The underpinning of the rising police state is the changing economy and the mass poverty it produces.

History also shows that as this brutality becomes accepted by the majority, it is inevitably used against everyone.
I am Angry!
I am angry.. I have to teach my child things other Americans don’t.. I have to be sure he/she knows the police may not be their friend.. be careful when you meet him.. speak softly, be respectful, do what he says…and still I fear he still won’t make it home….he still may die.
I am angry.. my brother must be careful what he wears, what he says what he does,where he goes, he must always be afraid …and always we ask why/
I am angry… my father .. must not raise his voice, he must not be angry when he is abused.. must remain passive in the face of others uncalled for rage…
I am angry… for all my children of color of the world… everyday they must fear…. death.. or the lock up the cage….
I am angry… but I shall use my anger to stand up …I shall use my anger to fight…in ways that must change the killing and the locking up .. I must constructively use my rage!!
I am angry.. that I cannot just be a human being who walks the world , I have no malice .. why then when they see us do they hate..
I am angry.. I fear… we must change this system that is destroying not just us but them , us all.. we must …before it is too late!!
I am angry!!
