And...it's time to go back to bed...

"People here are afraid of the police," said Terry Willis, vice president of the Homer NAACP branch. "They harass black people, they stop people for no reason and rough them up without charging them with anything."
That is how it should be, responded Russell Mills, Homer's police chief, who noted the high rates of gun and drug arrests in the neighborhood.
"If I see three or four young black men walking down the street, I have to stop them and check their names," said Mills, who is white. "I want them to be afraid every time they see the police that they might get arrested. We're not out there trying to abuse and harass people-we're trying to protect the law-abiding citizens locked behind their doors in fear."
I don't want to analyze right now.
Don't want to think.
Do want to drug myself with some more Benadryl and go back to bed.
