I never did see that guy again. It's been quite a few years but I bet he'll remember me. I remember him.

And I'm thinking the decent humans are too quiet. Is it worth the effort to stand out, just to be shot down? I think enough people see and know there's consequences they don't want to deal with.

About the gawkers: Some do yell and scream, and its not always because they're trying to help. Sometimes it's because they've been watching this violence, only seeing one side of the story, and hating all cops even when what they're doing is what should be happening. Those cops are there to help, so we don't have to. And of course, these days I have to add in the disclaimer that yes, sometimes they fuck up, and other times they're fuck ups.

Super shitty when people are straight up beating one another, because drunk, and all people do is watch, or run in to add in a kick while someone is already down. Treating life like a movie. Cheering like it's a boxing match. And of course, recording it for later.
