"I refuse to accept despair as the final response to the ambiguities of history. I refuse to accept the idea that the "isness" of man's present nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up for the eternal "oughtness" that forever confronts him." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Oslo, Norway, December 10, 1964.

Living in Big D
I am sitting here and watching the local news in Dallas. The CBS affiliate just ran a story showing footage from a police chase yesterday. The perp (I loved NYPD Blue) stops his car, gets out and lays face down on the ground. Eight cops run up with guns drawn (while the guy lays face down remember). The first cop to arrives and stands on the dude's head several times. After being flooded with phone calls over the excessive use of force the Dallas police department issued a statement today saying that the suspect was still a threat. How on earth is some unarmed guy lying face down in the road a threat? I wonder why Dallas has the highest crime rate in the USA?

Oh be careful bro - our "law and order" Republican brethren will accuse you of hating the police and bashing America and being an anarchist and liberal and don't you realize that it's different in a "post 9/11 world" (as Hannity would say) and the perp was probably an illegal alien who shouldn't be here anyway and his mother is probably on welfare and his sister is pregnant and oh, he probably listens to rap!!!
Oh, check by blog - I'm back in business.
Brilliant! Brilliant! If I am in the mood to puke then I listen to Hannity on the radio. The constant "Sean you're a great American" is sickening.
Ryan, you're a great American!
I invite the public to attend the federal jury trial to be held before US District Judge Jane Boyle. The defendants are two Dallas police officers and two Dallas County jail supervisors. I was born in the US, college degree, pay property taxes and was subjected to unreasonable use of deadly force by these defendants. For details see www.federalcaseagainstdallas.4t.com. There is video tape, color photos, several witnesses, doctors, etc. I promise it will be interesting. If you have any questions send me an email at danielmontesjr@hotmail.com. Thank you, (s) Daniel Montes, Jr., PLAINTIFF.
