So a friend of my dad's was shot Sept 16 after his SUV stalled on the road.
He was unarmed and they had already tasered him to the ground.
Pretty unbelievable.

Everything is connected, because it's all being created by this one consciousness. And we are tiny reflections of the mind that is creating the universe.

These stories keep getting worse. Very sorry to hear the victim was close to your family, Budd.
Is this still Wombat?

He was a business associate of my fathers so I had never met him but Dad is pretty shook up about it.

Heard about this on NPR this morning actually driving in to work. Watching that video, he had his hands up and his back to them, did not seem threatening in any way. Who knows what was said, but from body language alone, seems absurd that he was shot, or even tasered.
Sometimes we live no particular way but our own.

I can't even imagine the fine line between the brutal reality of seeing video of your loved one's murder and the relief of knowing that very video will help bring justice. A situation I would not wish on my worst enemy.
I've been coming to where I am from the get go
Find that I can groove with the beat when I let go
So put your worries on hold
Get up and groove with the rhythm in your soul
