    the brutality of US law enforcement became evident

    Rodney King “can’t we all just get along” seemed pretty evident in 1991. George Quintana handcuffed/hog tied near the exhaust of an idling police car and dying while being ignored was happening around then on the other coast too…

    The pubic was plenty aware of “Pigs” and police brutality during Kent State in 1970.

    Our continued failure to address the adversarial stance of police, courts and populace has been haunting us my whole life, and my father his whole life back to the Vietnam draft days.

      We really wanted to believe all the copaganda.

      During the Law & Order phase everyone was way into the copaganda.

      Now we have Blue Bloods and I bet people still watch that.
