They shot another one of us.
What’s the story this time?
Kid messed up on something. Being a vandal. Had a knife and jumped at a cop. Dude popped him sixteen times. Most of them after the kid had hit the floor. You could see the smoke coming out of his body.
What’d they make of it?
The usual. Mayor apologized, cop’s boss was fired, and the guy’s in court now. They gave the family some money, then released the video for all to see.
The two men sat in silence for some time.
Think it will ever change?
One day.
Reflective of some of our current culture. Relevant story based in reality.
