DAY of OUTRAGE
Aren’t The Police Suppose To Serve and Protect?
I wanted to wait to post this when I felt more capable of intelligently articulating my thoughts and feelings… but I can’t so bare with me. I JUST saw this for the very first time so its raw. I’m tired of hearing about this type of abuse and I’m tired of US laying down and taking it… It makes wonder if we are desensitized. Police brutality is a part of American history, in fact, its as American as apple pie….but how many more have to be brutalized, abused, shot, killed…before we re-write history and demand something different than what we’ve been getting? I’m really upset. Aren’t we suppose to call 911 for help? Look what happened to this young man!  Read more... (162 words, estimated 39 secs reading time)

Yesterday my hubby was worked up about a political cartoon I hadn’t seen.  I caught a glimpse of Al Sharpton talking about it on MSNBC but I immediately tuned out.

Walking To The National Mall:

Once we emerged from the L’Enfant Plaza metro station and got over our initial shock… we were greeted with the bone chilling cold outside and even more shock!  The streets were packed. There were people walking in every direction as far as the eye could see… There were police cars, emergency vehicles, cops on foot, cops on horse, news vans, chartered buses, helicopters over head, and people people people every where and all over.

Riding The Metro

We didn’t get a full nights sleep but we did have a power nap. We got up and got dressed fast. Layered in pounds of clothes we had no idea what the day would hold. Our big brother Marcus was up with us and drove us to the Metro Station. (Everyone else opted to sleep in and go later). The parking lot was already almost full at 4am. We found a park and made our way onto the train. We were packed like sardines on that train!  Read more... (575 words, 6 images, estimated 2:18 mins reading time)

Operation Get A Plane Ticket To DC Complete!
The plane ticket to DC was purchased this morning and proof of itinerary was confirmed and received by my local US Representatives office.
