"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."

"Police took down Dan Halsted while he was just innocently walking home. The officer stunned Halsted five times with a Taser in the back because he thought he sprayed some graffiti."

"The unsettling implication lurking beneath this story is that if Halstead had been spraying graffiti, this sort of treatment would have been perfectly appropriate." My sentiments exactly. As long as Americans tolerate the abuse of those later found guilty, the abuse of those later found innocent will continue.
