It has been so long since you were paired up with me and two guys i never knew (or know)
and paraded us around the oily shithole known as "Guantanamo on the Hudson".
You were apologetic, understanding and kind. Your dismissive estimate of a 3-4 hour hold before we could resume our protests was totally incorrect.
I hope that when you are looking at a jury of my peers you will remember you are one, too.
I hope you will remember who told you to pen us in on the sidewalk and why.
I hope you can draw the shortest, most legitimate line from yourself to Chief Timoney to G.H.W. Bush.
I hope that because of what you were paid to do to me, you are not doing it today to them.
I remember you as a proud Italian-American badass... I remember you liked us and felt bad.
When the N.Y.P.D. becomes as permissive of peaceful protest as they are of corporate power

When the N.Y.P.D. becomes as permissive of peaceful protest as they are of corporate power
success is possible.
I remember the Bush I savings and loan scandal, I remember moving hundreds of pounds of boxes of bullshit paperwork out of a bullshit abandoned office next to a great diner in the heart of Upper Darby.
I remember how proud we were of smart bombs and drones
and bull markets.
I remember being entrapped and falsely arrested and put in solitary confinement
I remember being maced two different times as i stood in my cell naked, defiantly screaming.
I remember being forced by police to enter a loony bin and then getting a $40,000 bill for it.
What do you remember?
