POLICE BRUTALITY.
The defendant sat quietly until the guilty verdict was announced.
Without warning, he grabbed the pistol of a corrections officer
and shot the prosecuting attorney in the face.
The attorney died a terrible death.
To escape, the defendant jumped from the fourth story window.
He was apprehended shortly thereafter.
When he came back into the courtroom he wore a Hannibal Lecter mask.
His face was so distorted that everyone in the room was stunned.
His mother saw his face and jumped up and screamed police brutality.
She was led from the courtroom screaming about injustice
The pepetrators of the beating were found innocent
Never once did I hear his mother say to him
"Son you have killed a man, shot him in his face. Don't you think that's very brutal?"
Were the scales of justice even that day
