As for the saying, it sounds familiar, yet it doesn't matter to me much anymore whether they want to do whatever they want to do to me. In the end, the only way I can live with what happened is to turn it into something positive...<BR/><BR/>The only way left for me to do that is to try to turn what was a devastating event for me into something that might help others. So, hopefully, I'll be able to do that at least... and hopefully, in some small way, it'll help change things so nobody else has to go through what I did.<BR/><BR/>So, thanks for the support, it means a lot to hear it, and I hope I can write some things that are worth reading.NPMSRPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052178969107494589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546950008014232634.post-11875101559401029022008-05-23T07:23:00.000-07:002008-05-23T07:23:00.000-07:00Well, even if it's a message from all the way acro...Well, even if it's a message from all the way across the country, I have to say that I appreciate what you do and would hope to see you keep going and talking about and raising awareness. Even if I was never a victim of police abuse, it is obvious to anybody that looks that it does exists.<BR/><BR/>There's a saying I heard a while back that seems appropriate here: "When you cower, you become stepped on. When you stand up, you become targeted." You are definitely doing the latter by putting this stuff out publicly where as the far majority would have done the former. That doesn't make you subhuman, but superhuman; you are doing more than what I would have done, for sure.<BR/><BR/>I have added you to my daily reads, and I thank you for speaking out. Police and justice systems, like any other public service, are necessary parts of society. But they are supposed to serve society, not the other way around. <BR/><BR/>Also, this is *your* blog. As a regular reader, I do not mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
