT TAKES, IS TO, GET TO KNOW, DIFFERENT RACES, PEOPLE, RELIGIONS, CREEDS, AGES, DISABILITIES, THAT I LEARNED IN A BIG WAY IN SEATTLE, LAST WEEK, FIRST JUDGING, THEN, BEING, EXPOSED, THEN, MEETING, THEN, BECOMING FRIENDS, WITH EVERYONE, FROM DIFFERENT RACES, ASIANS, BLACKS, TO DISABLED, TO DOWNRIGHT, FUNNY AND COLORFUL, ANYWAY YOU LOOK AT IT, EVEN BEING CONSIDERED THE MOTHER OR GRANDMOTHER OF A BLACK BABY, WONDERING IF THE PERSON WAS COLORBLIND? LOL! THINKING TO MYSELF, NOW, JUST WHO, IN YOUR WORLD, CAN YOU PUT THIS CHILD, AND ME, TOGETHER? IN A MORE PERFECT UNION! WE CAN DO THIS AMERICA . . . WE CAN SHOW, ISRAEL AND THE PALESTINIANS, ALL THE FACTIONS IN SYRIA, ISIS, AND ALL THE PEOPLES OF THE EARTH, WHAT, "CAN'T WE ALL GET ALONG?" LOOKS LIKE, WHAT A COLORBLIND, RELIGIOUS BLIND, SOCIETY LOOKS LIKE WITH, A MORE TRANQUIL AND PERFECT UNION, WITH COMMON WELFARE, JUSTICE FOR ALL, GENERAL DEFENSE, AND PROSPERITY FOR EVERYONE, LOOKS LIKE . . . BOSTON, IS ABOUT A VERY SPECIAL, WORK, PLEASE, CONTACT THE CITY, TO GET SOME IDEA, WHO TO START SOME CHAPTER OR MODEL, OF THIS IN YOUR COMMUNITY, AND BIG ASS, BAD ASS COPS, DO HAVE A HEART, SO REACH OUT TO THEM, AS THEY REACH OUT TO YOU, AND IT IS ONLY THE SMALL WHO ARE CRUEL, THE BIG, THE BIG HEARTED, THE GIANTS, CAN, REACH OUT AND TOUCH, SOMEBODY'S HAND, WHO IS IN NEED OF LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING . . . THAT IS NOT WEAKNESS, NOR IS COMMUNITY POLICING! WE ALL RISE AND FALL TOGETHER! DIVIDED WE FALL. UNITED WE STAND! THERE IS A GREAT AD, PUT OUT BY, THE YWCA, OR THE "Y" SHOWING, THAT IDLE HANDS, BORED MINDS, VACANT HOMES, CREATE PROBLEMS, INJURY, AND VANDALISM, PROBLEMS FOR SOCIETY, BUT, GIVE THAT LATCH KEY KID, SOMETHING TO DO, SOMEWHERE TO GO, AN ACTIVITY TO BE INVOLVED IN, A PROJECT, LIKE THE "MORE PERFECT UNION" AND YOU WILL SEE, YOUNG MINDS, TAKE OVER AND SKYROCKET A COMMUNITY PROJECT, INTO THE ATMOSPHERE, WORKING THEIR SMART ASSES OFF TO MAKE THE PROJECT, PROGRAM, A SUCCESS, JUST LIKE THE TEENS IN DORCHESTER! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, AND TEACH THE REST OF US! LOVE IS THE ANSWER, AND JESUS, SURE AS SHIT, WAS, NOT WEAK! WE CAN DO THIS AMERICA! DO UNTO OTHERS, AS YOU WOULD HAVE DONE TO YOU! KISSES, HUGS, LOVES, FROM MISSOULA, MONTANA, WHO, JUST IN KALISPELL, ALONE, HAD, LIKE 345 HOMELESS TEENS, TRYING TO FINISH HIGH SCHOOL! DANTE IS NOT, ALONE! HE BROKE DOWN AND CRIED DURING THE INTERVIEW, WHEN, THE COMMENTATOR, SAID, YOU HAVE HAD A HARD LIFE? HE SAID, YEAH! OPEN YOUR HEARTS, YOUR WALLETS, YOUR MINDS, YOUR LOVE! PEOPLE NEED YOU!
