Last night as my wife and I watched events unfold on television
she commented “I’d like to know more about that policeman,
is he married, does he have children?”
Since I’ve been known to run with a particular thought, be it
mine or anyone else’s, here goes.
Yes indeed, is he married, does he have children, does he have
brothers, sisters? We know he has or had a mother and father.
As he knelt on that man, could he have had this thought,
“I might be suffocating a husband, a father or a brother,
I know he’s someones son”.
Eight minutes and forty-six seconds surely gives you time
to think; I thought and wrote this post in about three minutes.
What was he thinking?, pray tell.
