Here is another link to a bit-piece that appeared in today's inquirer http://www.philly.com/...
it turns out that the witnesses to this event were aplenty and the deleware media got some pics of the incident, as well. I was also contacted my the lawyers guild in philly and i am assisting their efforts to work out a legal solution for the family involved.
Now having said that, i can not seem to shake to image of a helpless mother's face watching in horror as her kids got beat up by the cops. seriously, lads and lassies, it almost makes me want to cry. I always fancied myself as a thick-skinned, seasoned activist but this incident has reminded me this it's my hyper-sensitivity to social justice that serves as my moral compass. AND THAT'S A GOOD THING!!!
p.s. if anyone has any pics of yesterday's event in philly please contact me?
